    Default Jörðgarð Map of Week #255 - Greipur's Lair - Greipur's Fortress

    gl_greipursfortress_3000.jpg

    The 255th Map of the Week is from the second Jörðgarð (TM) Trails adventure on the Fallen Empire Trail, "Draug Hunters." The map shows a zoomed, top down view of the small subterranean fortress that houses Greipur in his lair. The complete overall view of Greipur's Lair can be seen in the Map of the Week for May 8, 2016.

    A wooden drawbridge crosses the Moeðing underground creek, connecting the fortress with the opposite bank. The bridge is kept up except when authorized creatures wish to cross the creek. Inside the wall are three structures:

    A small gatehouse. The lead golem who guards the fortress will lower the drawbridge for visitors, if they fit the specifications for which its commands tell it to lower the bridge.

    A shed. This is Greipur's storage area. Among other things, it is believed to contain two chests filled with coins. The value is unknown.

    Greipur's Tower. The strange tower is nearly as wide as it is tall. Greipur would have preferred to have it higher, but his minions ran out of building material. The tower is 30 feet/9 meters in diameter and 40 feet/12 meters high. (It has been separately mapped and detailed and will be next week's Map of the Week.)

    You can get this view in two versions:

    1. The Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 version in FMP format, fully editable (6 MB) from the Jörðgarð website.

    2. As a JPG flat map of 3000 x 2812 Pixels (2.5 MB), available above.

    Both versions are released for personal and commercial use under the Open Game License Version 1.0a, which you can read on the Jörðgarð website at:

    I like the colors.in this one, Mark. And I've always liked the wood shingle roofs! I want to know how you did the drawbridge.

    Easiest question I received all week! I simply placed the attached symbol there.

    Oh is that what that is?!? I've seen that symbol in your collection, I think, and couldn't figure out what the chains were for! How could I be that stupid??? Lol
