Hohenzollern Castle - Patrons' Edition
🕑 Added 2023-06-10 04:06:38 +0000 UTCI've had a few people working on academic papers message me about my historical maps and I want to make something clear for anyone who googled their way here: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT USE MY MAPS AS REFERENCE FOR ACADEMIC RESEARCH. If you can't find a complete, contemporary floor plan, I probably didn't either. And-- this is important-- I'M ALLOWED TO FILL IN THE GAPS BY MAKING STUFF UP. The idea that I might inadvertently rewrite history by making D&D maps is slightly hilarious, but ultimately something to avoid.
*ahem*
With that out of the way, Hohenzollern Castle, in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, was the ancestral seat of the Hohenzollern Dynasty. The Hohzenzollerns were the rulers of Prussia and, later, Germany. They also produced some of the most potent mustaches in Central Europe. Without getting too far into it, let's just say things went well for the Hohenzollerns right up until they didn't.
This map turned out to be a ton of work, but I hope you like it. Next, I'll be drawing the map chosen by the last Cartographic Congress: a small, fortified dwarven port town. Erik, who proposed the idea, plans to use it as a part of Brazenthrone, so I guess you could consider this an unofficial expansion of the dwarven city.
Okay, that's it. I'd love to hear what you think of Hohenzollern Castle!
