Brazenthrone - The Old Quarter - Ground Level (Patreon)

These are the ruins of Brazenthrone's Old Quarter. Known in its time as the "Temple Quarter," it was once the heart of the city, much as the Great Hall is today. The Quarter's downfall was brought about by a force more powerful than any other: geology. A tremendous earthquake, brought on by the shifting of magma deep underground, shattered one of the chamber's support columns and brought down huge sections of the chamber's ceiling.
After being declared irreparably unsafe by the Ministry of Engineering, the entire area, as well as the Old Palace to the north, were reluctantly abandoned and sealed off.
Today, the Old Quarter lies ruined, infested and partially flooded due to a leaking ventilation shaft. Going in there for any reason is a terrible idea, but your players will charge in headfirst because this is the kind of place where there's cash and prizes to be found. And besides, making prudent decisions is the DM's job.
I'm thinking this will be three levels in total. The to-do list for Brazenthrone is getting shorter and shorter! I can't wait to get it all into the one image and see how it looks!
There are VTT and print versions of this map, as well as an expanded annotated version, available to patrons.
ONE MORE THING: Patreon adds a bunch of metadata to image files (maybe to enable the scrolling zoom?) and the file size gets bloated by about 20%. If you're printing these, that's no problem, but if you're on a VTT and file size matters, that can be an issue, so I'm going to start uploading the images in .ZIP files to the public posts for those who need them. All the images on my website are free of the metadata as well, for the record.
