Iserdia in a strict geographic/climatic definition (blue) and a more extended version (teal) .

Iserdia is a historic county and region of northern Elwynn's northern part. Known for its cold and barren climate, it was settled by Bovic missionaries and Tapferite immigrants in the 1530s. Today home to the Bovic population of Elwynn. Iserdia's culture is influenced by its Bovic background and cold climate.

The Tapferites first moved to Elwynn from Natopia during the reign of Duke Harald of Froyalan, settling mainly in the newly founded city of Smjörkyr. When Nathan Dariolin became leader of Iserdia many Tapferites also moved to Glenfiddich and Frieden. A community of Tapferites also live in Eliria following Nathan's reign as duke. The community expanded during Nathan's reign as prince of sovereign Elwynn. Some Tapferites have relocated in recent times to the city of Erion in western Amokolia.

Tapferites represent a combination of several Natopian ethnic groups: Mehl, Haas, Athlonic, and Draconian. Today they are culturally distinct from other Elw or Natopian groups. They retain some elements of Natopian traditions such as serving bagels and juice at public events, upholding the Bovic faith, and retaining a futuristic aesthetic in apparel and architecture. They have adopted Elw names for themselves and mainly speak Elw.
