Great build with beautiful colors.

Sorry. the sigfig post is now updated.

Thanks for all positive welcoming. I will enjoy building within this community. I reused a build in the introduction of sigfig Gyrdher for his background story. The build is a recreation of a large farm from the Iron Age. A 5th century settlement that has been excavated by archaeologists near Norrkoping, Sweden. I will post the build in a separate topic with some information of the excavation findings. For GoH, I plan to build with focus on the medieval society around Faeril. This to challenge myself to build a theme I newer has built before and to include storytelling. Time to build…

Hi, time to introduce my sigfig. Gyrdher, pledge my allegiance to Avalonia! Gyrdher grew up on a farm. He was the youngest of seven boys. To live as a farmer was a hard life, toiling to each year get food on the table for all family members. It was especially hard after the war when the houses and fields had burnt down. Gyrdhers father did not talk about what happened during that hard time. Each day, father and the oldest sons worked hard in the fields. Mother and the youngest son, Gyrdher, had the responsibility of taking care of the farm animals, the cows, the sheep and the pigs. During the hours of work, while feeding and taking care of the animals, his mother would tell stories of the elves that had lived in the forest. In the evenings, Gyrdher dreamed about the elves and of adventures together with them. As time passes, Gyrdher had to take on more responsibly at the farm. He was practical and soon he repaired the house and built furniture when needed. Working with wood became his great joy in life. His dreams about the elves makes Gyrdher want to go on adventures and to find out what lies beyond the farmhouse fence, beyond the hills. One day he packed a small bag with his few belongings. While he was packing, his mother came up to him and placed a jewelry in his hand. The jewelry was made of a dark black metal, attached to a simple leather strap. Gyrdher was surprised because he had never seen the jewelry before. He opened his mouth to ask but mother put her hand gently on his shoulder and looked into his eyes. "Keep it hidden, close to your heart. One day it will help you understand who your ancestors were.” With his mother's words ringing in his ears, he said goodbye to his mother, father and brothers and began walking from his home and out into the big world.

There he stopped and sat down to eat the food he had brought with him while he looked around at all the market stalls. After eating, he walked around and found a market stall where tools for carpentry and cabinet making were for sale. Gyrdher bought tools with his savings as well as a tool chest to store the tools in. IMG_0383.jpg by Mattias Lind, on Flickr Very pleased with himself, Gyrdher went down to the wharf. There lay a boat belonging to a fat merchant headed to Faeril. Gyrdher asked to come along and if he could pay for the trip by helping to row as he had no money left. The merchant looked skeptical at Gyrdher. As a farm boy, he looked strong but to have a boy at the oars who had never rowed in his life did not appeal to the merchant. He muttered to himself that he wanted to get home before his beard grew a meter long. The boy could however fit on the boat anyway and Gyrdher was allowed to come along. IMG_0376.jpg by Mattias Lind, on Flickr When all the goods were loaded, the boat set off down the river. Gyrdher felt light at heart. He stood in the bow and gazed along the river. A new life had begun, an adventure. B2EA6D45-DB4A-4CF5-B7C6-A7E25F885A40 by Mattias Lind, on Flickr

Hi, I'm new on the forum and working on my sigfig introduction story. My sigfig will pledge his allegiance to Avalonia. Is it a good ide to include the location/city where I will start to build? Or shall I avoid any location in the introduction? If I have understad the game engine correct, shall I start building at new location from the scratch. I will be greatfull if any brave citicent of Avalonia can take his or her time to guild a beginner.

Fantastic bookstore. This inspires me to start contributing to Avalonia.

You have an amazing story. I read it from chapter one to here in one go. Exciting and enjoyable to read. And along the way you deliver amazing MOCs. I am inspired to create my own sigfig and start a build journey after reading your posts.

What a beautiful micro build. Love all details to build up the model.

Cute buildings. A peaceful village to live in.

Love to see a MOC related to a historical building. Great MOC.

Wow… Great MOC
