Thanks alot. I feel greatfull and honoured by your words Thanks. It was like a year ago I told my idea of this scene for Add51. So we put all of his still existing MOCs together and I expanded the scene with my MOCs done this summer. So it has taken awhile.

Thanks. My Kaliphlin builds and scenes are inspired by MOCs done by @adde51 and @Gideon. And doing a scene in Mophet, a town mostly built by Adde51, I had to adapt to the previous MOCs done by Adde51. And I"m pleased with the outcome. On Hidamus residence I tried different techniques for the walls. One of those I have wanted to test for a long time. I have alot of tan "Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Door Rail" from parting out two Big Ben sets. So I used those with jumper plates an tiles. Thanks. I've been building the story for like 1,5 years And i'm far from coming home to Avalonia. With this pace it will take 10 years with only the ideas I have now Thanks Hahaha thanks Thanks alot! Thats a great "betyg" (didn't find the right english wird for it). By the way. What do you think of mine and @Full Plate group name on Lego Masters Sverige. Have you watched the show?

Thanks! It was awesome to see all all of Adde51's builds in one layout and fun to expamd the scene with a square and bildings. The bended bricks in teal was a given roof piece. And I then remembered those printed dish pieces. I'm quite pleased with how it looked. The sandgreen and white was given as sand green is an avalonian colour and the colour of Zamorah's crest. I'm glad that you say that. It's hard to fit a MOC besides another great builders MOC. Even if you both like details It's hard to get the right amount of details and color combinations. A common problem with Community Builds. Thanks. A thought that I would go further with coloured pieces like teal and also coral. I was inspired by tha latest Aladdin movie. But I kind of chickened out and scaled the colours down. I love building minifigs. Some of them I'm quite pleased with. But many is ok. It was alot of figs to build

The journey of Parzival Chapter I, part V Snakes of Mophet Previous Chapter: Chapter I, part IV - Outside the gates of Mophet Intro builds by @adde51 Tabibs Study Tabib and the crow (Picture above by Adde51) The next morning the slave trader and his men took the carriage and walked into the city of Mophet. It was crowded with people and creatures/beings inside of the city walls. Various strange smells, chatter, laughter and screams filled the air. They passed by buildings with streets and came to a square full of people. Z looked out of the bars and saw all kinds of people running around. On the other side of the carriage there was a camel looking into the cage drooling on the bars as they passed by. It was a lot to take in for the tired prisoners. The company came to a stop in a square. There was some kind of crowd ahead. "- What's happening?" Pointy asked "- I don't know. I can't see" Hoves side from the front of the carriage. "- Kraaah, be ready, be ready. Kraaah!" Crow said when he landed on top of the cage. "- Be ready for what?" Z said out loud. Left-eye turn his head and looked at Z with a confused look. "- What did you say?" "- Erm, nothing" Z said "- Boy will come, be ready, kraaah" A little boy came up to Z beside the carriage. "- Pssst, you" he said and looked at Z "- I've got a message for you. There will be a commotion ahead soon, don't mind it. Tell your friends to be ready. I will open the cage door and let you out. Then you have to follow me quickly down under ground. We only got a few seconds!" (Picture above by Adde51) Z told the others and they got ready. After awhile the crowd started to scatter and people started to scream. People ran past the carriage. They heard a lady screaming of fear and soon they all saw that the ground was full of snakes that were hissing and trying to bite the nearest persons. The snakes came closer to the elephant and the mage's horse and they started to back away from the snakes. On the other side of the open space they saw a large overturned barrel from which the snakes came out. The mage became furious and started to scream at the man. (Picture above by Adde51) In the commotion the little boy quickly picked the lock and opened the gate. "- Kraaah, hurry. Tabib will come" "- Follow me" The boy whispered. The slaves ran after the boy to a nearby building and into a small door. Inside the door were stairs down to the basement. (Picture above by Adde51) The mage became furious and he began shouting at his guards to protect him. The mage lifted up his staff and started to mumble. "- Stop! Lower your staff!" A voice in the crowd said out loudly. The people in the crowd stood aside and tall man with hair as white as snow and a long beard came out from the crowd and stopped midst if the snakes. The crowd whispered and you could here some say "- It's Tabib" (Picture above by Adde51) The mage became silent as he saw the bearded man. "- You don't rise your staff against any living creature inside the walls of Mophet!" Tabib said in a calm voice that made the whole square go silent. "- Get your filthy snakes away from us Tabib. I’m not afraid of you” the mage screamed. Tabib started to whisper in some odd language and the snakes meander back towards Tabib. “- In Mophet it’s not welcome to use faul and dark magic. Take you men and walk out of the city and go back to Nocturnus.” Tabib responded. “- I have a meeting by the fighting pits. We are not leaving.” “- What is a slave trader as yourself going to do there without any slaves to trade? Tabib said with a hint of a smile on his lips. The mage turned around and looked at the carriage and saw the empty cage. “- Noooooo!!!” Next part... The different builds For this story I had to get some help from my friend and fellow member of SwedishLegoMafia @adde51. Most of the builds is his that he has posted earlier (se below) I built the square and two houses. Then we put it all together for some awesome photos and an awesome part of the city Mophet. Zamorah Embassy in Mophet Since Zamorah opened up for trade with other regions in Historica they built embassies in many cities. This building has the Zamorah Weapon crest and sand green and white colours. Hidamus Family residence This is a house in Mophet Kaliphlin belongs to a wealthy centaur merchant family. In this MOC I tested to blend tan, teal and pearl gold and I think it was a great combo. Adde51‘s buildings Here you can see some of the pictures and links below to Adde51 builds here on GoH.

Great mix of colours and nice trees.

Awesome! A really nice creation and a great prolouge

Great build and awesome names! The pine trees isngreta with the snow on top. The purple ones really fits the build. Maybe those trees is something for @Aurore to describe in her book ?

Amazing man!

Woho amazing. Looking forward to seeimg this grow ??

Thanks! Thanks! It was fun to do. I used at Maglite wrapped in two layers of Lego Store bag to get the sunset light ??

The journey of Parzival Chapter I, part IV Outside the gates of Mophet Chapter I, Part I - The Wakeup Chapter I, Part II - The Arkbri River Oasis Chapter I, Part III - Desert Illusions Just before the sun went down they arrived to Mophet, a city in the desert. "Mophet is a desert oasis along the Oil Road in the Siccus Badlands. It lies about 0,5-1 days ride to the east of where the Oil Road touches on the banks of the mighty Arkbri River. It is strategically located right in between the two larger cities of Barqa and Petrea. It is a settlement which is expanding and its population has been constantly growing over the past few years." (Read more about Mophet in the wiki). Outside the gate to the city many tents, carriages, and other had camped for the night waiting for the city's gates to open in the morning. "- We stay here and make camp before the Dawn and the opening of the gate. Barchi! make some food for us and give the slaves the last of the dried meat. You can refill our supplies in the morning at the market when I meet the others". "- Of course my Lord!" The guard started to unpack a bag whilst the other guards sat down. Z looked at the guards when they sat outside the cage. For some reason Z didn't think they looked like real people. Their faces was hard as stone. He didn't think he had seen anyone of them make any expressions at all. They where like walking statues, or maybe like puppets. "- Have we stopped"? Pointy said and rubbed her eyes. "- I'm so thirsty" "- I heard that they are giving us some food.” Z said. “- That’s great news.” The guard came up top the carriage with some dried meat and bottles of water. The prisoners ate with great appetite. Soon they all lay down to sleep again. In the last rays of sunlight before the sun set Z looked at mage and the guards sitting beside the fireplace. He joined the others and fell asleep on the floor of the carriage. Later that night "- Kraaah, food, food!" Z woke up with a jerk, quite dizzy. “- Krahaaa, the stupid walker, got food!?” “- Is it you again Crow? I it ok if I call you that” Z said inside his mind. Crow looked down on Z between the bars. Z took a little bit of his meat and reached up and gave to Crow. He ate with good appetite. “Good meat, Kraaah” Crow said when he munched on the meat. “Can you help us?” Z asked cautiously. “Can you get help? We are trapped inside this cage!” “- Ask Tabib. Tabib hate slave traders!” “- Can Tabib help us? “- Tabib can help walker with magic neckless” Crow said and looked at Z’s cheast. Z looked down on his cheest. There was no neckless around his neck. Strange he thought. “- Kraaah, Crow come back, Crow help” Crow said and flew away in the night. Z leaned back against the bars wondering what this meant. The sun began to come up on the horizon and it was soon time to go inside the great city of Mophet Next part...

Damn! Man this is beutiful!!!! Great MOC, great photos and awesome building techniques! I really love the detailed textures! You have brought great honour to #swedishlegomafia

Amazing window! I like the idea of flowers in the bush. Do Na'zal have a map of Kaliphlin in there? I need to know for my story

A great build. Nice to see the "exploded" layout.

Great work as usual! I would love to get a copy of that encyclopedia!

Wow, this is fantastic! A beautiful scene with a great mix of colours that give life to the scene.

Great work! Inlike the overall feel of the build. Great colours on the ground and stone work. I like the knights that are more medieval joust type. And welcome back!

Amen to that! #swedishlegomafia Great work man! As usual! I like that this portray a other part of Kali other than sand and stones.

Thanks! That's a great point! My thought was that the bridge where there before the cyclops built their house. But that's not clear in the build. A more simple bridge would look better ?? Thanks man! Yeah the roof is Nice, a typical PaB construction ? Thanks alot! The trees trunk designs is a Fullplate classic ? Maybe I will build a MOC with only vegetation ?. That would be nice

Thanks Man! I tried lime for the first time in Miller's Gardens but this is the first time I incoperate so many green in the same build. Behind the house and in to the lime there's Bright Green, then Lime to green and green to dark green. Some pieces of that Yellowish Green with the lime as well. I'm glad you liked it. It was a bit of a test. The new minifig flower headgear pieces is really nice. I bought a bunch as soon as I saw them. I really agree with you about the cave. The rocks wasn't really a priority in this build. So it was only a fast setup. I built this in a few hours for another thing but thought it would fit for a story =)

Thanks! This is my first build with those 1x2 plates with rounded edges. They are great. Easy to make textures with round 1x1 plates and other plates. I got the idea to the roof when I saw those slopes on the PaB wall. The stream was a easy way mig. I was at first thinking of doing a waterfall. But the little cave made it somewhat mysterious. This is one of many single builds that tell parts of the story about the shire Zamorah. So there isn't any sequel planned for this build. But I'm sure that the cyclops will return in another build. (The true story is that my friend @Full Plate was coming by, so I built this build so we could put his trees in a landscape . The story was a secondary thing that I came up with one night when I couldn't sleep) Thanks. I'm glad that we had two colours and that they fitted well in the colours of the landscape. I like take shoots in minifig 1st person view if I can =)

News from the landlord | ZILMRUD | Avalonia

For a very log time Zamorah was hidden for all of Historica under a magical dome (read more about it here). Only a few selected people knew about the city on the mountain. Recently the spell was liftet and Zamorah was now visible for all, common people, nobles and all other inhabitants of the land. But it wasn't all good news. Many tribes had lived in the Zamorah shire for decades thinking that they lived in the wild lands. But now they lived Zamorah shire. To inform all of the shire the The Aurum Order (rulers of Zamorah) sent out heralds with troops so that they could spread the word and inform all of Zamorah. In every corner of Zamorah there lived tribes of many different kind. Everything from orc bands to Tribes of Minotaurs and Cyclops. In the north west part of Zamorah Urag and his tribe lives. They are farmers and live of the land and has done so for many generations. The lands are wild and there is many dangers for Urag and his family. Two of the Urag's nephews Barq and Gunt has the very important task to protect the tribe from all kind f dangers. They have got some orc armor that they got from a old troll cave in the mountains. When they where patrolling the grounds man and elves came out from the bushes with raised bows and arrows pointing at them. They where told that they should stay calm and show the way to the tribe leader. More strangers came out from the woods, knights and heavily armed soldiers. Barq and Gunt realized that they where over outnumbered and surrounded so they went back to the house so that the strangers could meet Urag. [ Urag gathered his sons and his nephews and met the men. In the midst of the strangers there was a man without armor or weapon. When the tribe was surrounded by the troops the man came forward. He started to speak in common language. The tribes elder and spiritual leader Ashmat where the only one that understand the man, so he had to translate to Urag. The man called himself a Herald of Zamorah and said that he came in peace and that he had very important information about the lands where the tribe lived. The herald told the tribe that they lived in the Zamorah shire and that they had done so all since they moved to this place many generations ago. Zamorah was aware that they lived on the lands and that the rulers of Zamorah didn't mind that. But now that Zamorah was visible to all of Historica the lands was in a risk of being invaded by evil forces. This would affect the tribe as well. The tribe members started to whisper of bad omens and ill times to come. Every one was scared of this men and where very suspicious. Ashmat the elder told that he had seen this coming in his oracle bones for some time now and that they had o be careful and listen to the man. The herald then explained that they could live n the land free of tax if they would stay loyal to Zamorah if the and would be attacked and protect this lands. To help with this four of the tribes strongest men would get fine new armor and weapons free of charge. The herald showed some fine dark armor with inscribed with dragons in gold. This was a mighty gift for the tribe that would help them protect themselves. The herald also said that if they where i trouble Zamorah would send out troops to help. Urag was very pleased with this agreement and shook the heralds hand i agreement.

Amazing figs And as Always great backstory

Thanks for your kind words. I've been away for awhile now. But I hope I can get on the horse again and keep building on my patch of land =) Are you going for the quest of Historical Settlement? This is a great motivation for expanding your settlement =) Most of my builds this summer is to get my settlement to City status. I've done to Town at this point. Only have a town hall left. But that is a big MOC. Maybe I get that done in 2020
