ShadeStone Castle - December 2024

Added 2024-12-01 07:20:00 +0000 UTC

Nestled in the base of a caldera, far from the grasp of civil laws, sits the ShadeStone Castle. Its twisted spires rise high above black basalt walls. Reachable only by way of a drawbridge, the stronghold is nearly impenetrable. The keep dwarfs all the other towers, brooding over the courtyard like a poised executioner. To simply gaze upon the shadowy castle from afar strikes fear in the hearts of wary adventurers. It is a forbidden site, a dark realm unto itself, home to scoundrels, villainous criminals, exiled casters and worse. It is a kingdom of corruption, a sanctuary for the lawless, a refuge for those not welcomed elsewhere. -Theophoclese, Sage of the Illuminated Library

The ShadeStone Castle is a generic castle scenario set inspired by one of tabletop role playing’s most beloved modules. There are two main mega maps that feature the overhead roof view of the castle grounds. There is an exterior wall, a massive central keep, 4 huge towers, the courtyard and raised surrounding platforms. The Interior 1st-Floor map shows the details of the ground floor layout of all the structures. [Please note that the mega maps have also been broken down into smaller maps, to retain resolution.] Examples of the entire set, at each tier, can be seen below. I want everyone to be able to use my maps, so I will post free versions each week this month. Long Live D&D!
