[QUOTE="Daztur, post: 5880076, member: 55680"] The map has been updated. Here's the PDF of the new compilation (just the beginning, a lot more work to do): [url]https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6z-iUIH4P8aTm8wNGFWZkZ5em8/edit[/url] How does the format look? I'll be adding in more art and region maps but you can see the basic structure here. [b]The Long Graves[/b] Hex 34.01 Note: argyria is a thing that exists. Apparently if you eat too much silver you turn into a smurf. I got the idea of using it from [url=http://retiredadventurer.blogspot.com/]The Retired Adventurer[/url] but all of the details here are mine. Although most of the silver of the Titan’s Skull (33.00) has been long since mined out, enough remains that the dwarves of the mountain are always in the market for slaves to continue mining it. The slaves in the mines live, breathe and even drink silver for a residue of silver exists in the dwarven reservoirs. Dwarves are able to pass this silver but it accumulates in human and orcish skin, turning it an ashen blue. The dwarves find this useful as it allows them to easily identify escaped slaves, while the humans and orcs in question tend to not be so fond of their new coloration. The slaves, who own nothing in life, receive the silver of their bodies they die. Many of them compose wills that dedicate their silver to their funerals so there is a surprisingly fine slave graveyard in a valley to the east of the Titan’s Skulls known as the Long Graves where many slaves are buried with tombstones paid for by their silver-laden ashes. Some years ago, one orc known as the Baker had a mining accident in which he lost both of his legs. After some legal wrangling, the Baker was able to receive enough silver from his legs to buy his freedom and, as he would not have been welcome in his homeland in his crippled state, he claimed guest right among the dwarves and has lived in the Titan’s Skull ever since. The dwarves despise his presence but he is always careful to never break the letter of dwarven law and has carved out a niche for himself by trading the fingers (and various other appendages) of slaves for various favors. Hooks: -Any interesting tombs among the Long Graves? -What else do slaves dedicate their bodily silver to in their wills besides funerals? -What exactly are the dwarven laws about guest right anyway? -Why is the Baker called that and how does he convince so many slaves to sell him their silver-laden fingers? -Any undead? [b]The Ruined Hut[/b] 44.01 Before settling into his current location (41.02), Crossbow Henry built a trap laden hut here in an even more remote location. It is now much the worse for wear and many of its traps are no longer functional, but it still contains a few nasty surprises for unwary travelers and a few strange messages carved into its walls. The main reason (aside from all of the fog) that lead Crossbow Henry to leave this structure are the many spider monkeys that come down from their mountains. Their incessant barking preyed on his nerves and they seemed almost supernaturally proficient at stealing his food without setting off any of his traps. At least most of the time, a few monkeys were caught and their skeletons still twitch in the trees surrounding the hut and occasionally a new monkey is caught and their screams may confuse travelers in this bleak stretch of rocky moorland. Hooks: -What's been carved into the walls? -Any undead spider monkeys? [/QUOTE]
