Thank you guys!

Great bird and the idea of wings for the cart sides is quite original!

The sand dunes are fantastic! Amazing battle scene and fig combos too. I really like the arrow placements, especially the one through the helmet.

Thank you both! I liked the name Gondolin and decided to go with it , but it is from the Silmarillion. I use Tolkien's way of naming things and using Sindarin or Quenya words in my names. i.e. the Nen in Nendril means water. Thanks guys, I guess figs are easy for me and they take up the time between builds.

I would wait at least until the sides are posted so everything's all sorted out before entries have to be organized.

I just posted it. Looking forward to another great Albion build!

Here's mine - The Nendril

While building up my county, I wanted to establish a remote Elven city and the result was Gondolin. Its origins try back into the ruins of Ferodin that are in the forest. Here I have made a ship of Gondolin and some characters to add to the story. Elven forces of Gondolin Gimrog Ferodin was the great kingdom of elves, but now it is merely ruins just Northwest of Enthall. Long before men came to inhabit the villages that united to form Vanhorn, Elves ruled over the Forest. Territorial battles were common and one such battle laid siege to Ferodin and left it to be reclaimed by the forest it lived in. Rumors exist of the tomb of the Great King Filond being hidden amongst the ruins. The remnants of its people fled to the Western coast of Avalonia and are said to have sailed on to other lands. Of the elves who fled from Ferodin, there was Zenithorne, a lieutenant who, with his last company was somehow separated from the refugees. Now realizing the mistake, Zenithorne moved to regroup with his kin, but the attackers dived him and his company. Unable to get past the enemy, He accepted his fate and pushed his company Northward. After several days, they came the falls of an unknown river and all agreed that there was something magical about this place. Zenithorne and his company remained at these falls for several months and finally decided to establish a kingdom, which was named Gondolin. Zenithorne was crowned King and Gondolin remains one of the last of the Woodland Elf cities. During its height, Ferodin was a great economic power and its bank became renown for security and wealth. An Elven city located in North of Vanhorn and on the Falls of Rhondurin, Gondolin was previously a city apart from Vanhorn, but with new elven representation in the Council of Vanhorn, Gondolin has joined Vanhorn for the benefit of trade and some participation in the affairs of Vanhorn. The city is made of granite walls and straddles the River above the falls. King Ebronshir, descendant of King Zenithorne rules over the city. His close friend and top General, Gimrog, bears a great war hammer, named Cedulil, and is the main correspondent between Vanguard and Gondolin. Gimrog is also in command of the Navy of Gondolin, which is comprised of many small, light ships that can easily navigate the streams that lead into Rhondurin and the great river itself. The colors of Gondolin are Dark Blue, Light Blue, and Gold to honor the natural colors of the Falls of Rhondurin. What King Zenithorne and his soldiers noticed at the Falls was something that has long been hidden from the world of Men. The Falls have special powers that must be mastered before they can be used. Zenithorne spent long days wading in the water and by the time his wife bore a son, Zenithorne could muster the strength of the water at his command. He became master of the River and spent his elder days wandering along the banks. During one such excursion, Zenithorne found a gleaming sapphire on the riverbed. Plucking it from the waters, he realized he had found the heart of Rhondurin and named it Aquilan. It was this stone that granted the powers of the river to Zenithorne. He earned it and it was only then that Aquilan made itself known to the worthy individual. Zenithorne had his smiths fashion a golden necklace and set the stone in it. When Zenithorne died, the necklace was passed down to his son and Aquilan followed the line of Kings to Ebronshir, who now wears it. When the King dies, the jewel will pass to Emilule, his son who is currently at 58 years of age, still quite young for an elf, and he will become the sixth King of Gondolin. A curious part of the powers granted by Aquilan, the children of the one who bears it will always be born with blue eyes. Since the Kings of Gondolin have been of direct blood decent, all who ruled after Zenithore have had blue eyes. King Ebronshir Prince Emilule And Lieutenant Zenithorne Thanks for viewing! C&C Welcome

Wow, the siding is amazing! It's always a pleasure to view your wonderfully textured builds!

Lovely interior! The fire place mosaic is beautiful and the bear rug is great!

Nice, I'm looking forward to it! I also have a ship I've made that will be posted soon (I hope).

Amazing, man! My favorite is the landscaping, but there's so much detail to look at! And the overall design really reflects what I think a castle training area would look like.

Nice figgies! I really like the red arc trooper cape with the yellow cape.

Wonderful story, I was laughing a lot! The trees in the last scene are nicely done, keep it up!

Cool scene! The snail is awesome and those trees look nice. Great job!

Good build! I would prefer to see some slopes, but its not bad without them. The foliage and shed look great!

I will sign up for Simon's side. The trade halts will hit Vanguard, but preparations have been made for something of this nature. In the meantime, the Armies of Vanhorn shall drive the Drow out of the Enchanted Forest. This challenge sounds great, looking forward to all the entries!

Ohhhh, my favorite part has to be the bridge, but those numerous tree designs are great!

The colors worked quite well! It would be a sight to see this castle from a distance.

I think the lavender with the tan makes a very nice effect. And the round window in the back is a great touch!

Wonderful micro scale! I love how green angled plates make great river banks.

Good job, Bregir! Gilbert, those troops look great, the gold helmets are a nice touch!

I love the pillars and the colors of the wall work well together!
