Blufiji Posted February 2, 2016 With the fall of most of Kaliphilin to the Desert King, The High Council has resolved to hold on to all of it's remaining outposts, no matter how small. The Lonely Watch is such an outpost. Located southwest of Gorr, it serves as a small resupply station for council forces and insurgents still resisting the Desert King in the Spice Islands. The outpost sits upon a spit of land within a small atoll and is mostly self sufficient, using a small raft to skim the shallow waters for fish and crabs, fruit from the nearby islands, and using barrels and containers to collect fresh water from the frequent storms. Supplies, along with fresh soldiers, arrive from the city of Barqa once a month and include comfort items, such as wine and oil and of course gossip. 3-5 soldiers serve one month stints on the island, and pass the time sparring, sleeping, hunting and watch duty over the vast Southern Ocean So, I have been wanting to do an "edge of the world" type build for a while now, and this seemed perfect. I'm taking to a break from Nocty before gearing up before the next challenge, so the next two builds will probably represent Mitgardia and Avalonia respectively. As always thanks for looking! And I hope Gideon doesn't mind me borrowing his troops... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blufiji Posted February 2, 2016 Thank you all for the feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it. The best part of this to me was building the palm trees, they are based off of trees found in the California High Desert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exetrius Posted February 2, 2016 The vision your backstory creates is something to dream of by itself! The build is fantastic, flawless! The flora is definitely a highlight and something I think is notable too is Sand Green as ground cover colour, very nice. Outstanding build overall :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacob Nion Posted February 2, 2016 It's great that you saved some time to return to Gorr. I loved your depiction of the isle during the civil war. Those mocs had bee some of your strongest entries to the civil war. Egde of the worlds fits. It's exotic and gives me this feel of distant shores in the far southern ocean that most Nocturnians never have heard of. The architecture has a Gondorian touch to me. I really like that. Now I'm excited what you will show us for Avalonia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garmadon Posted February 2, 2016 Excellent build Blufiji, fantastic work with the foliage and undergrowth, and the tower does not disappoint either! The trans-clear around the border is a great addition as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon_S Posted February 2, 2016 Lovely tower . Those fancy oriental arches with the two windows behind them give a fantastic look! And of course, Tatooine makes a great doom. The landscape around it is also very nice, I'm especially fond of your unique palm tree design. It's always good seeing people trying something new and achieving great results . Great job, keep up the good work! Greetings Simon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
