Book II Challenge III Dwarven Affairs: Mens Quest: Category C: The Dip

[BrickCurve]

A message to the moderators, something went wrong with the title when I pressed post, it was meant to be- Bk II Ch III: Mens Quest: Category C: The Diplomats of Anrarr Could you fix this please?

Hassius Meduseld, a cartographer from Barqa returning from Mitgardia to Durok lighthouse where a meeting of diplomats and advisers to the lord of Anrarr await the detailed maps of the Mitgardian coast.

Meanwhile, the messengers of Anrarr are engaged in a heated conversation with the dwarf lord Andrix.

Messenger- My lord I bring you an invitation to a meeting in Kaliphlin concerning the possibility of a war with the Avalonian Elves.

Lord Andrix- Very well I will attend, I hope the dwarfs of Mitgardia may gain valuable allies through this. Where does the meeting take place?

Messenger- The meeting takes place at Durok Lighthouse near the northern border of Kaliphlin.

Lord Andrix- Very well, now return to Kaliphlin bearing word of acceptance.

Messenger- As you wish my lord. (He departs).

Little does the dwarf lord know that one of Glorfindels spies, a high ranking elf captain had overheard the entire conversation and was made plans to also be at Durok Lighthouse at the time of the meeting.

The dwarf lord Andrix arrives at Durok lighthouse, to his surprise he finds one of Glorfindels captains already at the meeting.

Lord Andrix- Why is one of Glorfindels Servants, an enemy of the dwarves present at this meeting!

Lord Parimere- This meeting was called to discuss the prospects of the dwarves starting a war with the Avalonian Elves, Not to volunteer our services to the dwarves in the war you have made so clear is coming!

Lord Andrix- So what if a war is coming, I refuse to have anything to do with Avalonian elves.

Elf Captain- You have the influence to calm the dwarves and stop this war.

Lord Andrix- So what if I do!

Hassius Meduseld- The elves of Avalonia have detailed maps made by me of all the war preparations made by the dwarf clans.

Lord Andrix- Then the dwarf clans will make new plans.

Lord Parimere- You know as well as we do that the dwarves have made the best possible plans for tunnels, secret tracks, tricks and attacks, and that those plans are in our hands. And all the forces of Anrarr will be with the elves to defend their lands. For the defeat of the dwarves you will be held responsible when you could have easily been known as a peacemaker by the dwarf clans.

Lord Andrix- Very well I consent, your plans have been well made. I will make the dwarf council see reason.

Elf Captain- It is better for both our races my friend.

Lord Andrix- True, it is. I thank you lord Parimere for making me see reason.

(He leaves)

Lord Parimere- Let us hope that the peace will remain long unbroken.

I hope the story is up to scratch, I have had nothing to compare it to since no other category C entries have been posted. On another note I am currently exhibiting the lighthouse at an expo in Williamstown and have had little kids running there hands through the water and "borrowing" 1 x 1 round plates.

Nice builds! Great story too!

Very nice builds and story, BrickCurve!

That lighthouse is top-notch! The walls look great with the mottling of colors and the verted/inverted slopes to give texture. The rockwork around the base looks great as well. Those guards at the top would probably be a bit warm standing so close to a large flame . The minifig posing and piece choice is excellent as well. The interior looks nice. The table might look better if it was tiled with reddish-brown and the letters were placed on top of the tiles.

Brick on, BrickCurve!

Excellent story, gorgeous builds! The lighthouse is indeed top-notch!

Cool anchor design on the ship. The dwarven interior looks very good, I like the floor pattern and raised platform with chest Impressive lighthouse, neat that it has an interior.

The story is pretty good too, though I don't think Glorfindel is considered an enemy of the dwarves, they just don't want him, Steen Larrson, and Elon Chorian to be aware of their plans to attack the elves.

Nice builds and excellent story!

Very cool lighthouse and great idea for a build.

[Hammerhand]

Nice series of builds, you've got some nice details here! I do think that a bit more uniformity with the colors might work a bit better though, but nice job!
