The lower level contains a small guard station at the bottom of the SE stairs, two holding chambers for female/male prisoners while waiting to cell assignment, two rows of cells (10 spacious two-person cells, and 20 single-occupant cells known as the "Fingers"), the crypt containing family members and future grave sites, a "prisoner persuasion room", guard barracks, water chamber, wine cellar near the NW stairs, food storage, vault, sewage outlet chamber and sewers running from the latrines in the castle above.

Ramparts
The Ramparts contains additional Guardhouse and defenses, raised walkways, lower platforms with hearths, tables, ammunition, infirmary beds and catapults, and upper platforms (towers) with ballistae.
Uses
The castle is very large and could be used for a variety of purposes:
> Starting location for the party (assigned to the local noble)
> Quest hub while traveling to a remote area
> Infiltration mission to assassinate evil lord, rescue prisoners, breach walls, etc...
> Rescue mission to save political or war prisoners.
> Combat mission to defend the noble from assassination or the castle from attack.
Tier Rewards will be sent out soon!
I hope you guys really enjoy these maps -- they were a lot of fun to make and I intentionally tried to make them realistic, basing them off the Harlech Castle in Wales (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/2a/e3/01/2ae301a76bfe245036d442ef610f4677.gif)
Let me know if you have any questions!
Best,
Jeff @ Morvold

Very low priority ask... I know this map is quite old, but is there any way we could get an export of all 4 levels with: - no background (png tiles) - lights / lighting disabled With that as the baseline, I can "ruin" it from there with overlays. If this is too much work (or if you planning a ruined version of this castle someday) I totally understand. I will not need this for many, many months (probably a year or more). I'm simply planning ahead. :-) With that said, I do think a ruined version of this castle would be grand, as would a mid-battle or other disaster version(s) (inferno, earthquake, etc.)

I hadn't intended it to be that particular Iron Keep, but, as you say, it seems to fit! =)

Was this meant to be indicative of the Iron Keep in the Forgotten Realms (located on Oman's Isle)? https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Iron_Keep In the book, it was a massive fortress, so it totally fits. Additionally, there was never an official map of it, so again: totally fits. So, even if this wasn't the intent, I'm using it for that. :-P However, it's been destroyed by the giants when they took over Oman's isle, A future "ruined' version of this would be fantastic..

In general, there are [2] places to find the downloads. One is to use the Google Spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sL2s5Xs39MEUDqD9h6S6KSCLvVE0JLl9tzJXm8GV_GQ/edit?usp=sharing), but some of the older maps aren't on there yet. The other is to go to the Master Map List (pinned post - https://www.patreon.com/posts/welcome-to-press-47340114) and find it there.

Hey Mitar. You are going to want to look for the posts that say "Tier Rewards for X", OR go to the Master Map List (pinned post at the front of the page), scroll down and find the URLs for Iron Keep, then click on the one that matches your Tier and you should be able to download the files!

Sorry but I am unable to see where I can download this pack from
Jeff Todd
Ah, I realize you didn't mean the DL links, but the actual link to the Castle Harlech. I believe I fixed that -- let me know if it doesn't work for you now!
Jeff Todd
Thanks! I will check it out in a few and then post back here.

The link to Harlech Castle in Wales seems to be broken.
