Inspiration: Spire Temple

This image still inspires me, every time I look at it. Back when I was posting these on dndcraft.com, this is what I had to say…

This image is simply epic. If you are looking for some inspiration for the base of your BBEG, look no further. I mean, a bridge upon which a ship is sailing into the temple? If this is not epic, I don’t know what is.

This screams dungeon crawl to me. I could see PC’s spending days here over many sessions – fighting, keeping on the move, and finding little well hidden spots here and there to rest for a bit as they make their way through it. There seems to be a lot of water here, so I could see a lot of water-based puzzles and odd magic-happenings that involve water – perhaps a section where rooms are literally sectioned off with walls of falling water with archways diverting water in some areas creating doorways. Naturally there would be water elemental’s here as well.
