Thanks @de Gothia! It took awhile to answer your post, cause I waited to get to the computer to find the sticker id on Bricklink.... but that didn't happen Thanx @Henjin_Quilones for the information on the stickers. I didn't know that you had used it in a build . I hope that it's ok.

Great story @Patgeo! I looking forwards to hear more of that!

Awesome man! Really awesome! That word is a bit used now.... but it's an awesome word

Thanks man!

Great work! I like the colour scheme of the roof. And the logg that is sawed into planks! Beautiful!

Thanks! Zamorah has been disconnected from the world for awhile. So they have got a unique style with the armour and weapons. Before I put them together i tought that it maybe där going to look a bit rugh or to much Nocturnus. But when I asembled them I think it fits well Thanks.

Your dragons is spectacular! You are setting a high GoH standard for dragons =) I have a plan to build at least one dragon. Haven't done it before. But I will probably use yours as inspiration

Welcome Lord Wineyard! That's awesome you joined GoH and the best Guild! Seeing forward to see your amazing builds in GoH!

Thanks alot! My idea was that it was good to show the vision of the city before building smaller parts of it. Then it's easier to tell the story. The frame/border of the build I was thinking that I can use again in other MOCs (if it fits in size) so it han be like a trademark for the city. But only the city and in Avalonia. Other MOCs is going to have another or no frame/border. Thanks. I will try make MOCs that have smaler scenes as well to tell the story. It's one of the reasons I joined, the chance to tell a story with Lego.

Yes. I wanted a unique crest för Zamorah. The sticker is from Elves I think

Thanks! I'm a purist ? Bricklink nr 35035

First post updated: TASK 1 - Soldiers of Zamorah Zamorah has got special trained guardians called Guardians of Zamorah. They have been choosen at a early age to live a life in celibate and practiced cobat art and warfare. They are a elite force trained to defend Zamorah Zamorah has also got regular troops in case of war.

Thanks! I will start with the HSS soon. But I will try challange 1 first Thanks! Yeah it's easy to protect. But not the most efficient way to transport gods and stuff. But the fly in and out most of the time. Byt I liked that it has got a port. The idea was ready before i read about HSS, but it's a plus

Thanks allt! Yeah, the dome was necesary to show the magical protection. But I also like the one without better.

Ok. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks man! I have used the most of my fleshies for our Steampunk CB - Ruins of San Victoria. Have a big box of yellow heads. So I thought I should use them. But I agree with you... it would look better Thanks. I will have two lines in the story. Buildings and HSS in Zamorah and the story of Parzival. But I will bring them together later on. I'm new here so I'm not sure of how everybody else does this. But I felt that I wanted to collect it and link everything together. I hope I'll manage to do that ?

Thanx! Yeah i didn't have enough spikes so the bushes was a great way to fill it up. The dome is really hard to get a good photo of. I only use natural outside light and a mobile cam. It's difficult to see the whole build trough the glass IRL as well. I built all the MOCs for the story and till photos of it in a few hours. So I'm glad a made it and I'm satisfied with the outcome. Next MOCs I will put a little more love into ?

Yeah. They all got a memory loss so that that they came up with. They will find ont their real names later in the story. Yeah, I have a few things to build. But I tought it would be nice to see the progress as well. I've got the army. Maybe I will build it up and take photos this weekend. HSS will probably take all autum or more... Thanks!

Thanx! I was looking for a traingle sign when I found the toolbox. It was perfect. Feels a bit like cheating cause it was so simple when I used it ? Thanks! The green feathers was in our LUG-bulk last time. But I regret that I didn't ordered the spikes and cattle horns as well. But I think Fullplate did: https://flic.kr/p/Kg3zEX Thanks man! Thanks. I was planing to take the photo with the MOC outside with a view.... But I didn't have the time, so I cheated ?

Thanks! The mountain is carved out bybthe mining underneath the city and now the Dragons live. A little bit like in that Terry Pratchet Book about Discworld. The river is now going trough the mountain so they have a port/dock there. I started with the mountain like it is and built the story around it. Yeah. I took a decision that elves are flesh so you can seperate them from man even when they got helmets. They also look more pure in flesh, a bit better if you see what I mean. The lightening wasn't easy. I had like 5 hours to build and take photos of the storytelling MOCs ?

Thanks man. Yeah I got some inspiration from FullPlate's micro landscape. But I wanted to keep it green. I can't build without it ??

It's located in the north of Avalonia at the border to Mitgardia by the river. The city is predominantly populated by humans, elfs, dwarves and fauns. For many hundreds of years, The Aurum Order has ruled Zamorah with an ancient family of men named af Drachen as their leaders. Surrounding the mountain are larger land areas belonging to the city. For the most part, the lands are covered with farms, livestock farmers and smaller villages. All of it suppling the city with food. The mountain under Zamorah is also polulated by Dragons. They live in coevolution with the druids and dragon riders of Zamorah. Read more here: The history of Zamorah TASK 4 - HSS Current status of Zamorah = Building for City Read more here TASK 5 - Stronghold As a start I will post the micro scale build of Zamorah. Maybe I will build something bigger later. Task 6 - Brand of trade Zamorah have two different Brand of trade that is specific for Zamorah. First it is the weapon and armor and other merchandise made of the valuable metal Aurumium. Read more about Aurumium and Zamorah here. Here is a tradesman and armorer that crafts and sell high quality armor in the Wyvernstone Village

Ohh thanks! That's great! I think I came up with a story that can explain why nobody (expect the rich) knew about it in a convincing way. Now I have to start the HSS builds =)
