New map is live on Patreon, link in bio! . The beg New map is live on Patreon, link in bio! . The beginning of the Dragon War was a terrible strike against the dwarves. Fire breathing dragon flew down from the skies, setting their cities afire. Domari, strongest of the dwarven kingdoms was able to fight off the dragons in the Domart Mountains. After their victory they continued to train dragon-slayers and sent reinforcements to the other dwarven kingdoms. After the initial strike many dwarves fled to their underground halls, but soon found them invested with drakes (wingless dragons) and wyrms (serpentine creatures). Trapped in their halls they suffered terrible losses. Outside the dragons and wyverns continued to bathe the dwarven cities in fire and hoards of dragonborn laid siege to their underground cities. Ballaer was the first of the dwarven kingdoms to fall in 1778 BP, followed by Hammarkin in 1733 BP and finally Gynardia in 1699 BP. Throughout the war the dwarves of Domari managed to fend off attacks from dragons and after the fall of Gynardia the dragon felt satisfied and ended the war. . By the end of the war the dragons were largely destroyed by the dwarven forces. Only some dragons and wyverns remained and became the creatures of legends, settling in the mountains they conquered. The dwarven kingdoms of Ballaer, Hammarkin and Gynardia were destroyed with their great tunnels collapsed and nothing left but the ruins of their once great cities. Dragonborn settled in these ruins and renamed them in their own language. The kingdom of Domari was a shadow of its former self and slowly recovered over the centuries. Today it still stand, but the war has left a scar on the kingdom and its people. They hate the dragons and dragonborn with great passion. . . . . . . #danielsmaps #map #maps #cartography #fantasy #fantasymap #fantasymaps #fantasycartography #rpg #rpgmap #rpgmaps #dnd #dndmap #dndmaps #worldmap #worldbuilding
The Howling Hound is about as old as Hofendal itse The Howling Hound is about as old as Hofendal itself. Aside from the church, it was the main place for people to meet each other. It was named after the owner's dog, who was known it town as the 'howling hound'. The dog turned out to be cursed, and when one day it attacked a patron, they turned into a werewolf. This was the beginning of an old werewolf plague. By now, most everyone has forgotten about it.⁠ .⁠ In the Howling Hound you'll find a good bunch of people any time during the day. When evening falls, the tavern quickly fills with people, and it's generally crowded until well after midnight.⁠ .⁠ On a second floor the Howling Hound provides a couple of rooms, ranging from simple, cheap rooms that offer a bed and not much else, to more luxurious rooms with fine furniture and even a fireplace.⁠ .⁠ After the War in the West, many of the 'Homeless Lords', that lost their possessions in The Swamps to the bandit-kings, have rented rooms in the various inns of Hofendal. In the Howling Hound two lords and their guards have settled until they can reclaim their possessions. The rest of their men are often seen hanging around the tavern and are known for causing problems over old feuds. The lords themselves aren't helping either, as they have an old matters that neither considers settled.⁠ .⁠ A sense of hostility fills the tavern whenever these lords and their men are present. Some of the men have even been seen scheming at the private tables.⁠ .⁠ It won't be long until someone makes a first move, and after that, things might get very bad, very quickly...⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #danielsmaps #map #maps #cartography #fantasy #fantasymap #fantasymaps #fantasycartography #rpg #rpgmap #rpgmaps #dnd #dndmap #dndmaps

An adventurer might find plenty of work, but perhaps they should think twice before they decide who to work for?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #danielsmaps #map #maps #cartography #fantasy #fantasymap #fantasymaps #fantasycartography #rpg #rpgmap #rpgmaps #dnd #dndmap #dndmaps

Tis is one of the variations for this week's Patre Tis is one of the variations for this week's Patreon map. Link in bio!⁠ .⁠ The Mines of Arazzator are located behind the City of Arazzator, carved out of the Arrae Mountains. The city served as the capital of the colony of Bennoth Ikk and its mines where among the most important of the island.⁠ .⁠ The ambitious project to carve out a fully operable mining complex was completed over the course of several decades. Eventually the mines consisted of a central plaza that included several shops and establishments where its citizens and workers could meet. It had dedicated halls for the miners, smiths and artisans as well as a residential area and a government palace, not unlike that of the Domar kings.⁠ .⁠ When the old mines were no longer resourceful enough the dwarves set out and discovered a new part of the mountain that was rich in their precious metals. For years they mined the mountains, until they unearthed something. Something that would bring about the end of the colony.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #danielsmaps #map #maps #cartography #fantasy #fantasymap #fantasymaps #fantasycartography #rpg #rpgmap #rpgmaps #dnd #dndmap #dndmaps
