The first strip map, from the Dungeon of the Dragon to the Lava River. I'll have to alter the Dungeon of the Dragon map to connect to this map. The road in this instance, is a foot path. Stalagmites on the right side map. It gets hotter the closer to the lava river.

Probably needs a bit of work, comments welcome.

I looked closer, all of the strip sheets have blur or something else on them. I took that off, and now I can see the map more clearly.

Maps so far with some notes.

The Bleakness area where these are located.

A desolate place, once called Refuge. All gone. There are no tumbleweeds, too hot, they catch fire if they travel through here. But some exist near Cold Keep. The air temperature is slightly cooler here.

Cold keep area

Four abandoned towers, a small village near cold keep. No one lives here anymore. Don't walk near the sand dunes, some claim they will talk to you.

Cold keep

A buildings, some down and scorched trees, a ruined keep. Two skeletons, are they the last defenders ? Dirt and rocks cover most of the stone steps going down into the ground. The wood debris, with the exception of the house, doesn't look burnt.

Cold keep basement

The stairs lead down, and no opening. But there is a secret door. Just push on it, and it will open. Two skeletons on the floor, don't worry. They won't bite.

The large room has 5 broken barrels. And 6 small barrels with nice cool water in them. Likely drawn from the well. Pillars hold up the ceiling.

Five barrels in a room, secret door leads to the Dungeon of Confusion.

Dungeon of Confusion

Easy to get lost, map is incomplete.

Flame keep area

Broken walls, broken buildings. Two tents and a burned out campfire. Where are the adventurers ?

Flame Keep interior

Flame keep basement storage

stone stairs lead down into the room. pillars hold up the ceiling. Pits for last ditch defense.  Three open treasure chests.

The magic blue area, blocks entry. Six tables, a clean water well, and 3 unopened treasure chests.

Flame keep storage

stone steps leading into the room. Ten pillars, 13 barrels, wood debris. A table with what appears to be usefule items; a mace and 4 bottles. Three unopened urns. Rock piles.

Ice Cave

Entrance lower left. Inspection of the cliffs by a character with mining skills like a dwarf will notice they look artificial. Some brush that can live in ice conditions, rock debris, sand areas, a broken bridge across the ice filled river. Water flow is lower right to upper left. Two cold water sharks have just arrived, looking for food.

A broken small keep at the top of the map.

Lava river

Entrance upper right. Looks like a stone bridge crossed the lava flow at one time. Three broken keeps.

Wood and rock debris. No sign of treasure.

That is it for now.

Edit. Fixed some typos.

My condolences.

That looks wonderful.

Before I started Crestar, I noticed the store players in my area would argue with the DM on what was in a published world, and what wasn't. So I decided to use my own.

I would expect that. While I haven't lived in either one, it seems to me that the tile wouldn't hold onto the snow as well as the thatched roof. I could be wrong though.

Here in the U.S. some locations have very slanted roofs because they get snow every winter. But other places may get snow only every 5 or so years. Those roofs aren't slanted much. Some places may get snow every 5 to 10 years. so they don't worry aobut it. They do get lots of rain, particularly in hurricane zones.
