Dungeons and Dankness Part 16: Before the End

I think that some of my best content work has come out of this class.  I was given the opportunity to go pretty wild with the stories I wanted to tell, even if we didn't have time to play them.  Perhaps the most valuable lesson I learned for writing interesting content is look for inspiration outside of D&D.  If we emulated standard D&D tropes and cliches, our mod would have been the most derivative thing ever.  Luckily we had the Inner World as a jumping off point, because it is such a weird and fantastic place.  
I started off wanting to emulate middle and far eastern cultures, but I think I tried to be too close reality.  I'm glad that we instead with something a lot more creatively stimulating.  Below is my original map for my mod idea.
