Jörðgarð Map of Week #253 - Greipur's Lair

MarkOliva

The 253rd Map of the Week is from the second Jörðgarð (TM) Trails adventure on the Fallen Empire Trail, "Draug Hunters." The map shows two views, one of the surface area over the lair of the 1,200-year-old Æsir wizard Greipur and one of the layout of the wizard's subterranean dungeon.

Key to the Overland View:

Areas marked 1 are mining shafts that have broken off with time. On the surface level, the shafts marked No. 1 begin with spiral stairways that are hidden by rubble in the openings. Somewhat lower, the shafts crumbled, and the stairways now end d20 + 30 feet/d6 + 18 meters above the cavern floors. Any PCs who use the lower 10 feet/3 meters of such stairs are liable to cause additional crumbling of the stairs.

Area No. 2 is the magically hidden main entrance to the mine.

Areas marked 3 are small rows of foundation stones that once were the bases of buildings. They have no
significance.

Area No. 4 is what's left of the hoist station that once was used to left ore to the surface where it could be taken to the smelter, a structure that no longer exists. The hoist is gone, but if one clears away the rubble, one will find that the hoist shaft still is intact.

Areas marked 5 are basically the same as the areas marked No. 1, except that these shafts still are intact.
