    Wip January 2017 Challenge: Rains of Castamere

    Here's the layout of Castamere so far. The Keep on the surface will be in ruin and the underground complex will be underwater... but i figured i should draw out what it might look like before to have a starting point. This could have been a good entry for last month's map a siege... though it wasn't really wasn't a siege. The Reynes barricaded themselves in the lower depths, but the Lannisters diverted a river and flooded the place, in good George R. R. Martin fashion, they all died.

    Great start. I love the idea behind this one (I mean, who doesn't enjoy a nice cosy mass murder, right?) I'm liking what you've got so far.

    Great idea aand start Bryan! The setting is awesome and you have quite an interesting layout for the castle there. Looking forward to see this coming together.

    In the books, Castamere is 90% underground, built into the old goldmines. So I laid it out as that first... i think some elements of WWI trenches fell in there somehow too.

    I removed the upper floor on the surface keep to have room for a map key.

    Hopefully I can finish this map. I'm in the middle of moving. Anyway. I added the flood water... I suppose the whole thing should be underwater... but I lost a lot of the detail of the floors, maybe this can be Castamere its present state after some draining has occurred.
