🗺️ New Map Release – Our descent into Khaz Narak Begins!
🕑 Added 2025-09-18 17:00:15 +0000 UTCGreetings travelers,
We’re now in Week 3 of this month’s theme: Dwarven Strongholds, and I’m especially excited about today’s release. So far this month we’ve explored a dwarven gatehouse, a dwarven shrine, and even a port city carved into the mountain rock. But today, we take our first steps into a true dwarven hold—Khaz Narak, home of the Ironmantle Clan
This release includes the first two levels of the mountain stronghold (five levels total are planned).
Rewards

⚔️ The Entrance Hall - 12 Variants
A vast, fortified passage that serves as the hold’s gateway to the outside world. Strong walls, sturdy gates, and vigilant guards ensure no unwelcome guests enter unchallenged. A handful of trusted human traders are allowed this far—but no deeper.
🏘️ The Commons - 11 Variants
Something I feel is often overlooked in fantasy maps—where do the inhabitants actually live? The Commons is the beating heart of Khaz Narak: rows of living quarters, a bustling market, a hearty tavern, a halls of records, and even access to a subterranean lake. This level is full of daily life and rich roleplay opportunities for your players.
And this is just the beginning! Still to come are:
🔨 The Grand Forge & Mines
👑 The Palace Level
🕯️ The Sealed Vaults
Stay tuned for more—Khaz Narak will be one of the most ambitious dungeons we’ve ever mapped.
If you’re not yet a patron, now’s the perfect time to join. You’ll get instant access to all the maps in this dwarven series (and our full archive of hundreds of fantasy maps). And keep an eye out—we’re also preparing a Dwarven Adventure Trilogy, a connected set of adventures that will use these maps (and more!) to bring your dwarves to life at the table.

I definitely want to make a dungeon crawl with this in mind. Like unearthing ancient underground ruins.

they should be in two separate folders/ links. Which rewards page are you looking at? I might have missed a link

The downloads only contain the first level (The Entrance Hall). The second level (The Common) seems to be missing.
