They say there are no atheists in foxholes.  Although there are no grim trenches outside the embattled city of Berinncorte, the concept certainly matches the mood.  Hunkered down, constantly anticipating attack and threats, and an aura of gloom and pain: these are the conditions outside the once-bright city.

In such conditions, citizens under siege turn to religion more than ever.  In the makeshift wake of the Fall of the city, the Sheergath faithful have forged a new place of worship.

Interior of the Hunter's Hut.  The ruins to the southwest are of a destroyed Watchspire (from a previous map preview).

For those who celebrate, have a fantastic holiday weekend this weekend!

In the wake of the Fall and the evacuation of Berinncorte proper, blacksmith Dimblebruffe sets up shop outside the city walls in a series of makeshift tents.

Ungridded and not marked up for the GM, but still, gives you a sense of what's going on here.

I realize these are probably a bit bland without GM markups indicating what's what and what there is to do, but still, to give you a sense of things, here are some maps.

Particularly psyched about the fog effect in the "after" shot.

Before the fall:

Here's an example of an exterior structure's interior.  I love the way the transparency preserves the feel of the tent, but allows for clarity as to what's underneath it.

FYI, every "tent of interest" will have an interior local map. Probably about a dozen or two. Simple things, really, and in many campaigns, maybe not even used. But I thought the same thing about the Cryptkeeper's Shack in Dark Obelisk 1, and having an interior map for that turned out to fuel one of the funniest things that happened to the PCs when I was GM'ing DO1.
