The People of Bloomheim

Gou-kami

In Bloomheim, you will encounter a diverse array of beings. Humans have established their homes on the abundant farms and fields, while the Fossar diligently maintain the rivers' flow and safeguards their surroundings.

Within the serene flower fields resides the enigmatic Fae’len - the flower fairies. Deep within the marshes and bogs lurk the Lichenling, particularly the Humid variant!

While they welcome visitors, it can be challenging for travellers and adventurers to locate the Mistsong Himmelkin, as their villages are concealed amidst the forest mists scattered across Bloomheim.

In the mountainous regions and cities, the Gou-kami have identified significant sites to settle and protect. Magic permeates every corner of the land, ensuring that you will inevitably encounter a living Effigy, whether paired with a wizard, sorcerer, or integrated within the various communities of Bloomheim.

Editor’s Note: How Did I Create This Map?

I create the maps using the online tool Inkarnate. I'm not affiliated with or sponsored by Inkarnate, so everything I say is my honest opinion of the tool. I found it to be the best for creating both regional and world maps and battle maps, with the additional help of Photoshop and Figma to make them look older and worn. I prepared the file for printing and made sure the squares were correct according to my minis.

If you want to find inspiration for existing battle maps or try your hand at creating your very own maps, I highly recommend Inkarnate!
