Tomb of Diderius Map Pack!
🕑 Added 2025-09-30 21:53:41 +0000 UTCThis Map Pack is my interpretation of the Tomb of Diderius, the resting place of a powerful dwarven wizard that has since been invaded and occupied by a clutch of lizardmen and tribe of Yuan-Ti that avail themselves of some of the wizard's relics and power. The map is from the module Rise of Tiamat but could also simply be a dungeon in your homebrew campaign.

The Tomb of Diderius is located within a canyon pass, where a small town originated during his time of power. The town has long since been abandoned, and all that remain now are the withering bones of stone buildings, overgrown and crumbling apart.
A small path leads between a pair of massive statues that mark the entry to the tomb, which exists up a small climb on the face of the canyon wall. As one may expect with the tomb of long dead wizards, magic crawls across the surface of nearly every stone and timber, making for some interesting encounters as the party explores the location.
Another interesting feature of the location is a Divination Well, that can have some interesting uses for your party, but with a significant risk. These are the kind of artifacts that can be extremely useful and lead to the information the party seeks -- but at what price?
I had an illustration of the wizard's resting place created to help set the scene, by Ha Art:
The map features just one level, but does have a hallway tile for connecting [2] of the rooms:
The location has some interesting features:
The tomb is riddled with statues, many of which are magical and can be used as traps, riddles and other manner of interesting encounters.
As mentioned above, one of the powerful relics inside the tomb is a Divination Well, which could be a valuable resource to the party, or perhaps the reason they have come.
While the tomb's more mundane belongings have long since been looted, there are still chambers that have remained intact and offer reward.
There are a handful of additional entries into the location -- one of them is through a cavern (not mapped) between the ruined village well and a well inside the Tomb, which is said to be lurking with trolls.
As with very pack, we also have a great Dwarven Wizard Mummy Sprite whose design to pair with the map and with part of the module, as written. Artwork by Katsudon Art:
I hope you enjoy the concept and can create some fun stories!
