Name of Project: The Pende Arcis
Location of Project: Flat Lands
Size of the project: ~160+ plots for the complex itself. I'm also hoping to be given sovereignty of the surrounding region in order to build roads, ruins, etc.
Intention of the project: Monastic Complex and Citadel
Reason for inability to claim plots personally: It would be absolutely absurd
Residents: Tantara, potentially members of the Order (Axex, Valisa, Ikbenlars, etc.)
Builders: Tantara, potentially members of the Order (Axex, Valisa, Ikbenlars, etc.)
Why is this a good addition to HollowWorld?: It will be an immersive area with an excellent backstory. It's add a whole new layer to roleplay by offering an area that is meant to be explored and will hopefully act as a questing hub when it's finished.
Used materials: Sandstone and brick for the exterior
Inspiration: The Pandeora monasteries at Mount Athos in Greece as well as early Byzantine and Italian architecture.
RP explanation/introduction:
The Pende Arcis, colloquially known as “The Arcis” or simply “Arcis”, was founded in the tumultuous era following the cataclysmic release of evil that fulminated with Queen Grief's escape. Meaning "the Suspended Citadel", it was founded as a place of solace and sanctuary in the midst of a chaotic and dark time. It was created in order to act as a counterweight to the rising dark might of Fortress Naught. The members of the Order (followers of the deities of Good and Order as well as remnants of the Knights Radiant) built the monastery in secret as to keep the eyes of Chaos off of it while it wasn't defendable.
A great sentinel, the complex is perched on several large stones in the great Lake Seraph and located in the Flat Lands. From its sunbleached and fortified walls, members of the Order defend against evil and protect the mountain passes that lead to the monastery. The Order is also eager to provide shelter to travellers in order to promote peace. They welcome all to take refuge in the sanctuary's walls if they so wish.
I plan on further expanding this idea once this is approved under a towny thread.
Planning: http://picoolio.com/show/46271/zt2gc, this is a very rough-draft. I plan on having much more elaborate buildings than what you see there. Please look at the two larger buildings to see what I actually plan on making.
Links to previous work: See above.
Other information:
I already have perhaps half of the sandstone needed for this project and maybe a quarter of the brick. King Ikbenlars has agreed to use voxelsniper in order to create the specific landmarks and terrain that I have planned for this area and I'mm also hoping that I'll be able to use outposts to place ruined buildings and watchtowers to add flavor to the area. The area of land that I plan on using is quite large, so I'll need a lot of space.
My plans for this include 3 valleys with ruins, a forest with ruins, the monastery itself, a large lake, a mountain range, farmlands, a small ruined fort, etc. A lot of this doesn't have to be claimed with towny, but I will want them in the area around where I'm to be. I'm hoping that, eventually, the admins will be able to add quests and whatnot to the area as it'll serve little purpose otherwise. This all doesn't have to be done at once; it's a long-term plan. Also, I know that I'm asking for a lot so I will of course understand if I won't be able to do everything I have planned.
Thanks!
