Release the Kraken on Aurelon's Keep! (Patreon)

Hey hey! Another month with over $500 funding means a second Krakening! Our second release this month goes back to the very early days of the Patreon campaign – Aurelon’s Keep.

A victim of a fairly recent power struggle, Aurelon’s Keep was besieged by a small attacking force and rapidly conquered with the assistance of a few earth elementals who built up the ramp leading to the destroyed wall and completely bypassing the outer bailey and main gates.

Today it is home to a few poor clans of goblins and their ilk who base hunting and gathering operations from the old wooden buildings of the keep while keeping away from the old stone keep itself that they believe to be haunted.

The keep map itself is based on one I started a campaign with back when the Rules Cyclopedia was released (I distinctly remember bringing my brand new copy of the book to the University gaming club with the original version of this map in the inside cover to launch the campaign). This map shows its age in that it still has “pencil-thin” walls for the wooden building walls, something I try to avoid when drawing maps these days.

For this commercial-use re-release of the map, I cleaned up the scan a little bit and painstakingly added a grid for those who prefer them on their maps. You can download it for your free personal or commercial use from the blog at https://rpgcharacters.wordpress.com/2017/09/30/release-the-kraken-on-aurelons-keep/
