🌊 October Week 1 Map Release – Saltmere Town, Astrid's General Store & the Sirendian Isles 🗺️
🕑 Added 2025-10-02 17:00:14 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
October’s first major release is here. As a quick reminder, I’ll be heading off on 👶 paternity leave in the second half of the month, so there’s no official theme this time around. Instead, I’m sharing a mix of maps I’ve been working on in the background over the last few months.
You might remember our recent adventure release, Snuffed Out—part of the Reclaiming the Light series. While that adventure largely centers on the 🏰 Last Light Lighthouse, the story begins in a small, windswept port called Saltmere, found deep within the Sirendian Isles (a region of our Fallen Kingdom setting).
Patreon Rewards
Initiate Mapmaker ($1) / Journeyman Surveyors ($3) / Master Cartographers ($5)
With that in mind, this release features three brand new maps:
The Sirendian Isles (Regional Map) 🏝️ - 2 Variants– A storm-wracked island chain where the “Penny Barons” (minor nobles who are little more than wealthy thugs 💰⚔️) rule through coin and cruelty.
Saltmere (Town Map) ⚓ 11 Variants – A bleak little salt-trading port under the watchful eye of Astrid Waveborn.
Astrid’s General Store & Parlour (Building Map) 13 Variants – The heart of her small empire, equal parts shop, bar, and seat of power.
I hope these maps help you bring the Isles to life in your own campaigns! ✨
Also, like I did with our recent release: The Ironhelm Mountains, I've include the heraldry I created for each of the major factions so you can use them in your own campaigns! I'll continue to do this moving forward for Journeyman Surveyors and above!
👉 If you’re not yet a Premium Patron, now’s a great time to sign up—you’ll get access to the full-resolution versions of these maps (and hundreds more). 🌟
And as always, I’d love to hear your thoughts 💡. Do you have ideas for future maps or regions you’d like to see explored? Drop them in the comments—I’ll be diving back into new projects after my leave, and your feedback helps shape what’s next.
Thanks as always for your support, and happy adventuring!
