This post contains spoilers if you look at the maps. Fair warning
When it came time to rebuild Citadel Drezen, my PCs went a little overboard with Knowledge (engineering) checks, make whole and stone shape. They reshaped entire rooms and hallways to suit their needs better.
The citadel's layout is mostly the same, but some minor changes were made for convenience or to fit the things they wanted (or thought should have been there in the first place). One of the major changes is that the entrance to the dungeon no longer requires guards, workers, and servants to walk through the potentially sensitive Planning Room.
I spent a few hours photoshopping their changes, as well as removing all the rubble and repairing damaged areas. I figure this might be helpful for other DM's who need a map of the non-ruined citadel at the beginning of Book 3. Seriously, 75 years and not a single person living there could cast make whole to spruce the place up? Lazy cultists :)

Awesome work!
Do you perhaps have a map of the original citadel without all the rubble and with no evidence of the stairs down, like the map that Aron Kir should grant the heroes with before their entrance?That would be really helpful, as I don't have your skills with editing images.
Thanks!
Sure, no problem. Probably should have made this version to begin with, come to think of it.
Here is the unmodified citadel, as it exists on Aron's map and before its fall 75 years ago. Note that I had to make some assumptions on where some walls and doors should be, and it may not reflect exactly what Paizo's cartographer intended. This is especially true of the tower's second floor, which had to be totally rebuilt.

And here's the city of Drezen once it's been cleaned up and some of the ruined buildings have been rebuilt.
Again, some assumptions had to be made, some roads redrawn, and in some cases entire city blocks replaced. 75 years without upkeep will really take its toll on a town.** spoiler omitted **
Awesome work!! Still in book one but working on the maps. tried using paint and photorazor to blow it up so can print it but having no luck(lack of skills). You didnt happen to have also blown it up for printing and willing to share did you? Will be giving my players your before map so Thanks!!

An ancient thread Necro, but dead links and a lack of photoshop skills have me scouring the internet for a rebuilt map of Drezen for use in books 3-6. Does anyone know of somewhere the referenced maps are still available, or if there are other openly-available maps of the citadel rebuilt/refurbished?

I expect that what you are looking for in terms of Derzen is these two map images, created with Inkarnate by redditor u/IXMandalorianXI
They are located here Derzen Citadel and Derzen Dungeon. If not, they are still great maps!
