The Principalities of Black Sphinx Bay (Patreon)

I was admiring the map of the Young Kingdoms in the Stormbringer RPG and I had just finished drawing the Malachite Coast map so I was inspired to work on a more traditional regional map – something I could use for my next campaign. Thus we have the Principalities of Black Sphinx Bay. This is honestly a lot bigger of an area than I usually map out before a campaign begins – I typically start smaller and slowly build up to something this size as the campaign progresses.

This whole region was once the Zorisz Empire –  a theocracratic monarchy that became nihilistic and obsessed with death and eventually consumed by their own obsession with watching their empire collapse. The remains of the empire have broken into a score of smaller countries, two of which still claim the title of the long-fallen empire, many of which are just a city-state clinging to the remains of Zorisz.

I’ve included versions of the map without tags for those who want to modify it for their own games. I’ve of course also included the standard scale that I use in regional maps of 1 Hex = 1 Handwave.
