📜 November Release #1 — The City of Eredia
🕑 Added 2025-11-06 19:00:08 +0000 UTCThis month we’re diving deep into forgotten ages, ancient magics, and powers best left undisturbed. And there are few places in our Fallen Kingdom setting that embody that theme more than Eredia — a city that once glittered with wealth and wonder before sinking (quite literally) into ruin and shadow.

You can find the full story over on the LegendKeeper article, but here’s a brief glimpse of what awaits:
⚜️ The Rise
Long before the unification of kingdoms, Eredia stood as a royal capital — The Gateway to the South. Its markets overflowed with exotic goods, masterwork crafts, and the scent of foreign spices carried on warm sea winds. For a time, it was the crown jewel of trade and artistry across the realm.
🐙 The Kraken
But prosperity came at a cost. A monstrous Kraken, The Great One-Eye, began preying upon the city’s ships. Salvation came through the Arcane College, whose scholars forged a scepter to bind the beast’s will — holding it fast with a single, eternal gaze from the tower above the harbor.
☠️ The Fall
When the Kingdom of Galdoria collapsed, Eredia’s fortunes drowned with it. A Plague of Undeath ravaged the land, famine and despair followed, and the city’s nobles fled with the Kraken Scepter — abandoning their people. Their betrayal summoned a storm that shattered their fleet and consumed the lower city beneath the waves.
🕯 The Betrayed
Those left behind were denied even death. Transformed into sentient undead, they turned from their gods and found solace in Nyxa, the Sleeper, entering long trances to escape their torment. Now Eredia endures as a twilight theocracy, ruled by the Council of the Veiled — calm, haunted, and eternal.
This map release includes 14 variants of Eredia — from storm-lashed ruins to moonlit stillness.
What's to come...
Over the next few weeks, our resident adventure writer MykeMyke and I will be expanding on this fallen city with adventure maps that explore the lingering power of the Kraken and the ancient magic that binds it.
File Format Update
To make things clearer going forward, I’ve renamed the reward folders as follows:
300dpi — Print-quality maps
72dpi — Roll20-optimized maps
WebP — Foundry-ready files
This should help avoid confusion between optimized files and full modules with lighting and walls.
