🎉 Bonus Map Release – The Ironhelm Mountains! 🗺️ & Update for November

Added 2025-09-30 13:00:22 +0000 UTC

Adventurers, I’ve got something special for you to round out our theme of Dwarven Strongholds!

From our Fallen Kingdom setting, I bring you the Ironhelm Mountains – once the proud home of the 15 great dwarven clans. This map predates the kingdom’s fall, meaning many of these mighty holds have since been abandoned, razed, or even occupied. It’s up to your players to discover which halls still ring with dwarven steel and which lie in ruin.

Patreon Rewards

Initiate Mapmaker ($1) / Journeyman Surveyors ($3) / Master Cartographers ($5)

You’ll also notice some familiar locations woven into this release:
⚓ Hurak Durm – the dwarven port
🛡️ Var Torum – the great gatehouse
🏔️ Khaz Narak Part 1 / Part 2 – the sprawling, 5-level dwarven hold

And as a little extra, I’ve released the clan banners of the 15 dwarven families that once ruled these mountains. Perfect for use in your own campaigns or world-building projects!

A Note About Next Month - New Team Member Incoming!

Some of you may have noticed there hasn’t been a poll for October’s theme. That’s because I’ll be stepping away for part of the month to help Mrs. The Reclusive Cartographer welcome a brand-new addition to our family. 🍼✨

But fear not, brave adventurers! When have I ever failed to deliver maps? While I’m away, I’ve been preparing a lucky-dip style collection of maps for you to enjoy. Think of it as rummaging through a treasure hoard—you never know what gem you’ll pull out! Regular themed poll will return in November.

Thank you all so much for your continued support. Whether you’ve been here for years or just joined last week, you make this cartographer’s journey possible.
