The Gloomy Isles- Avalonia Task 1, 2 and 3

Pyf · September 21, 2014

Price Pyfrael is the heir apparent to the Rising Sun Clan. The Clan under his father’s leadership rules over the Gloomy Isles. They are a group of small islands surrounding the clan’s main island, the Green Summer Island.

It is interesting to note that it is fairly difficult the main island, as it's belt of small islands is also home to many dangerous animals and there are only few save approaches for boats. The islands are covered in dense forests and steep cliffs can be found along their shores. The many small islands surrounding the Green Summer Island are covered with small villages, which make their livelihood out of fishing and the collecting and growing of seaweeds, the main food resource of the gloomy islands.

The main population of the islands once consisted of Elves. However, they have welcomed anyone looking for a save home. Today there live many men, dwarfs and others on the island. They are considered as much part of the Rising Sun Clan as the elves and abide to the rule of the clans royal family.

Nice, love the buildings, however most of the characters are LOTR or hobbit ones. You could swap around the bodies to vary it a little, it's up to you though.

Hi thanks for your comment. Concerning the figures and future buildings, the problem is that the absolute majority of my lego is in a different country from where I am. Hence, I am very limited in what I can do atm. And even then, most of my lego is a bit older and I haven't got that much to build with.
