Desert Ruins [36x50]

Hey everyone!

We designed this with input from the Discord server, so thanks for everyone who chipped in for that! :)

This is meant to depict the ruins of an old water temple, the endless vase still decanting water in the dry desert millennia later. We hope this can act as a mysterious oasis within an inhospitable desert. Perhaps for those who've just crossed the Antlion Canyons.

We're thinking of making an version of this map set thousands of years earlier, when the temple was full and the desert was instead a lush plain. Let us know if you'd enjoy that!

Also, thanks so much to everyone who sent messages about this post and Borough Bound in general! We've almost doubled our patron count for that project since I made the post about it. As a sneak peak we're about to finish our latest city, the dwarf city of Vyndurvoht. Here's how it's looking so far:

This map pack is great, and the idea of a flashback map to when the ruins were once whole sounds amazing! I'm working on some time travel campaign ideas, so having the same location mapped at different times is really helpful.

<p style="color: #008600;">Well, I think the idea of making a different version of this map that looks like thousands of years ago is not bad!</p>

Would LOVE map of this oasis from years before when it was a lush area. I say this selfishly as I'm setting up a similar scene in my current Desert campaign so it'd be perfect for me :P
