A fun little map

I drew this little map the other day during a session of Hill Cantons where during the sack of a minor city state by an army of aggrieved war bears the party ran down the city's recently deposed Czernobog/demon worshiping ruler along with a cadre of his fanatical warriors (dressed in absurd bronze and black iron harness, horned helmets and fur topped boots) in the ritual caves beneath the city.  The party was blasted with a fireball, and had terrible luck with initiative, but eventually stabbed, choked and hacked the wizard king to death without losing a member (though there were some rolls on the unforgiving death and dismemberment table).

Here's the map...


or if one likes a more classic feel...




This is Ironspire Island - a mysterious outcropping less then two miles long (hexes seem useless to me here - but hey, tradition) in the balmy seas off the Feral Shore.  It has not been explored as despite its interesting features, including the mysterious iron spires on its Eastern hill, the island is infested with zombies in the swarming hundreds - maybe even thousands.  A mystery of the Hill Cantons that I hope this map will encourage its players and Gm to explore.

  1. The most dominant aspect of this map is the edge of it.
    Second most a bunch of hexes.
    Hexes maps are for war gaming on maps.
