What I really like with that map is the general layout, the flow of the map. The Tomb of the Witch-King, the Necromancer’s lair and the Troglodyte lair.Īnd in the end, having to choose between three very good maps, I decided for The Tomb of the Witch-King as the winner. That didn’t really make the choice easier but after having looked at the maps for a long time there were three maps that kind of stuck out. When deciding which map I thought was the best I looked for what I would have liked to see in an adventure. I gladly accepted, and actually felt quite honoured that he asked me.įirst of all I must say that I am impressed by the overall quality that the community has, and selecting one winning piece wasn’t an easy task. I was asked by Simon to be the Judge in the latest competition (April to June 2014). This time we asked Annual contributor and accomplished fantasy cartographer Pär Lindström to be our judge. We are very happy to announce the winners of our recent “Lairs” competition. Pär Lindström writes about his style for the June issue of the Annual 2014.
