The Exiles of Elysia: Rise of the San'lorai


"For ten thousand years the San'lorai ruled,
but from the fog the Far Ones came.
Standing afore an age of everlasting dark,
the Highborn sacrificed themselves to save the flame."

Overview

This is a remake of the first and most ambitious map I created over a decade ago. Developed as part of the supplementary material for my novel The Exiles of Elysia: Knightfall, this map takes place four hundred years prior to the events of the book.

Inspired by Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and King's Field.

This map contains a full story campaign that details the efforts of Emon Peregrine, last Prince of the ancient San'lorai, in his quest to reclaim the sacred valley of Lynwen and bring his dying, scattered people salvation - or vengeance. The map is enormous and lovingly handcrafted, encompassing a gigantic and breathtaking mountain range with ancient forests, crumbling ruins, and foreboding citadels to explore. Lay claim to unique equipment blessed with the holy Light, cursed with the forbidden arte of Lifestealing, or enchanted with other magical effects. There are dungeons to conquer that are guarded by fallen heroes, hundreds of secrets to uncover, and an expansive story arc with optional quests, including scripted encounters and multiple cinematic endings based on your choices in the map!

This map is designed for solo or co-op play; no mods are required!

Stay tuned for additional updates - new areas, music, datapack updates, a hardcore mode, a speedrun challenge, and more!

Map Features

Lynwen is a massively terraformed landscape with weaving, branching, and interconnected routes, paths, shortcuts, and traps. Prepare for a densely detailed, interwoven, and cohesive world to explore with unlockable progression paths and secret areas.

This map employs a full suite of scripts, commands, game rules, and unique mechanics.

Thank you for your kind words! I tried to balance the campaign while also including a rising difficulty curve.

Roughly how many hours of gameplay would you estimate the map to be, in its current state?

Players report the main campaign as taking them 5-6 hours, and I imagine that, with all the secrets and such, anywhere up to to 8-9 hours for a solo player.

I appreciate your interest!

So Im trying to host this server on Aternos, and I think I have everything figured out but when I spawned in I was above some glass tunnle I broke down to enter this cave with assassins gear and I am able to break blocks and everything, but when I saw the pickaxes in the chest I realized I was only suppose to be able to break certain blocks with them and I was able to break stone and stuff on the walls? So am I suppose to be in adventure mode or what? (also I grabbed the loot and walked out in an area called the sanctuary, is this spawn?

It sounds like the server botched a lot of the map functionality. Try loading it as a single player world before loading it as a server map.

Spectacular map! I haven’t even gotten close to finishing it yet (I just reached the sanctuary, and am looking forward to (slowly and carefully 😜) exploring it!) but wanted to write in with my compliments. The lore, gameplay, custom elements, and geographic features are all amazing. The fact is it feels like a modded map, and it’s awesome that you managed to convey that without needing a mod.

I did notice one “bug.” It doesn’t break the game, but:
-a little ways before the first boss battle,
-in the room with the pressure plate+harming 2 arrows trap,
If you get a mob to walk over the pressure plate then when the sticky piston pulls down the block covering the dispenser you can click the dispenser and get all of those harming arrows
Not sure if this is actually a bug, as it might be an intentional help to observant players, but I will say it made the first boss more manageable.
Thank you for the stupendous map!

Sounds like clever use of mechanics to me... I appreciate your tenacity, courage, and praise very much.

Spoilers
I hope you found the conclusion satisfying. :)
