Chainspire Fortress
🕑 Added 2015-05-01 13:33:54 +0000 UTC The map of Chainspire Fortress was inspired by an illustration from “Our Native Land: a picturesque ramble through the three kingdoms” which has long expired from copyright and was scanned and made available by the British Library. It’s actually a drawing of Castle Roche, but I didn’t use the actual castle as the basis for this map, just the one view of it that you can get over at the blog post. Chainspire Fortress was built nine hundred years ago by a tyrannical elven prince from which to watch over his holdings. It changed hands a few times since in conflict and in peacetime, and the upper walls and towers were heavily damaged during the great war. However, the majority of the structure is still sound, if not well equipped for military defense anymore. Various owners have tried renaming it, but the old name has stuck in the imaginations and memories of the populace – local and regional. A high resolution version of the map as well as the illustration that inspired it can be found at the blog post at: https://rpgcharacters.wordpress.com/2015/05/01/friday-map-chainspire-fortress/ This map, being the first map of May, is released under a free-use commercial license as long as you credit me with the cartography in question.
