I was going to use these areas in my future persistent world, but have decided to go with a different setting. The areas I'm not going to use, I really didn't want to delete them forever. I put a lot of time and effort into designing them. I didn't want to throw away all that hard work. So I thought maybe the community could make use of them.
These areas are very detailed, and most of them are connected transition-wise. The only two there not connected is the castle, and tavern. I've uploaded them individually because the file size of all of them together was just too big. (Ranging up to 77mb) So I zipped them up individually. I've included screen shots so you can get an idea of the way they look before you download them.
The only thing these areas need, are doors, and creatures. I've already added sounds, lights, and visual effects. (See my VFX Pack) I hope you enjoy them as much as I did creating them. Feel free to change anything in them. Some of the areas have names to them, as well as map notes. But at least the construction work is done.
An Inn & Tavern. Its all in one area, I don't like zoning so I keep things together. Includes a bar, stage, fire place, inn rooms. Most of it is decorated, except for a few key spots.
Thank you Over My Head, for such kind words. You make me want to contribute more areas! All of your posts have truly encouraged my creativity, and I do plan to release a new pack of areas with the release of my single player module I've been working on, entitled "Rhydin Adventures." _________________________ AKA: GuardianofLore.

Thank you for sharing these areas, as they are really unique and pearls of beauty. I am not fond om them all, especially not the inn as I think it is too somber, I prefer something more cheerful, but your other exterior areas, especially then your rural exteriors are fabulous! I will definatelly use these, and am sure that players will be too fond of these. When it comes to placing the placeables I find that there isn't anything more outstanding than others on the nwvault. But when it comes to texturing your surroundings, I can only say: 'Waw!'. Your hills and the way you textured them, the streams that flow through the surroudings, they are all fabulous. Thank you again for contributing these oustanding areas, and I am definatelly sure players will love roaming around your areas. Yours sincerely,
Over My Head

Wow... these are great areas! I'm looking at adding them to my campaign just because they are so nice looking and will take very little effort to incorporate.
I may be old fashion, but i like symetric designs. Its the steady rthym I admire most in structure. Random design is pretty too, but its hard to make it realistic enough. _________________________ AKA: GuardianofLore.
Oh wow, I'm surprised to find my pack here is doing so well. Providing inspiration, and different techniques.. I'm just glad I didn't trash them. If I make any more areas, I'll be sure to post them here. And knowing how much my mind changes, that "if" is really a "when.." ..lol _________________________ AKA: GuardianofLore.

You are very talented, nice work on the terrain and on condensing a lot into smaller areas without making it feel crowded.
I also learned more about the toolset by simply examining and tryting to change some of the outdoor areas. Thank you for offering these up to the vault.
Took a look around in the toolset of these areas... very good in deed. keep up the good work.. I got some inspiration and ideas from your stuff. If i ever create a PW i would consider your stuff to be a nice addition to my own. I haven't even played the game just love to build stuff and wander around the maps...

Very good areas... I'll run them a couple of times and may actually come to use altered versions on the upcoming SAGA. Good going! _________________________ ========================

I´m not going to use these areas myself, since I'm building my own, but I must say, by the look of the screenshots, these areas of yours are very beautiful. I can sense the details along with the mood in these, and I truly hope someone will pick them up in a module for use. I'd love to travel there some time. Magnificient areas as far as I can tell from the screens... _________________________ "That is not dead which can eternal lie and with strange aeons even death may die".
