The sand pit would be sunk down by at least one step so it wouldn't be scattered all over the place but I love that mention of detail.

The original map is something like 4000x4000 so I'd have to post it once when ti's all said and done otherwise it would spam the forum.

The overall map design is of a monastery - where a few monks and pilgrims can find rest from the outside world. The sand pit at the center is both for training in combat but also as a sand table where the instructors can draw on the floor to help illustrate their points (since chalkboards are dull).

Thanks for the suggestions.
