Description

Hey everyone! Lovebringer here.

I’ve just finished a new map set that I’m really proud of, and I wanted to share a piece of it with the community.

# The Vibe:

Imagine your party trekking through a **Scorched Canyon**. The wind is howling, whipping sand against their skin, and the sun is absolutely brutal. They find a small, abandoned settlement buried under the dunes. It looks like a perfect spot for a long rest, right?

But at the end of the canyon, there’s a massive archway leading into the rock. Inside? The **White Fount**—a stunning hall of white marble and gold. It’s cool, quiet, and ancient. But as every GM knows, "quiet" usually means "roll for initiative" or "something is about to break."

# Tactical Fun:

* **Verticality:** The canyon has multiple "balcony" levels and a guard tower. Perfect for rewarding your players who invested in Athletics or Misty Step.
* **Environmental Hazards:** In the temple, there’s a central canal and a mysterious pedestal.
* **The Twist (Full Version):** For those using the dynamic version, there’s a **second phase**. Once the players trigger the mechanism, the "White Fount" lives up to its name—water floods the halls, rushes out into the canyon, and turns that beautiful sand into a muddy, difficult-terrain nightmare while the temple starts collapsing!

# 🎁 What’s in the Free Pack?

I’m giving away the **High-Res PNGs** of both locations in their "Dry/Pre-Flood" state for free! Perfect for a classic desert encounter.
