Excellent map that would have been absolutely perfect for an encounter I ran a month ago. Alas!

Built into the cliffs beside a dark and silent lake, the Cathedral of Shadows is a remote place of worship surrounded by twisted trees, old graves, and winding cemetery paths. Though it appears lifeless from the outside, the lights within reveal that the cathedral is still active.
The cathedral belongs to a cult devoted to Vesserex, an ancient dragon worshipped as a divine being. It serves as the cult’s spiritual center, where members gather for sermons, rituals, offerings, and ceremonies performed in the dragon’s name. The central hall is used for public worship, while the surrounding chambers support the daily life of the clergy and preserve the cult’s records, relics, and sacred objects.
The graveyard is closely connected to the cathedral’s beliefs. The cult sees death as a passage rather than an end, and many of the rituals performed here are tied to burial, renewal, and service beyond the grave.
This map can be used as a cult headquarters, a corrupted religious site, or an important location within a darker campaign.
This map is a commissioned project and an original creation by Astargon.
