[Mark Oliva]

With the 105th Map of the Week we look at the covert Sawblade Ruin encampment of the evil Society of Immortal Darkness.

Sawblade was an Æsir thorp that fell into ruin at the end of the Great Wars. Today it is a mere shadow of its former self, standing isolated from the rest of the Royal County in Southwood Fortress near the northern border of Slovania. The few wooden buildings in Sawblade Ruin today serve the cult of the dark draug Mýsing in the ruins of Garndi's Crossing, in the fallen Æsir Empire to the north, who hopes to become a deity. The chief priest of Mýsing in Sawblade Ruin, the black necromancer Steindór, recruits evil Slovanian spellcasters as new priests of Mýsing. They receive their initial training in Sawblade Ruin.

I really like this map, in particular the tents which have a pleasing hand-drawn quality. The overall colour scheme looks great and the scale feels right too. Good job Mark.

Greetings! The tent objects are from the Dundjinni forum.

Mark, you're the Fractal Mapper genius. This may be your best map of all (...or maybe only---yet?).
