The Stonestead - Patrons' Edition
🕑 Added 2023-04-02 09:50:29 +0000 UTCThe Stonestead is a broch. They're a real thing and there are a bunch of them in Scotland. I drew this particular broch for the island of Tir Thelandira, whose wood elf inhabitants have a distinctly Celtic-flavored culture.
The Stonestead is the elves' first foray into large-scale stone construction. Built to defend a gap between the northern and southern parts of their forest, it's meant to ensure that, should the Dhasran colonists or their mercenaries decide to march on the elven lands, they have to either fight their way through the fort or venture into the woods, where they'll be easy prey for elven archers and ambushers. Neither option is great-- but, of course, that's the idea.
I've received quite a few proposals for new locations for Tir Thelandira. If you're a patron who's got an idea you'd like me to add to the ballot, you've still got time to shoot me a message. Just to recap, the proposals are for either the location marked "1" on this map OR the swamp to the east of Oakenhold. I'll be posting the first vote in a few days.
Next up is an East Asian-style village built into a cliffside. This picture should give you an idea of the sort of thing I'll be drawing. Personally, I think that's nuts. I mean, how is that a real place? What happened there? I don't know, but I'm glad it did. Because that's awesome.

Glad you like it! I think I can manage that. It shouldn't be much trouble to draw in some patches of snow here and there.

Incredible as always. Any chance of getting a frozen/winter "version" of that cliff village? I'm running a Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign, and had a plotline planned with cliff-dwelling lizardfolk suffering through the winter, and that would be PERFECT for that. Thanks for the great material!
