New update to The Sailfolk Islands! Finished with the water, and put some dunes and sand in the desert. Going to start on the jungles next! Notes from the Historian Edwin Forthes- The town of Last Call had quite a tumultuous founding. The shanty town, founded on the last island of Glowshallow reef, has in fact had no less than three different beginnings. Founded by pirates in the early days of the islands, Last Call was originally a smugglers hideaway. When the merchants of Stormhaven, who had grown tired of being robbed, finally acquired its location, they hired a large band of mercenaries to burn it down; And that was the end of the hideout for now. Years later, a famous pirate, known only as Captain Shroud, reclaimed the area and let his crew settle there. Soon enough a small village grew, and a tavern was built, which was frequented by pirates, and smugglers. They nicknamed the tavern 'One Last Drink', as it was the last place ships could stop before sailing into the vast waters away from the Islands. It was at this point, that the governing forces from Cliffstone, and Storm-Haven (Mostly the descended from merchants, and traders) decided to raze the town to the ground once and for all, trying to rid their waters of thieves. The tavern, however, had survived the attack, and stayed open. It was from these profits that the survivors rebuilt their town and eventually conceded to a peace treaty with the nearby cities, fearing if they didn't they would be run out for good. The town is now named 'Last Call', in honor of the tavern at the heart of it all. And even though it sits under the Merchants jurisdiction, still has roots in seedy underworld goings-on, and secretly a haven for pirates, smugglers, and thieves alike. #RahVen #maps #mapsarecool #handdrawnmaps #penandpaper #blackandwhitemaps #worldbuildingart #worldbuilding #fantasycartography #fantasymaps #cartography #storytelling #ttrpgmaps #rpgmaps #gofclibrary #guildoffreecartographers https://www.instagram.com/p/CT2gaN5LLPm/?utm_medium=tumblr
