Welcome to the Underzee Palace, a luxurious pleasure palace & gambling house. Test your chances in the Hall of Eternal Fortune, observe the daily wrestling matches (we are not referring to the patrons’ usual brawls), and step into the Lotus Eater Room for a taste of the infinite heavens. Or perhaps you’re the kind to slip backstage and take a look at the underbelly of this nexus of wealth and terror?
Thoughts
High rollers may be betting more than money — think souls, memories, or time left to live.
Big glass panes don’t cut it for you? Tell your players that the glass is white plaster & hide the sea from view.
The structure is mostly accommodating for large characters! Some areas may still be cramped.
Contents
Gambling Hall: I may take a lot of risks but I tend to prefer the odds be rigged in my favor. This place is anything but that.
Cliffside Clouds: Don’t feel like an underwater gambling house? This variant sticks out the side of a mountain instead.
Dancers: A large stage occupies the main hall, for those who’d prefer something more elegant than sumo wrestling.
Low Magic: We’ve stripped out the oni-sized furniture & architecture and removed all the conspicuous glowing stuff & blue lights! It’s still a bit ridiculous but if you’re picky about what you let into your setting, this should be more compatible.
Flood: A pressure wave shattered the domes. Fortunately, there’s wards in case of flood — but is something coming through them?
Blueprints: Labeled or unlabeled to help you or your players navigate!
Day/Night Variants: Wherever applicable!
Dimensions
36”×54” wide/tall
Reminder
Thanks for reading & your support! And if you’re not already a patron, why not become one?
Notes
I am going to have to make a dungeon module proper out of this map. And the as-of-yet-unfinished Part 2 featuring the basement. I have a big pile of good ideas ... and not enough time!
Comments
What can I say, it was a good idea. It had to be done. And very oddly specific!

I specifically suggested this awhile back when you asked and now it's real 🥹 It's exactly what I had in mind and needed, I cannot wait to use this in a few weeks when we get there and I am so excited for part two. Thank you so much for using my suggestion!
