Added 2020-11-26 18:30:29 +0000 UTC

Greetings Adventurers!

This is the final themed map for November, shifting back to the towns/cities theme and this week we will be entering into a village landscape. As you will soon note, this isn't just any little village however, there's something a bit mystical about the environment.

The base map releasing to the Barbarian tier takes place in a bright and sunny day. This village may be considered one outside of the norm, but still a thriving civilization where they grow their own crops, plant their flowers, and keep things in relatively good shape. I wanted to go for a colorful and vibrant color scheme to help make this community seem like it's really thriving. The various colors you see here also help to give a very mysterious and magical sense within the atmosphere.

The Death Knight tier includes a bonus set of maps this week for the Thanksgiving (for us in the United States) holiday! I completed turned this map into a full sepia color graded map for those who enjoy that sepia feel. This is included completely free for nothing extra as I personally enjoyed the look of how this map looked in that format. Additionally, for the variant I turned the village into a night scene where the colorful speckles of light found in the environment all lite up into a bioluminescent glow (idea given to me by velocichaptor on Discord). These tiny speckles of magic could either be just a magical essence living amongst this village, or tiny fairies that bless the environment with their light. I think it really gives this night scene an excellent touch and can lead up to some very interesting encounters.

The Necromancer and Legend tiers will be getting a helmet crafted by the artist Halfrice and authored by myself. As usual, the Necromancer tier will be getting the helmet artwork by itself with a transparent background while I designed the "Sunfire Helmet" for the Legend tier. This helmet is considered a wondrous item and is all ready for use in an upcoming D&D session as you see fit.

I hope you all enjoy this map and create some fun encounters here! I really think this will leave a lasting memory on your players. Stand by as soon I'll be posting the poll for December map theme ideas and for all the U.S. patrons, have an amazing Thanksgiving!
