Salt Mine (40x57)- Strigovia: of Blood and Salt

*Supernatural eyes blink across the mottled trunks of the birch thickets, between which spirits flit in the darkness. The forest presses against the last palisades of the salt mine. Serving as a desperate and weathered bastion, a thick ring of salt connects a series of pillars to make a barrier of desolation keeping the forest at bay, with a palisade of sharpened logs creating an inner ring of defense. Four towers overlook the woods beyond and the mine within. Soldiers are housed in the western bunkhouse, with workers in the northern two. The camp's sole stone structure is occupied by the foreman, with the three smaller buildings to the east acting as storage sheds. A great fire burns at the center of a recessed pit, among a number of shafts bored into the barren land.*

Hey folks, I am very excited to share this piece I did for Dark Orb's new Kickstarter, [**Strigovia: of Blood and Salt.**](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dark-orb/strigovia-slavic-dark-fantasy-setting-and-adventure-for-5e)

**The entire land of Strigovia is described by one word: loss.**

**Strigovia** is a complete, **standalone** **TTRPG game** with its own original system. No 5e, no other rulebook needed. It's **Slavic Darkfolk** horror: a **low-fantasy world** of salt-walled towns, hungry forests and folklore that bites back, where your **dice are a currency you burn** through and every spell is a **Debt** the Forest comes to collect. **450+ pages** across two books, co-written by **Michał Gołkowski**, one of Poland's best-selling fantasy authors and creator of the ***Komornik*** series, with art by **Przemysław "Trust" Truściński**, the artist behind the original design of Geralt of Rivia in ***CD Projekt RED's The Witcher.***

This map portrays Salt Mine 14, a location featured in Strigovia's **140-page Quickstart**, which you can grab [HERE](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/vlc21gk18xlz4ygcvdq8s/AA-AvyIq1kEIc8D3qmeE9Xw?rlkey=jgg1pi1tkuvh4xh8yxmniaoxo&e=1&dl=0). It comes with a complete adventure and ready-to-play characters, so you can run a whole session before you pledge a single coin.
