Elven Ruins Map Pack!
🕑 Added 2025-06-19 01:51:27 +0000 UTCHey guys!
We have another great collaboration with James RPG Art for a wonderful concept scene and animation on this great Elven Ruins map.
The map depicts an overgrown and long-forgotten set of elven ruins set in the woods. Once a proud and majestic community of the elves, this half-buried skeleton is all that remains of their fine buildings. Grass, dirty and vegetation claims what little remains of the village, though a few pieces have survived the test of time to reward the occasional explorer.
As mentioned, we also have a great animated scene from James RPG Art to pair along with the location, as well!
James' RPG Art makes animated scenes to help players visualise environments and add immersion and tone to your games. He has created over 300 scenes from official WotC adventures and many unique locations that are often found in a D&D adventure. He releases 4 new locations each month for his patrons.
Here's an example of the concept image:
And an example of the map itself:

The village is mostly rubble and remnants of what used to be, but there are a few interesting points of reference that could be used to weave into your narrative.
Obsidian Bird Shrine - The meaning of the statue may be lost to most, but a large obsidian carved statue depicting the head of a large bird rests within a curved stone shrine. Before it rests an altar, which may have held a book or offering.
Unicorn Statue - In another section of the ruins stands an intact statue of a Unicorn, with an offering bowl resting beneath it. The bowl seems to have held something recently, and it is unsure if elves remain, or if some other part of the fey may be paying homage.
Old Well - A half-covered old well lay in a ruined courtyard, which may contain only water or perhaps not serves as the lair of a monstrous creature.
Preserved interiors - A few of the chambers still have intact floors that have not been overgrown, with intricate carvings and symbols that may be important to those with Arcane knowledge, perhaps even serving as artifacts in and of themselves.
Rubble Piles - There are several piles of rubble heaped into corners, where PC's may potentially be able to dig and clear in search of elven relics, as perhaps they were led to believe an item of power may still reside here.
The map comes with an Evening variant, as well, for people wanting to run the location at night for a bit more mystical or spooky feel.
As usual, we have a great sprite to pair with the map, and what better subject for some old elven ruins than a Banshee, by Katsudon Art.
I hope you guys enjoy the map and can create some fun adventures and memories!
