Book IV Prelude Challenge: Category B: How to Play the Old Tusk Horn

[Simon_S]

Far in the frozen north of Mitgardia, the people once lived in constant danger. They never knew what to expect next. Danger was never far. Raiding Orc parties. Wild animals. Ice cold storms suddenly appearing out of nowhere. So the hunters who lived in the harsh wilderness came up with an idea. They took a mammoth tusk and carved a beautiful ivory horn out of it. At first, it was blown only as an alarm to warn the folk of danger. But with the time, people began to play the horn because they liked the sound. Soon, its deep tones made everyone feel at home, from the poorest farmer to the riches noble. That's how the Old Tusk Horn became a symbol of Mitgardia.

Today, the richest parents send their children to music school. There the old Bard Runar - with small braids in his beard - shows the children how to play the Old Tusk Horn. Carefully they carry the heavy instruments into the music room. White a lot of patience, the bard teaches them and keeps this old tradition alive. 

 

 

And here some flooring because it took so long 

Looks like I'm the first for this category, but somebody had to open it hehe . I actually didn't expect to have any time to build for this contest. But today afternoon and evening were still free and so I found some time to spontaneously build this one. It was such a cool challenge and building for the guilds again felt great. Thank you for the challenge! Now I'm really looking forward to Book 4 .

 

Thank you for looking! Simon_S

Lovely build! I love the concept of Mitgardian music culture with ties to its wild past 👍

The details in the build are just top notch, great use of the small footprint.

This is such a cool build, Simon! The Mitgardian tusk horns are a neat concept. Runar looks like he enjoys his job. Does the cat get to learn how to play the old tusk horn? That floor looks like it must've been a headache to build, but the result is fantastic. I really like the cheese slope mosaic on the door and the border, which, while simple, works really well.
