Mountain ranges
Ranges built from Voronoi cells layered over a heightmap.
One foundation.
Many worlds.
Elderstrand isn't a single mod. It's a shared base — combat, professions, factions, reputation, economy — with universes layered on top as separate addons. You build the world you actually want to play.
Progress
Rivers and valleys
Channels carved into the terrain, water resting at sea level.
Cliffs and slopes
Slope profile comes from the biome, not one global curve.

Three layers. Install only what you need.

The Rift
A crossroads world. A library under a torn sky, and the gateways to every other universe.
03
Addons
Separate universes with their own factions, map and items. Install only the ones you want.
