Community Atlas -- The Darklands

ScottA

I thought it might be fun to do a subterranean world for the Community Atlas, so here it is, The Darklands. Hope people enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together... It just went "live" in the Atlas.

Fascinating stuff, Scott!

Are you planning some access-point surface maps too?

Lorelei

NIce work.....wondering the same.....where IS this and how do we get there

EDIT: Oh sweet! I just checked the Community Atlas sticky post and see you've placed it under my island of Malajuri. Great!! Thanks for another great contribution!

I didn't include specific access points but explain in the little description that it is accessible through steep tunnels, deep fissures and abandoned wells. I figured people who wished to use it could put it and start out where they wanted. So theoretically a group of adventurers could get to The Darklands from anywhere on Malajuri if their GM so chooses. Maybe a cave, maybe the well of some long-forgotten estate, maybe some dark crevice in the ground... I like to keep some things vague enough so that they can be easily placed into on-going adventures. That also gives other mappers plenty of opportunities to make access points on their maps if they want to.

Yes, Lorelei, Malajuri just seemed "right." I may do additional pieces of The Darklands beneath other continents if people enjoy it and want me to do more... I also have a little drow fungus plantation map I did for a Guild challenge that I might give to the Atlas. I just have to change some things as I used some non-CC3+ fills on that one and we don't want any red Xs!

Great work, Scott

The bottomless sea is almost asking for an underwater 'level -2'?

Must have taken you quite a while to create it all. Wonderful imagination

Thanks, Sue. Yes, the naming is one of my favorite parts, although it can also be the most frustrating!

Perfect!

This map will become part of my high level campaign.

Thanks for another great map!

ScottA

Fun! And thanks so much!

Say, I just noticed that the numbers went missing from the scale bar! Each section is 50 miles for a total of 200 at the end of the scale bar...
