Notes on the contents of this pack:
This Highlight contains the first part of Chapter 9-The Dark Crusader
Second and last part in the next Highlight !
1-For the first 2 maps, not much to say, you're plunged right into the heart of the battle, meeting the first NPCs and witnessing unprecedented violence.
2-For the Blachernae Palace map, I was able to use a photo of the façade. As is often the case, it's pretty close to what the place looked like. This place is like your HQ, where you are given your mission. You have to be accountable.
3-The Road Walk map is used by investogators to interact with crossed horrors to reach the the center of Constantinople. There's also an entrance that can be used to enter an underground cistern.
4-In The Cistern of Aetius, (or whatever it's called), you're ambushed.There are 2 cisterns in this chapter. I distinguished them by their size and ground texture.
5-The Leper ship is anchored in the port of Constantinople, but not directly alongside, so you have to take a boat to reach it. I've taken advantage of the ash clouds and the atmosphere to make this ship even more eerie. On board, you'll meet a certain Merovac, who's sure to be a rich source of information on your mission, since he's none other than Fenalik in disguise...
6-Theodosius' forum serves 2 purposes. Again, use it to report on the infamies caused by this crusade. Also in the basilica to the north, you'll meet Padre Agostino, who will refer you to the church of St. Mokius. Here again, the place looks pretty accurate, as I based it on documentation.
Please note that most of these maps can also be used in many other scenarios created by you, or in other official scenarios with a little adaptation.
The FoundryVTT Ready version will be available at the end of the full chapter.
