The turning point in the first category above is around 1600.

Before then, there were relatively few words for a traveller’s lodging, and they form a close-knit etymological community.

The later decades of the 16th century saw a great increase in travel from England to the continent of Europe, during periods of relative peace. Some of it was motivated by the need to avoid religious persecution in England. Some was for cultural reasons.

Travelling theatre companies brought their plays abroad, and the wealthy made cultural visits, especially to France and Italy – forerunners of the ‘Grand Tour’ which would become a major part of the European social scene during and after the late 17th century.

By the 20th century, with travel becoming so much easier, we see words coming from further afield, as English becomes established as a global language

Wuxia Tavern D&D Battlemap from Czepeku

Welcome to the Wuxia Tavern!

[drmapzo]

Hello, everyone!

Despite the harsh conditions of the desert, people always find ways to make the best of their lives in it.

Take this inn, for example, a nice place where everyone can come to relax and cool themselves. A place where many stories are exchanged and many adventures can start.

Are your players ready to start a new adventure beneath the hot desert sun?

The creature tokens for this map are a Desert Sand Demon, a Fiendish Wererat and a Grotesque Monstrosity. Emerald tier gets the Desert Sand Demon while Diamond tier gets all three. In addition, Sapphire tier gets extra creature token variants.

You can see a preview of all of this week’s Patreon content here.

Thank you very much for taking a look and be sure to check out my Patreon where you can pledge for gridless version, alternate map versions as well as the tokens pertaining to this map.
