Sneak Peek: City of Glass

Added 2018-09-21 14:53:12 +0000 UTC

So I posted this on the discord and on twitter but I wanted to show everyone on here how my City of Glass map is shaping up!

All the line art is done! (Might need a few more little details on the cloud giant buildings though...)

This was a super interesting map to make and it is based on the City of Glass from the Plane of Water. Curiously there isn't a reference to the City of Glass in the new 5th edition Dungeon Master's Guide but is was a very well developed city with a ton of material in older editions. In fact in the 2nd edition book Vortex of Madness the City of Glass has an entire chapter devoted to it!

“The City of Glass, on the Elemental Plane of Water is the most famous city of the inner planes. Known as “The Sigil of the Elements”, it’s a nexus for travel through and between the wondrous planar realms, built in a pocket of air trapped between an island of ice and a glass like dome.” Vortex of Madness, Chapter 5 The City of Glass.

Although my version differs greatly from the Vortex of Madness one, it is still a domed city that drifts in the endless sea of the plane of water with a huge district for Cloud Giants, a lake district for aquatic races and a fancy palace district for Marids!
