Description
I had a bit of free time last week... so I made these. Yes that map is hand drawn, and imo could have been made better but hey, it was my first ever try at it. The paper was made look aged with coffee and with tearing/crumpling the paper. The whole thing is hand drawn, with red and black gel pens.

The key is also handmade, sculpted with polymer clay without a mold (and there was no tutorial online anywhere so I just used my Key of Erebor pendant as an example), then after it was baked, I made it look weathered and old with black acrylic paint (just thinned the paint with water, painted the whole key with a soft brush, then rubbed the paint off with a paper towel). It's not perfect either... perhaps it will look better for the second time (yes this was the first time I made the key, too). It was much of a trial and error process, but I think it turned out okay.
