This is part 2 of Chapter 2 in the tale of Erdil. It is a freebuild also to keep up the HSS-progress for Dandelume

Many changes could be made to improve this one, thanks to @jtooker for a great feedback on discord. However, haha, I honestly kept it with minor additions/changes to be able to start building for the Book IV challenge instead 😃

Storyline:
After being sworn in and fully equipped with his uniform, sword and shield from the swordmens barracks, Erdil and Dweldin made there way to the Aerima Archery Workshop. Dweldin needed to pick up his new bow, quiver and arrows crafted by the skilled members of the archery workshop. The bowyers, fletchers, stringers and arrowsmiths were all from places by the Aerima river of Dandelume- therefore they used the river in the name of their workshop. 

As the sun stood high in a tangerine sky, Erdil and Dweldin passed through the gate of Old Town and went further in to the workshop district. Large buildings for different crafts and workers towering up, merged with older stone towers, buildings and city wall. The street outside filled with life from people, carts and animals. From the inside you could here the hard work being done in rooms of wood, forges, steam, fire and hammers on anvils.

Inside the Aerima archery workshop the four sections worked together as a perfect integrated unit: 
Bowyers shaping and tillering the actual bows from yew, ash, or elm.
Fletchers making arrow-shafts from the finest birch and aspen wood and attaching feathers from geese to the shafts. 
Stringers twisting and looping sinew to perfect bowstring. 
Arrowsmiths taking heated iron and steel through fire and anvil. Forging, hardening and shaping it into various arrowheads. 

Erdil and Dweldin made there way down the street closing in on the entrance of the workshop. They could see carts with equipment for arbelists and archers rolling by under the red blooming vines. A quiver, fine bow and arrows were supposed to be waiting inside for the new archer-recruit, ordered by Duke Wifgrir himself….

That's a great build @T-86(swebrickLUG). I really like the color choices you made and the proportions of the building are great too. My favourite detail are the red vines on the left side.

Thanks man! I really enjoy making vegetation of different kind so I'm glad you mentioned the vines!
