Isa Dorei - Settlement Map
🕑 Added 2021-02-07 21:22:49 +0000 UTCDeep in the Twilight Forest, lies the jewel of the elven Kingdom of Calenoth, Isa Dorei. Meaning The Weeping Rock in common, the Isa Dorei is the only large city in the Wood Elven realm and seat of The Throne of Thorns.
Though it is the political and cultural heart of the Wood Elf race in Taritha, the city stands in opposition to the rest of Calenoth. Indeed, living in Isa Dorei is considered a duty rather than a privilege, a sacred commitment to preserving the Asari way of life against all that might threaten it. While the majority of the population live in woodland glades and small villages suspended in the canopy of ancient trees, Isa Dorei stands atop a sacred spring that flows throughout the city. Not only nourishing the many trees and fountains of the city but the elves themselves, the sacred water allowing the inhabitants to grow anything they might need to live in their own gardens.
All however is not well, the growing need for warriors to fight the Demonic incursions in the south of Calenoth has left the city depleted with those few that remain needed to work ceaselessly to aid their absent kin.
Encompassed by a wall of living thorns and punctuated by giant Sentinel Trees, the city, though weakened, stands defiant against all threats. Protected by ancient and powerful magics laid upon it by the Spirits of the Forest themselves during the Time of Tears, the dutiful Watchers stand ready to act as the last bastion of hope for the Wood Elves should the Demons triumphant break through.

Hi All!
Welcome to the Elven City of Isa Dorei. This is the first full map release of February, and the first settlement map of 2021.
I originally had the idea for this map during our Silmarillion Theme at the end of the last year, as I was inspired by the city of Gondolin from Tolkien's works. However after initially starting it I just couldn't make it work and decided to shelve it for a while.
I'm really glad I ended up coming back to it because I'm very pleased with the way it came out. I hope you guys like it to!
Isa Dorei is the capital of the Elven Kingdom of Calenoth that was released a few months ago so hopefully it will fit in nicely for all those using that map.
Variations
I have seven different version of this map for you all, as well as the Core Map we have, Night, Autumn, Winter, Sepia, Black & White, and for the first time Feywild!
What else is new?
In an effort to declutter our Patreon Page and hopefully bombard you with fewer emails every time something is released. Rather than posted four separate posts per release, I will only post one.
That one post will contain links to a Master Post for each tier, not unlike The Cartographer's Archive Post, that will be updated with all future releases going forward.
With that in mind please find your tier links below:
Initiate Mapmakers $1
Journeyman Surveyors $3
Master Cartographers $5
And to all you new comers...
