Myths of Khoralla Intro - Immersion Studios

Here's a short introduction to Myths of Khoralla, the epic fantasy setting currently in development by the mad minds behind Immersion Studios.
There are a number of themes we wanted to follow in this - for starters, not using the "traditional" fantasy races of Elves, Dwarves, etc., but instead creating our own, making them as realistic as possible, and not defined as an entire race as "Evil" or "Good" (people are who they are... the race on the other hand...).
Then there's gods, the power of gods, how their power works, and the balance of power that stops the champions and heroes of the world just wreaking havoc everywhere (well... they probably still will, but there has to be *some* balance to it!).
This is our intro, but there is more to come. Hope you like it :)

Tower Builder - The Knight's House Paper Miniatures

Tower Builder - The Knight's House


The Knight's House is a five-story Tower protected by a small wall. It's the perfect location for a base of operations, or somewhere to rest between adventures.
 
The Knight's House is a set of printable dungeon floorplans compatible with any RPG/Dungeon-Crawl game. It can be used as a standalone gameboard, or combined with any same-scale tileset.

The Knight's House is a multiple level set, comprising 5 battle maps (each depicting a different floor)
Ground Floor (20x20) - The ground floor of the tower is surrounded by a small courtyard with stables and a jousting list, with a strong wall. The ground floor houses a large kitchen and store. 
First Floor (12x10) - This floor holds the Great Hall, where the Knight greets visitors.
Second Floor (12x10) - An armory and combat training arena.
Third Floor (12x10) - The knight's solar, with bed, garderobe, dining area, small study and chapel
Fourth Floor (12x10) - An attic bedroom for squires and men-at-arms.


The Knight's House is part of the Tower Builder range. You can put the floors in any order, or add in floors from other maps in the Tower Builder range to make custom towers.
Each Tower is associated with a different class or character type, making them perfect as a base for your character.
