the Verdant Roost

Nestled against the towering oak, the Verdant Roost is a snug two-story retreat. The lower level, fragrant with drying herbs, serves as both living quarters and storage, while the compact upper level offers a humble sleeping space alongside additional supplies. The structure embraces the base of the tree – a ramshackle structure with moss-covered wood and creeping vines.

Thalindor Greenleaf, its resident, is a guardian of nature — equal parts healer, warrior, hunter, and fierce protector. With keen amber eyes and a cloak of woven leaves, they offer sanctuary to those who respect the forest’s ways, though they remain elusive to outsiders unless truly needed.

But what brings adventurers to such a pastoral scene?

The Forgotten Path.
Legends speak of a hidden trail through the forest to a lost city long ago reclaimed by nature. It is believed that only the keeper of the roost knows how to find and travel that path.

Echoes in the Bark.
An ancient oak whispers secrets in the wind, but only Thalindor can understand its warnings.

The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 4,800 x 8,400 pixels (16 x 28 squares). To use this with a VTT you would need to resize the squares to 70 pixels (for 5′ squares) – so resizing the image to 1,120 x 1,960 pixels.
