The Fractured Prism
🕑 Added 2025-09-18 15:29:30 +0000 UTCRefracting the light of the two suns in a rainbow of colours, both known and not, the Fractured Prism is a breach into this world from another. The colours it refracts are those unknown to the people of this land – jale, ulfire, dolm, garrow, infra-white, octarine, gloxym, smaudre, shatan, and flange, with shadows of fuligin and htun.
The entrances to the Fractured Prism are broken mirrors that look out over the salt flats. Touching the broken mirrors shifts the traveller immediately through to the other side – but a failed saving throw results in strange breaks and fractures in those who travel through. A horrible failure will result in some of the fractured pieces missing entirely – taking fingers, breaking legs, and so on.
Razor Halls
The halls through the crystalline structure are broken along sharp shear lines. It feels like the halls in a funhouse after an earthquake. The edges are all razor sharp, and even just brushing against the walls will draw blood. Fighting in the halls is fraught with danger, and purposefully pushing opponents into the walls deals an additional 1d6 damage.
Reflection Forge
Once a forge that concentrated the refracted light through the prism which was then used to craft magic items, the forge is now damaged and fractured – the light no longer concentrating properly as it once did. However the forge servant is still here, broken and shattered. When the forge is disturbed, the pieces of the servant reform into a mirrored golem to defend the forge from intruders.
Prism Chamber
A massive crystal is suspended by tensioned chains attached to the walls of this chamber. They crystal used to form a gateway to other realms depending on the colors of light directed upon it. But now that the structure is shattered, the crystal and the walls produce distorted reflections of those who enter. Stepping into these reflections can shift the traveller to another world. But most are damaged and broken, leading to shattered and fractured hellscapes.
The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 7,200 x 10,800 pixels (24 x 36 squares). To use this with a VTT you would need to resize the squares to either 70 pixels (for 5′ squares) or 140 pixels (for 10′ squares) – so resizing it to either 1,680 x 2,520 or 3,360 x 5,040, respectively.
