Jörðgarð Map of the Week #34 - þingúl's Tower

[Mark Oliva]

Attachment 39424

The 34th Jörðgarð (TM) Map-of-the-Week continues in the formerthe Æsir settlement of Lifehall after the devastation, when the dark draugs Hrolf and þingúl claimed it and made lifeless Bonehall of it. Today's release shows floor plans of the three stories of the dark draug þingúl's tower. This tower served the Æsir deity Löðr before the Æsir abandoned it.

Key to the Floor Plan of þingúl's Tower

Nothing is numbered here. This floor is almost entirely empty, although there is no reason for the game master not to add things if they would serve his or her campaign. The main feature is the great spiral stairway that connects the three stories.

Four orc warriors stand guard on this level, which has the only entrance to the tower. There are no windows. The rear part of the floor is dark. If the game master has placed objects there, these will be invisible to the adventurers. Four wall torches and four fires in standing braziers light the way from the entrance of the tower to the doorway of the spiral stairway.
