    Default Looking to commission a map of a secluded, snowy, mountainous ogre villiage (WFRP)

    I would like to commission a map of a large but secluded ogre settlement, hidden away in valley located deep in the high mountains. This is set in the Warhammer Fantasy Old World, in the Grey Mountains. That doesn't matter much for the commission other than Warhammer has a grimmer aesthetic than much D&D art.

    It would consist of about 15-20 family homesteads (for a total of about 100 ogres). Each homestead should have a pen for a number of Rhinox (thing massive mountain goats)
    A large pit should be prominently placed, with large sharpened ribs placed around it to give it the appearance of gaping, toothy maw.
    Near the pit would be located a large abattoir and butchery. Near it should be pens for holding Rhinox to be slaughtered.
    Gnobler (a kind of goblin with a symbiotic relationship with the ogres) live in shantys and caves on the outskirts of the village.
    The valley should be surrounded by imposing mountains and snowcovered
    There is only one safe way into the valley, a crude but well worn path a heavy timber palisade/stakewall and gate goes accross the valley at a narrow part of the valley, cutting off the entering path
    A river flows from the mountains and goes along side or through the settlement (whatever looks good, but should not go into the pit)
    Other buildings:
    * A large drinking and feasting hall
    * An armory with a large gong placed outside
    * A large building serving as a community larder
    * A large area that is ringed in with a rope or chain (fighting / sport area)

    It should be basic, practical, bleak, but not crude. It has been there a long time and most building would be built with stone and timber.

    The map can be handdrawn black and white or a fancy digital creation as long as it has bleak, cold, grim feel.
    I plan to use it in Foundry so it needs to be a to scale map that I can lay a grid on (I don't want an actual grid drawn on the map, just a scale). I don't care about the exact size but the homesteads should feel spread out in the valley.

    If you are interested PM me a price or price range and how you handle change requests. Also, any restrictions on use and attribution. I have no plans to publish it but thought it would be nice to post to Warhammer fandom forums, with proper attribution. But if you want me to limit it to only my personal games and not share it, make that clear.

    My inspiration comes from the Warhammer Fantasy Role Play, 4th edition book Archives of the Empire II, I've included the passage below.

    Gristle Valley

    First founded by Ogres who managed to survive when most of their tribes were killed during the Great War Against Chaos, Gristle Valley may well be the largest Ogre territory outside of their eastern kingdoms. The Ogre mercenaries took the riches they earned in battle against the forces of the Dark Powers, including, supposedly, personal commendations on their courage from Magnus the Pious himself, and built a new home in the Old World rather than seeking out new tribes in the east. Their valley home lies hidden in the southern reaches of the Grey Mountains, protected by massive nearly year-round snow drifts and a ruthless willingness to eat trespassers.

    Gristle Valley is open to all passing Ogres, so long as they leave their quarrels with other tribes behind. Solitary wandering Ogres, mercenary bands, and even whole tribes occasionally sojourn in the valley, passing through the lands of the Border Princes or along the Black Mountains as they travel from the east.

    Commanders and other folk with ready coin to spend who wish to send an offer to the denizens of Gristle Valley can have a word with Edelard ‘Ed’ the Ale-Blessed, the Halfling manager of the Brass Boar, a tavern frequented by Ogre mercenaries in Nuln.
