Ostara

Name: Ostara
By: Thuter
Time: 75 hours

You are a lone traveler, lost in the vast, sloping planes. On the horizon you suddenly see towers and walls. Not only your stomach but also curiosity drives you closer, hoping to find a place to rest, sleep and recover from your long journey. As you reach the heavy, double portullises you feel a cool breeze, and a voice whispers: "Who enters my domain?" You shiver, and say your name out loud to the gate, afraid of what might happen. But the voice replies: "You are welcome in my quarters, for I, the King of Seasons, am a noble man. I will not ignore those who seek refuge. Look for a mage by the name of Thuter, he will be your guide."

Ostara (derived from 'easter') has been my whitelisting project on the creative server Planet Cube. It consists of 4 large towers, 4 smaller towers with ballistae and a central tower, where the King lives. Each tower contains a different building, there are a Mage Guild, the Royal Archives, a forge called Stonetooth's, a prison, a small indoor farm, a hospital and place for the guards to sleep upstairs in the gate towers. The central towers contains a throne room with the Throne of Winter and the Throne of Summer, a bedroom, a study room and a shrine to the goddess of Spring; Eostre (also derived from 'easter').

In the courtyard are some small builds, a market, a training course for the mages, gallows and a graveyard. Below the Mage Guild is a meditation area.

Special thanks go to the player Ossiter, who dug the holes for the meditation area and the prison with VoxelSniper.
