de Gothia

So great Gabe! I love that tower! It looks like it came up from the rockwork, just so smoothly! The figs are really great! So many details packed into this small area! Awesome!

Looks great CJ! I love that pool of lava! The whole scene is very good looking and barren as it would look like so close to the hot lava!

I will try to enter the drow challenge! My first three tasks all in one thread http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=89696

Benoic is a county of Avalonia that lies south east of the great capital city Albion. The County has no larger city only five villages, scattered across the beautiful country side. The river Avonmora runs through Benoic and gives the possibilty for water mills, fishing and transports. Benoic produces mostly grain, milk, meat and lumber but also have a small quarry. The civilans of Benoic are a happy and warm people. After a hard day at work they love to sit down and have a beer and talk to the neighbours. The best days are when there is a big party. People from the different villages come to celebrate with eachother. Map of Benoic Countryside History This small county of Avalonia was once settled by peasants who farmed the rich soils. They lived in peace and harmony with nature. One peasant named John de Gothia became leader of the county and built a small fort near the great Oil Road to Kaliphlin. His son, Stenius, then inherretaded the Lordship of the county. He fortified the small fort to a great stone castle. When the Dark Age of Avalonia came Stenius and his wife and son were all slaughtred on the fields near the Village of Sionach. The only surviving from the family of de Gothia was a young lad and his niece who saw the whole battle from a nearby forest. He swore to revenge the death of his family and bring justice upon those who took his family from him. As the county now was lawless the young lad fled to Albion and started his training to become a knight. When Artorious Rex came to Avalonia de Gothia joined him and became one of the warriors in the "Flight of the Dragons".During the battles to rid Avalonia of evil and unite the land again, Artorious was able to take back de Gothias captured land, and so de Gothia once again ruled the his family´s ancient estate. He choosed to name the County to Benoic. Leadership Leader of the County of Benoic is de Gothia. Nobody knows his first name and it will be a secret to his death. He is married to Lena, daughter of the mighty Elon Chorian. They have to sons, Albion (named after the Capital city of Avalonia) and Elijah. When de Gothia´s family was slaughtred he promised his dying brother to look after Quinn, de Gothia´s niece. She loved de Gothia and was to become the general of his army. During the search for the earth elemental in Book 1 she died. When going on travels in Historica there are three persons who always follow de Gothia. The old Grand Maester, the ambassador and de Gothias oldest friend. Military The army of Benoic is rather small and have several women. All ready to serve and die for Benoic. There are no heavy cavalry in the army, de Gothia works more on a swift and deadly group of soldiers. The Light Cavalry can easily disturb larger armies with smaller attacks. The Ballistas of the army are also easy to handle and are deadly addition to this army. When de Gothia and Lena married, an elite group of soldiers was created. A combination of both Avalonia and Mitgardia in their armour. Only the best from the army can apply to become one of these great warriros. The bagpipers always follow the army when they are marching. The sound of Benoic! Knights Elite soldiers Swordsmen Archers and Bagpipers Pikemen Ballista Benoic soldiers on the march

Holy... This is just so great Kayne! Those Draconians are so cool! Love the combos! The mocs are as always perfect! Great work!

They looks so great! All of the buildings have different details but flows togheter so natural! The photos have a unique touch to them. Do you edit them or are they just so perfectly blurry? :)

Welcome back CJ! My challenge entry is done! Just waiting for some time to take photos! Meanwhile I´m building a moc in Barqa!

A lot of action going on in that small moc and I like that! :) The moc itself is really nice! Keep it up!

So much inspiration here! I love your city layout! The little gatehouse is so neat and good looking! I want to do something similar as well! I have one of my villages that will develop into a larger city in Benoic!

Thanks for all the kind words! Glad you all like it! Kabel: Yes, this is my first cog! I have plans to make two more. I studied your cogs so you have been inspiring my greatly! The houses with all the different green was a celebration to the colours of Avalonia! Now I have so much to build yet so little time! As usual!

Such inspiration! Looks great!! Now I have to do my county as well!!

Great work as always! The wooden structure is looking really good! And as others have said before me; 1980 feat 2013 is great!!!

Such a beauty! To bad it doesn´t stand in Avalonias green countrysides! Great landscaping as well! Fits perfect to Nocturnus!

Looks very promising! Great to see that you listen to the tips given to you! Keep up the good work!

You have some amazing skills LD! Everything you touch seems to turn to gold these days! I just love this one! The angels, the colours and all the great details! Knifes as hinges, brick bricks as shutters!? Just stunning! You are one of the best builders out there and yet so young! Where wil you stop!?

Latest moc is up! Now I´ve to finish the CH moc

de Gothia continues to show his sons the mighty Avalonia. This time they have come to the great harbour town in the west. A ship is ready to set sail to Kaliphlin with ambassadors from both sides. Albion have hundreds of questions to his father about other countries and how they interact with each other. Elijah is busy using his stick to fight a mighty barrel dragon. He wants to see tournaments and learn about the making of swords, not some boring old men talking. C&C as always welcome. I tried to take the photos inside with a flash in my photo tent! It was really tough! I think some of the pics are overexposed..? This moc was supposed to be my last moc for GoH showing the departure of de Gothia. A friend said some wise words and I´m still here!

I have a huge intrest in Lego and mocing. If it wasn´t for swebrick (the swedish forum) and EB, I would not have developed as a mocer and seen all the news, discussing with other members and so on. Of course I will pay EB for this great site! I don´t know any other lego site with such a great forum (except swebrick which I already pay for)

Wow! Just Wow Z! I love it! The path up to the forge, the details on the house and as always the photos! Great work mate!!!

And what a tribute LD! It´s awesome!!!

Holy.....! This is awesome LD! This is truly a masterpiece! Why didn´t I built it like this!!?

I´m happy with Rogueang´s apple pie! Thanks anyway Z!

Sad news NM! Hope your father get´s better soon!!

Haha, now that is something I would like to see! But I´m really glad I stayed, so much to build for Benoic and Avalonia! You are most welcome to Sweden Z and say hello and see my little Legoattic! Thanks infernum, nilfisk and judocus!

So much action and that seal! Wow!!
