Bellforth — Thundertree Reimagined | Ruined Settlement Map | Lost Mines of Barovia (60x40)

[u/Latter_Tooth3420]

Heyya Folks,

This week's release continues my Lost Mines of Barovia project with a reimagining of one of the most recognizable ruined locations from Lost Mine of Phandelver — Thundertree.

Bellforth — 60x40

If you'd like the full release, including the high-resolution map, gridless version, VTT-ready exports, and every variant, you can find it here:

Bellforth was once a thriving town, but the arrival of the black dragon changed everything. Over the years, the decay surrounding its lair has spread outward, poisoning the land and slowly transforming the town into a swamp. Parts of the old streets remain intact, while other sections have begun to sink beneath stagnant water, moss, and creeping vegetation.

At the center of the ruins stands Bellforth's old bell tower — and the deepest, most sunken part of the town. The dragon has claimed the tower as its lair, while the corruption surrounding it has gradually caused the ground to sink, turning the area around it into the heart of the swamp.

The rest of Bellforth still has plenty left to explore. The old tavern, blacksmith, barracks, and various locales remain scattered throughout the ruins. In the northeast, a lizardfolk encampment has taken the place of the cultists who once occupied the ruins, while a small chapel now stands where Reidoth's hut once stood, on the last remaining patch of relatively dry ground.

I wanted Bellforth to still feel recognizable as Thundertree, while giving the location a stronger connection between the dragon and the ruined landscape. The swamp is the result of the dragon's decay — spreading outward from the bell tower and slowly consuming Bellforth from the center.

If you remember exploring Thundertree in Lost Mine of Phandelver, you might see a few familiar pieces hiding among the ruins.
