Hey Everyone!

Finally back from Paris, very interesting city with great architecture and great food.

Also, as an Italian, was shocked to find out that the coffee there is very good, just had to ask for "Ristretto" as usually in Italy we have really short coffees.

Now back on the mapping side of things next one is going to be Illmarrow Castle.

I would say that lady Illmarrow is one of the most powerful entities in the setting and the maps will need to do her justice.

The idea is to have the Bloodsails city/docks as the entry point to the castle, below on the sea level while the castle is high up in the crags.

From there a massive bridge leads to the castle, which helps with the "disconnected from outside world" feeling tha Lady Illmarrow has.

Then the castle proper where PCs will get a hint that Lady Illmarrow is in fact Erandis Vol. Very gothic mixed with elvish aestethic (will concot something up, could also use french gothic as an inspiration). The Castle will be 3-4 Floors with the top floor being the location of Erandis Phylacetry and final battle stage if you happen to fight her.

SO those are my ideas, i want it to have a sort of "WoW raid" feeling as Erandis Vol can easily be a Final Boss in a Campaign and deservers a grandiose place.

Let me know if you like it!

I absolutely love this idea. Dynamic maps are so cool. I can't wait to see the finished set. The lair of Genderbent Vecna baby lets gooooo

Illmarrow is in all likelihood going to be the final boss of my first ever Eberron game, very excited for this

Love this idea and something really missing

Luke Robinson

This sounds very cool, but could you also include a version without the phylactery? One of the important parts of Erandis' story is that she doesn't know where or what her phylactery is

Yes please! I’m 10 sessions into a campaign with Illmarrow lined up as the BBEG. This would be perfect.

Sounds amazing. Very ambitious. Giving me Castle Ravenloft vibes.

Any projected timeframe for the 16 maps? Understand if it is too early! Ristretto - Northern Italy is famous for the best espresso; Southern Italy not so much... black tar in a cup. ;-)
