The Water. Several caves with waterfalls.

Cave of Tunnels. How the Orcs and Kobolds get around without being spotted by the half-elf patrols.

The Ghost Tunnel appears and disappears. The humanoids avoid it.

Traraise Caves

Ground level

1) entrance has two portcullis and several traps.

2) redoubt) walls and towers as a last ditch defense, ballistae on the walls. Water feature in front of one wall. Spiral stairs that go to upper level and the basement.

3) barracks with fireplaces, beds.

4) barracks with storage, fireplaces, beds, dining table. This group can rush to the entrance to block attacks.

5) A well kept kitchen with a variety of foods.

6) Dining area. No more than one-third of all defenders are here at any one time. Up and down spiral stairs.

Some passageways have ladders that can be pulled up to block attackers.

Upper level. basically the same as ground level, but with more ballistae, more defenders, more weapons and storage.

basement storage. Why are the jakes only down here ? Must be bad planning. So must the passageway to the storage area.

Danger Hills. Where Orcs and Kobolds live.

Kobold village. formerly a human town.

Orc village. Also formerly a human town.

Adventurer house 5) upstairs bedroom Three chairs, a rug, a bed. Outhouse out back.

Adventurer house 5) basement. 4 skeletons under the control of the spell caster in the group. A storage cabinet. Two chairs and a rug.

Adventurer house 5) sub-basement. Entrance room: tables, chairs, work bench to repair items. Spiral stairs comes down onto a regular stairway.

Melee equipment room is storage for various weapons and shields. Changing room, for those sweaty clothes brought on by exercise. Archery storage and range. Bows, arrows, crossbows and quarrels. Three targets.

Yes, the compass seems off with the other floors, but the spiral stairs threw out the alignment with the regular basement and the ground floor.

The Haunted Mountains area

A hill fort, kobold and orc villages, and a set of caves. Mostly a wild area. Merchant caravans hire many guards of various levels to cope with attacks.

Rumors of human brigands were spread years ago, but half-elf patrols found their camp. From the looks of it, orc raiders had attacked and killed them all.

Large numbers of trees don't seem to grow well in these hills and mountains.

It is unknown if the light gray mountains, or the dark gray mountains, are the originals.

There are fish in the rivers, and it is claimed they are very tasty. But don't fish alone or in small groups.

The Maidar River goes to the River Watch to the southeast.

Western Hill Fort (16)

A hill fort of half-elves. There are humans, a few dwarf and elf travelers, and a few halfling merchants. But it is run by half-elves. A small group of homes are owned/rented by retired adventurers.

1 through 5 are retied adventurer homes. Number 5 has a basement and a sub-basement recreation area so they can 'keep in shape'.

To the northwest are two small farms growing potatoes and corn. The browning field is fallow for a season or two to recuperate.

Blu's Inn and Stables. Nice place, currently owned and run by the Greenfields' family of halflings. Blu died over a century prior.

Smithy, horses and oxen shoed. Sometimes cheerfully.

Storage buildings. Lock boxes and bins. Guarded, monthly or yearly rentals.

Shops: shoes, boots, armor, arrows and bows, swords and maces. Pikes by special order.

Handcrafted items. Various items like backpacks; satchels of leather; stone daggers, stone axes ( some monsters don't take damage from metal ); boots; adventurer clothes including jackets, hats, gloves, and knit caps. Coats and other winter gear must be ordered.

Barracks, where the various military who guard this town live.

North Keep. Once the only inhabitation of this fort. A plaque on the first level tells a bit about the early defenders, and their names of those lost to orc attacks.

Jolly Keep. Not exactly a place of laughter, but more to do with it being the second defense put up. North Keep inhabitants didn't feel so alone anymore.

Adventurer house 5) first floor. a nice place to sit and chat. 7 comfy chairs, rugs, and a fireplace. The owner, one Greg the Stout, doesn't keep food here as the other adventurers would eat it up. He goes over to the Inn and eats their food. Spiral stairs connects the bedroom to the basement and the sub-basement. Also has a trap door into the basement.

Last time I did symbols, years ago, I was very less than satisfied with my work. So, I don't make them. Last time I tried to use Blender, I got a severe headache.

Definately needs expanding. Although I can do something with just the two symbols.

I think it was too many chocolate covered peanuts.

I am old enough to remember when the two lakes didn't exist. Lake Belton was built in the 1950s, and Stillhouse Hollow Lake was built in the 1960s. People use them for recreation, but they are also flood control dams. There used to several small towns in the valley that is Lake Belton. They were moved out by US-190. From what my grandfather said, they were not happy about it.

And this jpg without the overlay layer. I don't see much difference, but it could be my settings.
