Our 55th Jörðgarð (TM) Map of the Week comes from our forthcoming publication "The Northwest."

This week we remain in Underhill in the Dreadlands, where we look inside the tower of Dagrún, the Marchioness of the Dreadlands. Dagrún is a red draug (undead) black necromancer.

Key to Dagrún's Tower

Ground Floor:

Five male and female orc warriors and a male or female human wizard are on guard here at all times.

2. Orc Commander's Desk.

3. Human Wizard's Desk.

4. Missing.

5. Crane Lift. The main use of this lift is to transport firewood up to the top story. The lift always is kept on the top story. It is lowered only when needed.

18. The Crane. The hand-cranked crane lowers and raises the lift. Dagrún uses her zombie animation (No. 21) to do the physical work.

19. Wood Stove. Dagrún is immune to cold, but not all of her spell components are unaffected by it. The stove keeps things at the proper temperature on cool days.

20. External Chimney. A stove pipe runs from the stove through the wall to the chimney.

21. Zombie Animation. The animation is Dagrún's servant. Its main task is to raise and lower the list. Note that the zombie is a magical animation. It is not living or undead and has no intelligence or other properties of its own. It acts only when steered by Dagrún's magic.

22. Operating Table. Dagrún uses this table to dissect her living human victims and human corpses.

23. Throne.

24. Bookcase.

25. Dagrún's Desk.

26. Manuscript Table. The marchioness uses the table to write scrolls and documentation of the results of her magical research.

27. Laboratory. Dagrún uses the lab to make potions and other chemical and alchemical combinations that serve her magic.
