Tzomo Though I am quite exceedingly thankful to Sir Captain Rhys for the privilege of commanding this vessel, I must say, that the prospect of writing these cursed reports does not fill me with glee.... That being said, the gods of commerce have treated us well this voyage.... Trading at the Port of Granoleon on Flickr The Port at Granoleon is perhaps the busiest place I have ever been.....so many different people, doing so many things.... Busy Granoleon dock workers on Flickr Busy Pier at Granoleon on Flickr On the way here, we picked up a new lookout....a young White Tern....I have named her Q'illu, Qillu, the adolecsent White Tern on Flickr She should make quite the companion for my little buddy, Fef'nu... Captain Tzomo's best friend, Fef'nu the skunk... on Flickr Speaking of which, Fef'nu has been enjoying visiting with Petunia....the companion of Aq'Hura, who has been an invaluable source of security and wisdom.... Aq'Hura the swordmaster and his beloved Petunia on Flickr We had the additional task of delivering home some new graduates of Master Kurosawa's Swordsman School.... Graduates returning home on Flickr Commandant Lemieux seemed very pleased with their progress. Commandant Lemieux welcomes the boys back home.... on Flickr At the far end of the pier, there appeared to be some commotion involving members of the infamous "White Glove Order." White Glove Order Official on Flickr On further investigation, we discovered a man named Lucius Córdoba was being arrested for being in possession on a "forbidden book..." \ Karmic justice for Lucius Córdoba... on Flickr Aiko: "Look, Captain... The Kings Port Advertiser! You won't believe what it says!" "Quite a Fruitful Voyage...." on Flickr Tzomo: "Hey.....do you know what they say the Queen of Corrington does with these????" Ya know what the Queen does with these??? on Flickr Aiko: "No...sir....seriously.....it says we *had* an 'Incredibly fruitful voyage'....." Tzomo: "Well.....that seems accurate.....I wonder how they know??" Fruitful Bounty on Flickr This commerce is an interesting and strange concept...but very powerful. We are able to bring others goods from our home.... Goods from Bastion..... on Flickr And in exchange, we are granted precious goods from others we could not produce on our own.... Steel Bars for Anaïs on Flickr Lumber for the Far Horizons Shipyard.... on Flickr As well as generating a small profit.... Not bad for a new Captain...... on Flickr =================================================== Thanks for visiting! Edited May 12, 2016 by Vedauwoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacob Nion 1506 posts Posted May 3, 2016 Love the action that is going on here! The vegetation under the pier is a great detail, really adds to the build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee 2863 posts Posted May 11, 2016 This is a bustling port scene and chock full of good details. Building such a big dock allows for a realistic display of people and materials. The animals are cute (well, maybe not the skunk...) and you have a diverse crew of individuals present. I'm impressed by the barrel of metal rods ("merchant bars" aye?) as a nod to realism in a young colony. The plants growing under the dock also provide a little more life to the scene. Keep it up... and have fun writing those reports! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir 7149 posts Posted May 12, 2016 I will mirror what others have said: A wonderfully lively scene, with a lot of great representations of different cargo type shown. Very well done! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentWolf 988 posts Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) I really like this build. The busy dock creates a good sense of realism. The variation of goods also makes it realistic as a true trade mission. Poor Lucius, reading all the wrong books. Though after his last escapade it is fitting justice. Edited May 12, 2016 by SilentWolf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
