The Astronomer's Tower
🕑 Added 2024-07-11 14:47:09 +0000 UTCSo this is a fairly classic wizard's tower. I wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel here, but I did want to make it more interesting than your average, military-issue wizard tube.
The top floor has a telescope and an armillary sphere, which is basically a 3-dimensional astrolabe. It calculates the position and movement of stars. Beyond that, I'm not sure there's too much to explain.
I drew a ruined version of this map for patrons, which should be done by tomorrow. After that, I'll get back to drawing more of the Stygian City. Anyway, I hope you like the map. Let me know what you think!

Haha, you got me.

It is immediately apparent that despite his claims to be a wizard, the occupant is actually an alchemist. 1: he has a bathroom, with a tub. Everyone knows that wizards just shit themselves and then cast prestidigitation. Bathes are even more preposterous. 2. His laboratory is full of plants and equipment, without a summoning circle or rune to be seen anywhere. 3. The cannon on his roof. Massive cannons are always a dead giveaway that someone spends their time making black powder, not studying books.
