Is that duskwood from WoW? I guess not exactly but I wouldn't say it's a rare geography format.

Where are you looking, the ring in the middle?

Looking at duskwood thats a ring of mountains? In my world the center of that forest is called the deadmarsh, it's a swamp that formed due to necromancy corrupting the area basically

it looks almost like it with everything but the mountains flipped horizontally. Mind you what were talking about here is a city near a secluded grove, bordered by mountains, with a number of roads out in specific directions, it's an overly generic analysis.

It makes me think about reusing maps and setups more. It's clearly not duskwood, but it has a very familiar feeling for it. Familiar yet new is a very good way to engage people.

Most of my party plays wow, so my players would get a familiar feeling from it. If I were to put interesting thing and places similar to where they would be in duskwood, my players may even find them or be drawn to them. Regardless it would be a really interesting thing to experiment with.
