The Islands of Ferosia - Regional Map
🕑 Added 2020-04-30 12:12:29 +0000 UTC"To my Lord Garon,
The following is my report regarding the worrying state of affairs upon the islands of Ferosia in this, the year 356AR.
As I am sure you are aware, the archipelago lies astride the major shipping routes from our own sainted kingdom to the desert realms of Ahrad. The Port of Artemia (being the only speck of what you might call civilization on the islands) functions as a waystation for travellers, traders and adventurers alike.
A rugged archipelago, Ferosia is dominated by untamed jungle and swampland, that is full of dangerous creatures and ancient magics that stalk the wilderness. Ready to devour anything that crosses their path. Not to mention the savage lizardfolk tribes and numerous orc warbands.
For those that brave it’s interiors and survive however, the islands conceal the remains of many ‘great’ cultures that have called this land home through the centuries, their treasures ripe for plunder.
Indeed such prizes have not gone unnoticed by certain ‘mercenary companies’ (and others of a less than savoury nature). Such bands have increased their presence across the islands considerably over the last few years, contributing to a growing sense of lawlessness.
It will come as no surprise then that pirate activity has been reported throughout the surrounding waters and indeed it is this fact that concerns me most. More than a dozen merchant ships have been reported lost without trace in the past two months alone.
The nature and number of these vagabonds is yet to be ascertained but the impact upon the prosperity of our kingdom, not to mention my lord own business interests, can not be overstated, should ships no longer be able to travel these waters safely.
It is therefore my humble recommendation, that my lord send able men so that we may seek a resolution to this growing threat.
I shall await your response at the Leaky Hull Tavern in Artemia.
Your loyal servant,
Sir Lionel Durnum"

Hi guys!
I hope you are all safe and well!
First things first, thank you so much for all the feedback that you offered on our Discord channel with this map. It's gone through several iterations but I think its come out nicely.
The idea behind this one is that it ties many of the more recent map together into a setting for a pirate themed campaign. Noteably, Port Artemia, the Grand Library, the Temple of the Unconquered and the Old Whaling Station.
I hope you like it and I am keen to take your suggestions on what our next theme could be.
All feeback welcome as usual.
