Scene 1: Humble Beginnings by Geneva D
In the bustling marketplace of Castello, where poor artisans and farmers from miles around gather to trade wares and stories, John and his son Martin work long hours in their modest outdoor space. It's a small start, but that doesn't keep these craftsmen from dreaming big and working hard.
Scene 2: Burgeoning Success by Eyrezer
Years of dedication paid off when Lord Baldric commissioned Guildmaster John and his fellows for an elaborate stained-glass window. Despite showing off their best designs, the wealthy patron wanted something grander than they had ever attempted. The challenge was daunting, but the promise of wealth and recognition fueled their efforts; Martin, now a master glassblower, felt convinced they could pull it off.
Scene 3: Betrayal by jtooker
On the day of unveiling, Lord Balric refused to honor his agreement, knowing the guild’s debt would ruin them. Devastated and enraged, John, Martin and other guild members shattered their masterpiece in defiance.
Scene 4: Humble Endings by Sam
Jailed, John and Martin found solace in their craft again. With limited resources, they created a simple stained-glass window for their cell. Despite their fall, the bond between father and son remained unbroken, and they found hope and dignity in the use of their gifts to once again make beautiful things.
"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:

Guilds of Historica Book II Challenge 1 B entry.
In order to establish dominance over the swamplands of Nocturnus, the Black Spire has established outposts on well defendable locations. As the swamp is filled with way too much entangled plants, the only way to reach the tower on this rock is by a wooden walkway.
First time I have really messed with taking pictures in game. It really is a very pretty game, and I hope to take more.
The restaurant at The Guild Hall in Norwich. Fab place for breakfast and right in the city centre.

Eaurios, pearl of the Ocean
Oceans are dangerous and deep so there aren't many people who are facing them. But if they do, they could reach Eaurios. Suprisingly in the middle of the Ocean east to Mitgardia there is shallow water. When they would succeed to pass the treacherous water and creatures in the shallows they'll find the grand forrests of Eaurios. The giant salt water trees and plants there are magnificant and provide the people everything they need. Like food, wood and even shelter because the trees are hollow. And what the trees can't provide the ocean does!
History
Stories say the citizens from Eaurios came from the oceans further east and that they are descendens of an elvish race. They were seeking treasures but found the forrests instead. They were struck by the beauty of it and decided to stay. Since then Eaurios is a thriving land were people live in harmony with nature. Rarely they visit the coasts of Mitgardia and Nocturnus because what business will they be seeking there when having already found the Pearl of the Ocean.
Guild name: Eaurios
Guild Location: A 10 day swim away from the East coast of Mitgardia
Capital and Ruler: Rifidem ruled by Eshreï Amthibius
Unique characteristics: It is said, the people of Eaurios can swim faster than a man can row. Altough never confirmed because you rarely see one, they do grow up surrounded by water and when travelling they say a day swim instead of a day sailing or walking.

In Jan 2009 I visited the Guild Inn property in southern Scarborough. I vaguely recall attending an event there likely in the 70's.
In 2017 the refurbished facility was reopened as Guild Inn Estate, a wedding and special event space.
The Preston Guild Wheel is a 21 mile cycle path that circles around the city.
The cycle path was built by Lancashire County Council with the support of Preston City Council (and significant help from volunteers) to leave a lasting legacy to Preston Guild 2012.

Some guild agents to go with my guild navigator, largely based on those seen in the David Lynch film. The main guy speaks through a translator device held by his side-kick.
Direct Rail Services 66402 at the now closed Aberdeen Guild Street freight terminal on 17th February 2005. The locomotive had just worked in the W.H.Malcolm intermodal service from Grangemouth and the first ISO container is being lifted by the resident reach stacker. The rail-mounted container lifting gantry was at this time out of use, but it was subsequently purchased by and refurbished on behalf of DRS and re-sited at the new Craiginches Terminal on the southern approach to the Granite City. Guild street terminal has now been built upon. I was fortunate to travel on this and the return service to Grangemouth later that day as part of my business development role at DRS at the time aiming to have a better understanding at first hand of the operational complexities of such services. It was also most enjoyable!

Monster High Frankie Stein presents The Explorers Guild Volume One: A Passage to Shambhala (©2015) by Jon Baird, Stephen Meyer, and Kevin Costner (yes, that Kevin Costner), illustrated by Rick Ross.
.
The tale is set in the period between 1912 and 1918. Coincidentally, one of the subplots of the mammoth tome I finally finished reading last night, Against the Day by Thomas Pynchon, was a search for the mythical land of Shambhala set in the same time period.
.
Similar to the remarkable The Invention of Hugo Cabret (©2007) by Brian Selznick, The Explorers Guild intersperses text chapters with a graphic novel format, although in Explorers Guild much of the artwork is of a more straightforward comic book style as opposed to the almost fine art approach of Cabret, with the exception of several astonishing full-colour plates reminiscent of N. C. Wyeth in both style and substance.
.
So, how is it? I don't know, I haven't read it yet, but I intend to start as soon as I have finished composing this overly-lengthy caption!
Guilds of Historica Book II Challenge 1 A
Soraya is a member of the Hashishin, an ancient and secretive group of Kaliphlin assassins. Some even claim that the very word "assassin" can be traced back to this group. The widespread idea that the Hashishin are smoking certain plants before combat is however an ignorant misinterpretation of the name. Even though their numbers are few, they are feared throughout Kaliphlin and indeed throughout Historica.
Soraya is very skilled in the use of her long single-edged sword, but she also has a few more tricks up her sleeve. One of these is her trained monkey, fiercely loyal and with surprising skills with the knife.
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, as Soraya well knows. She therefore lets her monkey follow her on the side between the trees. When as expected a Nocturnian soldier ambushes her, the monkey is ready to deal with the threat...
I've been working on printing cyanotypes on transparent paper and laying this on gold leaf. I'd be very interested in hearing from anyone who has tried exposing cyanotypes on transparent paper.
