    Default Jörðgarð Map of Week #263 - Main Island Castle Interior

    meadowcastleGF_3000.jpg meadowcastle2S_3000.jpg

    Apologies for the delay this week. The release of Bogie's Mapping Objects and repairs of download files that were corrupted by problems on the host's server took a good bit of time. The 263rd Map of the Week is from the second Jörðgarð (TM) Trails adventure on the Fallen Empire Trail, "Draug Hunters." The map shows the interior of the castle complex on the main island of the Misty Spring area. Misty Spring is a large lake that is fed by a spring. The lake is the source of the Fogwater River. Unknown to most, there are sseveral populated islands upon the lake. It is a hidden area, constantly covered by a magical fog.

    Much of the old baronial castle stands empty today. The rest has been converted, for the most part, for other uses than when Austamæra barons still ruled and resided here. It took considerable work to restore the castle. Most of it was made possible by the castle island tinker, Melkólmur, and one of the outer island rangers, Erlendur, who turned his refuge into a makeshift sawmill and who made himself into something of a do-it-yourself sawyer. Fortunately, most of the supplies that Melkólmur and Erlendur need were found in a castle storage center, where many of the still remain.

    Your maps are already cool when you release them, Mark, even though I know your intention is for people to use them as a base on which to work up their own unique versions.

    I look at them and I see all kinds of different possibilities, and can feel my fingers itching to have a go - to put all the fixtures and fittings in

    I have a feeling that at least one of my doubles in all those parallel universes out there, is seriously into gaming.

    For everyone else who reads this post - you have no idea of the hell these server glitches are causing, and the number of hours that Mark has had to put in on other forums to repair all the damage they did.

    You should have an award for that alone, Mark!
