Map of Pelshire, from Dragon Garage

To orient myself with the landscape in Dragon Garage, I decided to make a map of the region the players visited in greater detail. 

The gateway from our world into the fantasy world of Arthea is hidden in the Hyllwode, near the crumbling remains of the Elven Temple of Finla...

It was fun to do up, although I didn't wind up using it as much as I had thought I would. I jam packed it with possible adventure sites. 

On top of that, Baron Rogard of Forksbury is feuding with Baron Sigulf of Walcastra. Goblins infest the mountains, lizard people Basilisk Bay (along with the basilisks), and giant spiders stalk the forests.

The entirety of Pelshire sits atop the ruins of the ancient Eotan city of Eodyr; the great Titanohere road is still used to this day. It's massive flagstones are worn smooth after thousands of years, but it was constructed (and enchanted) to last. Ruins of their colossal buildings still jut out of the earth north of the Hyllwode. 

Slogs, a derisive name for a reptilian species of humanoids, dwell in Basilisk Bay and along the coastline, harassing fishermen and emptying their nets. The Barons have tried to wipe out their watery strongholds, but the swamp is all but impenetrable for humans.

North of Warringhast are The Badlands, in the shadow of the South Wornspine Mountains, and here goblins gather in great numbers. Many are in service to the Witches of the Hexwist, who harbour a long simmering grudge against the Lords of Avalon.

Hopefully there will be the opportunity to do sequels and flesh out the region more. 

In the meantime, it's proving useful with my Dungeons & Dragons game crew.
