Doran’s Skyrealm

Doran’s skyrealm is a small well-maintained floating island home to the ranger Doran and his entourage. The skyrealm wanders over Blackstream Vale east of the Blue City, seemingly constrained by the valley walls even though it remains a thousand feet above them. Doran “acquired” the realm after ousting the previous inhabitant, the half-giant blackguard Jor’un. With the assistance of his friend and companion Ferreen the druid, they have made the realm mostly self-sufficient through goodberries and control of the local rainfall.

The skyrealm itself is made of three flating “islands”. The primary island where the keep is and two subsidiary islands, the smaller of which used to be used to store water.

The main structure of the skyrealm is the “keep” (which will be detailed in our next map) that looms over the docking platform cut into the side of the island. On the tallest hill opposite the keep are a pair of concentric stone circles from distant lands that were flown up to the island and erected by Jereen. Down the hill from the stone circle is a pond where rainwater is collected (although most of the time there is at least one person on the island who can create water magically). Finally, down the hill south of the keep is a small garden where berry bushes are grown.

But no one has seen Doran for a fortnight, and a strange metal vehicle that appeared to be made from sections of several older flying warships was docked at the entrance way for a few days and then disappeared in the night. Have the ranger and his companions left on a mission of some kind? Or perhaps succumbed to foul play? And who or what was on that patched-together warship? And if the curiosity isn’t enough to gather the attention of adventurers, the potential loot to be found within an adventuring group’s home base is sure to draw treasure hunters.

The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 7,200 x 10,800 pixels (24 x 36 squares). To use this with a VTT you would need to resize the squares to either 70 pixels (for 5′ squares) or 140 pixels (for the recommended 10′ squares that match the description) – so resizing it to either 1,680 x 2,520 or 3,360 x 5,040, respectively.

Doran’s Skyrealm – The Keep

Doran’s skyrealm is a small, well-maintained floating island home to Doran the ranger and his entourage. The skyrealm wanders over Blackstream Vale east of the Blue City, seemingly constrained by the valley walls even though it remains a thousand feet above them. This map focuses on the only structure on the island, the keep that used to be home to the half-giant blackguard Jor’un.

The keep itself is almost entirely made of stone with wooden roofs that are shingled with slate. The third story is the only one with wooden floors. As the home of a half-giant, the structure itself features wide doorways and high ceilings. The stairs are a little awkward to climb as each step rises a full 18 inches above the previous one, making climbing up awkward and climbing down feel precarious. Access to the keep is via either the front door on the East side of the building, or by coming up the stairs on the northeast corner from the sublevels where the airship docking and storage areas are.

The main floor of the keep contains the entry hall, a small barracks, a sitting room with a harpsichord, a kitchen, and a dining hall. The second floor contains the “table room,” which has a magical mapping table that tracks the positions of specific charted skyrealms, a meeting room, and the parapets that look westwards. Finally, the small top floor contains the abandoned sleeping chambers of Doran and Ferreen.

The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 7,200 x 10,800 pixels (24 x 36 squares). To use this with a VTT you would need to resize the squares to either 70 pixels (for 5′ squares) or 140 pixels (for the recommended 10′ squares that match the description) – so resizing it to either 1,680 x 2,520 or 3,360 x 5,040, respectively.
