November 2018 Challenge: The Shattering of Ixantar's Gate

[Jaxilon]

I don't think any of my players frequent this site but if one of you is here, stop reading now or I'm for sure going to at the very LEAST cripple your Player character!

Long story short, this represents the finale of our campaign. It's certainly a ways off but I'm still working on illustrations and maps for everything so I'm doing this now.

The name may change as once the adventurers find the location they may give it their own name or it may be given a name as they continue to unravel the story leading up to this encounter.

The Gate is in fact a portal by which a parasitic alien species has invaded the world and the adventurers will have had to collected a number of artifacts needed to collapse the portal and seal the breach.

It lies in a cavern within a dark spire on the vast sea. Arriving there will be a bit like sailing into the Bermuda triangle when things get wiggy but in the end this is where everything comes together...or not.

I'm going at this from a different direction than I normally do as I'm trying to follow a more environmental design approach since I'm in world building phase anyway. So we'll see how it goes.

I begin with some references for my location and some artifact designs. I also did an initial idea of what the chamber might look like (this will change later) as you will see.
