So!
This has been a map I've been rather proud of for some time. This was made back in March/April of 2016 for the sake of an rp that a dear friend of mine had pulled together, called Forsaken Lore. (http://forsakenlore.boards.net/ was our website, design and art (c) Yodeling Lions of deviantArt/Juxtaposed of FeralHeart) This roleplay, sadly, did not last for long. However, I felt that as the download is still available and it's my work, I can make it open to the public for exploration and potential roleplay! There are many screenshots to show, so be prepared!
This map has a very medieval type of theme to it, what with the music and the whole fantasy element. It is recommended for human and anthro themed roleplays to take place, but there is no limit to what you do here! Roleplay what you want, where you want to! It is open for all uses! The download can be found below!

Forsaken Lore (Main Map)
The main attraction! Where all the action takes place, where it all goes down and the heart of it all lies.

This is where you enter. Below the falls of the town, where the statue of a howling wolf sits tall.

You've climbed the vast hills, and are now above the site of the falls! Before you lies the town, across a steep drop in which you must go around.

The town! You've crossed the stone bridge successfully and are now inside the high walls of the well-protected town. You're in luck, too, it always looks its best at night!

The town seems pretty big. Can you navigate it?

There's so much to explore! But that's good, it means plenty of room for everyone!

One of the many areas of the town. This is part of the square, where the local fountain sits. Fireflies dance around it, while plants grow lusciously around its edges.

It's a rather large, but bountiful fountain. It's a welcoming piece of the town.

What's this? A temple? And in the background, a rundown old home??
(http://i.imgur.com/udKsgFj.png)
Inside the temple is very... eerie. But warm. It holds an ancient aura to it, all while being welcoming and a well-respected piece of town.

Here lies those we loved and lost. A graveyard for those who have passed on, but are never forgotten.
(http://i.imgur.com/f9QM9qN.png)
OMG! You can walk through the doors!
(http://i.imgur.com/iJdYBZf.png)
Beds? Wonderful and warm!
(http://i.imgur.com/s999ywS.png)
Stray cats wander the streets, but they're so lovable!
(http://i.imgur.com/pq1eXBG.png)
Sheep too???
(http://i.imgur.com/j8hwX31.png)
Here is the main home! Surely the ruler of the town would reside here, in the furthest reaches?
(http://i.imgur.com/zN4lWUS.png)
Of course! In their very own room, lies the portal to the Forsaken Maze... Linked to Frozen Lore. Which way will you go? Frozen Lore first, or the Maze?

What's this? The magical forest? It's deep within the forest of Forsaken Lore, glowing bright at all hours of the day. It's most magnificent at night.

Giant plants!!!
(http://i.imgur.com/PDZ3fm9.png)
Almost everything glows! The crystals, and plants!
(http://i.imgur.com/s5NDrzU.png)
In the center lies the sacred tree--the tallest one in the forest, and the most pure.

View of the forest from the bridge... but wait, this isn't the stone bridge. Where's this go?
(http://i.imgur.com/17ncGSE.png)
The path to Frozen Lore lies ahead! Beware entering, as there are many more trials than just the constant frozen winds....

Bones??

A body!

The way out, back home! But, only in the forest.
(http://i.imgur.com/3hKckf2.png)
Getting farther from the forest back home...

Watch out for the steep crevices! You can get stuck!
(http://i.imgur.com/CFQ5VVr.png)
Always such a dark sky, and strange lighting...

The maze?
Forsaken Maze
(http://i.imgur.com/c67XUB5.png)
Only the bravest cross through here!

Or if you just... have good memory?

And a deep love for mazes....
SOME NOTES
* It IS going to be laggy for regular working computers! It can be tolerable with turning off water reflection and turning view distance to 0. Otherwise, perhaps removing OlliesParticles.fho could help some. It will take away the "pretty" aspect of some places, but if it helps it helps. You will also get bad tokens!
* The forest DOES HAVE FLAWS. MANY FLAWS. I know this. I didn't bother to root a lot of trees into the ground so they float some, and it's pretty barren--all for the magical part of the forest and the town. Those are the main points of the map and have a lot of lag on their own, so I kept the forest to a minimum. Not to mention I would imagine a lot of rp takes place in the town and in the magical part of the forest, so???
* No, I cannot make this private. I deleted the folders from my FeralHeart a while back, and so I cannot edit it. It is how it is. Maybe someday I'll remake it, but today is not that day.
* I made the maps! Height maps and mask as well! (except for the maze, it was found online)
* The Frozen Lore and Forsaken Maze maps were used for the sake of plot and character development. In the roleplay that we had for this, the maze was used as a way for two partners (a human and their animal/anthro partner who were soul bound) to prove their worth as soldiers. They were given three days to escape the maze (by choice of the players! They could either try the maze and fail for character development, or e spam + prnt sc through the whole thing to make it), as well as Frozen Lore. After the complications of the maze, they must bear the cold, harsh winds of Frozen Lore, and avoid the possessed, evil spirits that lurk there and kill many who traipse into their land. After escaping into the forest of their home, they must hike to the town and tell of how they made it out. Judging on how well they did with certain weapons and strategies they would be placed in certain parts of the military. Other than these reasons, those two maps don't have much purpose, unless you find your own!

There is no doubt you have put a lot of work into this,
the maps are incredible! Medieval times and fantasy are
among my absolute favorite themes, so that is a huge plus.
I am very sorry to hear about the roleplay, it is always a shame
to watch them come to an end. Thank you for sharing this map with
us, I cannot wait to see it all for myself! It is beautifully made and
I especially love the magical forest. I applaud you!
You are an excellent map maker.

I agree with the others, this map is awesome. Don't worry too much about the trees not being rooted into the ground, it's understandable. xD
