In the Noble's Hall

[Kai NRG]

Part One

Part Two

"He's coming to!" exclaimed a cheerful voice at the young lad's side.

"That's good to hear. What is your name, young sir?" Something it the youth's manner made the servant instictively say sir.

"Call me... call me Kalaflar."

"Call you Kalaflar? Aren't you Kalaflar?"

"It was my Uncle's name before me," Kalaflar explained.

The servant started slightly, as though the mention his uncle surprised him. "Then my master will be doubly glad to see you. Come though, first you must eat and bathe."

Several minutes later, Kalaflar, now in the dress of a young page, was ushered into the noble's presence. He made a low reverence, and then, straightening himself, looked curiously about the room.

It was warm and well furnished, with several tinted windows that let the light in. On one side of the room, directly in front of him, lay the old noble, while at the foot of his couch stood a young knight, whom Kalaflar correctly supposed was his son. The noble looked at him kindly, and endeavored to rise slightly, while the servant lady at one end hastened to slide a pillow under his head.

"I have been told your Uncle was Kalaphlar, the general sent by Dextrus Flagg for the selection of a city?"

"He was, sir."

"Then I have some information you may want to know. The news of the cowardly attack on your encampment has outraged every loyal Kaliphlin, and they have pushed the robbers back so far as to break the power of all the disloyal knights... except one, the most powerful..." he trailed off for a second, and his eyes wandered down the edge of his garment. For some reason, Kalaflar felt a cold shiver run through him. "But things are looking up," the noble continued more cheerfully. "Dextrus has determined to build the city on the spot you found, in honor of your sacrifice. Your Uncle will be buried with royal honors - his body was retrieved from the attackers. Indeed though, we had thought that none had escaped. How was it you survived?"

And Kalaflar related the circumstances immediately surrounding the attack in great detail, during which all present listened attentively, for it was the only firsthand account available. When he had finished, the noble presented him to his son, a young man named Gascoyne. "I am sure we will be good friends," Gascoyne said frankly.

The old man nodded. "Why don't you take him out now? Show him around the palace and get him settled."

So Kalaflar found a new home... but for how long would it last?

Nice vignette, I like the decorated base, I never tried that so far.

That pillow looks great but how do you keep it together in one piece?

Thanks! Decorated bases are fun!

The pillow actually has a crack in it... or really, two cracks which aren't so noticeable in the picture. I used two Technic half pins, one in the bottom of each curved white piece and in the top of the other.

Nice build, I really like the amount of detail you have put in it. Especially the wall is great :)

But what is the purpose of those plates with clips downward on the walls? Good detail, but it puzzles me a bit

Cool interior!!!

The floor is really top-notch! And so many nice details! (like the bucket with brown hands)

Also very nice third part of the story!! :thumbup:

Great vignette, The windows and floor are excellent and I like that you put some torches in it Clever way to add the Kaliphlin colors

The couch is also excellent, The tan half arches give a neat effect as well. Everything fits nicely

[Kai NRG]

Thanks DM and SK! I thought the floor was more or less steriotypical, but I'm glad you guys found it interesting!

Thanks! The plates with downward clips is just for decorational purposes... it enlivens the wall a bit and means I can use my 1x2s with holes which saves me a few bricks! I've used them quite a bit, though I do think this is the lowest on the wall I've put them.

I love the decoration on top of the wall.

Haha, I also sometimes like to save my precious 1x1 bley plates whenever I can by using ones with clip ;)

But in a few weeks I will at last be getting a lot more of those in the LUGbulk, will be great around mottling elements in bley walls - if I venture out of Kaliphlin...

interesting build, quite fascinating how you keep on shelling out those mocs. Good stuff!

Yeah, I only have two... Got to save them whenever I can!

[Pyrovisionary]

Epic!

Epic!

Thanks!

Nice MOC! And nice technique for the pillow!

[robuko]

This is a really nice series of vigs. Your rook treatment is especially cool, the detailing on all of your recent builds is very impressive. It's somehow Lego-scale, that scale where buildings are too small for the minifigs who inhabit them but it somehow works out beautifully all the same. Great stuff.

Thanks, yeah, it's quite interesting how the building-to-minifig scale can be all wrong but still look fine! Thanks again!

Very clever use of the arches and I really like the hands used as flag on the base.
