The Story of Ravious Bose: Part 1

[Captain Settle]

Avalonia was dying. Ravious remembered the times when it was a vibrant and happy place, but now it was hardly better than Nocturnus. He was nearing the edge of the town walls on the way back to his house, with his two sons. He thought back to when Avalonian walls made him feel safe, but now he couldn't wait to get away from them.

However his son, Roland, only felt safe near the walls, and was scared about the walk home. There was a time when he loved walking past the meadows and fields with his mother on the way home, but all that had changed now. The walk was dangerous with all the bandits about, and his mother had been killed by the elementals. Roland was always closer to his mother than his father, for he loved artistic things, such as painting or singing. He had no interest in his fathers job of fishing, for lakes these days were murky, and filled with evil creatures.

Ravious' eldest son was quite the opposite of Roland. Deixis had been nicknamed Hercules by the rest of the townsfolk due to his incredible strength. He was skilled with a sword, and many girls in the town were after his heart. He fought in the town arena often, and had never lost. Ravious was very proud of him.

Roland stopped. Ravious saw that he was scared about leaving the town walls, for he was every time they left, so Ravious put on his best encouraging smile, and told Roland that if bandits gave them trouble they could easily defeat the bandits. Roland was still scared, but he carried on walking.

They were leaving Tolswick...

[Robinson]

Nice work on tower. Really like the randomness of the wall. Story is nice too.

[Derfel Cadarn]

Nice little build and a good way to try your hand at different techniques. Interesting story too! It seems Avalonia is looking dark and grim!

[Mike S]

I think this may be your best build yet! Great job!

[Gideon]

Nice tower, that stonework is really lovely!

I also like your photography, especially the closeups of the minifigs. Keep it up

I think a darker tone benefits Guilds of Historica, at least for myself I'd prefer that over a cheerful fantasy world.
