Autumn Pass v1.1

Mountain pass in autumn with towns, fort, ruins, swamp, river, waterfall, caves.

Cnocshire is a small halfling orchard town.

Feradar is an abandoned dwarven mining outpost.

Rin's bog is the home of a goblin tribe and a few wandering ogres.

Berradun is a fort that walls off the pass north that collects a modest levy for each traveller heading in or out, and a more substantial levy on trade goods.

Thistleton is a trading town, and the last settlement on the northbound road for several days.

A good place to start a campaign and have the party meet in a low stakes starter zone. Characters have goals that have them going to the territory to the north, they are currently in the tavern of Thistleton, and something happens that has the town petitioning whatever adventurers are in town for aid. You get the idea.

Some possibilities that I've used: the goblins have launched a raid and captured a few townsfolk and taken them to their lair back in Rin's Bog (look for my other published map 'Goblin Cave'). Or timber wolves are launching organized attacks on straggling villagers and their livestock, which it turns out a werewolf the town exiled years back is commanding them in an act of vengeance. etc, etc.

Prints well in greyscale, just play around with your printer settings to keep it on the lighter side. Burn the edges and dab it with a wet teabag to make a proper map.
