Reliquary of Whispering Steel
🕑 Added 2025-07-28 23:32:07 +0000 UTCLong buried beneath the fractured remnants of an ancient battlefield, the Reliquary of Whispering Steel was excavated to house the armaments of legendary warriors whose souls were bound to their blades. Over time, these weapons began to whisper forgotten lore and forbidden secrets, attracting those drawn to power and madness alike.
The Shattered Hall
The main entry is a once-grand corridor littered with broken weapons. Every sound here reverberates with ghostly whispers. If you listen to them they are sometimes informative, sometimes maddening. Decoding the echoes can reveal the secret door at the north end of the hall to the secret tombs beyond.
Bound Blades of the Moon
Six spectral weapons float in the air, each slowly rotating, in the circular chamber with the moon inlay on the floor. Interacting with the blades can summon the spirit of their fallen warrior to consult with – but be warned that some of these spirits will demand a deadly trial to prove one’s worth.
Seekers of the Reliquary are many. The most likely reason is to uncover lost historical knowledge from the spirits, weapons, and whispers. Others seek to recover a legendary cursed weapon that whispers tactical insights in battle. And some find themselves tasked with quests tied to the redemption or destruction of warrior souls still bound to their steel.
The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 14,400 x 19,200 pixels in size (48 x 64 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 the recommended 10′ squares) – so resizing it to either 3,360 x 4,480 or 6,720 x 8,960 respectively.
