@Yooha Glad you enjoy it! @Grover Something like that...Or some Mitgardian version of Mulan, with more bears...

@Louis of Nutwood Well, well, well... Indeed, I have heard of trees that keep dry, rusty-brown or even dark red leaves throughout the winter. Rumor has it that this is how some tree species react in areas where heavy dark magic spells were thrown - something you would expect on areas where war raged on. I have yet to run a methodical analysis on this subject to try to document which tree species are concerned, to which kind of spell exactly they reacted, and why! Side note : in real-life, this is called marcescence (as far as I know, it's not related to magic though). -- Other side note : I really like your explanations about the limestone and lilypads! Maybe we should create a complete "Natural History of Mitgardia" encyclopedia - plants, animals, and minerals!

Day 12 : Snowman Probably the most famous Mitgardian... Previous | Next

I love them! Especially the dragon's face and expression…

@zoth33 Thank you, I'm really glad you like them and recognised the cat! @Robert8 Thank you very much!

@Alfadas Oh yes she is! @Kai NRG Thank you very much! @Eoin Wallace Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy it! @Grover …indeed!! I have to confess that I like her so much that I'm considering upgrading her to a regular character of my builds and stories. Or, now that you gave me that idea, make her the protagonist of a Mitgardian folk tale about bear cavalry…

Day 11 : Bear Friend In Avalonia, little girls cry out for a unicorn. In Mitgardia, they tame bears. Previous | Next

I really like both the story and build! It will be interesting to read what awaits them at the end of the path (or even on the path)… Concerning the build, I do like the icicles even if they stand on autumn leaves : with the trans-clear studs on the grass, they give the whole build a very suitable damp atmosphere.

I think I love everything in this build! The color palette, the textures of the pathway, house and rampart walls, the patches of snow, the barrel, the crates, the Frozen snowman, …Thank you so much for sharing!

@Aine Thank you, I'm so glad you like it! It's among my favourites...

Day 10 : Weapon Rack Keep everything you need close at hand. Previous | Next

Day 10 : Master Cat Previous | Next

Indeed, that's a Star Wars Advent Calendar tradition! PS: we chose the same day for the weapon rack…

@Kai NRG Thank you very much! @Louis of Nutwood Thank you so much! I'm glad you like the calendar - and the Winter Ale!

@Robert8 I had not thought of that (the minifig was mostly inspired by the princess at the beginning of the "Goose Girl")..but it's so true! Their riding outfit is quite similar!

Day 9 : Berserk Midget Yarrh! Previous | Next

@Yooha Oh my, you're so true : I have not posted the Day 8 character! I'll edit the previous comment to include her, and re-post Day 9 right now...I'm so sorry! Concerning your question, he's not really a specific character from a specific tale - just an archetyp that rather often appears in princess stories, like Lumière (before being turned in a candelabra) from Beauty and the Beast. -- Day 9 : Chamberlain Previous | Next

Day 8 : Riding Princess Previous | Next

@Alfadas Thank you very much!

Day 8 : Training Dummy A mighty sparring partner! Previous | Next

She's really beautiful...And I love that holly branch element.

Day 8 picture is coming, but before... Week 1 Group Shot

@Robert8 & @Aine Yes, I was pleasantly surprised by how well this torso worked for that character!
