Iselda Information

Iselda is the wife of Cornifer, she was known to be a warrior capable of battle but later chose a peaceful life with her husband and although complains a lot, manages a shop. She sells maps and mapping tools which is very crucial to the player's navigation - although she chose not to join her husband, she wishes that Cornifer would come home often and fears for his safety and wellbeing. If players miss the chance to find Cornifer in a new area, players can head over to Iselda's shop and purchase a part of the map for a higher price.

• Location: Iselda Can be found at Dirtmouth
• Combat: Players may not kill Iselda.

Dialogue

Come to buy a map have you? Its really my husband you should be dealing with, but what a surprise! He's headed down below.

He'll pop back occasionally to deliver new maps for the store but I do wish he'd spend a little more time up here. I've not much interest in retail myself.

Now, let's see what's here for me to sell.

Notes & Tips

• It is highly recommended to purchase Pins from Iselda to further mark points of interests and for easy navigation.
• Once the Quill has been purchased, The Knight will be able to update the map - players will need to rest at a bench after discovering an unknown room/area for it to be updated.
