The Blighted Lands: Mini-Setting Collaboration

Welcome to the Blighted Lands

Hello all! Very happy to be sharing with you the first regional map I've released in over 2+ years: The Blighted Lands. As you can see, I've taken a decidedly different approach to the stylization of this region--rather than a more traditional top-down, icon-heavy conception of the area (which I do still appreciate) I instead have gone with a means similar to the city map of Orbea that I created last year, though obviously much more stylized in regards to its treatment of scale. I quite like this more illustrative style and I hope you will as well!

This "mini-setting" was created in collaboration with our friends at Kelfecil's Tales and is so named as the accompanying PDF below is "miniature" in size (relative to an entire setting book that is), but is chock full of history, lore, adventure hooks, creatures, and rollable encounters. 

The Blighted Lands itself is a grimoire of a medieval-esque society that while once awash in favorable reputation and fortune, has long since seen itself fallen into squalor, bloodshed, and in the control of horrific powers. Vampiric overlords, justice-crazed rebels, and undead hordes abound. 

As a part of the regions conceptualization, I've gathered some "map suggestions" of previously released locations that would be fitting for this setting (as partially linked to in the PDF). If you've been around for a while or are a $3+ patron you do not need to re-download these battle maps, but for your convenience I've repackaged them in a handy ZIP below. 

Lastly, the interior of the PDF is lucky to feature the custom artwork of collaborator Dusky Cat, whose work you may recognize as well from the Mind Prison adventure. This artwork is also available as separate, isolated PNGs for you to use as tokens or simply as visual reference and inspiration.

Please enjoy! It's my hope that the fruit of this collaboration elevates this regional map well above its predecessors by providing you with meaningful resources for taking this map and using it for its intended purposes. If you have any thoughts as to the map itself, the usefulness of settings in our release structure, or the details of the setting please let us know!
