Elizabeth had been glad that Micah was back from the expedition into the new waters. She was glad to hear the many tales of the new nations they had met. He told her about their customs, habits and lifestyles. He also told her about their find beneath the ground. He promised her that though they would have to be away from each other a few more times, it would not last forever. This morning she had come over after breakfast, and they enjoyed some time together on the balcony. They saw a man rushing toward the office and postulated why he might be in such a hurry. A few minutes later, Gregory came running over bearing a letter in his hands. He began to pound on the door. Micah went down and received the letter and the urgent message of the courier. Upon opening the letter he read: To Micah of Wolfhaven, son of Lord Alexander, We regret to inform you of the passing of your father, Lord Alexander of Wolfhaven, on the 16th of March, 615 AE. The funeral will be held on the 20th of March, 615 AE. We regretfully understand that this message will not reach you in time to return for the funeral. We would request your presence in Bellson as soon as is possible to settle any outstanding matters in regards to the estate of your father. Your mother also wishes for you to come during this trying time. If you are unable to depart for Bellson at this time, please send a notice on the next ship headed to Bellson so that we can be assured of your receipt of this notice and your soon arrival. With deepest condolences, Lord Mark Crawford, Esquire SAM_7210 SAM_7213 SAM_7214 SAM_7229 SAM_7279 If you wish to read the backstory to Micah and his companions follow this link for all builds I have made for BOBS.

Sergeant Anthony Bolton and his squad were well prepared for any attack from another nation. (See the former build for backstory.) However, they were not prepared for the danger that lurked on the island. SAM_7254 The wild dogs that lived on the island had never been an issue for the natives. They would see them on occasion and primarily only eating other wildlife or slipping through the forest. The expedition had been told of them, but they had never seen the dogs. It would appear that they had no reason to fear them. However, they did not take into consideration that a new diet might be in desire. SAM_7240 (2) Two of Bolton's soldiers heard the distressed neighs of the filly, and the snarls of the wild dogs. They immediately fired upon the dogs slaying two and chasing off the others. However, they were too late to save the life of the filly. In the future, Bolton is going to need to establish a better perimeter defense against the dangers of the island. Apparently, pirates are not the only dangers in the new islands. SAM_7248 SAM_7246 SAM_7240 Here are a few pictures of the ranch scenes in Cat A and B put together. SAM_7271 SAM_7274

On the journey back from the new island, Micah and his crew put the "Flying Colt" in at New Terrelli. While in port, they saw a beautiful cutter that had for sale flyers posted.The partners convened together and decided to use some of the gold they had discovered to purchase this vessel. It would raise less questions to spend the money as merchants in Eslandola then back in Arlinsport. They sent the "Flying Colt" on without them on a trade mission under the escort of the Eslandolan "Queen of Terelli". Unbeknownst to them, the "Flying Colt" was almost seized by privateers. However, the "Queen of Terelli" rescued them. After spending a week repainting and fitting the cutter, Micah and the partners set off with a few new sailors back to Arlinsport. The ship was rechristened the "Alexander" after Micah's father whose business and protection they were sailing under. The "Alexander" proved to be a fast vessel and got them to Arlinsport in superb time. This is my third free build this month so please let me know if you approve. Maxim, I am licencing this cutter to Micah (Silent Wolf) as a 2F. Previous builds: Intro: Silent Wolf FB: "Flying Colt" Ch1 CatA: Ahoy, Fishermen! FB: Back at the Ranch...

Lord Alexander's horse business would not be complete without a way to draw in new customers. What better way than to have a blacksmith shop to serve the community? Whenever anyone in Arlingsport needed a new horse, Alexander's horse business immediately was spoken of. They also spoke favourably of his son Micah's fair management of the business. Gregory the blacksmith enjoyed his work. Early in the morning the shop, he would head to the shop to start for the day. By the time Charles would come by with a horse to be shod, Gregory would already be working with his bellows and hammers making some new iron design for usage in the houses of Arlinsport.

After the long trip of exploration, Micah was happy to be back in Arlinsport. He promptly dressed up and made his way over to the home of his fiancee's parents. Upon his announcement, Elizabeth quickly made her way to the door. He had much to tell her. SAM_6914 by Micah Van Gorp, on Flickr SAM_6918 by Micah Van Gorp, on Flickr I attempted a technique for the house siding that I hadn't done before. I am not entirely thrilled with how it turned out, but it did give a semblance of a clapboard house. Advice and critique is welcome.

Previous Builds Intro: Silent Wolf FB: "Flying Colt" Ch1 CatA: Ahoy, Fishermen! FB: Back at the Ranch... Silent Wolf and his friends spent a week with the natives. They were hosted by the village. During this time, they learned some of the information about this land. One of the surprising things they learned was that the village had been visited years ago by other men like the Corlanders. They discovered this when they heard the natives speaking some words that they recognized from their merchant and military missions in the Old World. The natives told Micah and his friends that the previous visitors had come a long time ago. Only the most elderly remembered them. The natives declared that the visitors had been crazy which is why they never came back. The visitors enjoyed spending their time inside the earth. Only crazy people go inside the earth, because every smart person knows it is dangerous. When Micah asked, no one was willing to show them where the hole into the earth was. Later, one of the young natives who was called Hanska told them that though the tribe was afraid of the hole in the ground and the loud noises that came out of it, he had been inside before. He would be willing to lead them there. Leaving Caleb with the ship, Micah, George, William and Arthur followed Hanska through the forest. A girl from the tribe who apparently was interested in Hanska followed the group from a distance. After walking for about an hour, they saw a large rock jutting out of the ground. As they moved torward it, they scared up what appeared to be a pig just like the ones they had back in the Old World. Haska told them they had been left by the former strangers and had grown quite wild and populous on the island. Upon arriving at the rock mound, Haska pulled the vegetation aside that blocked a tiny entrance into a narrow cave. The men lit the three torches they had brought and squeezed one by one through the opening. Descending into the cave, they saw a light up ahead. When Micah walked into a room of the cave, he saw a tiny rowboat sized opening that revealed that this cave opened into the ocean. Then he saw it! Chests and chests full of something! If the one that was broken up was any indication, it was a hidden treasure that had rested their for the last seventy years. They were all shocked! An overview of the MOC: -
Previous Builds Intro: Silent Wolf FB1: "Flying Colt" Ch1 CatA: Ahoy, Fishermen! While Silent Wolf and the crew were gone exploring on the "Flying Colt", Charles has been busy going back and forth between the office in town and the ranch. He is working hard to continue to expand the market for the horses they are breeding and training. Whenever a large potential investor comes around, Charles will often take him out to the ranch near Arlingsport to show their horses and training. Today he has a gentleman of Eslandola visiting the ranch to see what is going on. They have just brokered a deal for a lucrative contract over the course of the next two years.

Intro: Silent Wolf FB1: "Flying Colt" After having sailed west from Bellson for several weeks, the crew of the "Flying Colt" spotted a large island ahead. They sailed around the island until they spotted several natives at the beach. What were they doing? Lowering the row boat, Micah, George, Caleb and one of the sailors rowed in to make their first contact. As they approached, they could see the men throwing nets into the ocean and hauling in all sorts of fish and sea life. The children were playing near the beach, while the ladies worked on animal hides that had obviously been recently acquired from a hunting trip. They were all dressed leather, covered in seed and shell ornaments. The adventurers landed and greeted these soon to be new friends. The natives had been surprised to see the large boat anchored a ways off. However, they were quite welcoming of these newcomers when they landed. The children appeared shy, but there was no fear shown by any of the natives. They invited everyone to a meal at their camp further inland. It appears that they are about to make some new friends. If all goes well, their voyage will have been a success.

Intro: Silent Wolf After visiting several ship builders down at the docks, the companions realized they did not have enough funds to buy the large ship they wanted. In compromise, Micah and his companions agreed to buy a Sloop in which they could make a voyage west. They also laid a deposit down upon a large ship that their adventure and businesses would pay for upon their return. Caleb found a first mate and hired some sailors for the journey. William enlisted the aid of his friend, another soldier, and they made sure the vessel had sufficient weapons and ammunition. Arthur purchased the food and supplies, and he supervised the loading onto the ship. George installed two swivel guns on the forecastle in order to protect them from any enemy who might pursue them. Micah checked and double-checked everything. Finally, they were ready to set sail. Micah watching from the bow of his first ship. https://flic.kr/s/aHskrA9r1e

Micah "the Silent" of Wolf-Haven, is the second son of Lord Alexander of Wolf-Haven. Lord Alexander was granted his rank and lands from the crown due to his heroic actions and valiant service to the crown during the 49 Years War. He settled down and had several children. His land is willed to go to his eldest son, but the younger Micah is willed to receive the businesses Alexander owns and operates in the various cities. Micah was sent off at the young age of 15 to attend the prestigious Archellon College in Bellson. During college, he was also working at and learning his father's business of raising and selling the best horses in Corrington. Upon graduation, he took over as manager of the business expanding it greatly. He even sailed overseas to trade horses with Varcoast and the Mokolei Empire. These trips gave him a taste for travel and adventure. It was also upon these trips that he acquired his distaste for the corruption of religion that the Oleons follow. Upon hearing of the Queen's offer of rewards for any Corrington who can find and settle land beyond Terraversa, Micah began to dream. In time, Micah enlisted several of his close friends from Bellson and Arlingsport to gather together all the funds they could in order to embark on such an adventure of discovery. It would be no small sum that would outfit this expedition, as they would need to buy a ship, all the guns, and hire a crew.

(Now the captain of the Flying Colt) The last thing Micah had to do was purchase his own equipment and wardrobe, as well as say farewell to his fiancee, Elizabeth. Though she was saddened to see him leave, she had always known he would not settle down until he had seen what was beyond the seas. SAM_6762 (2) by Micah Van Gorp, on Flickr

Before I start, here is some background info: I got the LDD files for these ships back in 2011 from my Brother. He didn't built them, and can't remember where he got them. I have since remade the battleship three times and the sub twice. Here is HMS Timberwolf (the battleship )and the HMS Gray Ghost. (the submarine) The battleship features four guns and a two smokestacks, while the submarine has two propellers and is almost 100% built sideways. ...and yes, the guns do rotate! This symbol goes on the battleship on a flagpole. This one goes on the submarine. The wolves from Legends of Chima are going to run these ships. Wakz will be the venerable Captain of the Battleship. (known as the Timberwolf) While Winzar is the slightly unhinged captain of the submarine. (called the Gray Ghost) This fleet will be called the Wolfpack... and no, this isn't the entire fleet! (By the way: These last four pictures are from Bricklink!) LDD file for all that is in the main pic: http://www.mocpages....1395667879m.lxf Comments, Questions, & Critics welcome!

Here is my Phase III Stables build for AoM. I'd like to gain credit for the following UoP certifications: roofing [Architecture], wall techniques [Architecture] (for the log cabin), roof rakes [Architecture], and raising livestock [Agriculture and Zoology]= 4 credits This was my first try using tilted walls (for the foundation of the tower), and I think they worked pretty well. This was also my first time building a log cabin using SNOT 1x1 round bricks. All three buildings have a full interior and all the doors/trapdoor function. And I tried using a dark grey background rather than white in hopes of having the snow show up better. Any feedback on that? Trained Great Wolves are in high demand and fortified stables have become common in Mitgardia. Valdrfell Stables is a fortified stables located in the Clan Lands of Mitgardia. The fortress has a stable inside, and a corral just outside to train the great wolves in. More pictures can be found here: link All C&C welcome

Here is my phase II Stables build for AoM. This was a fun quick build that let me try building some more viking-esque buildings, and try a pine tree design that I haven't used before (credit for which goes to Blake Baer). The stables has a full interior and all the doors work. Great wolves are common in the clan lands of Mitgardia and some have been captured and tamed. Great wolves are smaller than a horse, but are quite strong and almost as fast. A wolf stable is quite similar to a normal horse stable: There are some more pictures here: link Any comments/criticism welcome, phase III will be coming before long

Well I've finally started some AoM builds, and this is my Phase I Stables build. I received the white leaves as a Christmas gift and have been wanting to use them for a while. There are giant wolves in Mitgardia, and some have been captured and tamed to become formidable mounts: Any C&C welcome
