Long, long ago, before Kaligem, the one time capitol of Kaliphlin, was destroyed, a wise and wealthy group of dwarfs, foreseeing the devastation that was to come upon their city, created a chalice of pure gold, that would hold the red ruby, the legendary crystal that led the founders of the city of Kaligem to the location it then had. They built a temple for it, hidden deep in the great escarpment, where the crystal would not be found before the time was ripe, when the wisest man, apart from the leader of Kaliphlin, would find it and, with it, would re-establish Kaligem as a powerful city once more. And to protect this man from his enemies, they created a helmet of protection, that would, it is said, keep him from any harm. Gradually the temple around the ruby decayed, but the inside remained ever new, as beautiful as the day it was built. The time is now ripe, and the people of Nadur, whose city had been destroyed, have come to search for the temple. Finally, they have found it, they are setting up there camp and will soon be scaling the precipice. But they must have caution - who knows what powers lie within? Here lies the remains of the temple, still fairly well preserved, that houses the key to the peace of Kaliphlin. (This may pop at you sort of out of the blue, or white, but it's right above the helment.) And here is the helment of protection, said to fit only the man destined to wear it. But be careful! Should the approching man be the wrong one, the trapdoor will open under his feet, shutting again on top of him and keeping him trapped! If he's the right one, the trap door will wait unitl he gets off it. . . . . . to reveal the red chamber within! (Sorry, I couldn't resist the red. I just have so much of that color! Now let's step back (and up). . . and take a view of the camp! A small fish makes a big splash as he jumps into the river. . . . . . while the leaders prepare to confront whatever lies within! My dear little kity cat wouldn't come down from the roof. . . Inside the little shed are several barrels and other belongings. Cutting wood for the next lean-to that is being built. (I'll give Legonardo credit for this, but I honestly wasn't thinking about your's when I built it!) Nothing's better than a day's work under the sun! Someone else thinks there's nothng better than a day's sleep under the sun. . . A few more! pictures at my Flickr. I know that was an awful lot, but there's no limit (within reason) and I really didn't see how I could cut out any of those. . . Feedback is appreciated as always! Hope you enjoyed it!
