Doorreisland

Doorreisland is a fictional island used in fantasy novels, role-playing games, and puzzle fiction. There is no single canonical map or history, and depictions vary between works. It is usually set as a rugged coastal island in a temperate maritime climate, accessible by sturdy ships.

Geography and environment: The island is described as 800–1,200 square kilometers in area, with jagged coastlines, fjords, and sea cliffs. Inland lie conifer forests and high plateaus, with a few freshwater lakes. The highest point, Mount Valen, appears around 1,400–1,600 meters. The climate is cool and wet, with frequent fog.

History and governance: In most works, Doorreisland is settled by seafaring peoples seeking timber and harbors. Political structures range from a town council to a loose confederation led by chieftains, with some versions depicting a ceremonial monarchy. Economic life focuses on fishing, timber, ropework, and shipbuilding, with periodic trade with neighboring islands.

Culture and landmarks: Culture emphasizes seafaring lore and crafts. Notable landmarks named in various texts include the Doorspire lighthouse, the Gate of Echoes sea cavern, and the Glass Reef offshore, though these features differ among stories and are often used as narrative anchors rather than fixed geography.

Ecology and reception: Endemic species and ecological details are fictional and vary by author. Doorreisland serves as a flexible backdrop for exploration, diplomacy and intrigue, with fans and creators adapting its setting across works.
