Draft of Black Mire
This summer I posted the (contest-winning) Challenge of the Frog Idol. The majority of the adventure takes place in the Black Mire, a swamp traversed by old wooden causeways that has featured in my campaigns since I was 14 years old.
As I wrote up the Challenge of the Frog Idol, I drew a map of the Black Mire and keyed it up to the best of my memory from my games. But this week I dug up an older version of the map that I had started to draw up a couple of years ago. This version of the Black Mire is incomplete, but includes some elements that I didn’t include in the Frog Idol version that I wish I had – particularly the standing stones by the forest and the raised island in the middle of the mire with the strange stepped temple upon it.
I love the increased detail I gave this map. The style of Coruvon by the forest, the trees in the swamp, the cool standing stones, and so on.
