NINE SHIELDS SMOKEHOUSE & BOATHOUSE

This two-map set for the Age of Ashes Adventure Path takes adventurers into the heart of a ruined city, where tragedy and decay permeate every corner. The maps showcase two key locations—the Nine Shields Smokehouse and the Boathouse—both remnants of a once-thriving settlement now reduced to desolation.

The Nine Shields Smokehouse, a large structure once used to preserve food for the town, now serves a grim new purpose. Its storerooms remain packed with provisions, but these supplies are guarded fiercely, as captives are held here in the shadow of ruin. The air, once heavy with the scent of smoked goods, now carries the weight of despair and danger, making it a challenging site for rescue or reconnaissance.

The Boathouse, situated along the abandoned waterway, is a shattered shell of its former self. Though it once provided safe mooring and shelter for boats, time and neglect have taken their toll. The crumbling dock and dilapidated structure offer little in the way of utility, but the secrets hidden within may still hold value for those willing to explore.

Together, these maps bring the haunting atmosphere of the ruined city to life, offering rich settings for rescue missions, supply raids, or uncovering the dark truths of the settlement’s fall. Will your adventurers bring hope back to this broken place, or will the ruins claim them as they have so many others?
