I've started working on the Temple of Poseidon on Quenten's Helmonte

Not you - surely!
What a deliciously beautiful start, Lorelei, I am so honoured you have chosen to do a map here.
Temple to Poseidon – pop 50
Exarch Gorgias is a sour humourless man who resents his ‘exile’ to this post ‘at the end of the earth’ He runs a very strict temple group – so much that there have been several who have fled, and now live in the forest with an assorted group of outlaws
My opinion only
And I just have to say how much I admire those cliffs. Where is the sacrificial maiden tied to a stake ?
Yes, the structures off the temple are water statues. - i imagine maybe, a place for worship of some of the lesser gods of waters? River God? Goddess of the Springs? Or whatever anyone who uses the map for an adventure wants them to be. It is a battle map - so I wanted a lot of actual space to be used for battles and a few places outside the temple that could be used for cover.
As far as any other buildings? No Quenten, i am doing just the temple - in a Greek open air style. Any residences for priests wouldn't be here...perhaps a bit more inland there is a priory or small village for your priests? I really only wanted to do a Temple...sorry. Perhaps i'll work on a village or priory at a later date when i've finished all my other commitments on the Atlas....and it is not my intent to work up or include a history or story with my maps. I've enough going on in my head trying to keep my OWN homebrew world straight and the history and storyline worked out, let alone a whole other world. LOL. As George Costanza says...."worlds collide!" haha. Of course, if you'd like to add some story or flavor for this map when it's complete, please do
Dare I ask, though - shouldn't the shading be on the opposite side - the same direction as the pillar shadows?
A pair of beautiful maps, no less
(EDIT: either that or its an optical illusion making the sunlight side of the symbol look like its darker because of the shadow on the other side)
Clever you
EDIT: you are using such wonderful fills and symbols. Can we know where they come from?
This map is so good, I think it must be done by Lorelei, she's a really GOOD mapper!
