Jorrith

Very nice! I like the small figs behind the minifig statue... Gives a bit of an asian temple feel to it.

Great idea and nicely done too! 1x1 wedges are perfect for this!

An unexpected invitation (The story of Lord Mortis - Part 3) | Jorrith | Nocturnus

Thank you all for those wonderfull comments! For the towers i made a proof of concept first, and if you make the towers 8 by 8 studs, and connect the hinges 3 studs from the outter corners, your connecting walls will be exactly 7 studs wide. (not sure if it is a legal connection, but the plates on top snapped on without any tention) The curved arches underneath the bridge were kind of a headache.. When i was nearing completion, i ran short of 1x1 round bricks. So i scavenged my grand emporium for them, only to run out again... The last ones i needed i regretfully took off my haunted house, i built that last year when i came out of my dark ages, and never took a single piece off it... Untill freefought bridge that is. Oh well, i'll place those bricks back the coming week.. The signpost sparked an idea.... In earlier times, alot of people were unable to read... Why could this not also be the case in historica? So signs with each guild colors seemed an obvious solution. I really like how the signpost turned out, feel free to incorporate that into other mocs!

Wow, that's a very original wagon! I love the sheer size of it. Also the scene is very nice, lots of details, nice story too! Excellent!

I agree on the dark tan/bley combo, that works really nice indeed! The moc itself is also great, really like that gate.

Nice little build, the curved amphitheatre looks great, and i love the diversity of the minifigs,

Don't know if this the way they did it in the past, but it's detailed and believeable.... Nice moc!

You did awesome! Nice MOC, posing is great, for a moc this scale you could not ask for more.

Sorry that i haven't commented earlier on this build, but it's really awesome! Love the storyline too!

Sorry for my late reply, but this is a nice warlord build! Definatly want to see where you will go at stage 3, i also have to build that one, so i'm curious.

Small build, but large in awesomeness!

Maybe late, but pretty damn awesome!

Looks great! The roof is actually a good technique!

I love how you did the backgrounds, it works very well! Also the story is great combining all these mocs together!!

Low piece count, but i do like the cape... I don't know if the ragged look is intentional, but it works great!

Please bear the not_so_awesome photography, (F greenpeace) i still need to get a better digicam, and lighting conditions were not that ideal. (well atleast i bought some large sheets of paper instead of the styrofoam plates i used before!) Prologue In part two Lord Mortis met an old friend at a situation that would have gone very different if Raghas was not his long time friend. Now, Raghas his son Carg, is escorting Lord Mortis to Harbringer's Haven.... The next scene will take place at: This old bridge has spanned the guturk river for centuries. Though upkeep left much to be desired, it still stands strong as a passageway into nocturnus. In earlier days this used to be a toll bridge, and travelers would have to pay each time they cross this bridge. But due to the fact that toll had to be payed each time one would want to cross, and this was brutely enforced, it eventually caused an uprising among the nocturnian people. The toll collectors were chained by their feet, and hung to the bridge to starve. These days there is no toll collected anymore, but the name stuck, and the bridge is still used as a place of execution. The hanging of thieves by their feet is tradition, just as those toll collectors in the past stole from the common folk. It also serves as a warning to visitors of nocturnus that have less than noble intentions. The cage is put in place on top of the tower for murderers and rapists. They usually take longer to die this way, so it is in line with the severety of the crime. The unrest in Nocturnus has caused many to flee, including this poor orc family. Their older son forcefully recruited by the black spire, their house burned because the father protested, the remaining family is fleeing with what they can carry to a better place.... But to where will they go? Mitgardia? Kaliphlin? Definatly not back to Nocturnus, that's for sure... After a while, two familiar faces show up... Carg: So, my dad used to serve you? Lucius: Yeah, your old man was a great asset to the army then, but when he wanted to settle down a bit i could not do otherwise than give him his freedom back. Carg: I have heard many stories about you from my father, it seems lord Mortis the cruel has a heart when it comes to his servants... Lucius: Do not mistake rewarding good work as weakness, young man. I am cruel to some, but i also know quality when i see it. Your dad definatly has that quality. Carg: We're at the bridge. Lucius: Well, it has been a while, but the last time i saw this bridge it looked better.. Carg: Well some things age, my lord. Suddenly two shadowmere zombie riders apear.... Carg: Who are these guys? Lucus: They are messengers from shadowmere, let me talk to them. Lord Mortis rides towards the messengers... Messenger: Are you Lord Mortis the cruel, regent of Gza'ar, child of the night? Lucius: That i might be. Messenger: We send word from Lord Vladivus Stormbringer, Captain of the shadowmere guard, and the moruth rangers. He would like an audience with you. Lucius: This is quite unusual, since i allready have an intent to visit your master. Messenger: Our master sent us in advance because there are new developments that need adressing in a timely fasion. Lucius: So that means i will have to join you two to travel to shadowmere? Messenger: You assume right. Lord Mortus turnes to Carg... Lucius: It seems that these guys will escort me further on the way to shadowmere... Carg, why don't you turn back and look after your old man and brother? Carg: Very well my lord. But there is one thing that needs adressing... Carg: I cannot let a lord meet another lord in a ragged cloak like that, please Lord Mortis, accept my cloak as an replacement! Lucius: You are indeed the son of Raghas Memnon! Or paths will meet again for sure, because you have the same quality as your father. Carg: I am just doing what is right, just as my father tought me. Lucius: And that, you should be thankfull for, your father raised you right, i will send out for you when the time comes... Carg: Thank you my lord, i am honored. And so, the fellowship that was created between mummy and vampire was temporarily disbanded. On to shadowmere it is. To be continued..... Bonus shot: All the work i put into the curved bridge ceilings never showed in the other pics, so i had to make this pic! Next build i'll try to go a little smaller... this was quite a pita to get pics for the storyline! C&C welcome, enjoy the story!

Got my pictures done, will start sorting/editting in a moment, and i'll hope it will be up tonight. Definatly need to quit building so big, my MOC was a real pita to take pictures for the storyline.

Working on it!! I'll have something up in the next 24 hours that has orcs.

One thing i learned from online gaming with english and irish gamers: A hole is a goal.

I don't know about you, but we nocturnians prefer our holes to be atleast damp....

Hippies! Nice building! Not much of a fan of the pastel colors, but looking beyond that it has some really nice techniques incorporated in this build!

Keep the smack talk coming!!! *grabs popcorn* And welcome Itaria!

2B.. Sorry, i am a nocturnian. Awesome idea though, to let the community decide how the story goes!

Excellent intro! Welcome to nocturnus!
