It’s been a very eventful first week on Isenwyrd. A township has been founded, homes and shrines have been built, cliffs and mountains are being named, and roads are spreading across what was only a week ago a wild frontier continent. Not to mention all of the new friendships that have been made along the way!
This new trailer by TBF Studios showcases Isenwyrd and its first settlers in cinematic style. Sweeping shots of the continent’s cliffs and valleys are paired with moments of settlers building, exploring, and carving out their place in this new age. It offers a glimpse into the early foundations of what is already becoming a living, evolving part of TAW’s story.
Challenges in finding precious ores have been notable, such as Iron, Diamond, and even Coal, with Copper ore being the most abundant ore on the continent.
“We’re in the Age of Copper!” is a common phrase on the tongue of Isenwyrd’s first settlers.
Midnight’s Tea Shop is Now Open! Because resources are still scarce, he currently only serves Pine Tea. But more drinks will be available in the future. His shop can be found in Greystone.
Midnight kindly asks that all patrons return his glass bottles when you are finished with your drinks. Sand doesn’t grow on trees, ya know?
When the settlers of Isenwyrd first landed on its shores as Pilgrims, they all had one thing in common: the promise of Divine Favor. Every traveler carries with them the Divine Favor, a sacred text that reminds us why we toil in these distant lands:
Many settlers have already begun to heed these words, and the first shrines are rising from the soil across the continent. It is a beginning, but the land is not yet fully won. The Gods demand more than mere survival; they demand recognition.
To ensure Isenwyrd is unmistakably consecrated, we must turn our settlements into beacons. Do not settle for humble altars – expand your shrines, upgrade your tributes, and build monuments that can be seen from the furthest horizon. Let every traveler who sets foot on this continent know immediately that they walk upon holy ground, protected by the faithful and watched over by the divine.
The Burden of Time never rests. Neither should your devotion.
Since we’re almost one week in now, it’s time for our first map render of the age! Below is a low-resolution preview, as well as a download link for the full high-resolution render.

If you would like your base to be marked on the next render, please contact me with a title and the XZ coords. The next map render won’t be for about a month.
Final words
Seeing the progress that has already been made in just one week gives me great confidence for the future. The Age of Continents II is already well on its way to becoming a defining chapter for The Ancient World. Thank you all for your efforts and participation!
