I’m nobody, and pretty fine about it
They say a long-dead saint is buried here. Among his many miracles, it is said that he could breathe underwater.

Maybe his legend is not entirely true. Maybe he is not really dead, and is waiting for someone to let him out.

A hobgoblin army came from the south long ago. They were defeated, but the remaining goblinoids took over the castle and never let go.

Now they roam the wetlands, feeding on giant snails as their cattle. But they're always on the hunt for more... red meat.

Region L

Nothing notable here, for me. Except maybe the only source of mithril, for the ones not mad enough to descent into dungeons and ancient ruins.

Of course, it will absolutely not be that simple.

Region K.
Life getting in the way. I'll have to catch up if I want to finish at the end of the year.

Region J
Two animal boneyards side by side; I’ve decided to extend this area into K8, up to the edge of the forest.

It's now an expanse covered with bones as far as the eye can see; bones of monsters, animals and people, all perfectly clean.

They say the mage presents herself as The Guardian. Of what? Nobody knows. When asked about the tremors that shake the land, her only answer was, “It means it’s working.”
Nobody has seen her since the sudden eruption up north. And the earth stand still.

Region H!

The hot springs are frequented by many regulars. Less regular people (a.k.a. adventurers) tend to head north, in search of the legendary resurrection cauldron.
Unsurprisingly, they come back tired, bruised, and empty-handed.

Region G of #hexcrawl25!

There it is, folks, we have the BBEG of these lands. The Mighty Gazebo is here!

Got my pi 5 yesterday.
Today I:
- created a minecraft server
- configured a jellyfin server
- added a samba shared folder
The last two accessibles from my pc and my android devices.
Pretty proud of myself, not gonna lie.

Now, back to combine little bestagons on a map.

Region F of #hexcrawl25

A plethora of creatures roams these plains. They mostly fight each other, to the rhythm of empty oaths and fleeting alliances.
But sometimes, a leader arises, powerful enough to lead a significant portion of them.
That's when the real trouble begins.

Here is region E.
It would be a short trip to the city, if not for this stupid bridge, enchanted by an obnoxious wizard who sees himself as hilarious.
None of the answers even make sense, except in his mind. And that's when they don't simply change entirely!

Region D keyed.
A magical spring in the middle of a swamp, surrounded only by monsters and ruins. Yup, that's definitely the Fountain of Youth.
Just... boil its water before you drink it.
(because when you steal jokes, you steal from the best like Terry Pratchett.)

The starting village has finally a name!
When I got the wagon location, I immediately started fleshing out Old Tulip, then I realized I could have put Arthur in there.
Will never win any writing contest with this, but this is fun!

Region C keyed too, to catch up a bit!

The villagers don't know why the swamp is surrounded by an invisible barrier.
They don't WANT to know.
After all, maybe it's not there to prevent people from entering, but to prevent something from escaping.

Trying to use this city building as a castle. Hopefully the scaling isn't too obvious.
I'm sure the well full of spore-laced swamp water have absolutely nothing to do with the monks strange behaviour...

First region "flower" done. Still using the walled city for castles, since there isn't one in the assets. Maybe 2minutetabletop will create addons someday?
I'm on the fence for mountains. Grey for contrast, or brown for a more homogeneous look.

Region A keyed.
Hexkit was definitively not the right tool, so staying with Dungeondraft.
Using Inkscape for all the texts. The process start to take form!

The A10 swamp lair and adjacent cave scream "lizard men spawning grounds" to me.

Here is my regional map for #hexcrawl25. Pretty flat for now but I could change the hex type based on the predominent biome in the generated region.
