A Bloody History Area Aspects: Thick blood thorns, crumbled statues, poisonous moss, strange religious symbols No one knows who built the original abbey, though it has been rebuilt and broken down dozens of times Crypts and mausoleums litter the hillside surrounding over the past two thousand years.

Some believe it was the abbey, some of which have been freshly built and constructed on a site already stained by an unnatural recently used. Tyrants, noble murderers, sacrilegious darkness.

Evil flourishes on this hill, which has always priests, and corrupt knights are often laid to rest here. Tracing Some of the mausoleums are vast catacombs unto back through the history of the abbey brings up themselves, while others are little more than one or repeated stories of murder, sacrifice, and sorrow, as two standing walls. In many places, the stone floors of well as hints of dark beings that should never see the the mausoleums have collapsed into pits and passages light of the world.

The red leaves of its vines are humanoids line the walls of its central chamber, giving poisonous, leaving large welts if touched to the skin intruders the sense of being surrounded. A statue of a monstrous robed figure stands over Rough stonework surrounds the pool—the remnants of the altar, its four skeletal arms each positioned as if a decrepit fountain stained black.

The oily liquid leaks beckoning intruders in welcome. The stone tiles around through the stonework, flowing along cracks in the floor the altar are stained dark red from centuries of use.

Strange glyphs and symbols mark the stones, and numerous depictions Area Aspects: Cold stone slab, monstrous of huge, corrupt creatures towering over screaming welcoming statue, dark bloodstained tiles humanoids are scribed along the walls. Hulking, No matter what the temperature around it, the altar faceless statues stand in the alcoves surrounding the remains cold.

No known substance or force can pool, their hands stained dark red. The strange statue is a recent Area Aspects: Black pool, stonework fountain, addition to the altar, built atop the rubble of dozens of faceless hulking statues, oily rivulets flowing other statues that have stood here over the years.

The into the walls stone slab is the oldest part of the abbey. Any attempt to plumb its depth shows it to be nearly fifty feet deep, with signs that it opens up to Numerous pits and passages lead down into the vast chambers and tunnels below.

The floor around the catacombs beneath the monastery hill. Stone arches pool feels spongy to the touch—almost like flesh— shore up walls of natural earth pierced through with and pulses in a regular rhythm.

If any attempt is made gnarled roots. Hundreds of skeletons are embedded in to damage the floor, it begins to spasm as the oil in the those walls, with each skull painted with a small glyph pool grows extremely hot. Many passageways have collapsed in cave-ins, and an unnaturally warm wind blows through many of the still-standing tombs.

Some of the frescoes skulls leering and bony hands outstretched. Further on the walls show robed figures being worshiped by sinkholes and cave-ins reveal more passages leading thousands of followers.

Others show those same figures even deeper into the hill, seemingly going on forever. Still others show the mass sacrifice of enough for a human, but they sometimes open up to naked humanoids to these dark gods. Area Aspects: Cold iron fence, stone sarcophagi, detailed frescoes. It is unclear whether this room was constructed for the purpose of worship or as a place of protection from whatever lies in the three sarcophagi.

Large slabs of worked stone, with silver. Where a number of those slabs have the floor.

The doors leading into this chamber are all collapsed, they reveal natural alcoves cut deep into the solid iron, barred from the opposite side and etched stone behind them. The fronts of the intact slabs have with silver glyphs.

Chains of cold iron laced with silver been carved with the forms of figures armored in spiked are affixed to the smooth stone walls by huge spikes, and plate mail and horned helmets.

Some of these tomb doors have crumbled over time, while others appear to have been shattered in Though no one knows who built this room, its purpose the course of looting.

In some of the looted tombs, the is obvious to any who have studied the undead— charred bones of would-be grave robbers can still be either a prison, a torture chamber, or an execution found. Whether any vampires still rest in the A huge machine built of iron gears and heavy stone sarcophagi can be determined only by opening them.

A large ramp leads down into the belly of the machine, where heavy iron wheels covered with razor-sharp blades wait to be turned. Massive chains feed up from the machine into the ceiling, then back down again, controlled by an iron lever capped by a six-fingered outstretched hand. Demonic faces carved of stone surround the outer edges of the machine, their open mouths caked with dried blood and opening up to stained gutters that feed into a large, square pool at the back of the room.

The ceiling above is incredibly high, and must once have amplified the screams of the creatures fed into this engine of pain. Area Aspects: Bladed wheels, huge iron chains, bloody demonic faces, bloodstained pool. Dozens of different cults and religious sects have come to the abbey over the centuries, but none was as twisted as the cult whose members constructed the pain engine. Believing that pain was a channel to other worlds, the cultists constructed a vast mechanism of stone and iron designed to maximize the suffering of those fed into it.

Huge counterweights behind the walls activate the machine once the lever is pulled. Massive trees wrap up centuries-long heartbeat of a vast creature living and around crumbling stone columns, and the heads of beneath the forest. Signs of this process are found titanic statues lie embedded in the ground under centuries throughout the city, showing millennia of life, growth, of mold and leaf fall.

Higher up, the cracked marble domes and powerful magical energy followed by famine, of a dozen temples peek out from beneath the forest canopy. Potential Inhabitants: Monstrous humanoids, Beautiful statues and carvings are marred by the devils, demons, undead, unintelligent monsters harsh symbology of devils and demons.

In their desire to end the cycle A City of Ten Thousand Years of growth and destruction, the elves of Moonwillow The long lives of the elves can be seen in this ancient enacted a plan to channel the energy of the mystical city, whose stonework has stood here for nearly ten grove at the heart of the city, drawing it up through a.

Area Aspects: Thousands of rune-scribed urns, Lost and Abandoned swirling dust and howling winds, welcoming Elves now look upon the fallen city with sadness and elven statue shame, seeing it only as a symbol of their hubris.

Despite the great age of the city, the long lives of the Moonwillow sits abandoned and empty, the towering elves leave them relatively few dead to entomb. Those relics of the elves engulfed by the return of the forest. Here, the that the heart of the grove might renew itself. If it spirits of the elves touch the lives of the living.

Wild brush and huge trees dominate the center square of the city of Moonwillow, which presents an unearthly strange sight. Huge broken stones float through the Vale of the Old Ones grove, spinning slowly in the air. Bolts of electricity arc The vale that marks the location of the city is between the branches of dead trees.

For thousands of years, this site inspired nature, their voices dark and full of anger.

The the grove is still fresh. Set atop a high flight of crumbling stone stairs, this vast hall extends deep into the mountainside. Delicate runes This round building with a collapsed roof marks the site etched into each urn describe the remains contained of a wide, smooth shaft leading two hundred feet down within.

A chill wind blows constantly through the into the earth. Large cracks mar the delicately rune- hall, swirling dust and ash, and filling the area with etched stone walls of the shaft, and a hollow-sounding a howling sound.

At the center of the hall, a chamber wind blows up from the darkness below. The faint remnants of arcane energy reveal that the shaft once held a floating platform used to descend and ascend.

Two tall, At the bottom of the shaft, dozens of cells connected battered statues are set at the entrance to the temple, by a network of magically protected hallways once while three even larger statues stand within, their size housed the most powerful and dangerous enemies of and appearance marking them as gods or rulers.

One Moonwillow. The cells vary greatly in construction, is armored in plate, a long, curved sword in her hands. Another is dressed in long flowing robes and holds a tall Some chambers are crafted in the shape of small staff in his hands. The third takes the form of a creature dodecahedrons, with each surface covered in metal seemingly half elf and half tree, standing with arms etched with runes.

Others might be vast caverns outstretched. The heads of all three statues are missing. Many of Alcoves containing broken statues of other elven gods these cells are empty, their prisoners having either and heroes surround the base of the temple. At the center escaped or starved to death when the elves abandoned of the floor, a large circle set with strange glyphs has been Moonwillow.

The obsidian spike narrows from top to bottom, its jagged surface extremely cold to the touch. Streams A massive block of seamless granite towers over the city.

Glyphs on the shattered doors bubble and spew Area Aspects: Cold black spike, streams of black smoke into the air. Designed to draw energy directly from whatever For thousands of years, the Tower of Knowledge source of magical power lay beneath the city, the spike stood as the greatest single repository of lore and instead wounded or killed that source of energy.

Hundreds of. Tendrils of black liquid twist through the beings spent whole lifetimes helping those seeking pool, continually churning, splitting, and reforming— knowledge to find the right source. Chambers still though never mixing with the water itself. DESIGN NOTE: The Well of Dreams had been used for thousands of If you wish to fill out the great library of years as a pool of prophecy, and as a place dedicated Moonwillow even further, consider combining to worship and communion with realms beyond the it with the Forgotten Library location.

Now tainted by the corruption of the grove, the Well of Dreams contains only nightmares of your own design. Seven bronze- ringed portals are set into the walls, each filled with a swirling amber fog. Lines of electricity arc out from the portals to strike the orb. Another open portal cut into the ceiling at the height of the dome exposes the orb to the sky above.

Area Aspects: Bronze-ringed portals, orb of unstable energy, hole to sky above, chaotic gateways, violet light and amber fog. Cut into the rock of the mountains above the city, this chamber holds seven portals that once opened gateways to worlds beyond the mortal realm.

The central orb directed energy from the moon, sun, and stars above to the portals. Now, the instability of the elven magic that once powered this place has turned those portals to gates of chaos, shunting their power into the orb. Whether any of these portals can be reactivated—and what dangers might arise from doing so—remains a mystery.

Built as the final refuge of a legendary Sanctuary and the mortal world. It is a completely undead archmage, the sanctuary contains everything artificial place, hidden outside the bounds of space the lich requires to support its endless solitude away and time. It exists in the void between realities, and from mortal realms—and to recover from destruction is so well hidden that none but the lich can ever hope when would-be heroes of those realms come calling.

Yet hints of its location are found from Potential Inhabitants: Constructs, demons, time to time. Fearing that it might lose access to the devils, undead, magical traps sanctuary, the lich has hidden its location in ancient tomes and lost scrolls. Sly Flourish's Fantastic Locations.

No maps in a locations supplement Buy the lazy dm workbook that has excellent locations - same author - but with actual maps A couple of the locations in the description sound strikingly similar to Sly Flourish's Fantastic Adventures. Anybody own both of them that can tell me if this is the case?

As noted by the reviewer below but missed by me before I purchased it , this location outline book has NO maps. Hard to imagine why they were not included. Makes the locations rather difficult to use without a lot of work on your own to figure out a map that matches the descriptions. Indeed, these locations do not include maps.

This was by design. I intended for these locations to be flexible in supporting GMs for whatever size they needed whether it's large sprawling locations or small two or three room dungeons. Tying them to a specific map would make them too rigid for this purpose. They aren't but I recognize that it can be confusing. I did add a paragraph to the product description to mention this. If you do want to tie these locations to maps, I highly recommend using one of the free maps that Dyson Logos has on their website.

They have thousands of maps and many of them will work very well for these locations. I was disappointed to see that there were no maps. I would not have bought this had I known that ahead of time. Perhaps it would be appropriate to say in the product description that no maps are provided. I am sorry you are disappointed. Please contact me and I'll try to make it right. As mentioned in a comment above, I intended for DMs to be able to use these locations in a variety of situations.

Not tying the locations to a map was intended to help GMs use them with whatever maps they choose; large, small, linear, Jaquan-style; however they want.
