Hestmark Highlands

The Hestmark Highlands are a region of dry hills and plateaus east of the County of Sunndi, on the coast of the Aerdi Sea. It is mostly populated with dwarves and gnomes, though the recent upheavals have led to the expansion of goblinoids into the region.

The main city of the area is Dullstrand.

Factions

Sunndi

A Former province of the Great Kingdom that has recently declared independence. Has a high tolerance of all the human and demi-human races. It would like to bring The Dullstrand under its control though.

The Scarlet Brotherhood

They have recently claimed a lot of land to the south west, and seek to dominate the region.

The Great Kingdom

To the north, the remnants of the Great Kingdom seek their own domination of the region, and many of the recent goblinoid incursions are due to them.

Events

The party has finished clearing out a group of Goblins and Hobgoblins who had taken over the ruins of an ancient Suloise temple. The temple has had many occupiers, from the original Suloise, their elven slaves and also a Beholder Cult worshipping Beltar the goddess of malice.

They have rescued a monastery of Pelor from a group of Bugbears and evil Monks of the Scarlet Brotherhood, who seem to be in league with a group of goblins led by 'King Nak', as well as possibly some Drow and a Necromancer to the south in the Vast Swamp who seems to be managing it all. The party managed to kill a small dragon, then discovered that it's mummy was very upset.

Whilst making a raid on King Nak, the party are forced to escape using a plane shift when cornered by hill and stone giants. They turn up in the Seven Heavens, and are sent back just in time to rescue a town from an attack by a much of vile cultists.

The cultists dealt with, they are ready to raid King Nak again. They now have a lot more info about him (apparently the cultists were also Scarlet Brotherhood, but consider the Necromancer a renegade, so were planning their own attacks), and the Drow that are working with the goblins.

King Nak has been defeated, as has the Drow priestess who was dealing with him. They still have the Drow outpost to clear out though. They plan on finishing this job, defeating the Necromancer and then descending down into the depths of the earth to see what other Drow need to be dealt with.

Maps

Included here are some of the maps from the Roll20 campaign. These are the base maps, without the various bits of dungeon dressing added within Roll20, so in some cases stairs, tables, altars and floor markings may be missing.

Suloise Temple

An investigation into a goblin lair resulted in a discovery that it was built on top of an ancient Suloise temple filled with undead, including a demi-lich (which was left well alone).

Encampments

The following maps are each standalone. The first is of a small village, the second of a Bugbear camp and the third was a stronghold for a group of devil worshippers. Each map is 4200x3150px (60×45 squares) in size.
