Forest Shrine Festival [43x73]
🕑 Added 2020-12-10 17:57:18 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
We wanted to get back to some Asian themed maps as we hadn't made one since the Steamy Japanese Bathhouse in July last year! Crazy how quickly that time passed by.
So, grab some sake and welcome to the local forest shrine! Nestled on the hilltop amongst the trees and streams, nature and its spirits abound in this sacred space. Lucky for you they're currently holding a festival! Whether your party is welcome or not, we'll leave that up to you...
This made was made in collaboration with Ori the Cartographer who makes awesome battlemaps, so go check out her Patreon.
And also in collaboration with The Griffon's Saddlebag who has provided two magic items to suit the theme. Patrons can get those here. The Windrazor and the Nightstalkers Armor of the Northeastern Wind pair very nicely with the Lone Samurai variation, you can rob them from his fallen body. ;)
Oh and for those who haven't seen it yet, we've got a new contest. Go check it out and take part!

We might have gone a bit over the top with the size of this map and number of variations and had to split this pack into 4 parts.

Is there a version of that kirin by itself?

There'll be a map coming in a week or two with a Christmas variation. ;)

Super looking forward to it! If you are doing a First Nations themed one, I'd love to see something maybe like a Salish loghouse with totem poles, or maybe something along the lines of Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump, which could be good for hitting the Mongolian / Turkic plains too if you take the cliff face off in certain variations??
Paul
Amazing stuff! Hopefully it's not too late, how about making a "Christmas themed" battlemap for Christmas? Say for example Santa's northpole and workshop?
Cze and Peku
I was brainstorming different world cultures and seeing what gaps we have. I don't think we've done anything Native American or African (except the Pharaoh map) yet. Both of which would be great to explore. We've got something Middle-Eastern coming up and we're planning an Indian themed map too.
Lucas Becker
I love the stress on maps from different cultures! Would you ever consider doing an African themed one? I have a setting in my campaign world that's basically a bunch of Afro-fantasy tropes.
Rachael Cross
Yesss keep these Asian themed ones coming!!
Amazing work, I didn't know that I needed to build this envrironment in my game but now I do.
Isaiah Mossuto
Omg its the tree spirit babies from princess mononoke!
Map House
Wow, look at the "realism" of these maps. Amazing colors, textures and details!
Andrew Prostko
Beautiful. Are you planning to do an interior of this shrine by chance?

It's incredible, Perfect as the entrance to the bathhouse
AyuVince
Brilliant! I have an Asian-inspired region in my D&D world and this is perfect. More non-European architecture, please! Something Egyptian or Mesopotamian would be cool.
I have nothing BUT contempt for this court
awesome goes great with the tree dungeon!
Kackman
Amazing as always.
Albert Nakano
Wow, Beautiful! Your previous Steamy Japanese Bathhouse was also fantastic. Are you still living in Japan?
This is... stellar. Wow. One of your best.
