Well, as it seems a good time for inactive members to post something, I'm happy to welcome you back Angeli! Some great looking Drow over there, even if they are a bit on the losing side at the moment (an excellent recap by @Exetrius), but I'm sure you'll be fixing that

Oh, my apologies, why am I only readint his now? Well, I don't know whether the thread is still used, as its last post (new settlement) dates from over a year ago (and normal proceedure is to make a post there per settlement, to which I will then link in the first post). However, if there is demand, I could certainly try to get it up to date again? (starting with this beautiful list of Sea Rat settlements!) (though I imagine there are more settlements from the other factions as well)

Congratulations to the winners, some great entries there!

Good to see you active Blu!

Thanks Kai, glad you like the little boat, it was one of the funniest parts to build Thank you, I'm really happy to be back to building! Good to see someone has noticed the pot, I thought the dark orange fitted the colourscheme just too well Blue would indeed have been a very nice colour to add even more depth to the build, especially dark blue (though my collection of these is very, very limited). Thanks! Thanks, glad you like it You almost make me blush, thanks! New techniques can be very challenging and even frustrating, but also very satisfying, so if you want to you should just try them! Aye, I'm really happy to be (more or less) back to building, hope to give you another MOC (or maybe even two) this summer! Glad that you like the build, thanks. As for the base colour: you're probably right, something like dark blue or a combination with trans clear would have added a nice extra touch, though my collection of these is quite limited. I defenitely have to try it on a smaller base though, and maybe make some BL-orders afterwards Thank you dG! Thanks!

Great to see how the Mesozoic line continue, please keep them coming Though it feels like the little hatch at the front would look better with two supporting beams, that's only nitpicking. A sweet colour palette and some cool details (like the stained glass or the nice use of the crown sigil) make for a great build

I imagine that fitting the whole of Historica on such a small base is no easy job, but you've pulled it off really well Kai! Speaking of the base, it is probably one of my favoured to date, with the guild shields but especially the 'Book III' font. Using a grill tile there...

This fits really well in the list of impressive Kaliphlin city scapes, such a nice MOC Not only a lovely colourscheme (the olive green and dark orange ), but an overload of little details (the crack in the wall with the little cheese slopes, for example) make for an impressive scene. Good work! A small remark is that the gallery under the olive green tower seems a bit plain to me, though this could very well just in comparison with the rest of the build

A nice little scene for sure! The outpost is small but really cool, I especially like the details of the wooden section

My entry for category A as well (and my first build to be posted in about a year...): Avalonian Autumn

Dear journal, Worrying words from the Mystic Isles have reached us a week ago. Fishermen speak about grey ships sliding through the fog and villagers gossip about a steady decline of Elven appearances. As nobody seems to know exactly what's happening in the core of this magic archipelago or where its inhabitants are going, Lydia has left four days ago, searching truth behind the rumours. She has failed to give a sign ever since. ~ Arthur

Good to see there at least some life left in Nocturnus (well, eh, life, Nocturnus, kind of a contradiction... Anyway, you get what I mean ) As Kai has already mentioned, the pillars with the guild shields (nice detail using a grill tile for the Spire one ) are great, but the best part is defenitely the curve under the roof. Simple, yet giving this build so much elegance and character Looking forward to the continuation of the story!

Why do I get the feeling someone is looking at me here? I try to do the be active more or less frequently (which I am not, I know), but as you say, when summer (joust) is here things should get better! ---- Even without a lot of activity, I can still congratulate our new King. Long live the dragon! I'm sure he'll make for a great ruler, especially with HQ's behind-the-scenes-powers to support him. Thanks for organising the contest!

Indeed looking good en_zoo, I really like his (yellow) facial expression

Wow, this is so good, in three ways: First of all, it would finally fix the leadership vacuum (IC, I mean of course! HQ and ZC are doing great) Second, mini-challenges are always nice, but even more so if the start when I have a week free Third: the intro build is just too cool Henjin Long live Avalonia!

(The Full Story Recap has been updated to include the new challenge and it's preludes )

Wishing you all the very best for the new year!

So, if I have a last final on the 30th, that means I've got 24 hours to complete a build. Yippie Also, some great challenge categories, good job guys

Oh no, certainly not! I feel honoured to appear in such an amazing build my dear Henjin, you've pulled this of really well The architecture is great, with these SNOT-ted arches (a nice break from the commen prefabs) and floor pavement, but it really leveled up by the amazing photography. The light Also, the chandeliers are a sweet touch! (The only problem I can see is that I now feel kind of obligated to enter the upcoming challenge, aaargh! Not like I don't want to, but time... I'll do my best to live up to my sigifig's glorious mentioning here!)

Hahahaha, okay, I've never looked at it that way Henjin Luckiliy I've got you guys to remind me of what's really important

Welcome to all new members, you made a great choise! ( @Full Plate I hope to see some forests from your hand soon ) I know I've been not been fulfilling my duties for the Avalonian heartland as well as I should, but university kicked in and so... Anyway, it seems like you can all do very well without me, keep up the good work guys ( @Henjin_Quilones nice description of the other guilds you've got over there!) Lastly @LittleJohn seems like I missed even more, that looks very promising. I'll have to check it out somehow! Edit: where did I get my new member title?

Up sand and dark green, up! Indeed, congratulations guys, some absolutely magnificent entries (I know I've been very absent from the guilds as of late, but suddenly real life kicked in so... I only stumbled upon eurobricks almost by chance, but I'm very glad I did. Hope to be able to post a build soon, and good luck to all CCC-entrants of course!)

Tudor? Tudor. Tudoooooooor! Oh my, I know I've left the forums a bit (more than a bit) long, but I couldn't leave this one without a comment! A great wall (though I think putting a black wall behind it might prevent seeing some gaps), a great base and an even better tree on the side all mike it a very nice build... But then I haven't mentioned the tudor-sections yet The only thing I could think of is that not using the medium blue for both the wall and the house would make the latter stand out even more, but that's a detail my dear. Very nice job As for the 'neo'-classical style... I guess that if you'd see the MOCs of the 'founding fathers' (like ZC or DC), our could be nicknamed 'neo' very well?

Wow, great to see you back alive en_zoo! And eh, well, I don't think SK sometimes isn't around and active...

Its absolutely amazing to see all these lovely builds, I hope to have time to give them all the attention they deserve one day! Keep up the good work! Due to other obligations (being university and finishing my build for Legoworld Utrecht) I' ve fallen short of participating in the first challenge of Book I. A bit pissed off about that, but well, nothing to do about it A small teaser of my soon-to-be-repurposed entry WIP.
