The Maw Below: Echoes of the Elder DnD Campaign Sourcebook with Foundry VTT Ready Battlemap (System Agnostic)

Set sail for a thrilling DnD campaign shrouded in mystery and dread, complete with atmospheric battlemaps of a forsaken dwarven stronghold, eerie fungal caverns, and an ancient machine temple. Your quest begins in a smoky dwarven tavern, where Julia, a trembling woman clutching a silver pendant, pleads for your aid. “My husband, Boral, sailed to a forbidden island in the dark sea, chasing whispers of his father, a master craftsman lost thirty years ago to a secret dwarven project. He’s vanished, and I fear he’s uncovered something the state wants buried. Please, find him.”

The island, outlawed by the dwarven state, is a place of whispered curses and hidden truths. Securing a vessel means navigating wary merchants or shady dealers for a creaking skiff, as the dark sea’s waves carry you to a ruined stronghold cloaked in silvery webs and haunted by skittering shadows.

Crumbling prison cells and scattered journals hint at a sinister machine, crafted by the long-lost Elders for a purpose both wondrous and terrifying. What did Boral uncover, and why does the state guard its secrets so fiercely? Venture through mist-choked caverns where luminescent fungi cast eerie glows, and twisted creatures lie around every corner.

Cryptic notes from doomed guards and scholars speak of a machine that promises salvation but demands a chilling price. In the machine temple’s alien depths, a thrumming presence awaits, its purpose tied to the Elders’ lost legacy. Will you unravel the mystery of Boral’s fate and the machine’s true power, or fall to the island’s lurking horrors?

A tale of betrayal, courage, and forbidden knowledge, packed with perilous encounters and treasures. Do you dare to answer the call and uncover the truth that could reshape a kingdom, or doom it in The Maw Below, Echoes of the Elder!

Download the Campaign Sourcebook as a .PDF!

24 pages of all the info you need to run this 3-4 session system-agnostic campaign! Note this campaign is unusual, different to my others. It only has one, HUGE 150×160″ mega battlemap (I split it into 4 so it runs on FoundryVTT). On the battlemap are marked locations of encounters and items the players can find that tell the story as a horror dungeon-crawl. If you’re unsure about whether this will work for you, read the full DnD campaign for free on my Patreon.

If Foundry VTT isn’t your thing, the battlemaps are formatted both gridded and grid-free. Gridded for easy printing, each map has a home print .PDF included with instructions at the front for how to print so it’s hard to mess up – even for beginners! On top of that, they also come with A1 or A0 poster files for printing at your local Office Depot or Staples. If you’d like to try this process before buying, download and print a free battlemap here!

As well as grid-free if you’d prefer to set them up in other VTT site or software (which overlay their own grids) like Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, Astral, EncountersPlus (for tablets) etc. They’ll work anywhere you can upload .JPEGs and each map is less than 5MB, which works great with a free Roll20 account.
