Shadow Fortress Interior [42x59] (Patreon)

Well well well, we're finally here.

This map was suggested waaay back in August and for one reason or another it kept getting pushed back, but we came up with something and we're very happy with the result. Hopefully suitably cool and epic.

This map is over multiple floors, with a basement, exterior ground, interior ground, first floor and second floor. See the image below for how they connect up. We've also been thinking of making another sequel to this map for the subterranean levels leading down into the dungeons and the bedrock below. Let us know if that's something you'd like to see!

For those new around here, this is the sequel to our Shadow Fortress (which we'll be renaming to Shadow Fortress Bridge for clarity). We've tried to keep the style consistent with the original apart from the perspective change. The entrance at the top of the previous map leads into the bottom of this map, the castle proper. Just a reminder that we made a bunch of extra variations for the bridge here. There's a bridge version of the Astral and Sea Fort variations.

We decided to tie in all the chains and floating crystals from the last map and have them leading to a gigantic ensnared shadow colossus, kept captive in the old castle keep. Dagonzo has written up a new monster stat sheet for the shadow colossus. Although it's ensnared and cannot move it nonetheless projects its wrath across the map. All patrons can download that stat block here.

The variations are for the exterior portion, we've kept the interior rooms the same. We've also added a black and white version of the map in, just in case you want to go true-Shadowfell with its absence of any colour.

And most excitingly, to make your experience of assaulting the Shadow Fortress all the more epic, Michaël Ghelfi has written 10 rpg ambiences specifically for this map and has given us a selection to share with all our patrons. There's a post coming after this one where you can stream and download those!
