The Autumn Lands – The Final Map
🕑 Added 2025-04-04 16:06:16 +0000 UTCThe Autumn Lands lie to the south of the Midsummer Lands. This map sits to the east of map I from last month and to the south of Map B and is the final map in the set. The goal of the Autumn Lands was to produce a series of commercial-use hexmaps that can be used in their entirety or just one map for a specific adventure. There’s no set scale for these maps, and the items on the maps are not to scale with each other so we can see points of interest like towers, cities, and caves. If you really need a scale for this and don’t want to pick one yourself, go with six miles to the hex.
For this series, I’ve been working with the style I started putting together a couple of years ago where the rivers run along the hex borders – this allows for river travel to be great for exploration as you can see the hexes on each side of the river as you go. This encourages exploration-style games to stick to the rivers a lot, much like explorers did in the real world.
This map is back on the shore of the Autumn Lands and the many islands in the Mulberry Sea. In the south we have the mouth of the Autumn River and the Doven Gulf, with the City of Ivory Blossoms on the north side of the gulf and on the island in the mouth of the gulf, and the smaller settlement of Flowers Port on the island to the east in the Mulberry Sea. The only other settlements on this map are The Yellow Domes, a strange elven city on the easternmost island, and a nameless fishing village on “Elbow Island” south of the elven city.
As with most of the Autumn Lands, there are many ruins and standing stones around this map. Other points of interest include a massive petrified serpent entwined around a hill northwest of the City of Ivory Blossoms; a solitary volcano on the island north of the elven city of Yellow Domes, and the spires of some ancient fortress sticking out of the shallow waters in the crook of Elbow Island.
I've also attached a combined map of the nine Autumn Lands maps, which I'm in the process of getting a test print done at poster size.

Each of the nine maps is available in that format. For the poster map, no, I'm going to be printing on glossy paper, so I'm sticking to the paper background.

Will there be a white background with black hexes version available? Asking because I want to colorize parts (think rivers, ocean, roads, etc.). Thanks.
