You have a knack of bringing to life the feel and essence of what the Mystic Isles is all about. Just perfect

Don't worry, I will be updating the rest tomorrow as I have a day off work. You are not forgotten about. Looking forward to seeing some more mocs of your army's. I really wanna make an army moc, but time is limited for me at the moment and so I am trying to concentrate on building the great Hall.

A beautiful scene and very well lit. You deffinitely captured a legendary feel here, the scene fills Avalonians with pride

Thank you Z!

True!....and a bit of Kalifornication

The girls from Kali? I've heard tales! Kalifornia Love!

Greetings brave guildsmen! These are dark times and our recent actions have made some question if we are doing the right thing. We currently have part of our army camped on the Nocturnus borders with the order to assist the loyal Nocturnians in their fight against the Drow. However, the Drow are growing ever more powerful and I am not sure how long we will be able to hold them in their own land. It is time for all Avalonia to prepare themselves as I fear that dark times are ahead for us all. We must be ready for anything! I have returned from the frontline to prepare a council meeting of the Dragon Flight and there we will discuss and prepare for what ever is coming. Lord de Gothia will be in charge of the army at the Nocturnian border. His orders are to hold back the Drow asking as he can and to fall back to Avalonia if this proves helpless. When the council is ready I shall call de Gothia and the soldiers back so we can all prepare. Something strange is indeed happening. Weather it is the Drow or some other Evil, I do not know. The Finding of the crystals has huge significance in all of this, as I fear something out there wants the power they will unlock. It will soon be time for the greatest warriors in Avalonia to once again don the famous Armour and ride out under the banner of the Dragon. It has been to long, it's time to be legends again and give the people of Historica hope in these worrying times. The Flight of Dragons shall soon hear the call and we shall ride through all land and all of Historica as a symbol of all that is good, just and fair! Our presence shall give the people hope and the evil of this land will tremble. Nothing is going to take over Avalonia on our watch! REX Great work on the new builds everyone, some really great scenes coming through I shall be updating the first post with new titles in the next few days. Keep up the character bios guys, I will begin work on the great hall for the council scene, so I will be using all your sigfigs in the moc!

Well said sir! Have you all forgotten about the crystals? Historica has recovered the four crystals that open the shrine to the most famous and powerful treasure of Historica. Isn't it odd that the Drow are now coming out in force? The finding of the crystals is the most significant thing to happen in centuries and it's a dangerous time as there are many evils that would love to get their hands on them! Something is wrong, I fear there may well be something sinister on the horizon. Bad omens, the dark times are coming and we will all be put to the test soon. Avalonia will be ready, so should you all!

So the Drow grow ever stronger under their new leader, infiltrating other guilds in disguise and playing them against each other! All this going on under our noses and what do the other guilds do? Mock Avalonia for trying to put a stop to all this! We have been saying the Drow are getting strong for ages now, but no one listens! Shame on you people of Historica! Well Avalonia will be ready, we are training new warriors and the Dragon Flight will ride again! Time to awaken the Dragons. The Drow is a mighty foe, we respect that. They are the 'Evil' to our 'Good' and we shall fight them to the end of time if we must. Whenever the Drow make a move, we will always be there to confront them, to hell and back if we must! Yvonnel, maybe one day the time will finally come when we meet on the battlefield, when that day comes only one shall leave alive. Untill that day comes, Avalonia will be there to confront you at every turn and make your 'world conquering' quest a difficult one! Artorious

Don't worry Angeli, I fully understand what your saying. As far as we are concerned, every entry is a worthy winner and they will all be judged as usual. Just because some entries didn't get many votes, that doesn't mean they were bad, all entries were excellent!

Original and beautiful. This really stands out, love the textures and detail! A fantastic build mate, I wanna see some more GOH builds from you

Think what you will of Avalonia, we are just doing what's right and standing up for the people of Historica. We do not want war, we don't want to lose good soldiers but if Nocturnus needs our help we will fight along side the men of Nocturnus. We have an army camped on the Nocturnus borders and we await orders from Nocturnus. If they need us we will be there for them. The same goes for every other Land, we will always be there to help out if you are in danger, that we promise. You all may mock and think we are warmongers but when it comes to the crunch and lands of Historica are threatened, we will be the ones who will be the first there to lay down their lives to defend it! It's true we do enjoy battle, you can't fight a battle half hearted, you need to be focused and my warriors are the best at what we do! So frown on Avalonia all you want, but when you are in trouble, remember its us who will always be there to watch your backs! REX

When we said we would 'crush' the Drow, we didn't think it would be literally!!! Nice to see Nocturnus has things under control. We have marched an army to the Nocturnus border and there we have set up camp. We are here to aid Nocturnus if we are needed. Our presence is a statement to the Drow so they know that we are ready to help Nocturnus if we are needed. We hope the combined army of Avalonia and Nocturnus will be a strong deterant and make the Drow think twice about trying to fight! We don't want a war, but we are ready to assist Nocturnus if it comes to it. A WARNING TO THE DROW: If you are mad enough to try and take on a United Historica who have the power of the Crystals behind them, then only your annihilation will be your reward! REX

Both Mitgardia and Kaliphlin have choose to not get involved with the current skirmish with the Drow. I think they feel we are acting macho and that we should just leave it. That's fair enough, but if no one does anything then the Drow will keep on trying to take over everything. They need to be put back in their place, and if no one else is going to do it then it's down to us. We will help out Nocturnus and destroy the Drow. Avalonia is not afraid to fight and we will not sit back and watch the Drow try and take over Nocturnus. Battle is what we are good at, time to show Historica how things are done! Let's send these Drow back down to the mud pits they crawled out from!

An assassin title will be coming his way! Let's see some battle mocs guys! Take out those boasting Drow!

The current skirmish with the Drow is down to the fact that they have pushed things a little to far. Posting a wanted poster of their own Nocturnus leader and therefore triggering a civil war in the land is not acceptable! Avalonia have also long been insulted by the Drow and we now have a reason to attack them. We want to help Nocturnus and stop their silly rebellion, that is all. We have nothing against Nocturnians, only the Drow, we will not just sit back and watch as our brothers to the east our attacked. So we will help them. We do not wish for Kaliphiln to get involved in this, war is a nasty business and it's best avoided. However, there seems to be no end to the Drow's ambitions and I would not be surprised if they eventually try to take control of other Guilds. So just be prepared! On a different note, GOH will always continue to run. The current story arc will run through to challenge 6, which will be the final challenge and end that particular story. We will then take a break from GOH, leaving lots of time for free builds and for you guys to write your own stories and build your lands. Then we will eventually come back to GOH and run a new story with new challenges, this way we can come back after a long break and things will all be fresh again. If we were to just keep rolling out challenge after challenge people would eventually all get sick and tired of it all. So it's best to finish a main story and then leave it for a while, so when we do come back with a new story everything will feel fresh and new again. Don't forget that you can always keep building free builds and running your own story's.

It seems that the Drow have rebeled against their Nocturnus ruler, an act of treason! This has resulted in a civil war throughout Nocturnus with most members loyal to their true ruler and a few who have sided with the Drow. Because of this new act of madness by the Drow, we have now been granted permission to march our army into Nocturnus and link up alongside the loyal men of Nocturnus in an effort to crush the Drow rebelion! This is a chance for those members here who wish to build any battle scenes. Mocs showing the combined forces of Avalonia and Nocturnus destroying and raiding the Drow, will be most welcome! I call on all Lords of Avalonia to lead your men into Nocturnus and destroy the Drow's forces. It will be good experience for new soldiers and a chance for our more famous warriors to get out and do what they do best! Im sure their will be lots of plunder to bring back to Avalonia! All warriors who go to fight will be handsomly rewarded! For Avalonia! REX

Excellent work, its a pleasant site to see this plague being wiped out! Nice work on recreating the borders.

We are not boasting, just speaking the truth! We were already angered by the Drow and their constant threats and insults. Now they have really over stepped the line and plunged Nocturnus into cival war! Avalonia will support the true ruler of Nocturnus and together with our brothers from Nocturnus we will crush this Drow rebelion!

Excellent! So it seems the Drow have committed treason and have turned against their Nocturnian ruler! Smart move, now Avalonia have an even better reason to come over and wipe the Drow out! Nocturnus won't protect you now, I'm sure the Lord Of Nocturnus will now allow Avalonia's army to cross his lands to get the Drow! War it is! It will be interesting to see if anyone sides with the Drow and brings them Lord Ssilyrrlith. Avalonia will stand and fight alongside the men of Nocturnus and bring the Drow to justice!

Attention all Guildsman! We are now in a state of War. Since the beginning the Drow have always singled Avalonia out, their constant insults and thieving spy's in our land has gone on too long. It's time we did something about it! From this moment on, we at war with the Drow. Nocturnus has made it clear that they do not care for the Drow, however they refuse to let our Army cross their land and if we attack the Drow in their land they will conisder it an attack on Nocturnus. This puts us in a difficult position as we do not want war with Nocturnus. The easiest war would have been to march into Nocturnus and bring the fight to the Drow, but that is now not an option as Nocturnus would attack us. I would welcome it if they tryed attacking Avalonia as then we would get to give them a beating on home soil, but im afriad that the Drow being the cowards they are will now hide away in Nocturnus where they think they can't be touched! We need to draw them out of Nocturnus then we can wipe them out. We might not be able to march an army into Nocturnus but I know we have many capable men from the AAG who can sneak into their encampments and cause them problems. Eventually they will realize that they will have to come out and fight. So I call on members of the AAG to get in there and take out as many Drow as you can!! Maybe that will bring them out from their safe hiding place! Special rewards and titles for those who bring me back the most Drow...dead or alive!

Is that really wise? We have no quarrel with Nocturnus, our problem lies with the Drow. Surely you Nocturnians realize that the Drow are a menace that must be dealt with? You say you will protect them but would they do the same for you? No. They think of only themselves and they have made it clear they want to rule all Historica. It's madness and it's about time someone put them back in the ground! I see no reason why you would want to protect them. We will reward Nocturnus well for letting our army march through your land, we would be doing Nocturnus a favor

Avalonia will never wage war on Nocturnus, but we will wage war on the Drow if things come to it! So it would be nice to know if we may have permission for our army to cross your borders if the need arises. No Nocturnus settlement or people would be harmed, only the Drow. You have our word!

Yes black minifig heads or trans clear ones, anything like that. Like I said, one more insult from them and Avalonia will official wage war on the Drow! I'm sure we would be doing a great service by ridding Historica from their plague!

Guildsmen! The next insult we receive from the Drow will be the final straw! If they choose to carry on insulting us then you all have my permission to dish out some punishment and build some scenes showing our mighty warriors wiping them out! The High King see's them as a plague and it's in our right to defend our honor! One more word from them and it's on!!!!!!
