🗺️ New Map Release – Our descent into Khaz Narak Begins!

Greetings travelers,

We’re now in Week 3 of this month’s theme: Dwarven Strongholds, and I’m especially excited about today’s release. So far this month we’ve explored a dwarven gatehouse, a dwarven shrine, and even a port city carved into the mountain rock. But today, we take our first steps into a true dwarven hold—Khaz Narak, home of the Ironmantle Clan

This release includes the first two levels of the mountain stronghold (five levels total are planned).

⚔️ The Entrance Hall - 12 Variants

A vast, fortified passage that serves as the hold’s gateway to the outside world. Strong walls, sturdy gates, and vigilant guards ensure no unwelcome guests enter unchallenged. A handful of trusted human traders are allowed this far—but no deeper.

🏘️ The Commons - 11 Variants

Something I feel is often overlooked in fantasy maps—where do the inhabitants actually live? The Commons is the beating heart of Khaz Narak: rows of living quarters, a bustling market, a hearty tavern, a halls of records, and even access to a subterranean lake. This level is full of daily life and rich roleplay opportunities for your players.
