Schreeuwwitje Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Hi Guys, This is my second MOC in the Greylands story. I have build a small one just to provide more story. I hope you'll enjoy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1.1: Snip's Plan Thinking about his mission ahead, Snip finally arrived at his safe house. He was sure that the captain overlooking the city had seen him, so he took a different route to shake off some unwanted shadows. The streets in the Dark-District were very narrow as all scum, low-life, travelers and other undesired persons lived there. The houses were built in such close proximity to each other that opposite neighbors could shake hands from their attic windows. As Snip stood in front of his door he checked his surroundings and then pulled the lever above the door instead of the doorknob. This lever was the only way to open the door; a built-in safety to avert thieves and other riffraff. Once inside Snip lit some torches on the desk with his tinder-box. The small chamber lightened up. He hang his clothes and weapons on the wooden manikin and walked further in the room. He looked briefly in the mirror and smiled at his reflection. His dark eyes and half-long brown hair were always admired by the lady-folk. His charm was part of his arsenal and he knew it. 'Back to work' he mumbled, taking a last look. His desk was full of maps and letters with all the information he gathered in the last few years. Next to the desk was a big concrete model of the city on the wall. The city was built as a circle. With the citadel in the middle, five walls stretched out to the defense wall surrounding the city. These five arms, each containing its own gate, separated the five districts of the city. The Dark-District functioned as a buffer for the rest of the city. The Craft-District was built at the left side of the Dark-District. Here all craftsman lived and flourished with their respective jobs. In the northwest of lies the cities Elite-District. All mages, high-ranking officials and advisors lived there. This district was also known for its clean streets and managed foliage. The northeast was known as the Market-District. All of the cities food was grown and sold there by vertical farmers. The last district was the Free- or Labor-District. This district was inhabited by folk who had a general job and could pay for an average house. Most of them consisted of soldiers, farmers and craftsman. To navigate the upcoming journey to the citadel Snip attached a string to the citadel forming a path through the city to his house. He had carefully chosen his route, depicting the hurdles he needed to take. He had to take the gate from the Dark-District into the Craft-District and from the Craft-District into the Elite-District. To take the last gate from the Elite-District should prove to be the most difficult task, except from stealing the jewel of course... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More pics @ https://www.flickr.c...157654745440943 C&C is welcome Quote

LegoPercyJ Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 This is spectacular! All the details are amazing! Great story too! Quote
LittleJohn Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Excellent build! The wall texturing is great and I like the furniture Quote
MiloNelsiano Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 This sounds like an interesting story. It might fit in the Guilds of Historica. I started with a story i had made up for a civilization, found a spot for it, and worked it in. I would recommend thinking about it at least! Quote

But I am thinking about creating MOC's for each district and ofc the citadel. This is spectacular! All the details are amazing! Great story too! Excellent build!

Ghehe ok I am going to think about it, but I would like to finish my book first, or at least finish a few more chapters. This is spectacular! All the details are amazing! Great story too! Thanks to all for the nice comments! A new "small" MOC will be up soon, depicting yet another part of the first Chapter Quote
