This is my first city map created for our initial Shadow of the Demon Lord Campaign. It was inspired by the map in the campaign module Tales of the Demon Lord, but I've taken some liberties with it. Please feel free to use and enjoy!

Crossings is a small city of some nineteen thousand people, with half again as many living on the farms and small villages that surround it. The city spreads across a ring of hills whose lower reaches are the southern shores of the Dark Waters, a misty lake speckled with forested islands. A wall of brick surrounds the city, and older, lower walls rise within it, marking the boundaries of its districts or serving as mementos of the other settlements that once stood here.

The Emperor's Road, built by crusaders bound for the north, ends at the city's center where it meets the Grain Way headed east and the Iron Road to the west. Numerous smaller roads and trails lead in and out of the city by gates that pierce its outer wall. The river known as the Stream of Tears flows into the city from the Barrows, draining into the Dark Waters.

Six slender towers of white stone climb above the city. The folk of Crossings believe the towers were built by the fey, and named them as such long ago. However, the true history and purpose of the Faerie Spires are long lost.
