"And they call it a mine. A MINE!"

"This is no mine... it's a tomb!"

-The Fellowship of the Ring

Here is a huge dungeon map for your players to explore: an underground mining complex! I was of course inspired by Moria and Khazad-dûm but I've added a few unique twists to make it as useable in as many settings as possible. Flooded, Underwater, Lava, Frozen, and Desert are just a few of the 22 variations!

One of my patrons suggested that I add some glowing crystals, so I did. But instead of choosing one color for the crystals I just made 12 different versions with all different colors! In addition to the props $5 patrons have access to in the Prop Emporium, I've also included over 1,000 Crystals tokens that you can drop on to your map or add to other maps.

Most versions of the map come with a tile asset of an altar that you can use to cover the spiral staircase on the top level - just delete or hide it when your players find the entrance or solve a puzzle.

Kingsbane: A 5e Adventure from JKW

I've also teamed up with JKW to create a D&D 5e adventure for this map: "Kingsbane". Your players will venture into an abandoned cliffside in search of a powerful lost artifact:

The mountain temple of Gaeleath once stood as a living testament to the eponymous King and his mighty companion, Pyroeis. Dozens of acolytes and griffon riders lived within its walls, and they worked diligently over a number of years to expand their home further into the mountain.

Unfortunately, their work disturbed a terrible evil deep beneath the earth: all who dwelled within the temple were put to the flame, and the elders of Kuzhuk had no choice but to seal it off from the rest of the world.

Now, centuries later, amidst a new crisis emerging in Vaskil Valley, the elders have deemed it necessary to launch an expedition into that forgotten hold. They seek to reclaim The Kingsbane, Gaeleath's fabled weapon, believing its power capable of safeguarding their people from the coming storm.

The PDF is available for my $5 patrons and higher, or you can grab it on JKW's Patreon page. This map and adventure will also by available on the Roll20 Marketplace and be featured in Broadsword Monthly Magazine, courtesy of DM Dave!
