Posted November 30, 20159 yr An entry into the Forbidden Fortress category of the Colossal Castle Contest. A collab between John (LittleJohn) and I: John built the landscape, while I built the fortress. The build is based off of the story of Beren and Luthien from the Silmarillion. There's a full interior inside, and the drawbridge is functional. Sauron's werewolf form, and Huan were both inspired by Dunedain and Blake Baer. Luthien and Huan, the Hound of Valinar, rescue Beren from Sauron's fortress of Tol-in-Gaurhoth. Sauron takes the form of a werewolf to battle Huan. "Therefore he (Sauron) took upon himself the form of a werewolf, and made himself the mightiest that had yet walked the world; and he came forth to win the passage of the bridge... But no wizardry nor spell, neither fang nor venom, nor devil's art nor beast-strength, could overthrow Huan of Valinor; and he took his foe by the throat and pinned him down" (Tolkien 175). Gates and drawbridge closed: There's a lot to see, so check out additional pictures here: http://www.brickbuilt.org/?p=1687 C&C welcome Edited January 12, 20169 yr by soccerkid6
November 30, 20159 yr Didn't think I'd like that colorscheme when you told me about it originally, but I really love it. Great landscape, too!
December 1, 20159 yr I just love when we see a Tolkien scene not from LOTR or Hobbit, and you do not disappoint. Lovely work!

Thank you, and yeah, seeing Tolkien stuff outside LOTR and The Hobbit is nice
December 2, 20159 yr The landscape with the swamp create an eerie atmosphere, the bridge fits perfectly and makes the scene look a bit evil. Well done!
