Starglass Waypoint Map Pack!

This Map Pack is my interpretation of Starglass Waypoint, a githyanki outpost that houses a Gateway to the Astral Plane which has been damaged by an earthquake and abandoned. The map is from the module Dragon Delves, but could also simply be a gith (or other race) stronghold in a desert-themed location.

Starglass Waypoint is located amidst a series of hot sandstone canyons, and I've provided an expanded exterior to the map provided in the module, in case you wanted to begin the interaction outside of the physical entrance, which was largely intended to be done in Theater of the Mind within the module.

It's a 2-level outpost with several chambers in various states of disrepair. The module features a Brass Dragon that has taken over the lower level of the outpost, though the hoard of treasure located in the Gateway Chamber could belong to any creature you may designate.

Another interesting feature on the 2nd floor is a Teleportation Circle, which could tie this location into other potential locations within your game world in an easy way and provide a useful resource to the party after they liberate (or negotiate) the outpost from whatever entity presently holds control.

I had an illustration of the exterior entry created to help set the scene, by Ha Art:

The map features [2] floors, the 1st Floor:

And the 2nd Floor (intended to be used as a PNG transparent Tile):

The location has some interesting features:

  1. The walls and doors are made of a semi-transparent stone that is incredibly strong, but has a glass-like appearance and quality.

  2. Several stairways and Elevators provide access to the upper level catwalks and rooms.

  3. The 2nd Level features a Control Room with various buttons, knobs and a view screen which provides a variety of features in the module, such as loudspeakers, room viewing, alarms, flight for persons in the facility and other similar effects.

  4. The earthquake has damaged much of the facility, including one of the 2nd Floor suites, where an entire floor has fallen into a 60-foot deep sinkhole, where an opportunistic kobold has taken root.

  5. The githyanki outpost has a modern and futuristic feel, and some of the creatures located there are constructs known as Modrons.

Ways to use the Outpost:

If you are running the module, then you can follow that story or use it as the basis for something rooted in your own world.

This Githyanki Outpost could be an interesting location that players have to liberate and then repair so that the Astral Gate can be made functional again. This has inherent dangers, as the Gith who have abandoned the facility may decide to come back and reclaim it, so there would likely need to be some type of arrangement/encounter to decide that fate.

The Teleportation Circle is also an interesting resource the party could make use of immediately and in the future, as they link to other locations/sites they have secured and/or visited as a part of your campaign.

As with very pack, we also have a great Githyanki Knight Sprite whose design was certainly influenced by the interest in Gith garnered by Baldur's Gate 3. Artwork by Katsudon Art:

I hope you enjoy the concept and can create some fun stories!
