DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!
I am very excited to release this gnomish submarine, known as the N.A.U.T.I.L.U.S. (Nautical Adaptive Utility Transport & Immersive Locomotion Undersea System). This submersible is designed to travel into deep waters, exploring locations otherwise impossible to reach for land dwellers (though perhaps still prudent for land dwellers NOT to reach).
The Map Pack consists of [4] PNG Tiles representing the Exterior, Top Level, Middle Level and Lower Level of the submarine, allowing you to place the vehicle on any other map that you may wish, as well as a view of all [4] levels placed in the water.

The N.A.U.T.I.L.U.S. was built by an Gnomish Inventor that wanted to be able to get closer to the larger sea creatures without drawing unwanted attention, thus the fish-like design of the outer structure. He has a team of deep gnomes that work with him on the submarine's design and maintenance, traveling with him as engineers on his missions into the deep.
I've included a wonderful illustrated scene of the submarine docked at the gnome's waterside cavern facility by Ha Art to help set the mood.
The submarine is quite large, including the pilot's chamber, gnomish designer's private quarters, common room, crew quarters, guest quarters, crew's common area, head and engine room.

HOW DO I USE THIS MAP?
If you have a nautical based adventure, then you could potentially have this vehicle be a way the party travels from A to B, whether it be to avoid detection, evade predators or perhaps because the destination is in the deep sea.
Using the PNG transparent tiles, you can place the submarine on any water map you wish to have it be part of the story. It could also be a great way for a surprise rescue of stranded or shipwrecked characters in a flavorful and interesting way that builds onto the world.
You could also use the gnomish designer as an employer, hiring the party to travel with him to a dangerous location underwater to retrieve some kind of rare object(s), or perhaps explore some new destination that affords/allows the PC's to be of use.
I hope you enjoy the setting and can use it to create some great adventures and memories!
