Sir Berelan Gryffen has journeyed into the northern reaches of Mitgardia in the search for the mystical Valkyrie Springs. Legend had it that among the springs there stood a small mountain, atop which was a single vial of pure water. It was believed that this water was enchanted and could heal any wound. It was essential for Berelan to retrieve this vial, for otherwise Dugal MacLean could not be resurrected. So he set off. At last, he arrived at Valkyrie Springs, and sure enough, beheld the vial of enchanted water, nestled in a carved rock at the summit of the small mountain. Wearing a thick fur hat because of the cold and carrying a pickaxe for climbing, Berelan got ready to begin his ascent. But lurking in the mountain caves were some of his deadliest enemies, members of the Order of the Dragon, a band of Nocturnian knights led by none other than his own brother, Xaris. The two knights had been sent by their lord to destroy the vial and prevent Berelan from retrieving it. Will they succeed, or will Berelan defeat them? Only time will tell. -
My Collecting the Pieces build: Mikkel Winter-Stone was sent by Masa of Kaliphlin to retrieve a rare alchemy ingredient to aid in the resurrection of Dugal Maclean. In search of samples of Blue-Winged Stinger wings, his journey sent him to the great pine forests of southern Mitgardia. Retrieving the wings is tricky as Stinger venom can easily kill a man and Stingers are very territorial creatures. The crossbow came in handy, but after bringing down the Blue-WInged Stinger he needed, the only defense from the rest of the colony is speed... I built this mainly because I wanted to try out a big fir-like pine tree. I think it came out ok, though I'm not all that happy with how the top looks. But I ran out of both time and small leaf pieces. Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrcp6d/sets/72157635735712074/with/9860952985/ -
Red scorpions are a rare and very poisonous animal, but their venom is also a very potent alchemical ingredient. They are sometimes found in or around old temples, like this ruin which still contains an altar to one of the deities of old Kaligem. Sir Gideon has found one to kill and obtain its venom for the quest Masa of Kaliphlin sent him on, in order to collect the pieces for the potion "Kiss of Life". Threading lightly with his half-elven feet to avoid the scorpions feeling his steps and with the sun at his back he is very glad that the scorpions' hearing isn't very good, since it is hard to be silent wearing full battle armor even with elvish heritage. Better that than being stung though. I have had this build on a shelf for quite a while, and only now got around to photo it. I have a new backdrop (roller curtain from Ikea), do you think it looks ok as it is or is the fabric a bit too rough? If it works out OK i think I'll buy a narrower one as well, since this is 1.6 m and a bit hard to handle and the full width is not needed very often... This will be my last GoH build for a while, stuck with LUG stuff and a promise to the family to take some brick downtime after that. Hopefully back to GoH building by the time the challenges start!

Deep in the Enchanted Forest of Avalonia, there lays a skeleton of a long-forgotten creature. Tigers used to roam Avalonia in old times, but they were hunted to extinction for their fur pelts. A few skeletons remain, but most have lost to the ground from whence they came. Now, it is only the elves that can find such a relic and that is why I have searched the woods for this skeleton. The fang can be ground up to a powder which, when dissolved in water, will have magical powers needed to make the Kiss of Life potion. The stump was one of my favorite aspects of this build. C&C welcome! Thanks for viewing.
