Solace Village | Dragonlance Map Pack!
🕑 Added 2024-10-28 18:38:07 +0000 UTCWelcome to Solace!
If you're like me, you grew up reading the Dragonlance Chronicles and being thrust into the adventure as Tanis, Flint, Tasslehoff, Raistlin, Caramon, Sturm and few new companions returned to the Inn of the Last Home after years on the trail. And I'm excited to bring my interpretation of that location to you!

Solace is a village set among the mighty Vallenwood trees, cradling tree homes and connecting a network of walkways that stretched across the town. Several homes also exist at ground level with a large town square in the middle.
The map depicts the lower homes, the trees, the walkways and a few curling walkways leading from the ground up to vallenwood homes, but those homes are not pictured. I've attached a few PNG tiles of homes that you can place among the trees in your game, but placing them myself on the map didn't seem to "look right", and I wanted to leave it up to you how best to represent the space.
I had a great illustrated scene created for this map, by Mondcuow:
I've also included two versions of the map:
Trees Included - This map combines a Ground layer and Trees & Walkways layer into the same map with transparent trees and walkways, giving you the best feel of the location as a while.
Ground Only - This map shows only the ground layer, which gives you a clear vision of all of the town buildings and surrounding woods without any of the overhead tree cover. I've included a PNG tile of the trees and walkways, so that you could layer these two environments in a VTT environment and your PC's could walk beneath the walkways and treetops in the village, or atop them!
If you aren't running a Dragonlance campaign, then this location would make a great village/town for any homebrew with a forest setting and include some fun features with the treehouse/walkways.
Lastly, we developed a great sprite for this map -- none other than one of the Companions, a younger version of the dwarven smith, Flint Fireforge, himself, by Sara Pregel:
I hope you enjoy the maps and the brief stroll through memory lane for the other Dragonlance fans!
