Agathokles’ Darmouk

According to Giampaolo’s article in Threshold #16, Darmouk is the “long lost refuge of the dwarves, rumoured to be carved from living stone deep beneath Rockhome and the Northern Reaches”. It originates in the Dragonlord Trilogy novels. Giampaolo worked together with John Calvin to pin down Darmouk’s location, which they represented in this map.

The style of the map follows his Skaufskogr map from the previous month, using textures to represent the terrain in a topographic style.
