-Carson Haupt- Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 On the far western border of Burnby, there is a town that dates from the time of the Kaliphlin Conquest. When the guilds were formed, it was abandoned in favor of newer settlements. However, over time, the river Avonmora, once the lifeblood of the town, grew until it covered the entire valley. Only the tallest buildings poked above the water. Nobody knows exactly when, but sometime in the last three hundred years the area was resettled by exiles from both Mitgardia and Kaliphlin. They fashioned homes out of wood, and built them on top of the ruins. Now they fly the Avalonian colors. Fishing is a major part of their economy. Guards are posted to keep an eye out for bears in the winter months. They like to steal the fish. People store and gut fish away from their homes, so that they will stay clean. The organs are thrown back into the river, so that the May nourish the other fish and continue the cycle. Due to all the fish, there is a large cat population. Since they have no farmland or animals, a lot of the supplies must be imported. Using barges made of logs, they float up and down the river, selling fish and trading for supplies. While they're traveling, the rivermen live in their barges. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This was one of those really fas builds. I really enjoyed building it, and hope you like looking at it! I'd also like to claim the following: Shipping by Water Fishing Oceanside or river scene C&c welcome! Quote
Gunman Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Really lovely moc man.. I like the barges and the towers at the top of the rocks are cool! Quote
HammerBro Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Wow, great build! When I glanced at the pictures I though that they were a bit too symmetrical, then I read it and was surprised by the idea. I really like it, reminds me of Laputa. The woodwork is nice and the barge is very cool! Very nice build. Quote
qiadris Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Must be a hard place to live in! +1 on the claims Quote
robuko Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Love this, such a great idea. The white backdrop is a little confusing, I guess you didn't have any blue? Lots to like here, the birds really stand out. Quote
Yooha Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Good idea of a town. The transparent pieces work prefectly as water riplling at the buildings. One qustion: what is Master Koon's head doing on top of the raft? Quote
soccerkid6 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Such a great idea, I'd love to see you make a few other builds focused on the "Drowned Town". The buildings are excellent, I especially like the watchtower Cool barge as well Quote

The buildings are excellent, I especially like the watchtower Cool barge as well Thanks! I might just have to do that. Good idea of a town. The transparent pieces work prefectly as water riplling at the buildings. One qustion: what is Master Koon's head doing on top of the raft? Ummm.. Long story. It's a delicacy! Love this, such a great idea. The white backdrop is a little confusing, I guess you didn't have any blue? Lots to like here, the birds really stand out. I do have blue, but it's really dark. Quote
Rolli Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Great concept and very well executed! The raft and the birds are great! Would love to see this with brick built water and structures underneath to give it more depth.. Quote

Would love to see this with brick built water and structures underneath to give it more depth.. I was going to do that but... I figured I'd just finish it and get ready for the next challenge. Quote
Gideon Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Very nice and original idea! I'd love to know what's hidden beneath the surface there! UoP +1 for the claims. Quote
-Carson Haupt- Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 Very nice and original idea! I'd love to know what's hidden beneath the surface there! UoP +1 for the claims. Thanks! I might have to do a follow up build with the underwater sections included. Quote
Kai NRG Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Great concept, good work on the houseboat especially! +1 for you claims. Quote

kabel Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 You should make a whole town out of this and claim hss credits Quote
-Carson Haupt- Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 You should make a whole town out of this and claim hss credits Thanks! I plan to! First I'm going to order some trans-black bricks to make water, so I can include underwater sections. Quote
