Remote Ice Camp
A camp stands on a frozen expanse of the lake’s surface. Trodden snow pressed into rough trenches forms paths to and from a group of igloos—dome structures of hewn ice and snow. Each protruding entrance, covered in hanging skins, points toward the bowl-like center of the site, where wisps of smoke rise into the still, […]
Mountain Camp
A steep trail winds along the lowest point of the ridge, through snow-dusted meadows with grass browning in the season’s chill. Fiery colors of autumn light the trees, all young and short. Upslope, to the northeast, an orderly palisade of thick logs and timber watch towers guard against ascent. Clouds flood the lower reaches of […]
Cave of a Thousand Waterfalls
The cavernous underground chamber echoes with the susurrus of cascading water. Ages of erosion from an aboveground source have carved the chamber into a series of rock shelves, sinkholes, and land bridges. The water seems to flow without end, shimmering in the light that pierces the chamber roof.
This expansive map depicts a deep chamber where […]
Endless Dungeon 41: The Ouroboros
The passage leads away to either side, eventually curving out of sight. A charge dances on the cool air, carrying with it the scents of ozone and charcoal. It pulses in time with the rise and fall of the rippling sea-green radiance issuing from the masonry lining every surface—which gives the impression of being underwater. […]
Badger Hill
The rolling countryside is an inviting sea of lush and sprightly grass. Simple dirt roads weave through the hills, under trees, and over lazy rivers. Across one of these babbling brooks, a tower of cobbled stone tops a hill. The chimney puffs a trail of white smoke. You see a squat figure standing near the […]
Faerie Ballroom
Golden sunlight, warm and dappled, bleeds through the stained glass and falls across the crystalline floor of the expansive ballroom. The glass depicts myriad figures and events, radiating outward from a towering tree whose branches entangle them all, connecting history through root and bough. To the left of the tree, golden figures bathed in light […]
Owl Cave
Shadows and light dance over the rough floor, thrown across the chamber and up the walls by torches ensconced in stalagmites. They reveal a great gap in the floor spanned by a sturdy bridge of stone. Somewhere in the dimness below, a great subterranean river flows. You spy signs of past travelers strewn about the […]
Faerie Portal
Cresting the stairs, a gate within the tree’s trunk beckons you forward. The light radiating from the portal grows fiercer, brighter, as you draw near. Whispers seem to emanate from that light as it pulses and swirls. A foreboding feeling crawls up your spine as you peer into the placid light—and beyond, you sense a […]
Antlion Canyon
The hard ground, slickrock and sandstone, glows beneath a relentless sun. The air is dry, though, and the shadows are cool. This is where rumors about caravans and bandits and a hive of monsters have brought you. You hear the croak of a vulture, and the falling screech of a hawk as if in response—or […]
