After the completion of his first design assignment (Queenston Primary School), Peter Nash (architect) was overwhelmed with congratulations and positive messages. "What a warm welcome to the New World!", he thought. At the opening party he got into a conversation with the mayor of Wullham, @evancelt. Mayor Major Sir Jonathan Brickleton invited him to come to Wullham. So he did... A few days later, Peter left for Wullham with an old friend, Doug MacIver ("He is a little bit weird, he is wearing a skirt..."] After arriving on the island, Peter was surprised by the landscape. It looked completely different here than in Queenston. The landscape was barren and rougher; it was hilly and there were many sheep. Above all, the temperature was a lot lower and the wind was blowing very hard. It reminded them of where Doug came from. A while later, while taking a walk on the island with Doug, Doug had a great idea. "This island is a great location to start a whiskey distillery!" he said. "Rum is sewage for pirates, people of our stature drink whisky!" Peter agreed and a few days later he started making the first sketches. He designed a main building (distillery) and a first storagehouse. The mayor checked the drawings carefully and approved the construction of the distillery. So construction could begin!

[COR-FB] Supply Dock at Fort Stockton, Wullham
evancelt posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
A dock at Fort Stockton allows the garrison to quickly receive supplies for the fort. ----------------- OOC: To be licensed by Corrington as a large commerce in Wullham @Ayrlego This build got started around the idea that those light / dark bley projectile shooters looked like wet and dry rock in a single brick. Once the middle rocks were built I then added the basalt columns. -
With the recent success of recruiting drives on the island, the Corrington high command has commissioned a military academy at Fort Stockton near Wullham. Candidates for admission must apply directly to the academy and receive a nomination, usually from a member of standing within the colonial armed forces. Lieutenant Bollford rides a horse along the beach as a training officer leads a contingent of cadets back to the academy barracks after a day spent running drills. ------------------------ OOC: To be licensed as a large educational building in Wullham.

A crate had arrived earlier in the day from Captain Brickleton. It contained a strange alcoholic drink Brickleton had called 'absinthe' in his accompanying letter. The drink was apparently taking off in Westface on the island of Terraversa. Elsabeth Stockton decided to invite the women of Wullham to sample the new beverage together. Under the guise of a knitting circle, they gathered in the lobby of the inn where Stockton was staying. Stockton gossiped with Mary Chattan about Captain Brickleton and rumors of a war with the Lotii. Victoria Bettenworth and Georgina Fellenstep agreed the drink tasted of licorice. Harriet Pilloughsby was not a fan. They all had strange dreams that night. --------------------------- OOC: I received a whole bunch of those bright green Harry Potter mugs during a LUG draft and wanted to use them in a build! Also wanted to try out using the treasure chest lid as a window sill.

[COR - ChIV - Micro Prize] Sheep Farm, Wullham
evancelt posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Forest Bineford loved the location he had chosen for his sheep farm. The rolling hills provided ample grazing land for his flock of sheep, and the hillside behind his home allowed him to sit under a small grove of trees to watch his sheep among the pastures. Now with winter closing in, the leaves on the small stand of trees had fallen and he looked forward to seeing folks about town sport clothing made from his wool! ---------------- Here's my micro medium property earned as a prize during Challenge IV: Rebuilding Terraversa (bonus upgrade).

Shepard Willoughsby watches as a company of 26th foot march through his flock. With the Lotii on the rampage in the New Haven Sea, Willoughsby takes comfort in the fact that patrols from Fort Stockton seem to have increased in frequency. ------------ OOC: Wanted to try out using ziplines on a tree.

The brothers Gregor and Duncan MacAulen had lived alongside sheep for most of their lives. They were new to Wullham and had quickly noticed upon their arrival that there was a niche that needed filling. Wullham had a ton of sheep, but very few people who knew how to shear wool! They first thought of monopolizing the shearing trade, but the huge number of sheep on the island frankly scared them a little. Instead, they decided to open a sheep shearing school. In their inaugural class, the brothers welcomed five locals - including a woman! They weren't picky when it came to students who could pay their class fees. Local herders would bring their sheep to a holding pen and the MacAulens' dogs would make sure they stayed in line. Once a fleece was removed from a sheep, they would pile it on a cart to take to town. Corporal Thiessen of the 26th Foot skirted the outside of the school on his way to Fort Stockton. He had received orders to report to the fort - there were rumors of action with the Lotii in the New Haven Sea! -------------------- OOC: To be licensed as a large educational build for Wullham. This one was just a fun chance to try out some techniques I'd been wondering about (the thatch roof, treasure chest tree, wigs for fleece, etc). You may recognize the boat prow building from this unlicensed build. I like the plumes better than the backpacks for the roof

A while ago we were introduced to Jim Corbett. The hunter from the A-MRCA The Adventures of Edmund Cooke storyline. Jim is from Wullham. We see him here in his natural habitat, his hunter's cabin in one of the few woods in Wullham. Baron Peter Nash had met him at 'The Drunken Fish' tavern in Arlinsport. And they agreed to meet later in Wullham. Jim's cabin was simple and consisted mainly of woodwork, the cabin was equipped with a stone plinth and a comfortable porch with rocking chair where Jim contemplated new adventures. Jim had his own hunting tower where he spent hours searching the lavender fields for wild. --- Build will be licensed in Wullham by Bricksbypidy.

Baron Peter Nash thoroughly enjoyed the Highland Games. Afterwards there was a need for a refreshing drink. His friend Padre Azúcar, known from the sugar cane industry, had further expanded his empire with various drinking establishments. His recently opened the "Tipsy Mermaid Pub". It seemed like a great option for drinks in Wullham. Padre Azúcar looked from his private room on the first floor at the visitors below. It was an excellent move to organize a special party in Wullham; it was now popularly called 'Oktoberfest'. There was solidarity between Corrington's various land and sea forces. They all enjoyed a refreshing beer or warming whiskey. On this special occasion, money would fly! *Ka-ching* --- Build will be licensed in Wullham by @Bricksbypidy.

Part of the Armed Forces of Corrington is the Highland Regiment of Foot. Every summer these Highlanders come to Wullham for the traditional games: The Highland Games. This event is held every year. Certain aspects of the games are so well known as to have become emblematic for the Highlanders, such as the bagpipes, the kilt, and the heavy events, especially the 'Caber Toss' and 'Weight over Bar'. While centered on competitions in piping and drumming, dancing, and heavy athletics, the games also include entertainment and exhibits related to other aspects of the Corrington Highlander cultures. During the Highland games, various groups of Highlanders compete against each other in various 'heavy events'. Some examples of 'events' are: 'Stone Put', 'Keg-tossing (Weight over Bar)', 'Caber Toss' and 'Tug of War'. This event, the so-called Black Watch, MacDonald and Wemyss will compete against each other. Every year there is a guest jury of 7 people. This consists of people who have been of great importance to Corrington in the previous year. This year this honor has been awarded to (from left to right): Jim Corbett, Padre Azúcar, Willem van Baarle, Baron Peter Nash, Alexandre Bras-de-Fer, Edmund Cooke and Bernard Claesen Speirdyke. --- Build will be licensed in Wullham by @Bricksbypidy.

With this Forest Lodge, Wullham is approaching the settlement level of a city! Wullham only needs a Royal Factory to become a 'City'! This Forest Lodge is located in one of the few forests on the island. A small family lives in this lodge: a man, his woman and their son. The man and his dog are on their way with their sheeps to the grass meadows that are abundant on the island. The son is fishing on the jetty; the woman is standing just outside and greets a passer-by. All in all a peaceful scene at Wullham. --- Build will be licensed in Wullham by @Bricksbypidy.

Elsabeth Stockton was bored. She had been in Wullham for a season and while taking entrepreneurial steps to financially back a Mushroom grow house had kept her busy for a time, she missed socializing with other gentlewomen the way she had while back in Belson. In an effort to stoke the fires of society in Wullham, she had her servant deliver copies of a note to all of the esteemed houses in town. In her note, Elsabeth invited the young women of the area to join her for an adventure to the coast. She next visited Reginald Brewerfrump at the Museum of Antiquities, where he had recently been made curator. She discussed her plans for an outing and he suggested a picturesque headland to the south where they could observe a great many sea birds in their element. He volunteered to lead the party the following week. When the time came for the outing, she was pleased to greet six other women of the town for the short field expedition. They hiked up their dressbottoms and headed for the coast!

Reginald Brewerfrump had always been interested in old things. As a child in Belson, he had sought out all of the oldest places in Corrington and when he visited them he had taken notes in a pocket-sized notebook. Now as an adult, he was about to get to catalog new discoveries made in the Brick Seas! Brewerfrump was the new curator of the Royal Society of Natural Philosophy Museum of Antiquities in Wullham. Among the first exhibits on display was a collection of large mysterious bones found by the 26th Foot while stationed in Elizabethville. ----------------- OOC: Submitted as a Corlander entry in the Faction Flavours Mini Challenge. I wanted to make this build to continue the story of the mysterious bones! I found a way to fit in 6 colors of telescopes, but didn't find a natural way to fit in my black or yellow ones. Also thought it would be fun to feature all custom redcoats and only show their backs Licensed as a small educational building in Wullham

No sooner had the group of new recruits at Fort Stockton received their gray trainee uniforms than their drill sergeant received word that a field gun had broken its limber. The gun was being transported along the coast and had fallen into some mud when its carriage broke. The recruits headed out to begin what turned out to be five hours of hard work necessary to free the gun. A troop raising build for Wullham

With the whole island to themselves, the new settlers on Panarium could choose the location they wanted to call home. Artemis Granger found a small sheltered hamlet just to the southeast of Wullham that looked good to him. He could see out off the headlands to the New Haven Sea, and if he climbed up the steep hill behind his house, he could see a mysterious interior mountain off in the distance. A rainstorm was headed his way, so he took shelter in his whitewashed cottage. Microbuild prize for 3rd Place Faction in The Battle for El Oleonda - Era II, Challenge III To be licensed as a small residence in Wullham OOC: My first microbuild! Since Wullham is still new, wanted to try to capture some of the landscape here for others to reference: grass coming down to sand at beach, hills and highlands, and some interior mountains!

Captain Brickleton wanted to know more about the island of Panarium. In the week following their arrival at the future site of Wullham, he sent expeditions out by land and sea to survey the island. Second Lieutenant Berthing of the 18th Hussars set out with another trooper and an Onondaga settler who had accompanied them from Elizabethville. They rode across the island many times identifying key features Most of the island was covered in grassy hills. They noted a total of ten mountains on the island and highlands on the northern half of the island. A medium-sized river flowed from the mountains of the southwest on to the sea. They spotted a few smaller islands offshore. Lieutenant Freeman, a Royal Navy Intelligence officer, circumnavigated the island by rowboat. Accompanied by a soldier of the 26th Foot, they spent a week camping on beaches and sounding the depths to establish the extent of the shallows. They made depth soundings around the island and took a detailed account of all of the inlets and shore curvature. They also were able to make out ten distinct mountains as they made their way around the island by sea. Once back at camp in Wullham, Lieutenant Freeman erected a table on a hill overlooking the sea. He had become close friends with his travel companion from the 26th Foot while conducting the survey. His friend and a second soldier played melancholy background music while Freeman combined the interior details the Hussars had gathered with his more detailed sea records.

On the second day after their arrival on Panarium, a lightning storm hit and the settlers had to seek shelter. With no buildings erected yet, they were quite exposed in their camp. After seeking shelter next to a nearby rock outcrop, two pioneers began to wonder about what riches lay embedded in those rocks. As the storm broke, the two returned with pickaxes and began breaking off chunks of rock. Prospecting build in Wullham. OOC: What do we have in these rocks?

After a quite painless voyage from Elizabethville, Captain Jonathan Brickleton arrives on the newly named island Panarium (Island 4 in the New Haven Sea) to establish a new settlement for the Crown of Corrington. Claimed by Corrington, Panarium is the most northerly of the New Haven Sea islands at this longitude. The island is exposed to harsh northerly winds that have left most of the island devoid of trees. Instead, the hilly landscape is dominated by lush grassland and low shrubs. The winds bring plenty of rain but also lower the temperature significantly compared to the more tropical climate of neighboring islands. Rocky outcrops dot the grassy hillsides and add pops of color with bright lichen growth. A unique lavender-colored mineral appears in the lighter grey rocks found nearby. Along with his mixed company of 26th Foot and 18th Hussars, Brickleton is joined by a few dozen adventurous pioneers from Elizabethville who will help found the new settlement, which he names Wullham. Upon first inspection, the small sheltered valleys that surround the coastal location he has chosen for the new settlement appear to be quite fertile and will likely be ideal for grain crops. The few sheep they have brought with them appear to enjoy the terrain and Brickleton expects them to thrive. Rather than use the few trees on the island for firewood, Brickleton sends a small group out to cut some peat for their fires. They then begin setting up a makeshift camp at what will become the settlement of Wullham.

The new fence lining the edges of the wheat fields created a bottleneck when two parties caught up to each other on the path.

After Captain Brickleton's horse lost a shoe, Lieutenant Tennyson gave him a ride home. Brickleton was glad to see that his attendant had the fires going inside - there was a chill in the air. Brickleton had chosen the spot for his home during an early scouting survey. When he saw the magnificent oak next to a small stream, he knew he would build his house next to it. With so few trees on the island of Panarium, a mature oak was to be treasured. Licensed as a medium residence in Wullham

Benedict Thorpe had thought it might be hard to start a produce farm in Wullham, but the rich soils on the island of Panarium meant everything he planted thrived with only basic tending. He had planted extra carrots, onions, melons, squash, and wheat thinking not all of it would make it, but the vegetables seemingly doubled in number during the growing season. The result was he had more produce than he knew what to do with! As Thorpe stood pondering his good fortune, Corporal Newbury returned his dairy cow Elise who had wandered off down the track. Without many trees to be found on the island, the farmer used driftwood to build his garden fences. After Elise the cow was re-secured in her barn, the croaking of the frogs at the nearby pond helped Thorpe doze off into a nice nap. Licensed by Wullham as a medium vegetable plantation OoC: Wanted to try a SNOT base with darker soil colors, went with reddish-brown and dark orange, which are darker than what we commonly see in pirate builds. Also wanted to begin to establish a whitewashed architectural style for Wullham that incorporates little bits of the lavender color. I'm imagining fancier buildings will have slate roofs and more ornamental features.

Captain Brickleton and Lieutenant Tennyson enjoy some fresh melon that Trooper Rolston has halved during his solo sabre drill. Captain Brickleton instructs the hussars to drill regularly to stay in tip-top fighting shape, never knowing just when they will be called upon to ship out in the fight against Oleon. OOC: I wanted to try out a new kind of SNOT base. It isn't as sturdy as the one I usually use, but is nice for change of pace.

It appeared some time during the night. Horatio Jefferson, a root vegetable farmer, spotted it when he stepped out the front door of his house the next morning. He couldn't believe he had slept through the sound of steel on rock, but he must have. He couldn't prove it, but he knew the heart-shaped carving in the rock outcrop was for his daughter Bethel. The peat-cutter Cashel Macklin had made it quite evident that he had his eye on her. As Jefferson explained all this to the gathered townspeople, Bethel began to blush. She thought it was beautiful.
