I wrote something nice, then the forum crashed... Love the green roof, wooden elements and the fact that you built an interior :D Great build!

Congrats to Mickey, again! A surprising victory indeed! There was a lot of good entries, I liked Gabe's, Torgar's and Legonardo's builds the most. And Jason Cicchini's build and idea had so much charm that it really won me over, with mountain dwellers and domesticated spiders :D (I would've probably voted for this guild) That being said Mikael Kalores's idea was (IMHO) the best. Angeli had a neat idea as well, but I guess he was disqulified...?

This hall is... great!! But seriously, it looks amazing, the details, the colours, the landscaping, and on top of all that, it just screams to be played with!

Sorry for not commenting earlier, this is maybe my favourite build for this challenge, the colours are so nicely put and alive that I can almost hear the murmur and the background music from the teashop I'm even thinking of hiring some of those pig demons to do some dirty work for me back at Nocturnus ;) Best of luck!

Yeah! Those exo-force guys are mean ;) Concerning stud limit, it is 14x20 in the base and a little longer on the tower floor level, which, I believe is allowed. If not, you can count just the tower as my vignette ;) Once more, thanks for the comments everyone! :)

These are great! Can't wait to see some larger (medium?) sets :D

Thx guys! I was going for something new, to look like it doesn't belong in any of the other guilds and I hope I succeded in that. The chamber is a little crammy, but afterall, there was a size limit. Anyways, I'll build something bigger in this style and colour scheme as soon as I am able, with some new minifigs as well. :D

So, the Drow are in exile...? We'll just have to hold the fort till they reemerge. @Legonardo, you are most welcome to aid us, you could make something like a special task force that has been sent to Nocturnus to battle the elementals... or you could have been trapped on this side of the Rakath and have to work together with the Nocturnians in order to survive... At the end, you can always convert and our chief hypnotist..er..I mean motivational speaker will make sure you remain loyal

Excellent build! And I love that everybody looks so gruff

I like this new challenge as well, I was just preparing to build some more neon-swamp thingies so this came in perfectly. Btw. here's my entry for the mini-challenge Arcanos - the 5th guild Apart from that, I'm thinking of changing my avatar (my character, that is), would it be ok if I kill-off Gza'ar and add someone new instead?

"...I haven't been atop the Plavetnyr Summit since I was but a boy, why did the Oracle summon me now?" - the Prince muttered to himself standing on a plateau accross the worned out Oracle Tower. "Glad to see you made it to the Summit, your Highness" - the voice said. Prince wasn't sure if it was only in his head or it echoed all around him - "Make your way accross the bridge, we have much to discuss". Many men saught the Oracle, but in order to find it, they had to climb the Plavetnyr mountain and actually locate the right peak, upon arriving the Oracle Tower would appear if the person would be dim worthy. The Prince came alone. He thought it to be the best. The tower seemed to have been cloaked by clouds and mist, after hearing the voice, a bridge which looked like it was made solely out of light, slowly appeared, connecting the plateau with the Tower. "Now, there is a great danger looming over us, my Prince. A Change took place, which threatens to upset the very balance of the world... You have felt it yourself haven't you?" Prince nodded in silence. The Oracle continued: "The land of Historica is in perril, our aid is needed" "Historica? But we severed all ties to them long ago, why should we care about them?" "It is not only Historica that is at stake, my Prince... it's the whole World"... Guild name: Arcanos Guild Location: far south off the shores of Kaliphin Flag: white and blue - representing magic and serenity; their tothem animal is The Great White Owl. Ruler: Prince Verenex - leaders of Arcanos hold the heireditary title "prince" claiming connection to the bloodline of the High King of Historica Capitol: The city of Manakruhm Some of its people: The Arcane Guard - Elite warriors of Arcanos, carrying magical shields able to absorb the damage dealt upon them and convert it against their foes, they wield enchanted weapons as well. The one in the middle is Captain Yvex, their leader. Magister Matrox, seneshal to the Prince. People of Arcanos, are mostly made out of humans, elves and half-elves, but there may be others in the Wilderness: Arcanians are naturaly adept in magic, it comes easy to them as lawnmowing does to Avalonians. Apart from that, they are very crafty in the art of stealth, whether it be camouflage, disguise, or simply being unseen. This enables them to easily infiltrate the ranks of Historians if the need arises...

If you combine red with dark bley or grey, red should be dominant. If comibining with white, red should be an inside colour.

Hehehe, a chi blocker, nice This is Bonnie Klanker while everybody is prepering for the main event Bonnie is making sure that the Great Arena is clean of hulk-rats. Not even death by stampedoing brontobeatles stopped her in performing her duties! Nagas of the eastern shore sent their champion beauty as well sadly, she is not informed that beauty contest means more then beating some other ladies to death in a free-for-all brawl... or maybe she is informed all too well...? Here is a rarity indeed, Lady Florence Lightdimmer, a Nocturnian paladin: sworn to protect the king's name and rid the world of all lesser species like dwarves and halflings, her special talents include hammering, bashing skulls and haiku. The Drow let her enter despite her madness because she is so damn amusing... After all is over they'll probably leave her in the arena... and let loose the brontobeatles And lastly, this is Trixie: a caravan driver, got drunk one day and woke up in some gutter with an application for a beauty pageant, so she decided to give it a try. She is confident that she could outdrink any of her competitors.

Hm... I say we should support the claims of the Black wizard! Afterall, king has been oppressing us for too long, always keeping us down, proclaiming this and proclaiming that... and this Black wizard guy seems kinda trustworthy @Hyler, that would be great, if my suggestion about the 5th guild doesn't go through, we can always make Nocturnus community build - great white city full of tresures and relics and our troops looting it!

Sadly I don't have nearly enough white bricks to construct that whole castle, at least not for now... but hopefully I'll build its central tower (or something like that) any time soon... And for the Oracle tower for the challenge entry I plan to add some details, as well as some rocks on which it'll stand, make it taller maybe...

Ahahahaha, awesome

Hm, I had a nice idea about the new guild challenge as well This is only a work in progress, but I was eager to share it since this is the first thing I built in months: this will hopefuly become The Oracle tower, standing lonely on a mountains peak, but still resembling the architecture of the cities: I envisioned it to be a guild of sages, mystics and seers, they've never interfered in the conflicts of Historica since they see themselves as keepers of balance of the World. But after they have been the victims of the elemental mayham as well, some of them believe they should intervene, and my scene should depict their ruler asking the Prophet for an advice... Have yet to work on the story, I guess their colours will be white and blue and their special abilities will have something to do with clairvoyance and/or being stealthy... Still lacking a name... More to come...

Hehehehe, there can be only one... fairest of them all :) ... And here's the entourage of our beloved Tinera, standing in awe under the lights of Lith My'athar: none of these lovely ladies will be competing herself, but all of them are here with a purpose - to, in whatever way they can, aid Tinera win the prize. First here is her fitness couch - lovely Gno: always ready, always agile and always there with a kind word whenever Tinera is feeling uninspired or under the weather... (that word usualy being "SMASH!") Second we have Tinera's vocal coach and a dear, dear friend - Doom Priestess Kilminstra. A good listener, known scholar and the best god-damn performer of sacrificial rituals in the whole Moruth. Tinera is still pondering should her talent (for the talent show part of the contest) be singing or swordplay, so Kilminstra is hoping she would tip the scales in favour of singing... For it would be pitty if she had carried all that banshee essence in vain... And finaly, leader of our little expedition and Chairman of the Warlock guild's beauty pageant - Lady Vapulia Teague: A lady, a philanthropist, a necromancer, Vapulia was Tinera's mentor, teaching her etiquette, fencing, waltz and the dark arts. She has come all this way to see her pupil win... or die trying.

Meet Tinera one of the many bastards spawned by the Grand Warlock himself in a time he often refers as "the glory days". As a half-orc, she possesses both the heightened physical atributes of an orc, as well as the wits and the guile of a demon-tainted human. Skilled in man to man (or woman) combat, with her two blades she is a force to be reckoned with http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/Hieronymus_Wolf/P8210018.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/Hieronymus_Wolf/P8210019.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/Hieronymus_Wolf/P8210020.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/Hieronymus_Wolf/P8210021.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/Hieronymus_Wolf/P8210022.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/Hieronymus_Wolf/P8210023.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/Hieronymus_Wolf/P8210024.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/Hieronymus_Wolf/P8210025.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/Hieronymus_Wolf/P8210026.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp142/Hieronymus_Wolf/P8210027.jpg Some people just learn that the hard way... As beautiful as she is deadly, songs are yet to be sung of - Tinera

This is definetly my favourite Drow building so far! Too bad it's somewhere far away in the north and I won't be able to see it until my portal starts to work properly...

Excellent work! This is probably my favourite embassy!

Most noble of all queens, The Warlocks are honored by your invitation and will be glad to send a representative to compete in the grandest tournament Historica has ever seen. You will, of course, excuse us for not sending our very best fighter, for we do want to give the other participants a sporting chance. However, you will find our champion more then adequate, allow me to introduce Lady Silia: She's a daughter of a certain nocturnian nobleman who wanted his heiress to master the ways of the dark arts. Though she is still learning, she has proven to be a tough nut to crack to those who dared challenge her. Some would find sending a girl to such a tournament questionable, but The Warlocks believe that the powers of the Void are equaly deadly when wielded by a woman, as well as a man (maybe even more so); and I sincerely hope the greatest of the queens will find our choice to her liking. I only hope my busy schedule will allow me to watch the fights in person, best regards to the contestors, Grand Warlock Gza'ar

Hmm, neighter am I for that matter, I think they stopped updating it when they began signing up on the guild threads.

No-no, by all means, everyone is welcome here, we just don't like tresspassers. It is true that we can see visitors from afar, but it is polite to announce your arrival. And The Warlocks guarantee safety to all the ambassadors! Hahahaha, "campy" - excellent choice of words, I was going for that old-comics-villain thing (that's why the monocle and the evil moustache!), glad you enjoyed it
