Take a look at the DM notes for this map, I think they're pretty interesting. I didn't think I'd have too much to say about Delvers' Rest at first, but then it occurred to me that this would probably be the foulest-smelling place in the city. I wo...

My idea here was that this bridge is the border crossing between two (probably not super-friendly) countries, but it could also be used as a toll bridge or a fortress entrance. Of course, tell whatever story with it you like, but, personally, I th...

I was going to explain all the things that aren't accurate about this map, but it'd take forever and it doesn't matter anyway, so let me just give you the short version:
