Hey everyone!

This is the 4th and final (maybe we could do the roots?) part of our Yggdrasil series. Get the rest here:

The Village

The Trunk

The Branch

This is where we image the top path in The Trunk map eventually leading to. The path winds up around the interior of the trunk, out through a split in the bark and then winding up through the branches, through special made staircases it eventually reaches this clearing in the centre of the tree crown. The inner branches are twisted together and using the magic in the tree sap a portal is opened to other worlds.

We hoped you like this series! If you have some ideas for multi-map series like this, please let us know in the comments or on Discord! :)

Map Requests

We have two requests from y'all! 

1. We're going to make a series of special maps for folks who have been supporting us a long time. We still have patrons with us from 2019 which just so lovely! And we want to reward your support. :) So everyone who has been with us for 12 months, 24 months, etc. will get a special pack of maps emailed to them with some other free goodies. So give us some ideas for what you'd want from those maps!

2. We're going to continue our series of city centres like we did with the recent Elven City Centre. Goblin is coming out next week. But please join us on the Discord and send over refs for what you imagine an Ork, Warforged, Kenku, etc. city centre would look like! Everyone has their own headcannon for this stuff and the more refs we get for it the better they'll be. Here's a little preview of the Goblin City Centre:

I am HUGE fan of your air ships. They're so good. I was wondering if you'd consider doing another big ship like the crystal veil? Even something a bit smaller that an adventuring party could own as a mobile home base. Anyway, that's my suggestion! Thanks for being great

I'm not saying Etrian-esque root dungeon, but. . . Im not NOT saying that. On an unrelated note, I've noticed you don't really have too many desert maps, so my primary suggestion is like, "Path to the valley of kings" sort of multimap deal.

Totally support the idea of some extra maps for long time supporters. Just wondering if they might become available otherwise later? I only joined a few days ago and an wondering if I might be able to access them once I get to a similar level or as a seperate purchase!

If I remember correctly, I think (like a lot of people) I joined in 2020, when I was shifting to running online. I've since gone back to running mostly in person, and, to be honest, I don't have much practical use for your maps. I support you anyway because your maps are so beautiful and I'm so impressed with the work you do. So, thank you. If pressed to make a theme suggestion, maybe a really gross and organic-feeling dungeon, just because something like that is on my mind for a colony of mindflayers in an upcoming game.

Man, this looks awesome! (Although I was secretly hoping for a throne room since the big tree:tm: in my world also serves as a fey court^^"

I can highly recommend checking out Ithivellia from Borough Bound if that's what you need! It sounds like a perfect match! https://www.patreon.com/boroughbound/posts?filters[tag]=Ithivellia

DEFINITELY do the roots! Would be so epic!

Longtime patron here-- Publishing a bunch of smaller drag-and-drop assets would be my biggest wish. Bits of furniture, trees, bric-a-brac, etc, from your maps. I got so much use out of your mansion set that my players began to get confused because they kept seeing stuff from that one fancy house they visited basically everywhere lol. I had to play it off like, "Oh yes.... Er..... That was just a very popular mass-produced vase and purple flowers just happen to look very good in it! 😳"

Unwated Arcana

I second the drag-and-drop furniture idea. I've had so much use of the bits we got with the city streets (i think it was) set. I even recently used it to redecorate the interior of the Riverwood Toll Castle as a player home :) As for what I'd like to see, a lonely mountain watchpost/borderfort, a la the “light the beacons” scene in Lord of the Rings, with a little shack for the garrison (sized for maybe five or six soldiers) and a pit to light a beacon so as to warn home. Why? So imagine being a party sent to bring supplies to one of these places only to find the soldiers slaughtered and the material needed to light the beacon stolen or ruined (and from that vantage point you can see the invasion force marching up the valley with no way to warn home). Or maybe the start of a campaign is set around manning such a fort, only for the party to find themselves responsible for stopping the goblin invasion. Beyond that we've had a lot of elven ruins, how about some blocky dwarven ruins, buildings or towns? I know there was the boroughbound city but those maps can been too big and a library-city is little too specfic for generic re-use. Oh and if you wanted to adapt the above to a multi map series I'd suggest a mountain pass rife with Peryton nests, a warren of caves where the enemy have built a base or perhaps some local cobolds live that might have fallen under they sway, and a larger border fort with interiors. Enough all together to build a level 1 to 3 adventure around. And before you ask, yes, I have been planning my next campaign around this.

For milestone rewards I think it would be most poetic to branch off (if you'll exist the pun) of previously completed map sets. Bonus expansion material of a sort, that all relates to the content the milestone patrons already have.

The idea is that they'll get sent out when you hit those milestones, so when you get to 12 months of being a patron it'd automatically be sent to you. :) And then later, 24 months, 36 months, etc.

Have you seen our Fey Village map? Because that has thrones on a tree stump too. :)

Hello - I second both of these ideas. All of your maps are gorgeous and work so well as destinations. They are particularly useful when they can be combined with other maps: and entrance to a tomb, and a tomb for example. I'd love to see suites of maps that can be put together for a whole adventure or chapter of an adventure. More dwarven stuff would be cool. Perhaps more underdark. Love everything you do!
