This map took a long time to make! I wanted to create a map that incorporated more vertical elements. In my efforts to do so, I ended up making this castle six stories tall. It was a lot of fun to make, and I can't wait for a chance to run this map in game.
The first floor is pretty standard. You can see right away that I labelled some rooms of the castle. DMs can choose to abide by or utilize these labels. (Let me know if you want me to post an unlabeled version!) I have also shaded the inside, to show that the Garden House would have a skylight.
Here's the second floor. I blurred out the first floor so it's easy to tell which floor what walls are on.
On this floor, we can see that the majority of the area is actually outside, on top of the castle, exposed to the sun. There's also a ballista mounted on the wall for defense.
This floor really only consists of the two towers.
The fifth floor nears the top of the castle. We can see here a second ballista mounted on the wall of the outdoor staircase.
And here we have the very top of the castle. I think this area in particular would be great for a climactic fight.
I hope you enjoy this map, and that it finds some use in your games.
