The guild masters were not just guild masters, but true magicians of their craft. Together, they transformed their town into a city of renowned artisans.
There was Zyko, for example; no one else could write on paper faster or more skillfully than he could. And what he read or saw, he preserved forever.
Catya, the magical blacksmith, could not only work metal but also crystal into razor-sharp blades, like no one before her.
Then there was Zillpo. No one has ever played or crafted more stringed instruments than he did.
With Macari, it's uncertain whether anyone had ever made more brooms than him, or even if brooms were known before him.
And last but not least, Basius, artist and enthusiast of glassware. His creations were in demand worldwide.

Well, going back through my recent trip, I have now crossed the Channel and reached the Belgian Flanders (although I also went to Liege in the Walloon region of Belgium, and Rotterdam in the Netherlands as well as the francophone capital Brussels). I start with a very typical architecture from that region.

"Legends and Horror Stories of Historica"
There are all manner of scary stories told throughout the ages in Historica. Some are surely simply tales created for entertainment around a fire on a fall evening. Some may be fairy tales sometimes used by parents to try to keep their children close to home during dangerous times. Some may result from the, er, "impaired" sensory experiences of wandering travelers. But, some, some are true.....
Historica is an ancient land with magics and mysteries stretching many generations.
Who can tell the fact from the fiction?
You?
I doubt it.
There's still time to join in on the fun! Here's the link to the Challenge thread over on Eurobricks:

Lichfield Guild Hall easily has the plushest, cleanest, most civilised toilets in town. This is largely because they are hidden on the second floor (third floor to those in the US) and few people know they are there. The toilet pans are vintage Royal Doulton.

Acclaimed as one of the world’s most sensational assembly of percussionists, the Top Secret Drum Corps was formed in 1991 by seven talented drummers from the Swiss city of Basel. With 25 drummers and colorguard members, the corps became famous for its demanding six-minute routine performed at the Edinburgh Tattoo in 2003. With its invitation to Edinburgh, Top Secret became one of the first non-military, non-British Commonwealth acts to perform on the Esplanade at Edinburgh Castle.
Since its success in 2003, Top Secret has returned to Edinburgh many times and under the leadership of Erik Julliard, the band is also responsible for the founding of the Basel Tattoo, a military tattoo show similar to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, now held annually in Basel.
Top Secret has its roots in the rich drumming traditions of the band's home city, Basel, Switzerland, which is known for its annual carnival called Fasnacht. The city is said to have over 3,000 active drummers at any one time. These drummers perform at traditional events such as Fasnacht, the Vogel Gryff, Charivari, and various parades associated with the city's guilds. A Trommelkönig (Drummer King) competition is also held every year by the city's Fasnacht Committee.
Drumming Style:
Basel drumming style is militaristic, derived from the military drumming drills of Swiss soldiers dating back to the Middle Ages. Top Secret in many ways adheres to the military nature of Basel drumming, but differs in many respects. Its drummers play at a much faster rate. Also, while traditional Basel drumming is somber and favours traditional marching tunes (accompanied by fifes during the Fasnacht), Top Secret's drumming style is upbeat and playful. Over the years, the corps adopted many elements from Drum Corps International (DCI), Scottish, and American rudimental drumming. Segments of their routines feature a "rhumba", a drummer's duel (where a number, if not all, of the drummers will fight one another, using their sticks as one-handed swords or fencing foils; at Gymotion 2014, the drummers fought the colour guard, who used their flags as double-blades), drumstick juggling (seen at every show, where the drummers and sometimes the colour guard throw their sticks and flags, respectively, to one another (the colour guard always throw the flags over the bass drummers' heads)), flagpoles and bass drums which produce sparks and other crowd-pleasing details, such as removable bass drums (first seen at Gymotion 2014) and fire-sticks (usually the last act of their show, where the drummers produce two special sticks, light the ends and perform a very fast drumbeat, after which the fire is extinguished). Their 2012 routine at the Edinburgh Tattoo included strobe lights within their drums that appeared to be activated by the drummer's beats; there were also similar lights at either end of their flags.
Perhaps because of their 18th Century uniforms and precision work, the Corps is often referred to as a military band or a part of the Swiss Army, but it is not affiliated with any military unit.
Members: Top Secret's members are highly dedicated college students to drummers with diverse day jobs—bankers, civil servants, factory workers, etc. They give up their free time to practice nearly every day of the year. Due to the demanding nature of the work, its membership is frequently changing.

In some parts of Nocturnus, the strangleweeds grow very thick and the only relatively safe means of transportation is on the rare stone paths with stone walls and regular patrols to get rid of the weeds. These paths are unfortunately also an excellent place for an ambush.
The Techno Guild provided carrier spacecraft to the Confederacy of Independent Systems which had an auspicious start during the Geonosian conflict. The carriers ranged in size depending on their purpose; whereas the medium types carried less Battle Droid Units, they were deployed faster than the larger core ships.
