The Ruins of Giltwater - Patrons' Edition
🕑 Added 2023-04-22 13:29:42 +0000 UTCGiltwater is the first Dhasran gold mining colony in Tir Thelandira, marked as "Burned Colony" on this map.
When I finished drawing this, I read back through the lore of Tir Thelandira and realized I'd made a mistake. In the lore, I said that hundreds were killed when the elves attacked Giltwater. But I hadn't drawn a colony big enough to hold hundreds of people. So what did I do? I did what anyone writing fantasy roleplaying game lore would do. I retconned it. I retconned the absolute living hell out of it.
I think the lore will have to stay a little flexible until the island is done, particularly since there are three locations that haven't been decided on yet, which makes them hard to plan for. Speaking of which, if you're a patron and you haven't cast a vote on the second ballot for location #1, you've got one more day to do that.
So, what's next? Well, I'm sick at the moment and I don't have it in me to start on a new map today, so I'm going to give myself something easy to do. Tir Thelandira is going to be part of a larger world with many more islands and I want to start laying out that larger world so we can start thinking about where we go once this first island is done. I feel like I'm up to that. I can draw a collection of variously-sized blobs. I believe in me.
I should have that done tomorrow and you can tell me your thoughts about it. After that, I'll get started on another map for Tir Thelandira. Okay. Time for blobs.

Sure, I can see that. Or it might just work as is, since they could be growing food on the asteroid. I'm not sure exactly how that'd work, but nearly anything is possible in Spelljammer.

I could see this being an easy conversion to a ruined astroid/moon settlement with the water being replaced with space background and the land recolored with rock and the foliage replaced. Yoinking some backlog for spelljammer, love the work.
