<blockquote data-quote="doctorhook" data-source="post: 4244860" data-attributes="member: 58401">Potential Spoilers!The maps in Keep on the Shadowfell are:- King's Road / Dungeon of Blood (Originally from FL: Fields of Ruin)
- Forest Cliff Lair / Dragondown Grotto (Originally from FL: Dragondown Grotto)
- Graveyard / Temple of Orcus (AFAIK, new for KotS.)Note that the maps appearing in KotS are not identical to the versions appearing in the Fantastic Locations series. For starters, none of the maps bear any of the &quot;start area/exit area/victory area&quot; dotted lines present on the original, nor do any of the maps bear any text or titles. (With the exception of copyright notices, of course.) Specific differences beyond these are noted below.- King's Road: No significant differences that I can see. Treed squares bear the small, white &quot;tree&quot; icon in each corner. Cliff squares are separated from the grid by a thick black line. KotS version appears slightly lighter coloured. Opposite &quot;Dungeon of Blood&quot;; originally opposite&nbsp; &quot;Keep of Fallen Kings II [Non-Legal]&quot;.
- Dungeon of Blood: No significant differences that I can see. Opposite &quot;King's Road&quot;; originally opposite &quot;Keep of Fallen Kings I&quot;.
- Forest Cliff Lair: Notably, the large area of blood rock present on the original is absent on the KotS version. Treed squares bear the small, white &quot;tree&quot; icon in each corner. KotS version appears slightly lighter coloured. Opposite &quot;Dragondown Grotto&quot;. (Can't say any more, because I don't own the original for comparison.) Oddly enough, the dotted lines marking &quot;Start Area(s) A&quot; on the original copy, while not present on the map included with the adventure, are visible in the encounter diagram on page 29. Hmm....
