Nice scene!!! I also like the variaton of minifigs!!

I still disagree with Derfel. ISC has made the first thread and the first story of Historica (the one we see in almost every Guildtopic) and there it literally stands: "After 100 years of peace, the Guilds are assembling their forces." So Avalonia can't be only 2 years old...

Like always, tons of details (literaly) and absolutely stunning!! It certainly gives a Mystic Isles feeling (even I have never visited myself ) !

Wearing Orc-outfits ain't no trick our scouts use. It's very dangerous as Orcs are not so popular in many parts of Historica Still a strange case

I made a Historica History in the sign up thread some time ago. In here I had to be aware of 2 things: - Avalonia is the youngest guild, only 2 years old (First post of Avalonia) - The 4 guilds have already celebrated recently 100 years without wars... So I made the Guild Avalonia 102 years old to combine those 2 contradictions. And to help you with your history (really nice idea btw! ): The history seen through Geschi Edi Nissi (Historyprofessor of Mpya Stedor) : More than 6000 years ago: - The powerful race of the Druids lived in the regions of nowadays Avalonia. They are the first signs of life in this continent. Only remainings of their temples and shrines can be found with drawings of their rituals. 4000 years ago: - The last of the Druids died. The Spell Of Peace And Protection is cast and buried in a mysterious shrine, still not found. 3500 years ago: - Being banned from the surfaces of other continents, the Drow starts construction of it's first mayor city inside the Rakath Mountains. Living under the surface for the next 1200 years. - All kinds of mysterious creatures are living on the surface of the continent. 3400 years ago: - Elves arriving at the continent in their crusade against the Drow, starting a tribe in the forrests. 3000 years ago: - Some traders from another continent arrives at the Great Southern Grasslands (nowadays Kaliphlin). They are nomads so they come and go. Only a few of them stays here to start a new nomad life. 2700 years ago: - Elves finally found a Drow city. Start of many Elves-Drows wars in our continent. 2500 years ago: - A few nomads decides to construct a city somewhere in the Great Southern Grasslands. They call it Kaligem and call themselves Kaliphlins. 2300 years ago: - After 400 years of war, the resources of the Drow starts to being empty. The current Drow-lord starts with conquering nowadays Nocturnus. At this moment a green area with many vegetation. 2000 years ago: - The first known civilization in Mitgardia with men fighting the dragons, fighting hopelessly out powered by the dragon, but managing to push most dragons out of our realm. - The city of Kaligem is getting more and more fame across the globe as wealth rained for the residents of the city and the Kaliphlins decided to make a second wall, defended by golden towers. - Nocturnus is getting darker and darker as the Drow together with the Dragons are adapting the region to their needs. - Drow starts with conquering rest of Historica 1900 years ago: - Drows conquered the last big Elves city. The surviving Elves lived as outlaws in the forrests, hiding for Drow-patrols. 1800 years ago: - the Legendary Warrior who defeated the drow as the attempted to take Mitgardia as their own home, but he shall defeat them using the power of the ancients, a power none today still possess, the Language of Supernal Beings, like the Dragons. He was given the title of Jarl, and is leader of the Northern Lands of Mitgardia. - Failed siege of Kaligem by the Drows. The Kaliphlins constructs the major temple for Bonash, their deity to thank him for their victory. - The Drow are banned to their cities under the Rakath Mountains again. Drow Raids in every part of Historica starts. 1500 years ago: - the great decline of Mitgardia, a period of time when civilization became scarce as the Jarl at the time was corrupt and cared not for his people. - Santani Bela'Sti Fi'Ru of the House of Santani is the new Lord of Kaliphlin. He starts spreading the wealth of Kaligem throughout the continent and starts conquering Historica. 1400 years ago: - Kaliphlin conquered almost all of nowadays Historica. Cedrica is founded to make a more central capital. 1350 years ago: - Kaliphlin starts the siege of the last holdout not yet conquered, the Darkland Bastion Everlast in the East, leader of the army is Santani b'Rack Ji'Fall. His son Santani Ar'Mani Ji'Teel decided to transport the wealth of Kaligem to Cedrica. 1345 years ago: - Everlast falled as the enemy disappeared. Kaliphlin controls now all of Historica. - the God Bonash and the God Ashroth starts the siege of Kaligem as revenge for all the wealth deported to Cedrica. The residents started offering all their wealth at once and even people to please Bonash again. - Bonash and Ashroths starts fighting eachother. Ashroth has been killed and Bonash heavily injured and one of their magic waves casted a hugh standstorm allover Kaligem, making Kaligem disappear from the map. The Great Southern Grasslands are transformed into a hot desert. 1300 years ago: - Due the fall of Kaligem, Kaliphlin was not able anymore to control Historica, new factions arrised and they started fighting eachother. Thousand years of war started. 200 years ago: - the rise of the New Mitgardian Dynasty, a period of time where a very popular and kind family took the Jarl's throne, and still rules today. 120 years ago: - The Avalonia guild conquered the Western region of the continent. The tribe of Elves pledged their alliance to the house of Rex. 102 years ago: - The western region of the continent was finally reunited under one flag: the flag of Avalonia. 100 years ago: -Origins of Historica The bard’s song tells a tale of a world long forgotten, Race against race, clan against clan, shields clashed with swords; long ago when Men of the Lion fought Men of the Falcon, and human armies succumbed to Orcs and undead. Each group clashed with its neighbor for power, unleashing upon the world a great scourge, and the arcane land was thrown into chaos. When it all seemed but lost, a council of wise men and sages was summoned. From all the lands they came to convene in the old world’s great city; the fortress of Cedrica. To settle the grievance and end a millennium of bloodshed, the sages declined all the treaties of old and joined all the clans into one mighty Kingdom; Historica. They founded the Four Great Regions- each one a realm in itself; - Mitgardia in the North, Nocturnus in the East, Kaliphlin in the South and Avalonia in the West, so that trade routes would spring up and clans would meet in the markets and not in the theatre of war. The wise men chose a family of great honor, to uphold the truce and to keep the four guilds from dispute, and descendants of that mighty kin to this day rule the Central lands of Historica. So goes the legend. For ten decades the races of old have migrated and spread through the world, following the trade routes, establishing cultures and prospering towns. Today - it is a world of wonder and natural beauty; a realm where a man and a woman may find peace. But peace is short lived… Treacherous assassins have tried to murder the King! The capital is in shock and there will be repercussions; the Four Regions assemble their forces as the balance of power shifts, and blame is passed around. For the first time in a century, the guilds of Historica build up old defenses and prepare for the inevitable confrontation; everything hangs in the balance, and Historica is on the verge of chaos once more… Guildsmen; this is the world you inhabit, this is the place where you will make your fortune, build a mighty empire and battle for the glory and honor of the banner…

Nice build! If you want, it may be located in the city of Mpya Stedor! (if you accept the offer, I'll make a copy of your embassy when building the embassy section of the city)

Megablocks, my scout has disappeared somewhere here :( Maybe he was just affraid of the blood and ran away, that's possible too Nice build!

I am proud to be Kaliphlin and really happy I am in this Guild If I had to do all my MOC's in Avalonia, the vegetation would cost me a fortune

Robuko: Really nice so far!! For the ball-room gaps: you can put some technic bricks (connectors) in it (I don't know the name but it fits perfectly in the 1x2 bricks with hole. I am not talking about the connectors to put 2 1x2 bricks with hole together, but the smaller ones with just a small stud at one side. Here you can place a figure or a candle on ------------- Noooo! That would be mean if free builds have to be finished before 31 January My palace will be finished maybe 2 February, so 2 days too late

Megablocks!!! Again??? My explorer/scout travelled allover Historica collecting the newest information and again somewhere in Avalonia he got lost.... All we know is that he was collecting information about the Assassins Guild near the Border Wall Outpost Lord Damaximus will send out his best and most notorious Ninja Scout/Explorer (and Assassin this time) to investigate the case and to try to collect the lost information as well to complete the mission of the previous one. Lord Damaximus is absolutely not pleased as this is already the second Explorer he lost in Avalonia (first one disappeared somewhere at the Mystic Faerie Forest). Also, somehow the map of Avalonia disappeared out of the informationroom. The Assassins (and Explorers Guild) of Mpya Stedor is investigating this case as well... (out of character) - Luckily it was only half an hour work I lost, but seriously, I hate it - I am sure no one of the MOD's of Eurobricks will never read this, but isn't it possible to safe the new data when for example the new page refreshes without saving it first? I am active at another forum (a soccer game) and there you may click "previous" and then "forward" so many times as you want, the new text will still be in the editor. I have not really the computerskills to explain it (to make something clear: the page refreshed when I wanted to replace a link, not by clicking previous I work with 2 tab's: one for editing this and one for the information) - At Avalonia: I think we need a new map of your Guild, the previous one I had is a broken link nowadays...

Nice kitchen!!! (out character): I work in the Horeca as student-job (to gain some money for Lego and partying (and to put some on the bank as well)) and I had to laugh when seeing this picture and reading the text (in character) My embassador Haarloos asked if there would be some human flesh meat as well? (I think he is not the only werewolf asking that). But if that is esthetically not possible, it's no problem, as due the many adventures in the past, Haarloos learned to eat all different animals as well. And he is already talking non stop about the good grilled owls your chef is so famous for

Nice embassy! When I first saw the Challenge, buildings like this were the things I expected, so well done! (to the others: nothing wrong with big castles for embassies, but in times of war (even considering Kaliphlin will be the last Guild in war), it's kind of stupid to siege castles in your own Guild ) You got a place/city in Kaliphlin to host your embassy already?

Really great Embassy!!!! I also like your vegetation and minifigs! Even it is quite symmetric for an old tree, it's absolutely not disturbing, so very great job with the Oak One question: I see a dwarve, minotaur, some elves, a normal guy and some kind of I don't know what it is. Who is that sitting minifig? => never mind: a reptilian where you found him?

Ozirbares? :D or Zwarjagars or Blackoodies

Note: I know there is a lot work for me to do to update everything, but that will be for next week. Monday my last exam and after that some partying and working

I'll use 30 of those rocks :D but I am planning to make a MOC in 2 or 3 months with a buidling at a mountain/hill, so that's why I ordered so many at once :D

Received yesterday my order with 136 4x2x6 rock bricks and some tan and brown plates my embassy is almost finished, just have to do the tentsails :) max is 48 x 48? Also the free builds, is it monthly or the period of a challenge? My palace is almost finished, but something went wrong with the last order I am waiting for so I have to wait till he send it again :(

As Eomer is beside LEGOlas the only elf TLC is producing, you can better collect some Eomers then and change their faces... Also, Boromir and king Theoden really looks like eachother in the movies, so it would be really difficult for TLC to make a big difference in their faces Helm's Deep looks fantastic!!! Only some more minifigs in it would be more fun :D But then again, 99 dollar is not bad at all for such a set! Oh, and am I the only one who saw the new orc shields? I can't wait to have some of them!! and another thing, I saw most LOTR already 3 or 4 times, but please help me, when did the spider Shelob appeared in the movie, I can't remember it ???

I really like the minifigs! I will collect them all for sure (and probably the sets too!) I am not that fanatic to argue about some clothing colours, as in the previous Licenced Themes, the clothing wasn't always so accurate neither... But this theme will be Lego...wait for it...ndary for sure!!!

I, Lord Damaximus of Mpya Stedor sent the Champion of the Palace Opening Celebration Tournament as our candidate for the Annual Valentine Gladiator Games in the glorious Drow City! Ladies and Gentlemen, here is Sir Ereh Ahn Roblaw! His weapons: - Ximus Spear (the thing at his horse, a really powerfull weapon protecting the hand and pincing through every armor) - The Blade of Roblaw, a symbol of his family, passed by father to son. Sharp as claws of a cat catching a fish. - The Longspear of Mpya Stedor. Given to the Champion who is defending the honour of Mpya Stedor. Strong and with the flag of Kaliphlin attached. - Atlarka Shield. A dozen of those shield were given to Mpya Stedor as a gift for the celebration of the alliance between Atlarka and Ximus. This shield can absorp Magical Casts and is arrowproof. - Gladiator Xedin Ha Helmet. Once belonged to the notorious gladiator Xedin Ha. After Ereh Ahn Roblaw defeated him, Xedin Ha offered his Helmet as token of his defeat. Made of the strongest Dwarven metal.

medieval New Orleans??? :p I really like how you did the paths to the huts! Great job also adding a Kaliphlin merchant ^^ Also nice detailing and use of food!

It definitely looks like the picture!!! Great usage of colours! it's sobre (I mean not to much variaton) but that makes it just more beautiful!

maybe it is because we got a micro-climate in our bay. Oh well, we don't complain

At the Kaliphlin side of the mountains, there is snow

Or if you give every gladiator a number and for the first round you let them all fight against eachother till there are 4/8/16/32/64 left. To do this, just loot 16/32/64 numbers and those Gladiators will go to the elimination round where its 1x1, winners to the next round and so on and so on. I'll use this to define my Champion out of 30 other competitors
