Darkness In Mitgardia Chapter 1

[Infernum]

"We can't miss our meeting with the Duke!" Cried one of the two men, as he hurried his pace.

"No need to worry we'll be there plenty early." Said the second man, who was beginning to grow tired of the first's constant worrying.

"This could bring our trade company up a level! A deal with a duke, I can't believe it!"

The two had been traveling for two days, from their hometown to the border Nocturnus share with Mitgardia, where they planned to meet, and do business with the duke in charge of one of Mitgardia's embassies in Nocturnus.

"We're almost there! I think the bridge over this rotten swamp this just up ahead!"

They walked for about five more minutes, until they were stopped in their tracks by the sight ahead of them. They wouldn't be doing any business with the duke today.

" The bridge... it's gone..." One of the men said in shock.

"This isn't possible, how could it have sunk into the swamp! These routes are always well maintained!"

Then they saw it. On the other side of swamp, where the bridge used to lead, there were only two remnants of the bridge. All the rest was gone. Only two timbers remained. They had the words "KEEP OUT!" eerily scratched onto them...

And under the timbers was the duke's hat...

The two Mitgardians.

The bridge.

The whole MOC.

This is the first installment of the collab between me and SK, entitled "Darkness in Mitgardia". Stay tuned for the continuation of the story, from SK!

That's awesome! I love the trans-green for the swamp, and I'm impressed that you put so much height into both sides of the ravine. Really makes it look ravine...ish? And the collapsed bridge is really clever.

[Lord Vladivus]

Great MOC! Love it!

[Gideon]

Wow! Good job with the landscaping and the figures

The photography is great as well, you've really improved a lot here in GoH...keep it up!

[HammerBro]

Absolutely stunning rock work! That fallen bridge is amazing too!

Thanks Dr. Colossus! I just took the bridge from Goblin King Battle and filled it in.

Great MOC! Love it!

Thanks Vlad!

Thanks! I think I have too! The last three shots could have been better, but they were rushed. The first two came out perfect though.

Thanks so much Hammerbro!

Very nice build, Infernum, looking forward to the continuation by SK

Great work with the broken bridge, fig posing and swamp, the hat and raven are excellent details as well

My only nitpicks would be that the terrain on the other side of the swamp looks a little odd (the way the studed and flat plates are put together) and that the first pic is a bit washed out - great job, though

[Gunman]

Beautiful landscaping and nice ruined bridge.... Lets see how SK will continue the story :)

[janatale]

Awesome! The ruined bridge is great, and I love the rock-work. Sloping landscape is always difficult to get perfect and hide all the empty gaps, and you did an amazing job with it.

[kabel]

Great landscaping, great figs and a great "cliffhanger!" (sorry couldn't resist that pun)

Anyway, can't wait to see the second installment!

[TheUtilityBelt]

I love how the rocks tilt at the edge! This is great!

[Kai NRG]

Excellent job! That rockwork is fantastic, especially the sloping terrain!

[StickFig]

Oh no! What happened to the Duke?

Great job. Even without a story line, this MOC is interesting.

[mrcp6d]

The sloping on the top of the cliffs is fantastic! I'm looking forward to the rest of this series for sure

[mpoh98]

Sweet job, the angles are awesome! Can't wait to see the second installment!

Thanks! I agree about that section. The first picture? I thought that one turned out great. . Thanks!

Thanks! The angles were tough, but fun.

[Garmadon]

Thanks! I agree about that section. The first picture? I thought that one turned out great. . Thanks!

I didn't mean the entire pic, just the back of the minifigs heads (the glare is a little distracting), as I said before though, great job on the build

[gavralcraw]

Wow! Very impressive.

Great bit of greebling with the rocks. Love the green river. And the bridge is wonderful. The skeleton is a nice touch too.

[soccerkid6]

Way to kick this off! The tilted plates look fantastic and I like the olive green/dark green/dark brown landscape

Excellent story too

Thanks SK! I really like that color scheme. . Can't wait to see your installment!

It's always interesting to see how you use the same MOC in two completely different stories.

Hey Gilbert! Nice to see you here! Ha, ha, I kill two birds with one stone.

I got chewed up for that last month, but maybe this account will give me a little more liberty... no Halhi or Brick in sight. The real reason I made it is so that I can see more of the residents' work than as a guest, though.
