Brimstone Hold Exterior Map Pack!

Added 2023-10-29 14:40:22 +0000 UTC

The download URL for the map files can be found in a following "Tier Rewards" post specific to your tier, or on the Pinned post on the front page of the Patreon.

This is my interpretation of Brimstone Hold, an Efreet stronghold that serves as the location for one of the heists from the module, Keys from the Golden Vault.

Brimstone Hold is located below ground, perhaps beneath a volcano or within a large mountain, and features a massive carved head of an Effret gazing over the blackstone fortress, lava spewing from its open mouth into a lake of lava and fire below.

Heat resistant boats (and equipment) traverse the lake from other locations, while slaves are kept for manual labor cutting and carving stones, hauling goods and serving the locals.

I've added several details that are mentioned, but omitted from the included map:

1. Rocks and mining equipment, plus a small camp, in the western lower yard, where duergar slaves break and shape blackrock into usable square blocks.

2. Populated all of the outbuildings with furniture appropriate to their description.

3. Added some large black rocks amidst the eastern side of the keep, where a Red Dragon patrols, both to give it interesting places to perch and watch, but also to provide some elements of cover for a visiting/infiltrating party.

If you aren't running KftGV, this would make a great demonic or devilish fortress for your own homebrew and can hopefully inspire many stories!

I will be adding the lower level the same download, when it is complete, and will make a post about that one separately.

I hope you enjoy it!
