With this Forest Lodge, Wullham is approaching the settlement level of a city! Wullham only needs a Royal Factory to become a 'City'! This Forest Lodge is located in one of the few forests on the island. A small family lives in this lodge: a man, his woman and their son. The man and his dog are on their way with their sheeps to the grass meadows that are abundant on the island. The son is fishing on the jetty; the woman is standing just outside and greets a passer-by. All in all a peaceful scene at Wullham. --- Build will be licensed in Wullham by @Bricksbypidy.

[COR - FB] Commodore Willem van Baarle meets Queen Annetta
Bricksbypidy posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
“Good luck, buddy!” Baron Peter Nash patted his friend Commodore Willem van Baarle on the back. "It will be fine!" Willem walked on reluctantly. On the one hand he had been looking forward to this, but on the other hand he was also dreading meeting her. According to the stories, she would be a friendly lady, but you never knew. After all, she was the heart of the empire! Like everyone in Corrington, Willem would die for her. Actually, if he looked deep into his heart, he was also a little bit in love with her... But he didn't express that of course! "Welcome to Qeens' Palace!". Willem was woken from his thoughts by an older man with a monocle. Van Baarle did not know this man, but he looked like an important advisor. “Follow me...”, the man with the monocle continued. Willem walked behind him and saw a large golden double door in front of him. The palace looked beautiful with richly decorated pillars and a decorated white marble floor. The man opened the heavy double doors and she stepped into a spacious throne room. There she sat in the distance. Beautiful, in a red dress with a golden crown, illuminated by the sunlight from the window behind her. “Queen Annette,” muttered Capt. From Baarle. He felt a knot in his stomach. 'Monocle-man' walked into the room and eventually stood next to Queen Annette. There were several guards standing to the left and right of the large hall. Willem steeled himself and walked towards Her Royal Majesty. He stopped just before the throne and bowed slightly. Queen Annette nodded with a smile and stepped down from her throne. "What can I do for you, Commodore? I have heard a lot about you. I understand that you are in charge of a large fleet. Is that correct?". Commodore Van Baarle nodded, "Yes, Her Royal Majesty, I will do everything to protect you and your kingdom." "She looked even more beautiful up close than he expected," Willem thought to himself. “Good to hear,” Queen Annette continued, “And what brings you here?”. Van Baarle wanted to shout that he was coming for her, but he swallowed it... "I have a request Her Royal Majesty. To be able to resist the skumback pirates in the future I need more ships. For this I have a higher ship-level needed... And a higher commander rank. Could you please finance this from the public treasury, so that I can add more ships to the fleet?" In this letter I request you, Her Royal Majesty Queens Annetta: - Would you like to increase my ship level by 1 level for free? (OOC: concrete: one-time donation of 500DBs and 500PIPs, for ship level 3 (35 + 25 = 60) - Would you like to promote me to Admiral free of charge?

Bricksbypidy posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Recently HMS La Belone joined the fleet of Commodore Willem van Baarle in Mesabi Landing. After a fierce battle Commodore Van Baarle needed more ships to join his private fleet to defend Corrington's land and sea against some scumback pirates. Now, another ships arrived at the outer harbor of Mesabi Landing. It is the mighty HMS Black Prince. This class 7 vessel is another addition to the growing fleet. Captain of the HMS Black Prince, Harford 'The Shadow' Hayhurst walked across the jetty to the harbor master. The harbor master shook his hand and welcomed him to Mesabi Landing: "Good to have you here! This new ship is a welcome addition to Commodore Van Baarle's fleet!" Capt. Hayhurst nodded in agreement. "On the way we came across a 'man-of-war', a large ship with a double cannon deck. It is on its way to join the fleet! We saw several ships with a Corrington flag coming this way, also.

Baron Peter Nash thoroughly enjoyed the Highland Games. Afterwards there was a need for a refreshing drink. His friend Padre Azúcar, known from the sugar cane industry, had further expanded his empire with various drinking establishments. His recently opened the "Tipsy Mermaid Pub". It seemed like a great option for drinks in Wullham. Padre Azúcar looked from his private room on the first floor at the visitors below. It was an excellent move to organize a special party in Wullham; it was now popularly called 'Oktoberfest'. There was solidarity between Corrington's various land and sea forces. They all enjoyed a refreshing beer or warming whiskey. On this special occasion, money would fly! *Ka-ching* --- Build will be licensed in Wullham by @Bricksbypidy.

Recently Capt. Willem van Baarle returned in Mesabi Landing from his pirate-hunting mission. He was leading a squadron out of Port Woodhouse that included his frigate the HMS Phama, the man-o-war Semilliante and the HMS Melampus. Van Baarle found his prey in the East Prio Sea when they encountered Kane's new flagship, Perla de Labuan, a class 9 galleon, leading eight(!) other ships under his black flag. After a fierce naval battle, the battle ended in a draw. The HMS Phama sent Paraiso to the sharks, but unfortunately his HMS Melampus did not survive the battle and was shot by a Black Flag ship. Capt. Willem van Baarle: Now, back in Mesabi Landing, Van Baarle was licking his wounds. He was determined to expand his fleet with a number of new high class vessels. To get an even stronger fleet, more ships are needed, which requires a special commander. Van Baarle's good friend Baron Peter Nash, a wealthy man, provided this investment. Captain Willem van Baarle was promoted to Commodore... and if the fleet grew fast enough, he might even become Admiral soon...

[COR - FB] Marderian Style Bathhouse, New Haven
Bricksbypidy posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
After the Eslandolan and Garvian invasion of the Isle de Medio thousands of Mardierian settlers left homeless and facing starvation. Corlander efforts to assist were met with fierce resistance from Eslandola and the resulting Nova Malto crisis was resolved by shipping large numbers of Marderian refugees to the Corlander island of Alicentia for resettlement. Marderian refugees settling down to life as Corlander citizens in New Haven. The influence of the Marderians was clearly visible in the architectural style of the buildings. Sir Peter Nash OC, Baron of Swanley, was commissioned by a Mardierian friend to design a luxury bathhouse. Peter took this assignment with both hands and designed a bathhouse in Marderian style. The bathhouse is a luxurious place to relax and do business. Peter relaxed by the water and enjoyed the various drinks and food provided to him by the servants. A number of other gentlemen enjoyed the hot water while discussing business matters. --- Build will be licensed in New Haven by @Bricksbypidy.

On the outskirts of Jamestown, lies 'Lagoon Lockup'. This colorful little 'settlement' is located on a tropical lagoon with birds, flowers and crystal clear water. The small 'settlement' consists of a 'lockup' with a few number of supporting buildings. The cannons defend this small suburb of Jamestown. Leader of this 'Lagoon Lockup' is Sebastián Enrique. He's the left man on the roof on the left. Recently his men captured the infamous pirate Francis Drake. If you look closely you can see him behind the prison gate on the right. Rumors are circulating that all his loyal friends will gather and attempt to free him from this plight. The guns are loaded, the Corrish men are on alert, scanning the lagoon for intruders. In the distance a small rowing boat approaches... it reaches the lagoon through a narrow passage between two small, overgrown islets.

Part of the Armed Forces of Corrington is the Highland Regiment of Foot. Every summer these Highlanders come to Wullham for the traditional games: The Highland Games. This event is held every year. Certain aspects of the games are so well known as to have become emblematic for the Highlanders, such as the bagpipes, the kilt, and the heavy events, especially the 'Caber Toss' and 'Weight over Bar'. While centered on competitions in piping and drumming, dancing, and heavy athletics, the games also include entertainment and exhibits related to other aspects of the Corrington Highlander cultures. During the Highland games, various groups of Highlanders compete against each other in various 'heavy events'. Some examples of 'events' are: 'Stone Put', 'Keg-tossing (Weight over Bar)', 'Caber Toss' and 'Tug of War'. This event, the so-called Black Watch, MacDonald and Wemyss will compete against each other. Every year there is a guest jury of 7 people. This consists of people who have been of great importance to Corrington in the previous year. This year this honor has been awarded to (from left to right): Jim Corbett, Padre Azúcar, Willem van Baarle, Baron Peter Nash, Alexandre Bras-de-Fer, Edmund Cooke and Bernard Claesen Speirdyke. --- Build will be licensed in Wullham by @Bricksbypidy.

[COR - GoC] Small Sugar Plantation, Queenston
Justsomebrix posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
As Queenston's two Royal Plantations quickly let the world know that Queenston was to become a prominent figure in the sugar business. Both small and large investors have come to the settlement, wishing to get a piece of the land while they still can. Here you see the small plantation of a retired sailor, he had spent his whole life working on various merchant vessels, until he eventually gained enough trust and experience to be made captain of a his own fluyte. He earned a decent living as a merchant, but realised that he would need a quicker way to earn doubloons, if he were to become a land owner before he got to old. So when Corrington declared war on the Lotus, he decided now was the time and he sold his fluyte back to the company and bought himself a small sloop. He had managed to secure a "Letter of Marque" allowing him to harass Loti trade while keeping a large portion of the profits. He convinced some of his old crew to join him on his sloop and together they left for the New Heaven Sea as Privateers. For months they attacked the loti, capturing several merchant Junks and in one occasion even recapturing a previously lost Corrie brig. He eventually met up with Scarver and served in his squadron for a little while. As the allied invasion of El Oleonda took place, Loti shipping in the area drastically reduced, but his time as a privateer had been profitable. So he decided it was time to use his earnings as intended and purchase some land. When he returned to Corrie territory, he heard news that Scarver now served as Mayor of Corringtons first settlement on Arlintina, without a second thought he packed his belongings and brought his family to Queenston. He used his savings to buy a large patch of land and got to work on his soon to be sugar plantation. Now, fully in business, he rides through his fields of sugar cane every morning at sunrise, greeting his workers on their way to work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built this small plantation for the GoC task 14, Bastion of the East. However I severely underestimated how many tan spyglasses I'd need for the sugar cane, so I compensated with a ton of different palm trees to fill the space I spent well over an hour editing a white background behind the moc, but the file was too big to be posted on flickr so it was all for nothing Will be licenced as a small plantation for Queenston- 4 replies

A while ago we were introduced to Jim Corbett. The hunter from the A-MRCA The Adventures of Edmund Cooke storyline. Jim is from Wullham. We see him here in his natural habitat, his hunter's cabin in one of the few woods in Wullham. Baron Peter Nash had met him at 'The Drunken Fish' tavern in Arlinsport. And they agreed to meet later in Wullham. Jim's cabin was simple and consisted mainly of woodwork, the cabin was equipped with a stone plinth and a comfortable porch with rocking chair where Jim contemplated new adventures. Jim had his own hunting tower where he spent hours searching the lavender fields for wild. --- Build will be licensed in Wullham by Bricksbypidy.

[COR- SHIPS] Class 3 privateer sloop "Ranger"
Justsomebrix posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
As piracy in the New World threatens both our shipping and settlements, Edward Scarver and Killian Goodwill has formed a squadron of privateers. The small squadron will be sent out to hunt Black Flaged vessels and any remnants of the Lotii that still dear roam our seas. The urge to take the helm, go back to sea and lead this squadron against the enemies of Corrington almost overtook Scarver. But he knew his duties as Mayor demanded his presence in Queenston. After all the young settlement has yet to complete it's Fortress. And if something were to happen to the settlement while he was away cruising the brick seas hunting pirates... well... let's just say his career as Mayor would be cut short... Instead he promoted his loyal friend and quartermaster, Sinbad, to captain of the Ranger. Sinbad was born in the Mokolei Empire as the son of a Corrie farmer. His father had worked as a sailor on a merchant ship that would regularly sail between the two Empires. One day he fell in love with the daughter of one of their Mokolei clients and they ran away together. They settled down in a small farm deep in Mokolei country, where they worked for years. Until they eventually had amassed enough money to buy their own fields and start their own little farm. Shortly after they had their first son, Sinbad. However, as he grew up it was clear the life of a modest farmer wouldn't be enough for the young Sinbad, and at 16 he left for the sea. After working on merchant ships and a few mokolei corsairs, he heard rumours of an up and coming Corrie privateer who was looking for new recruits to fill the ranks of his newly captured ship, The Muharib. Sinbad got the job and with his cunning charisma, he quickly grew popular with both the crew and his captain, Edward Scarver. He was eventually voted Quartmaster by the crew and has stayed loyal to his captain and his brothers in arms ever since. Even when Edward Scarver was made Mayor of the newly founded frontier settlement of Queenston, Sinbad stayed and helped out in the settlement, both by gathering supplies and building new structures. But also by keeping crime off the streets before the first troops were stationed. Here you can see Sinbad arriving with the rest of his crew. Here the Ranger's Quartermaster is seen waiting on deck. The Boatswain takes a last hit of his pipe before setting sail. The ship has been prepared and lays docked in the harbour, together with the rest of the squadron, the Andromache, The Parvus and the Delphinus Orca. And with that, the fleet is ready for a hunt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well with about 35 minutes to spare I managed to finish and post the last ship for @lmcpicture and I's squadron of Queenston Privateers! I am sorry about the bad pictures, I didn't manage to find a good setup for a scene this big. However I intend to take some new photos one day with rigging and unfurled sails. This will be both of us first time trying out the Tmrca, so let's hope we get some first timers luck this turn She will be licenced as a class 3 sloop -
Despite being the swiftest of the three, the HMS Camilla was the last to arrive in Westface, hours after the HMS Nimble and the HMS Corsair. As the squadron was spread out to sweep the seas on their way to Westface, the HMS Camilla, being commanded by only a lieutenant, was relegated to the most leeward position of the line. As they neared port, the square rigged, and thus least weatherly, Camilla had to make up the most distance, beating up from leeward. The HMS Camilla is an 18-gun post ship of the Royal Navy, newly built in Northern Corrington. Her long 12 pounders offer her a good weight of metal, but what is most notable about her is her tall rig, being built for speed. She is well-suited for traditional anti-piracy duty, although the size of the most notorious Brick Seas pirate flotilla might make the Camilla's career short. She arrives commanded only by her first lieutenant, with orders for Captain Cooke to join and take command. The orders did allude to the fact that an 18 gun post ship is somewhat below the station of a senior post-captain, that it was only temporary, and that Captain Cooke would certainly jump at any opportunity to serve his country. And while Cooke had expected a more substantial command, the command of a squadron did somewhat make up for it, as did the beautiful, well-handled post-ship. If the crew of the Camilla had expected a long-awaited shore-leave in Westface, they must certainly take some resentment towards their new captain, as only hours after arrival, Captain Cooke had them afloat again on gunnery exercise with the rest of his new squadron. Another ship from my yards. Years in the making. If @Garmadon remembers, he challenged me (probably not directly ) to build a ship with gun-ports of 1,5 stud width. This is the fruits of that labour. And I think she turned out pretty nice. The biggest challenge was really making her sturdy, as the off stud widths make for less stable connections. I have learned much since I built her, and there are obviously things I would redo, but I am overall quite happy with her. She will be licensed as a class 5.

Only hours after the arrival in Westface of the HMS Nimble, another vessel pulls into view. This time, however, the gunners are more confident, laying their guns with great care, as certainly, this must be a corsair. After the recent disappointment, perhaps now their thirst for action can be sated? The gunners are only to some degree to be disappointed, as the vessel, although not a target, is indeed a former (and by name present) corsair. The HMS Corsair is a xebec-frigate taken from corsairs off Guelph by Corlander cruisers. Her sailing qualities were such that she was purchased into the service. She carries 14 9-pounders, and while that armament is light for a frigate, she makes up for it in maneuverability. The large lateen combined with square sails (known as a polacre-rig) makes her an excellent sea boat, particularly close to the wind, allowing her to eat the wind out of any square rigger. In a calm, her light construction allows the effective use of sweeps, long oars deployed through ports designed for the specific purpose. She too is to join the squadron under Captain Cooke, to combat the pirates that has scoured the seas and attacked Corlander interests in the Brick Seas. ' A class 5 polacre-xebec for the Royal Navy.

[COR - Collaboration Build] The old Admiral, his Mission and his Fleet
Justsomebrix posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Sitting on his favorite chair, smoking from his favorite pipe, the old Richard Haddock was enjoying the sunset from his small castle home on his land outside of Belson. Just like he has done every evening for the past several years since retiring from the Royal Navy. Once a highly decorated Rear-Admiral of Corrington, Haddock now spent his days walking across his land and entertaining his grandchildren with tales from his past. But one late evening, just as he had lit his pipe : "Sir, a letter from the capitol" "A letter ? At this hour? " Haddock answered after turning around to see his butler handing him the letter. "Yes sir, the messenger just left. He said it was quite urgent. Based on his uniform, I believe it might be from the Admiralty" "The Admiralty? What could they possibly want from me?" It had been years since he had retired from the Admiralty Board, and even longer since he had last commanded a ship. "Well, only one way to find out", he thought to himself as he ripped open the seal. ' Retired Rear-Admiral Richard Haddock, We hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. We write you to humbly request your invaluable assistance in a matter of great importance to the defence of our colonies and to regain control of the Brick Seas. As You are well aware, Rear Admiral Fletcher has been leading a noble and effective war against our enemies fleets in the New World, but despite his courageous efforts, the notorious Dominance has yet to be subdued. Following the sacking of Mooreton Bay and the decimation of the ETTC Treasure Fleet by the ever growing Pirate Armadas, we fear that Fletcher's forces might be spread to thin if he were to fight on all fronts. And with our armies deep inside the jungles of Oleonda, we cannot risk the loss of our Terra Nova'n Fleet. For this reason, we have commissioned a Squadron of Man o Wars, with the task of once and for all capturing or sinking the Dominance, finally ridding the seas of the Lotii. We understand that you have retired from active service, and your time is precious. However the gravity of the threat posed by the Dominance and Sea Rat fleets, necessitates an extraordinary response. We hope you give this matter careful consideration, should you find it within your heart to heed this call, we would forever be in your debt. With upmost respect and admiration, we remain hopeful for your support in this noble cause. The Admiralty Board ' "They wan't me back on the sea" Haddock said... contemplating what he had just read. "What will you do sir?" His Butler answered "Well I'll be dammed If I ever let my country down! Prepare my carriage, we'll ride for Belson at Dawn!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After having met up with the Admiralty Board, Richard Haddock was given a detailed briefing on his mission and current position of the Royal Navy. The Terra Nova'n fleet has been in constant battle since the start of the War against the Lotii, with little support from the mainland. The Pirate war lord Kane "the Magnificent" took advantage of this when he raided the settlement of Mooreton Bay. In addition, the loss of the ETTC treasure fleet has also further weakened our control of the seas while further growing the pirate fleets as our frigates and Terramen undoubtedly will be used against us. If such acts go unpunished, we would invite even more chaos and savagery to our settlements. Letters of Marque have been handed out to privateers in order to increase our patrols and deal with some of the pirate threats in Terra Nova, but the presence of the Dominance still means the Lotii has the potential to inflict a devastating blow to our already weakened Navy. Richard Haddock is to serve as Rear-Admiral of the blue squadron, nicknamed the "Retribution" fleet, alongside Rear-Admiral Fletcher as his Advisor until the task is done. His primary objective is eliminating the Dominance along side the last remnants of the Lotii navy. Once the Dominance is no longer a threat, he is to rejoin the Terra Nova'n fleet and help them deal with any Pirates that might still be left. After his meetings with the admiralty, Richard Haddock was sent to the Parker Dockyards, where he was to meet his second in command, Commodore of the Acheron, alongside William Parker, the one who had been commissioned to prepare this squadron. Once he arrived Parker went through all the ship plans and described the characteristics of each ship in detail. First we have the Flagship, the HMS Leopard : (Class 9) She is a state of the art Portland Class, 4th rate ship of the line. With a crew of 400 and a top speed of 10 knots, her armament consists of 52 guns, which includes : 22 twenty four pounders, 22 eighteen pounders, 8 nine pounders and 2 twelve pound carronade. She started her construction along with the heavy frigate Acheron, in late February following the February raid of Mooreton Bay in 623. Despite the unrivalled productivity of the Parker Dockyard, we failed to predict the second raid of Mooreton Bay in March, and the ships were not finished in time to stop this tragedy from happening. But the time for Retribution has come, and with that, I present to you, The HMS Acheron : (Class 7) The Acheron is the second ship built and designed, in answer of the recent events in the New World. She is the smallest of the fleet, but that by no means make her less intimidating. With it's innovating hull and sleek design, this heavy frigate has been reported to sail at a speed up to 14 knots, all while carrying a whopping 42 guns! She has a standard crew of 320men and her 42 guns includes : 28 eighteen pounder cannons, 14 nine pounders and 6 twelve pounder carronades. Once the Dominance lays at the bottom of the ocean, all enemies of Corrington will learn how the Acheron gained her name, as once she's got you in her sight, no-one will escape her wrath. The two last ships are former ship of the lines, that have been modified into to heavy frigates, known as Razee Frigates. Our older ship of the lines have proven too slow and sluggish with time. So William Parker made the brilliant decision of cutting them down, reducing their gun decks, transforming outdated slow ship of the lines into fast and versatile heavy frigates. The HMS Immortalité : (class 8) The HMS Immortalité, better known as the Immortality for the Corries, was an Oleon built warship of the 49 years war. Under Oleon colours she had sunk a dusin corlander vessels and captured another twice as many. She was finally captured by the Royal Navy in 589 AE. She was repared and fought Oleon on a couple minor sea skirmishes until the war ended with the "Arlin's pact" the year later. She was active during the 49 year wars but was left ceveraly damaged. After the war, as the New World had become everyones primary objective, her slow and bulky stature made her ineffective for the naval warfare of Terra Nova, which demanded versatility more than fire power. She was left for years docked in Belson's harbour, serving as a relic of the past for who would see her. Until one day she was handed over to William Parker, who saw great potential in this so called "Immortal" ship, and he new exactly what to do. The former 62 gun 3rd rate ship of the line was cut down to 44 gun Razee Frigate. She is armed with 28 twenty four pounders, 12 nine pounders and 6 thirty two pounder carronades. With a crew of 350 men, the heavy frigate Indefatigable now has a speed of 11 knots, almost 4 knots more then she did as a ship of the line. The fourth and last ship of the squadron is the HMS Reliant : (Class 8) The Reliant, a former 4th rate ship of the line, now carries 26 twenty-four pounders, 16 nine pounders and 4 twelve pounder carronades, giving her a total of 42 guns with a broadside of 20 cannons. Her crew lays at 330men and she averages at a speed of 10 knots. The Razee frigates will hoepfully prove effective against the large pirate fleets, having a perfect combination of speed, bulk and fire power. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rear-Admiral Haddock of the Leopard and Commodore Ledger of the Acheron, while waiting for the last preparations to be finished, spent the next few days planning their move once they arrive in Terra Nova. Rear-Admiral Fletcher had supplied letters containing every known move and detail of the Dominance and the ships that accompany her. In addition several companies of Royal Marines had been prepared to accompany the ships on their mission. If the opportunity to board showed herself, our Royal Marines will do quick work of any man who dare raise his sword at them. With the ships ready to sail, 400 Royal Marines marched down from the Fort and boarded the ships. Sunday July 30th 623, the Blue Squadron, nicknamed the "Retribution fleet", set sail from Belson under the command of Rear-Admiral Richard Haddock of the HMS Leopard, and Commodore William Ledger of the HMS Acheron. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well, sorry for the long post guys @boeing_787_8_dreamliner and I started this collab in the end of June, right after reading the Kings Port Advertisement vol 8. We originally planned on posting several chapters, building up the story little by little. But life got in the way and the mocs took longer than expected. We originally planned to have 6 ships in the squadron, but if we were to add the additional Heavy frigate and Corvette, we never would have finished the post in time for the next tmcra. Massive round of applause to @boeing_787_8_dreamliner who managed to prepare this amazing fleet in time! I'll leave it to @Bregir and @Ayrlego to licence the 4 ships and fill out the Tmcra forms. The Leopard is of class 9, the Reliant and Indefatigable are class 8, the Acheron is class 7 (The two pictures that are not hidden, with english flags will be replaced asap. The hidden images will remain with english flags as even though the ships were made with this project in mind, Boeing posted them on instagram first and rendered the images with english flags) -
[A-MRCA - SHIP] The adventures of Edmund Cooke S01E05: The Challenge
Bricksbypidy posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
The Adventures of Edmund Cooke | S01E05 'The Challenge' We ended our story at William Parker's Shipyard: "I'll get this big vessel ready for you, come back soon." The story now continues... Click here for previous episodes: Click here for more info about the characters: A few weeks later, Edmund, Alexandre, Bernard and Jim returned to William Parker's shipyard. Immediately they noticed a mighty two-masted cannon sloop lying in the water. This ship looked very suitable to continue the adventure! Meanwhile, William was already coming towards them. "And..., do you like this vessel?", he asked. Edmund replied with a resounding: "Yes, definitely!" "Have you thought about a name for this vessel yet?", asked William. Edmund looked startled at Alexandre, who nodded reassuringly. "We have an extremely suitable name. We call her 'HMS Challenger". May she be with us over many challenges!". After a three-yard huzzah and a number of ceremonies, the men boarded. In the meantime, Bernard had found a number of willing sailors who were willing to join them. These experienced hands knew the dangers of the ocean, and were ready for a new adventure. The departure went smoothly and the HMS Challenger headed south. Before the expedition was started, a test run was first arranged. They sailed across the Drolitic Ocean. The sailors were able to get used to the ship and their new boss, Captain Edmund Cooke. Navigator Alexandre Bar-de-Fer steered the ship past beautiful atolls where natives lived. Sometimes they passed a lone pirate looking for a treasure, or they were welcomed by a colony of flamingos. After a successful test run, the course was changed to the north, into the direction of Arlinsport. The adventure could begin! The sea route to the Kingdoms of the Great Raider could be deployed. Finally, Captain Cooke gave the crew some words of encouragement, then he looked at his personal adviser, Alexandre, and asked, "Okay, so where are we going now?" To be continued... --- Collab build with @boeing_787_8_dreamliner. Vessel HMS Challenger will be licensed by @Bricksbypidy as a class 5. @Ayrlego, I would like to receive input from a game master for my next step in this adventure.

After visiting the graves of his father and grandfather, Killian Goodwill discovers a Bermuda sloop left behind by his grandfather. The gift was never completed before his grandfather's death, so it was left to rot in a forgotten shipyard. The sloop was in rough shape, with rusted metal and damaged sails, but Killian was determined to bring it back to life. He spent many months restoring the boat, repairing the sails, and replacing the rigging. Finally, The Parvus was ready to set sail. Now in the harbor of Queenston, she is made ready for war as she prepares for her maiden voyage: pirate hunting in the New Haven Sea. Finally using the Class 3 license I won in the mini challenge back in September 2021 .

[A-MRCA] The adventures of Edmund Cooke S01E04: Parker's Shipyard
Bricksbypidy posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
The Adventures of Edmund Cooke | S01E04 'Parker's Shipyard' We ended our story at Alexandre's basement: "Edmund looked at Alexandre: "What do you think, are all these costs (ship level upgrade) worth this expedition? A new vessel is already costing us a lot of money, and we haven't even left the harbor yet!". Alexandre shrugged: "I don't know, my friend, but sometimes an experience makes you happier than money..." Edmund nodded: "Okey, let's go! Arrange the extra contribution for our new vessel! We're going to Parker's Shipyard!" The story now continues... Click here for previous episodes: Click here for more info about the characters: A few days later, Edmund, Alexandre, Bernard and Jim went to Parker's Shipyard in Arlinsport. Parker's Shipyard was owned by the very talented shipbuilder William Parker (@boeing_787_8_dreamliner) Many vessels in Corrington's current fleet came from one of his shipyards. The foursome had arranged an appointment with the famous William himself. He was already present at the shipyard and gave instructions to his employees during the construction of a number of ships. There were a number of small vessels under construction, but they were also working on a larger vessel. It was build on a rail so it was easier to launch the finished vessel into the water. "Good morning, you must be William...", Alexandre called out. "We've heard a lot about you!". "Correct...", replied William, "the one and only!" "Welcome to my shipyard in Arlinsport, what can I do for you?" "We are looking for a large vessel that can take us across The Great Northern Ocean safety," Alexandre replied. "We want to go on an expedition to the Kingdoms of the Great Raider!" Edmund added enthusiastically. William frowned at the foursome. "To the Kingdoms of the Great Raider?" "No one has ever come back from that alive..." Jim got a smile on his face: "I love the smell of adventures in the morning". "I have to disappoint you guys," William continued the conversation. "At the moment I have no possibilities to build a ship. I am working on a large vessel for the Royal Fleet." Edmund looked at Alexandre: "What do we do now?" Alexandre beckoned Bernard closer, who was carrying a sack. "How much does the Royal Fleet offer you for this vessel?" Alexandre asked William, pointing to the vessel under construction. "Not that much," admitted William. Alexandre took Bernard's sack and shook it. "Ka-ching, ka-ching". It sounded like a well-filled sack of golden doubloons. "But... maybe I can sell that little boat there..." and he pointed to a dark blue rowing boat, "to the Royal Fleet. I'll get this big vessel ready for you, come back soon."

We have seen the arrival of the Brethren of the Golden Triangle on Alicentia. After their flight from Isle de Medio, they moved into a monastery in New Haven. The brotherhood was led by friar Louis Bertrand. After a period of relative calm, the brotherhood has resumed their day-to-day activities. For example, education is given to the youngest Corrish in primary school. In addition, with the construction of the chapel there is again room for worship. The Marderian brotherhood has become more and more integrated into the Corrington society. A famous celebration of the Marderien Brethren is the 'Semana Santa', or the 'Holy Week'. During this week, various festivities and parades take place, with which the community propagates their religion. --- This build has no link with the Ku Klux Klan, it's based on the Spanish Semana Santa.

Brethren of the Golden Triangle The Eslandolan and Garvian invasion of the Isle de Medio left thousands of Mardierian settlers homeless and facing starvation. Even so the Brethren of the Golden Triangle, a religious brotherhood. The brotherhood was headed by friar Louis Bertrand. We've seen them before take up residence in a monastery in New Haven.

[A-MCRA - SHIP LEVEL] The adventures of Edmund Cooke S01E03: The Basement
Bricksbypidy posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
The Adventures of Edmund Cooke | S01E03 'The Basement' We ended our story at Edmund Cooke's house: "You need an ocean-going vessel to make a voyage to these western reaches of the Great Northern Ocean!" replied Jim. Edmund looked at Alexandre. He gave a little nod and said, "I know the right person in Arlinsport for this job... His name is Parker." The story now continues... Click here for previous episodes: Click here for more info about the characters: A few days later, Edmund and Bernard came to Alexandre's basement in his house in Arlinsport. Alexandre had a man cave in his house where he spent many hours devising strategies, preparing new expeditions, enjoying a good glass of whiskey or dusting off his trinkets. Alexandre was bent over the table. The table displayed an image of the map of the Northwest portion of the continent of Halos. Alexandre pointed with a stick at the white cross on the map. "Here," he said. "This is the area we're going to, the Kingdoms of the Great Raider. According to Jim Corbett, there should be polar bears. As I mentioned recently, I know someone who can build us a vessel to brave the Great Northern Ocean." "As I mentioned recently, I know someone who can build us a vessel to brave the Great Northern Ocean However, I recently spoke to the Arlinsport Harbor Master, who indicated that we have reached the maximum number of vessels in our fleet. We will have to pay an additional fee of 250 db to expand our fleet!" Edmund looked at Alexandre: "What do you think, are all these costs worth this expedition? A new vessel is already costing us a lot of money, and we haven't even left the harbor yet!".

[COR - FB - GOC - ROYAL] Botanical Research Center, Spudkirk
Bricksbypidy posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Corrington is known as a bastion of knowledge and learning. Science, mathematics and literature all flourish under Corlander patronage and Corlander schools and universities are world renowned. Thus it is only natural that this passion for education is transferred with Corlander settlers in Terra Nova. Also in Spudkirk. This beautiful, modern botanical research center was recently realized here by the renowned architect Baron Peter Nash. Spudkirk is a bit isolated from other major islands, thick verdant jungle covers the entire island interior, sitting on a plateau atop 100 m high cliffs making up the entire coast. The research center is located on the edge of a cliff with a beautiful view of the sea. Although the sea looks peaceful, dangers always lurk in these shallows and the rocky coastline. --- Royal Education building sold to @Spud The Viking, and will be licensed to the settlement Spudkirk.
