Sarissa Square Market
🕑 Added 2025-09-26 18:37:30 +0000 UTCSarissa Square is an arcade market with a variety of shops, vendor stalls and a tavern. It's a place where your players can have a drink, get pickpocketed, browse a few shops and steal, like, 1gp worth of rope or something despite the fact that they drag a giant wagon full of cash around wherever they go.
Some of you may be asking, "Is this a mall?" Well, it isn't not a mall. But it's less of a mall than another map I drew and that one was based on a real design that was almost constructed in Venice in the 1500s. Also, there's a place called the Chester Rows in Cheshire, England, which is pretty much just a shopping mall that dates back to the middle ages. So, look, if Middle Ages Italy and England can have malls, Waterdeep can have a mall. Or, excuse me, an "arcade market."
By the way, this was inspired by Pike Place Market in Seattle. The part of it the map is based on is fairly new, so I had to medieval the hell out of it, but I think I got the basic design of the place in there. Also, they do have a bar in there, so the tavern is accurate.
Next up, I'll be drawing an orcish fortress that walls off a mountain pass. I've actually been meaning to draw a fortress in a mountain pass for years now and I can't believe I actually haven't drawn one yet. That madness is about to end. After that, I've got one or two more maps to draw and then we can get started on the next megaproject: a complete map of the Vatican. Because screw it, let's draw a whole country. Are you in? I hope so, because this is happening.

Literally perfect as a customs house or small city port for my Greco-Roman themed campaign. Complete with a Roman "popina". Thank you!
