Hey guys! Most of you probably don't know me, so that's why I'm trying to throw myself out there with this inaugural build!

Setting the stage:

I call this the Keep of Haldor, with no particular reasoning behind such a name. I built it on this fantastic creative build server called World of Mysidia (see link below). Like I said before, not many of you guys know me, so I'd like to make a good name for myself in the builder's world, and here's the start I'm making!

Back-story:

The Keep of Haldor was first established by a man named Haldor, and his wife, Thalia. They were always a nomadic couple, moving from place to place, trading goods here and there in major cities and at major ports. They finally decided that they wished to settle down and attempt to establish a major port town of their own, so they started building. First came Haldor's Inn, which is very important to serve to travellers needs, and Thalia's quarry and stonemasonry.

The next thing Haldor set in place was the Lumberjackery, which was where a bit of luck found its way towards him. During one of his tree-cutting expeditions to gather wood for the construction of the Lumberjackery, he stumbled upon 7 shivering youths, just around the ages of 12-17. He asked them what they were doing there, and they said that they'd been driven from their home 10 miles away by their vicious mother, who beat them multiple times a day. Haldor, being the kind-hearted man he was, took these children under his wing and let them live at the inn.

The children turned out to be good workers, and the town was soon booming. The blacksmith's house had been constructed, the school, the mining tent, and the stables had been all finished. By now, about 2 years had passed since Haldor and his wife first came. And that's when it happened...

It was a foggy autumn morning when one of the orphans heard a shrieking sound of some sort of metal. He rubbed his eyes and got out of his bed at the inn. He stared out the window towards where the sound was coming, that being over towards the east where the sun was rising. Then he saw it.

High in the sky at first, but rapidly descending, he saw a tube-like metal object with ornately glowing panels piercing through the sky's fog like a warm knife through a melting slab of butter. The thing descended so fast that the boy had no chance to get a better look before it crashed into the ground with a muffled thud and a boom, and a flash of incredibly bright light.

The boy shut his eyes in discomfort, and moments later opened them to see the ship lodged cleanly into the snow with the sun rising behind it. He waited and waited and waited for something to happen, all the while his brothers and sisters were awaking at the sound and sudden change of lighting. They all rubbed their eyes as he did and stared out the window at the newly lodged creation sitting not 25 yards from their very inn.

Their efforts were fruitless to pierce the hull of the now dormant ship, since the technology was incredibly advanced compared to the newly invented dynamite the villagers were using to attempt to gain entry to the ship. Nobody knows how or why the ship got there, but it had remained there, untouched, for the extent of all of the original settlers' lives, and many of those to come...

Build Info:

If you want to check this build out for yourself, hop on World of Mysidia (see IP below) and just give me a shout and I'll tp you to the location. I've also posted a link to the World of Mysidia PMC page if you wish to check it out, which I strongly suggest you do. I would say the build took me about 7-8 hours in total, and that was without the help of anything except the hand of my builder and the brain of my... head?

^^^ If somebody could help me get this link working that'd be much appreciated

NOTE: I am currently not with Mysidia right now, so if you'd like to see this build please contact me on PMC and I'd be happy to show you!

I thank the brave and the bold heartily for viewing my project, and I hope that you liked what I have created. Who knows? Maybe you even learned a new build technique or two.
