5. Temple
6. [7] Individual Homes
7. Potential PC Headquarters (if they base out of here)
8. Granary
9. Farmhouse
10. North and West Outpost Gates
Extending the environment of the first map, this trading outpost map provides even more options for a variety of social and combat encounters, as well as the background for countless story elements, whether it be liberating the village from the attacks of bandits to dealing with internal political issues to collecting bounties set by the Outpost Captain to making deliveries for one (or more) of the businesses.
Each building is carefully detailed and provides options to use the outpost as a:
1. Base of Operations -- Players may arrive here and spend several sessions finding, accepting and completing quests.
2. Character Background Location - One of your PC's may be from this town and have to return to deal with some family or local issue.
3. Starting Location - Your players may need somewhere to begin your adventure, meeting in the tavern located here and spending several sessions basing out of the outpost before moving on to the rest of your world.
The Map Pack contains:
1st Floor Map of the Merchant Outpost
2nd Floor Map of the Merchant Outpost
Map Legend
Rooftop Assets
Hawk Symbol Asset (symbol of the outpost)
A brief description of the various buildings (per the legend) are:
1. Outpost Tavern - Part of the outpost tavern (fully pictured in the previous map) is represented here, as there is a bit of overlap between the two maps. This tavern provides many rooms and a great source of entertainment for those passing through.
2. Personal Residence - One of the local families have a home here.
3. General Store - The primary store in town, this fine establishment offers a great many items, due to the amount of trade that comes through the outpost from other parts of the world.
4. Communal Dwelling - This large building supports several individual homes and many families, often living together within the safety of the outpost's walls.
5. Personal Residence & Farmer - This personal residence keeps cows and some other livestock within the walls, providing butter, milk and other fresh goods.
6. Personal Residence - One of the local families have a home here.
7. Outpost Jail - This squat building features a handful of cells, guard post and a private quarters for a sheriff or guard captain.
8. Government Building - This large stone structure is one of the original parts of the outpost, belonging to a time when it was still active in military activities. It has two stories and contains housing for most of the soldiers, officers and outpost leader.
9. Personal Residence - One of the local families have a home here.
10. Personal Residence - One of the local families have a home here.
11. Small Compound - This building could be used as a headquarters for players basing out of the outpost, or for a rival mercenary/adventuring outfit.
12. Temple - This old stone temple provides sanctuary to the poor and spiritual guidance to those in need.
13. Northeast Gatehouse - This 2-story gatehouse overlooks a stone bridge crossing the river and guarding against the north.

15. Farmhouse - This farmhouse contains one of the many farming families that live outside the walls of this outpost.
