A long forgotten battlefield, overtaken by volcanic landscape…

A long forgotten fortress…

Ancient lurking evils…

A War all but forgotten…

Save by a few.

This is my first major board that I have made. I’ve made smaller ones in the past, just for me but I wanted to make something bigger. This is what came out. A hellish landscape, an ancient ruin of a castle that has long been forgotten. Powerful beasts lurking in caverns and in the fire. A skeleton force, hiding underground, trying to survive.

I have purposefully placed many hooks on this board so that a GM can just craft their own story here. A few Monsters have been placed for inspiration as to what Tale to tell here. Will the players try to escape from the cliffs, or try to ascend them? Are they bound for the ancient Fort to unravel the events of the past and face an ancient evil? Are they trying to hunt for the treasures in the middle of the lava lake? However you want to play this, there are many ways to jump into this one.

I hope this board runs somewhat well, I tried my best to not be TOO obsessed with detail.

This map stands on the shoulders of giants. Credit goes out to:
– LemurianSettler (most of the Volcanic Hellscape Set was used here, and some of the Demonic Hellscape)
– GrimmGitz (for many of the ruined structures on the ground level)
– 0ops1e (for the suspension bridge, I took parts of that and used it here)
– cebmofroz (for the Sarcophagus Slime – Outside token)
– simsete (for the Fire Snake token)
– Lufig (For the Remorhaz token and the Adult Red Dragon)
– … I hope I got everyone. I tried my best to keep track!
