We actually ended up playing this map yesterday, six months after it featured in our most popular blog post! The Wraith omen was summoned, and we found the unexpected ruins of an ash-drowned village

Started working on a new, small, adventure. Maybe for the next Wyrd Morava. Vršún the Dragon and the Cliffs.

Map is my own and the Dragon the work of my partner.

Update on the map question, I’m just putting them next to each other in one larger regional map. I’ll take a look at some of the hex packs and then it’s time to soloroleplay a revolution
