🕑 Added 2020-12-07 08:15:16 +0000 UTCI did quite a bit of research for this map, particularly on Middle Eastern architecture and furnishings. It isn't based on any real place, but it was inspired by the Masjid Wazir Khan in Pakistan and the Buland Darwaza in India.
As I was skimming through the various reference material I used here, I came across something largely unrelated, but ridiculously awesome: zamburaks. This is a small cannon mounted on a camel. Not pulled by a camel, mounted on the camel. It's a camel with a cannon turret on its back and I swear to god it was a real thing that people did. My players are in the middle of a frozen wasteland at the moment and I want to drag them out to a desert just so I can have them get shot at by a camel cannon.
I'll resist the urge, but maybe you don't have to. See the stables in the map there? *Slaps roof* This bad boy can fit six zamburaks in it. I am just saying.
Next up is last month's Cartographic Congress winner, a village for an amphibious people, located on a hill that is submerged during high tide. An inn at the top of the hill is the only structure permanently above water. I've got a lot of ideas churning around for this one and I think it'll end up being pretty interesting. Anyway, let me know what you think of the map! Or zamburaks.

Thanks, but there's already a foundry module for patrons that has this map in it, as well as all the other maps I've done over the last couple months. All new maps go into it, so you can update the module every time I post a map and it'll be there. I'll send you a message with the link, but you can find it in the Table of Contents post that's pinned at the top too.

I just spent an afternoon doing some pretty BA (if I do say so myself) Foundry lighting for this. I am new to foundry, so not sure how to share my work, but will send your way if I figure it out.

He's the Hannibal of camels, haha.

I am gearing up for a Forbidden Lands campaign and I think a random encounter with a fellow on a camel that somehow made it over mountains that currently block the western lands would be SO fun. Oh, and beautiful map!!
