[OL - FB] Recruitment in Eltina

[KotZ]

My dear Emile,

I hope you are well. It has been far too long since I have heard from you. I pray you are safe. Lots of things have been happening since I last heard from you. Oleon is raising forces? I pray you can have leave to visit me soon, although I fear you will not be able to.

Outside one of the taverns we supply, soldiers have set up and begun recruiting. The children seem to love it, the idea of playing soldier. Was this you when you were younger? They are buying people drinks and women to get them to join up, promising them more on the other side of the sea. I hope you are not partaking, although that is the life I married into.

Please come home soon. I've heard from Gilbert and William since you sent them to El Oleonda, and somehow they ended up on the wrong side of the war! Can you imagine that? I'm sure you can, love, those two always seem to get themselves into trouble.

Please stay safe, and come home soon.

All my love,
Elise

After seeing merc's build of Eltina's walls, I figured I had to continue with them for continuity. Thanks for an easy addition, merc! For raising troops, I am raising a platoon of 10 men.

Nice vig! I particularly like the third pic, of the soldier behind the recruiting table. The double feather makes a great quill.

FYI, for recruitment builds, please clearly state what size of unit (i.e., how many soldiers) are being recruited for EGS purposes.

Nice minifigs posing, the recruiting centre is unarguably the center of the show.

Aye, nice little build with great posing. The scene feels pretty alive for its small size, well done!

I must say though: Oleon amassing ships in some ports, now recruiting troops? If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck... it's Oleon going to war!

Thanks! I love using the double feather or the flame/feather for quills. Thy work great. And fixed in the main post the recruitment listings.

Excuse me, this is a peaceful force.

It does appear so...

Lively vignette all the same!

I like it! Like others have said the posing and faces work really well with the scene. I didn’t expect the wall to catch on. It was something I saw once and thought it would work really well. Glad you like it!
