This is a map I made for a D&D game I play in featuring the world setting, Elysia. If I recall the lore correctly for the setting, Elysia was something of a prototype, one that was left unfinished in the end. Like a game that never actually left Beta testing and was released as is (like most modern day AAA games amirite).
The map is highly inspired by a map found in Dover Castle that is a recreation of an older, 12th century map. The Angels that adorn mine are based on those found in D&D, including Deva and Planetars.
The monsters on the map are, likewise, based on those found on that same map. Though with a bit of a slant for the game.
I plan to use this same map frame for other things as well. Maybe for the Eberron or Faerun maps.
Great work on the map! I find the orientation of the cardinal directions very interesting. My first thought was that is how 12th century maps used them, but I couldn't find any with the cardinal directions on them. What caused you to rotate them like that?
