DLA Entry Area with Portal

Post by Black Rider »

Progress post DLA Portal #1 (2025)

As written on the vault forum, I already mentioned the portal back in 2020:

This was the screen from back then:

After the release of the DLA-Overland Map, I am in the mood for the portal. So the progress so far is, that I added flames (and smoke) to all the lamps. (Here I used the Solace Exterior-lamps as a base.):

And I added a marble wall to the back of the raised portion. It looked kind of strange, when your toon stands on the back edge and looks “into” the lower “empty” part of that group:

Those white empty fields are places for god symbols. They are named in the original finding, but there were no symbols in the archives of ThriKreen. So next will be the god-symbols. I think, I found some good looking ones, which may be used…

Progress post DLA Entry Area with Portal #2 (2025)

Meanwhile I added in lights and flames for the lamps. They are the ones from the Solace Exterior tileset:

I’ve been looking and trying a lot regarding those god symbols. I was very close to get the artist, who created awesome drawings for Winterhawks books (links are to be found on this forum), to try to create them, but then RL got into the way.

But I think, I found some nice ones, which are free to use on https://dragonlance.fandom.com. This is, what it looks like:

If you look closely, you can also see, that I started to play with the portal itself. ThriKreen created some animations here and there (, which are working), but it has not been decided on a way on how to get this all together. Well, stay tuned!
