🗺️ New Release: Dreadmire Marsh, Witherway Bridge & Rookspire Keep – A War-Torn Adventure Awaits

Hey everyone!

Happy release day! Today I’m thrilled to bring you three brand-new maps in our ongoing War-Torn Realms series. And they don’t come much more devastated than the Southern Provinces—a region from the Fallen Kingdom setting where war, undeath, and tragedy still echo across the land.

💀 This Week’s Drop:

🗺️Witherway Bridge – a decaying wooden span over a misty, corpse-filled river

🗺️Dreadmire Marsh – a winding trail through a cursed battlefield that refuses to rest

🗺️Rookspire Keep – a towering stronghold held by an undead commander bound by duty

These maps are perfect for undead-themed adventures, gritty campaigns full of ancient oaths and cursed landscapes, or any journey where the line between history and horror starts to blur.

⚔️ Adventure Hook: Whispers from Rookspire Keep

Centuries ago, a cataclysmic war drowned the Southern Provinces in blood. As the kingdom fell, a dark plague swept through its armies… and the dead never left. Now, only fragments of power remain—one of them being the mysterious Warden of Rookspire Keep, still holding his post atop the bluff.

When a local noble sends envoys to the keep, they vanish. The party is sent to find them—but they must travel through cursed waters and haunted ground to reach the keep’s gates.

🔍 What’s Inside the Maps?

📍 Witherway Bridge

• A haunted crossing over fast-flowing waters

• As fog rolls in, ghostly soldiers begin to emerge from the banks.

• Halfway across, the specters attack—moaning about lost lives and the peace they were promised.

📍 Dreadmire Marsh

• A battlefield drowned by time

• Rusted weapons and sunken bones fill the trail.

• Illusions from the ancient war flicker in the mist—phantom generals, spectral volleys.

• Wights, revenants, or boneclaws may rise to defend their cursed soil.

📍 Rookspire Keep

• A stronghold that refused to fall

• The torches are still lit. The soldiers still patrol.

• Their commander, Lord Varkus Blackwing, has held the keep since the war—undead, unyielding, and bound by oath.

• He believes the war is still being fought, and your party may be seen as allies… or enemies.

🕯️ Your Ending, Your Choice:

• Oath Unbroken – Fulfill Blackwing’s command with diplomacy or arcane means.

• War Rekindled – Fight your way through a siege of the dead, culminating in a battle with a death knight.

• Bury the Past – Uncover the dark truth of Rookspire’s final days and break the curse with knowledge, not blood.
