Smiling Satyr Tavern Map Pack!
🕑 Added 2025-09-05 01:58:00 +0000 UTCIt's time for some Harper Teleportation Portal location time. ;)
Welcome to the FIRST of these Harper Teleportation Portal locations, the Smiling Satyr Tavern, a good-quality tavern located just outside the city of Loudwater in the Delimbiyr Vale of the Forgotten Realms.
The tavern is featured (lightly) in the Storm King's Thunder module, whose cellar is the location of one of several Harper Teleportation Portals that are mentioned, but not presented in any kind of maps or form outside of documentation and Theater of the Mind.
The tavern is well-known destination for mercenaries and adventurers, with the decor filled with trophies, weaponry, suits of armor, flowing ale and a pair of animated axes that the barkeep can call up to dance upon occasion. It features two large hearths, located at either end of its expansive common room, and a cellar, which I have expanded beyond the description provided in the module to accommodate more potential uses.
More to explain below!

The Map Pack contains the following:
A day time interior map of the Smiling Satyr Tavern and its immediate surrounds, including a nearby Stables and a festive backyard entertaining area.
Tier 3 & 4 will receive an Evening variant map.
All Tiers will include a PNG tile (and gridded/ungridded) maps of the Cellar/Basement that contains a secret room with the Harper Teleportation Portal.
[2] PNG tiles representing the teleportation portal in an OFF and ON position.
The tavern features a few different locations:
Common Room - The expansive common room holds a few tables, a long winding bar and [2] large fireplaces where patrons can sit, relax, drink and be merry. Doorways lead out toward a festive back yard, the front door, a coat closet, privy and kitchen.
Kitchen - On the northern end of the tavern is a large kitchen featuring a wealth of supplies and dishes in preparation, including stews, pies, breads, meats and other meals. A large door on the eastern side stands available for wagon deliveries, while another leads south behind the bar in the common room and to the common room floor directly.
Coat Closet - This small coat closet lingers near the front entryway and contains racks for hanging cloaks, as well as a large chest, which has a false bottom that reveals a ladder leading down into a secret part of the cellar.
Privy - What are you reading this for? You know what this is for.
Festive Back Yard - A decorated back yard includes a cook fire, several chairs, a small area for throwing knives at a target, and a target dummy nestled amidst some dense brush.
Stables - Outside of the tavern is a small stables and fenced area able to keep a handful of horses hitched or bedded down for long-distance travelers.
As always, I've had a scene illustrated to set the mood, by Ha Art:
And here is the map itself, in the day time:
Below the tavern is a basement, which is most easily represented by a PNG tile:
There are also Harper Teleportation Portals in the OFF and ON position:
As with very pack, we also have a great Satyr-themed barkeep to provide the tavern with some authenticity, as well as perhaps some fun, by Katsudon Art:
I hope you enjoy the concept and can create some fun stories!

Love it. Definitely look forward to more storm Kings thunder content. My players didn't go here but they're still running around the sword Coast. They might just end up here now.
