Yes, of course I am aware that many other people have begun Garreg Mach recreation projects, and in some cases have even finished building the whole map. I have to admire the effort that has gone into each of these projects, and I would support public releases of them fully, but I still feel justified in beginning my own project, for a number of reasons.

• A lack of downloadable maps - I have been unable to find a single downloadable Garreg Mach, even unfinished, despite the great number of builders working on them.
• Scale - ideally I believe that Garreg Mach should feel consistent with its original depiction in scale, so that the map feels at home in Minecraft, or else it will be less fun to walk around.
• Detail - as time goes on, we are all fortunate enough to have access to more recent blocks and building techniques as new Minecraft updates release. Recent updates in particular have introduced useful blocks like candles and copper, which I hope will make it easier to portray Garreg Mach's medieval setting more faithfully. In addition, while I don't consider myself a particularly skilled builder, I have the support of capable friends to bounce ideas off of, and as a result I hope to be able to maintain a high attention to detail.
• Following - As a skin creator who posts primarily Fire Emblem skins, I know that my following is interested in seeing Garreg Mach reach completion, and there is the possibility of group work or even an open project here as a result.
• Why not? - It shouldn't matter if multiple people release their own interpretations of Garreg Mach Monastery. I am sure that each one will have areas where it is unique and will be preferred by some people over another interpretation.

Finally, I want to state my intentions clearly regarding the sharing of the project - while I cannot guarantee that I will finish building the entirety of the monastery, and I believe it would be foolish to say so, my promise to you is that I will try to maintain an up-to-date download link of the most recent version of the project, especially if I find myself losing motivation. If I go missing for, let's say, two years, and there is no news on the project, then at that point I leave it to the wider community to take my work and continue in my stead. I don't want to leave behind lots of pretty screenshots and then forget all about the project, leaving everyone hanging. If you do choose to continue the project because I have become inactive, any efforts to reach out to me, for example via PMC message, would be appreciated, in case I do return at some point.
