The Sanctum of Psor'il
🕑 Added 2022-08-10 18:24:42 +0000 UTCFor a number of reasons, I don't draw monsters in maps. It might look like that's what I did here, but... it is and isn't a monster. Allow me to explain. Psor'il, the aboleth who resides here, is trying to bring a creature from a bizarre, hostile dimension into the Black Loch.
To allow it to cross over, the aboleth's minions are making a substance called "schismic flux," which weakens the barrier between dimensions. They've weakened it quite a bit, but not enough for the creature to pass through. So, at the moment, the creature is stuck in between planes. And it's visible in this world, but it's not tangible yet. In other words, the monster is scenery. Weird, scary scenery, but not a monster. Yet.
I'm very curious what your opinions on it are. I was trying to make this place as strange as possible and that was one of the things I came up with. I also made a version without the worm in case anyone objects.
Next, I'll be drawing the map chosen by last month's Cartographic Congress: a sewer system with tunnels that cut through ancient, dwarven ruins, leading deep into the earth. After that, I'll be back to the Black Loch to draw one of the last 3 locations.
Anyway, I'd love to know what you think about the map. And I know it's kind of a strange one, so if you've got any questions, feel free to ask!
