Wolf Hunter

This heavy silver-headed axe is of cumbersome design with the wolf’s head behind the blade. It is an axe +2, +3 vs Shapeshifters, +4 vs Lycanthropes. Once per night it can cast light with a soft white glow from the silver axe head.

Tonight’s Band of Blades game wasn’t going to happen and so I sent something about rival thieves’ guilds at war. I posted three Dyson Logos maps and we chose this one: We decided the city’s big money-maker is the polishing, charging and activation of Ioun Stones in the 3 arcane-industrial castles. Each castle is held by a different faction who, all together, sell the Ioun Stones through a…

GraniteSpire by Dyson Logos

GraniteSpire is a coastal city west of the Hill Islands, and a regular point of trade for ships heading to and from the Hill Islands. The entire city is built up on a granite plateau that lurches sixty to eighty feet out of the sea. There are two ways to access the spire – there is a lowland port on the east coast of the spire with a tunnel that leads up onto the plateau, and there are a pair of bridges from the mainland that lead in turn to the “Stepping Fort” and then to the spire proper.

Slightly to the south of the Stepping Fort island is another sloped island with a fortified presence that houses the main fishing depots of the city.

Granitespire is also home to one of the stranger mercantile guilds of my campaign – the Monkeys of Granitespire who dominate the local silver trade.

GraniteSpire was drawn in a single draft using a Micron 01 in my sketchbook. For some ridiculous reason I ended up cramming all this into 2/3 (at most) of the page, leaving large blank areas of ocean around the city map. This made the piece fairly small overall, and the version here has been blown up quite a bit and attempts have been made to correct for the small size of the original.

Jando’s Rock – The ruins of Hejmarko by Dyson Logos

I originally posted a map of the settlement at Jando’s Arch (officially the town of Hejmarko) back in December of 2015, and several comments across the various media sources commented on how the arch wouldn’t last long because of the river flowing across to the waterfall. Thus, I redrew it during Mapvember, this time following the collapse of the arch.

Hejmarko was built on a natural arch jutting into the Egret Sea. Since the last time the map of the town was posted, the waterfall from the Feino river has destabilized the arch and it finally collapsed into the sea, leaving the main fortress of Heijmarko (Jando’s Keep) isolated with some of the remaining town buildings and homes.

Today the town buildings are almost all abandoned – a few people eke out a living, climbing their way up and down the spire to fish in the Egret Sea. More interesting to most adventurers, however, is that a warrior of the now-extinct Order of Ebon Huntsmen has set up home in Jando’s Keep, keeping his two griffon mounts on the roof of the tower. He has put out word that he’s seeking any other remaining members of the Order to gather at Hejmarko in order to begin operating as a mercenary company. Few trust the idea of the Order coming back together as they used to serve an active and evil warrior-lich… either shutting down the reviving order or infiltrating it are high priorities for a few organizations in the Kingdoms.
