Into the frozen lands we trek...
High in the snowy mountains lay a cave near a frozen river, shrouded in darkness and rumored to be the home of a terrible winter beast. A local hunter claims the beast killed half of his sled dogs and nearly consumed him before he managed to escape. He tells of its terrible howl that echoes off the mountain walls, and the monstrous glare of its red eyes in the dark. When pressed how he managed to survive such a beast, he credits his brave sled dogs and grows silent and sad.
The Map Pack contains the main mountain scene, as well as PNG transparent tiles of the cave interior with [3] variations. Everyone receives a Clean version and the Yeti lair, while Tier 3+ receive a Bandit Lair variation.

We have a great illustrated scene of the mountain cave, by Ha Art, to help set the stage:
Here is a view of the exterior map:
The cave has a few transparent PNG Tiles associated with it, depicting the cave interior to be used to support whatever narrative you want, whether it houses a magical item, a creature or perhaps something else.
Here is a Clean version:
And a version of the Yeti Lair:
How can I use this map?
My primary idea for this map is for a Random Encounter in a winter/mountain location, allowing for customization to your party's level and needs.
The cave might house a terrible creature menacing a local village, or be the resting place of a frozen hero the PC's have been searching for, or perhaps even a hideout for a gang of bandits residing in the mountains. How you play the scene is up to you, and there is room both inside and outside for some good social and combat encounters.
We have a great sprite illustration for the Yeti, by Katsudon Art:
And a new offering I am considering for future Map Packs -- an included Yeti Creature Card for you to use, if you so wish. I know some of you enjoy getting an idea of what the creature's stats might be like and thought this would both make use of the Morvold Creature Generator, as well as give you a usable resource for your table!
Let me know what you think in the comments!
I hope you enjoy the setting and can use it to create some great adventures!
