Yes, I just couldn't resist when I found him.

The mighty Avatar of Winter ?

The Lost Temple of Winter

My first real battlemap! Somehow it became a bit more simslike, because I enjoyed adding furniture that much. ?

Only the allowed community resources were used in this, and one of the allowed fonts.

Same picture, just with higher resolution, can be found in my gallery. ?

Story behind the map:

The "Temple of Winter" once was an important place of worship.

Bright and joyful chant filled the air, and the remains of the former highpriests in their sarcophagi were honoured.

But something changed, the atmosphere grew thick with fear and something sinister lurked between the shadows of the

icecold flames. The sarcophagi started to glow, and rumours about weird whispers coming from them grew.

Soon the priests turned to human sacrifice for unknown reasons, some even becoming mad. Maybe an evil force corrupted their cult.

Few and fewer priests gathered there, deep below the surface of the mountains. Their sacred songs are no longer heard, and the might of fire and heat is closing in, with a stream of lava soon breaching through the wall oft he inner sanctum. In their last effort to save the temple, the remaining priests sacrificed their last prisoners, one being a mighty entity and avatar of winter.

But it didn't save the temple, and nearly all living beings fled. An evil shadow claimed the inner sanctum.

Will a group of mighty heroes be able to stop the lava from flowing into the temple, destroying its former glory?

Will the sinister presence there be purged and make it a bright place of holy worship again?

I'm not that much of a dungeonmapper, but I'll try to make one.

It's a great way to get me away from my usual WW2 or postapocalyptic overland maps - testing and learning something new is always fun. Cool!
