Drowning Hill - Patrons' Edition
🕑 Added 2020-12-19 04:05:05 +0000 UTCThis is pretty far from your run-of-the-mill village and I think I owe everyone an explanation of some of the things going on here, so the annotated version and DM notes are available to everyone.
Drowning Hill is a village meant for an amphibious race. The name is a fairly literal description of the place, since most of the village is submerged by high tides. With the place being underwater on a fairly regular basis, it's not an ideal location for people who are particularly picky about whether they're breathing a gas or a liquid.
I could talk more about the various races that might live here, but all my thoughts on that are in the DM notes. Also, it just recently occurred to me what a perfect aboleth lair this would be and now that's the only thing I can see. A big, clairvoyant fish hiding under his cult of drooling lackeys.
You might be wondering about Nina's Inn. Why Nina? Well, the idea for this map came from the Cartographic Congress, and the person who proposed it, James, asked if I'd name the inn after his wife, so I did. Although, in the DM notes, I may have... sort of implied that she's a fish cultist. Let's hope James married a woman with a good sense of humor.
I tried some new things with the color here and I'm pretty sure this is the best I've ever colored anything in my life. So I might keep doing that. If you've got any thoughts about it, let me know.
The next map won't take long. I'm going to make another version of this with roofs on it. Everything's already drawn and I might have it done by tonight. After that, I'll be drawing a floating market, one of the last three maps from the Great Vote. Anyway, let me know what you think!
