Snowed In

I’ll never understand the desire of monarchs to build castles at the tops of mountains. Sure they are safe, but the cold is miserable. - Ida Holly

The climb along the icy mountain cliffs, the snowbanks hiding perilous cavern shafts, and the unyielding wind that leaves ice crystals stinging your skin are all left behind you as you breach the mountain’s top. There it stands- Iverholm keep. A towering forgotten castle left abandoned for nearly a century, its palisades still in place from the war that brought it to ruin.

As you pass the gates into the empty courtyard and begin scouting for a good place to set up camp you hear a voice in the winds. “You are not welcome here. Leave us to rest” The wind kicks up as your party all grabs for their weapons. In the silhouettes of the snow, figures begin to take shape. Frozen phantoms. And behind them growing ever closer. A massive- horrifying blizzard.

This map was originally made for my home game, I usually don't share the ones I make for my own players but I felt like this one was really great and wanted to give you all a crack at it! Originally it included a landed airship and some abandoned bi-planes (My setting is turn of the century themed) I figured I’d make it a bit more accessible but I DID include that version as an alternate in the files!
