Monument 01 by Novaminis

The obelisk has stood here longer than the city around it — its smooth stone faces etched by centuries of wind, its shadow falling at an angle no sun should cast.

• ✔ Resin terrain piece, printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ Supplied unpainted — primes and paints easily
• ✔ Compatible with standard 28mm–32mm miniature scales
• ✔ Works on the gaming table and as part of a display diorama

This obelisk monument is a tall, tapering stone pillar set atop a solid square plinth with a raised moulded base — the kind of structure that belongs in the centre of a forgotten plaza, a desert necropolis, or the overgrown grounds of a collapsed empire. The render shows four viewing angles, giving you a clear sense of the slender proportions, the fine stone texture across the shaft, and the clean stepped plinth beneath.

As a scatter terrain piece, the obelisk functions as a natural landmark, line-of-sight blocker, or narrative focal point. Is there an inscription on the side that none of the party can read? Does touching it trigger a trap — or a blessing? Does it hum faintly at midnight? That's your call as the DM.

This is the first variation in the Monument series from Novaminis — a simple, versatile piece that earns its place in any terrain collection. Paint it weathered sandstone for a desert ruin, cold grey granite for a Shadowfell plaza, or streaked obsidian for something more ominous.

A great fit for adventurers who:

• Run desert, graveyard, or ancient civilisation encounters
• Want a strong vertical terrain element to break up flat gaming tables
• Need a narrative centrepiece — a quest objective, a ritual site, or a mysterious marker
• Are building display dioramas that call for classical or ancient architecture
• Love collecting scatter terrain that works across multiple campaign settings

Encounter Hook

The party emerges from the dunes to find a single obelisk standing alone in the wastes — no ruins, no road, nothing for miles. The rogue spots finger-width holes bored into the stone at chest height, evenly spaced, and packed with what might be incense ash. Someone has been here. Recently. And they marked every face of the stone with a symbol the cleric absolutely recognises — and immediately goes very quiet about.
