The Island of Tir Thelandira (Patreon)

People seem to like the wild elves, so I drew up a map of the island they'll be living on. The elves will occupy the left side of the island and their yet-to-be-decided neighbors will be on the right. I don't know what's going to be happening on that little island at the top, but we'll figure something out.

My wife has asked me to name the elven ruler after her and I told her I would. Don't worry, this doesn't mean we're getting a Queen Stacy or Queen Kathleen. My wife is named after Niamh of the Golden Hair, daughter of the Irish sea god Manannán mac Lir, the lord of the Tuath Dé and ruler of Tír na nÓg. So I think her name should fit the theme pretty well here.

Anyway, I thought I'd post this to see if it inspires any more ideas on who the elves might be sharing the island with. There have been some excellent suggestions and I'm planning to compile them into a vote before too long, but I want to give everyone another chance to propose some more ideas. I feel like the other civilization will probably be relative newcomers to the island, but they don't have to be.

Anyway, if you've got any thoughts on the neighboring civilization, let me know in the comments or shoot me a message!

I like the idea of horse lords, but i think they should be orcs or something like that. I like the idea of orcs having some sort of tangible culture, that culture being something similar to the nomads of mongolia. I imagine they'd have quite a friendly relationship with the elves, considering how due to their nomadic nature, they have no reason to clash with the elves who are protective of their forests. Having orcs and elves as friends intrigues me. They share the island and trade woth each other, coming together to fend off threats if that ever becomes a necessity.

I like the idea of orcish horse lords, although I think there needs to be a conflict somewhere on the island just to keep things interesting. It doesn't have to be with the orcs, but I'd need something else to be going on here. Hmm.

So the question there becomes what primal and near mythical beast do the Orcs consider a threat, and also the greatest untamable mount? What untamable beast have they spent decades trying to best? This could in fact transcend simply “You PCs have arrived, and now you must prove your worth in a Ride of The Great Hunt!” I am actually thinking possibly 2 additional levels beyond “There is a Roc who lives somewhere and we would love to tame it.” First, once we know the Great Beast (Who could definitely not be a “beast” at all), what smaller creatures exist on the island because of it. Elementals who worship a great dragon? Cultists who think the Roc is really a Phoenix under some ritual that keeps its flames doused? There can be a faction opposed to the Orcs based around this, either organized intentionally or simply brought forth be the creature’s will. The other layer? I kind of like that the Elves are not directly opposed to the nomadic or semi-nomadic peoples. So long as they are doing no harm to the elves, let them to their plains, BUT is there a smaller secret faction within the elves who oppose this? Perhaps they take issue with the need to tame this great creature, and they work subtly to ensure those hunts do not succeed. Recently they have become more bold, and are looking to undermine that whole society.

How about something Roman inspired? That would play well with the iron age British vibe of the elves- like there could be large populations of 'Romanized' half-elves living in villas alongside legionary forts and the like. You could even run a Hadrian's wall down the middle. Alternatively, go with the horse lords, but make them Saxons (it worked for Peter Jackson). I have long wanted to see what your take on Edoras would look like!

Celts and Romans would certainly be a classic theme! I like the idea of Saxon horsemen. I think a mix of cultures could be interesting as well, but I think that would be a good one to add to the mix.
