Heart of Darkling - The Weeping Outpost (Patreon)

In the late summer I introduced the Heart of Darkling series of maps. Unlike my other ongoing megadungeon (the Tekumel Undercity maps), the Heart of Darkling series is being released for commercial use as the maps are drawn. The goal of the project is to produce 20 maps that are all tied together by a single underground river and lake.

Those travelling along the underground passage of the Darkling River tend to avoid this small fortress. While several of the stops so far have included methods of getting to the surface, this fortress instead links up to the underdark proper.

The drow who guard this fortress call it “The Weeping Outpost” and while assignments here are important (as it guards a “back entrance” into the heart of their deeper territories), most dark elves have no love for the damp and cold place – too close to the surface to be comfortable and too far from the strange comforts they enjoy in the depths. They bide their time and hope to get relieved and travel home as quickly as possible.

Thanks to your support, the Weeping Outpost map is available for download from https://rpgcharacters.wordpress.com/2017/11/04/heart-of-darkling-the-weeping-outpost/
