Master Greybeard's House
A trip to master Greybeard’s house was always an ordeal. They might say say nice things about him off in the court of Northania, but I’m quite sure that none of those fools had ever spent more than a minute in his presence. Me on the other hand, I’d had more than my fill.
By my estimations, I’ve come to conclude that master Greybeard is the most cantankerous man to live on the east side of Northania. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever heard him say a kind word. Back in Northania, they say he’s the best. Or at least that he was the best. The Champion of the king’s guard they say; the first through the breach of Tranguar they say, the winner of the blackguard’s contest they say. Bah! Grouchybeard is what I say! Grouchybeard the cantankerous!
But here I am again, for all my complaining on the road for another day lectures, and insults from a cranky old man who’s far past his prime. But I know it’ll be worth it, because one day I’ll be the best. One day, I’ll be the teacher. One day, I won’t have to take orders from an old man – I’ll be giving them. I wonder what my pupils will call me…
Well, I decided to take a stab at some castle building - an area where I don't really have a lot of expertise - and so reworked my first castle themed creation I posted over on Mocpages (not visible here on flickr due to it being terrible) The reworked version presents my first real foray into a theme I'm looking forward to building in again. I hope you enjoy!
