On the left is a dwarven forge – they’re using water power to turn gears that pump bellows for their forges. They’re also pre-heating metal in a huge bucket in the upper portion of this map. (To see a GIF of what happens when that goes awry, click here.)
I reimagined this map with other themes in the top section of this image – the left was taken over by spiders, and is lit by glowing purple crystals. The middle has been flooded with water, and the far right has been taken over by various glowing fungi.
Lower right and left is an upcoming map of a bazaar – open day (left) and night (right.)
