Mystical Ruins (Patreon)

Hello again, everyone! This week's map is the Mystical Ruins (40x40), my biggest map yet as per your demands in the comments of the recent poll. And yes, this is the map that won the poll, beating the next option by 12 votes! Don't worry though, I'm going to be working on many of the best-performing maps from the poll, this one just got the privilege of being first. 

Anyway, since the name of this map was a little vague, I decided the 'mystical' part of the map would be brought about by a number of large magical gems, set into 5 crumbling platforms. And, by the look of things, the largest in the center is somehow drawing large roots from the earth to grow near it- perhaps triggering magical effects in the forest nearby? Only one way to find out!

Also! The Adept version of this map features the gems mysteriously dimmed, completely devoid of magic. I feel like this could be a fun concept to build around for this map, perhaps prompting the players to figure out how to activate the gems, or maybe you can use it to depict the map once the adventurers have successfully dispelled the magic/deactivated the gems. Who doesn't like maps that change with the battle?
