I really like the construction of the wooden platform supported by rock detailing behind. The character posing is also really dynamic, there are some really nice touches,

This is a great little build with nice details and proportions.

Thank you Windusky, happy to be aboard! And 'Welcome' Longworth...

I really like this build, the story is great. For your first MOC this is very impressive, well done. I can't wait to see more.... There are some really nice details in this build...

That's a very impressive great Dwalin! Really majestic... I can't wait to see the next gate. Well done!

This is a beautiful build... I love everything about it. Great job!

Hello... It seems only fit to introduce myself to a kind stranger, if you have the time to listen that is? My name is 'Arna – Arna of Winter Mountain'. My tale is a simple one... “Run Arna!!! Run...!!!” These were the last spoken words I heard from my true farther 'Orri'. And run I did... As far and as fast as my little legs would carry me, I never once looked back as I plunged deeper and deeper into the thick mountain forest. With my fathers words echoing in my ears, his spirit fuelling my soul to keep going. Only when darkness painted out the winter sun and my legs could no longer carry me did I stop. I was alone.... For days I wondered aimlessly within the deep sloping forest, dense Evergreen's and Solider Pines stretched high into the canopy. A maze of broken sky towering above me, taunting me as I scratched sustenance from natures gifts just as my father had taught me. During the nights I took shelter in fallen trees, sharing my dreams with the insects and grubs that freely mapped my freezing frame. As hopelessness rang like an eternal bell in my breaking soul, 'Joy and Relief' silenced its deafening tone - as my heart lifted and warmed like a spring flower turning towards to the morning sun. I was saved! As I buckled and stumbled into the clearing like a new born lamb a woman ran to grab me... Concern etched over her gentle face. “Solvi!... Come quickly the Winter Mountain has passed us a gift.” Solvi and Maria nurtured me back to health with care and eternal love – My father never returned to our home village and no eyes ever set upon his mighty frame again. It was agreed by those that decide such things that Solvi and Maria should take me under their compassionate wing. Solvi and Maria taught me well... As a farmer and woodsman Solvi brought me up to be finely skilled in both disciplines. Maria taught me to use my mind and acknowledge my heart, the written word is no stranger to me. Alas their spirits now join my fathers deep within in my beating heart... As the mountains winds call every soul to finally fall from the tree of life and return to the frozen earth. “Some times we drop as leaves, sometimes we drop as seeds. Both are equally as important in the external orbit of existence Arna...” Maria would say to me. As a man of four and fifty, my weathered bones and grumbling back tell me it's time to leave the mountain for new, warmer lands. Life is tough in the Northern Hemisphere the winters are long and the days dark. The northern soil is thin and loose and every seed needs absolute love and care if it to reach it's true potential. Work that now requires younger hearts than mine... I've come to Avalonia to farm its fertile land and watch my harvest blossom with the pride that only a farmer knows. I hope to see you again my friend, thank you for taking the time to listen to me. Maybe one day we'll share a bottle of honey mead over a game of 'Tiles'? Farewell and look after yourselves...

Wow! What a great build... The texturing, landscape and fine details are absolutely brilliant. The character's look amazing too. Inspiring stuff - really great work.
