This is one super fantastic build!

Thanks guys! Looking forward to seeing this in some of your MOCs!

Nocturnus is one of the four Guilds of Historica and as you posted in the Guilds of Historica sub-forum, I figured you were joining one of the guilds. Read more here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=83406entry1617023

Nice vig! Are you signing up for Nocturnus?

Honestly somehow I missed that post. Sorry to hear about your wife and son....

Looks good...

Nightstalker, are you still in or did you want to participate only in one of the other two storylines? Either way is fine with me, just need to know whether to include your characters or leave them out. Come Sunday morning, I plan to photograph all the participating characters discussing the ingredients at Masa's temporary HQ in Cedrica.

Just want to put out a reminder that if you are planning to participate in either this or Collecting the Pieces, the official deadline to sign up is fast approaching- August 17th.

Aden's Gate is currently under construction. That is just one of the two towers on either side of the bridge WIP that I posted a few weeks or so ago. I should have an updated WIP picture up in a few weeks showing the bridge with the tower construction together.

Does Si-MOCS represent Petraea?

I'll be making one for Aden's Gate but I want to complete my MOC first.

My main reason for moving Masa from Barqa was that my style didn't really seem to fit in very well with other Barqa builds as I have only a limited supply of tan bricks. I'm sure we can always come up with some reason why certain cities are missing a representative...

Masa has left Barqa taking up residence in Aden's Gate, East Gorr for which he would be the representative on the council. Major cities such as Barqa, Petraea, and Qarkyr would theoretically probably be represented by minor councils who elect a representative to send to the main council as for example I know that there were several members who took up residence in Barqa. Gideon won the Kaliphlin trophy for challenge 6 and is still active here in GoH so definitely should be allowed on the council.

I think he is talking about the current core which would be rog, ecc, and ZC...

Glad to see a Nocturnus showing!

Those trees look huge and nicely built! Nice layout although I prefer to see Lego in an isolated atmosphere....

Well to be honest, we already have a natural formed council seeing we already have a group discussion going ironically on the subject of a council. However, I did converse a bit with ZC about Si-MOCs replacement. As it seems that Si-MOCs will not be continuing his official leadership position of Kaliphlin during Book 2 (we can still keep Flagg around as in game leader) there will most likely be someone taking his place as the plan for book two is to have the three guild "leaders" whose guilds are not the home of the action will be doing the judging. I gave my opinion on who I thought would make a good replacement and I think it might help with the decision making process if you messaged ZC your opinions as well.

It has become rather quiet in here again... Everyone out enjoying the warm weather?

Nice curve to that roof and your stonework looks great as well! Nicely done.

This is so beautiful! Awesome stuff!

What kind of AFOL are you? Are you a member of a LUG? No, I tried contacting the only LUG within 50 miles of me but got no response. Would you consider supporting more actively the online AFOL community (e.g. Eurobricks) as moderator, regulator (indexing, ...), making set reviews, etc.? Yes If the answer is yes, where do you possibly see yourself contributing? I guess wherever there was a need but Sci-fi and Historical themes are my thing.

Thanks again for the comments! Thanks! I think I have seen a link for that thread somewhere. Now to find it. Thanks man! I don't think I have enough patience to come up with complicated solutions...

A little Avalonian elf peeks out from behind a rock. "What was that?" he asks himself. "It sounded like a dragon's roar such as has not been heard in Avalonia for quite some time. Even the ground shook."
