Atahlus
Like shipwrecked people - Frisian terp mound
"There twice in each period of a day and a night the ocean with its vast tide sweeps in a flood over a measureless expanse, covering up Nature's age-long controversy and the region disputed as belonging whether to the land or to the sea."
"There this miserable people occupy elevated patches of ground or platforms built up by hand above the level of the highest tide experienced, living in huts erected on the sites so chosen, and resembling sailors in ships when the water covers the surrounding land, but shipwrecked people when the tide has retired"
- Pliny the Elder, The Natural History
A build based on the place where I grew up - Frisia! Where every second village still has a little medieval church on a mound, from an age before dams and dykes kept the place dry. When I saw that this years Summer Joust had an island category, I just had to give it a shot. First build in a looong time, I've missed it!
