The Water Temple
🕑 Added 2021-05-28 04:47:11 +0000 UTCThe Water Temple, An ancient puzzle locks the submerged entrance to an underground temple. The party pulls a series of levers to block the river feeding the lake above, and eventually have access. But- that damn doesn't look all too reliable.
Across the nations of the world it denoted that many, even most civilisations build along the sea, for trade and food. As a cartographer I can say without doubt over the ages the seas have crept closer and closer. Leads one to wonder, What history of the ancient world sleeps under the tide, What volumes could we fill if only we had gills.

Note: Ancient temple structures are unreliable. Especially puzzles, And double so for moving parts.
The map comes in ten phases; the first few are ideally done out of combat allowing the players to explore and use the levers to dam the water above. Then from phase 6 on the dam begins to burst. At this point the players have a choice where to go, into the cave below the lake or away from the wall over water crashing over the empty lake. This map is inspired by the Wonderful movie Atlantis: Lost Empire, and the infamous Zelda dungeon from which the map gets its name.
