"Fleeing the rage that consumed their feuding families, Juliana and Orlando fled to the Cave of Echoes, where it is said every wish is granted."

No longer underground: my collection of vintage cavern imagery.

Greetings!

The adventurers have found an old portal in a ruined temple deep in the woods. The wizard, using ancient knowledge acquired studying forgotten tomes, has activated the runes that will bring the portal to life once more.

Bracing themselves and holding their weapons tight, the adventuring party ventures forth, not exactly knowing what lies beyond.

The trip is painless and even pleasant, and thankfully no one is missing any limbs or has extra eyeballs. But a dark aura surrounds our heroes and they find themselves deep underground where many monsters and dangers await them.

What will they find in these massive cave tunnels and in what sort of new adventures will they find themselves in?

A D&D map inspired by the forest sinkholes found in China. This small cavern formed by this sinkhole's collapse has been colonized by trees and vegetation, sustained by a pond at its deepest point. The pond surges and shrinks with seasonal rains and droughts, over time its runoff has carved a tunnel through weak rock that connects into the network of caves, tunnels, and caverns that form the Underdark. Of course, what also serves as an entrance for adventurers into the Underdark also serves as an exit for its denizens. Raiders from underground civilizations may use this sinkhole to access the surface. The cavern is also a holy place to a cult of Eilastree worshipping drow, viewed as a gift from their goddess to the underground exiles. This map is available on my Patreon in day/night + grid/gridless versions in full size and w/o watermark.
