It's good to be back in Guilds of Historica!
Uktror is my homage to the classic 375 Castle set from all those years ago.
These Moruth Orcs have taken residence in the abandoned castle on the outskirts of the capital Abyssian. Moruth Orcs are always on the lookout for a nice juicy score, be it a poorly guarded delivery or some poor lost souls, these are characters you don't want to stumble upon.
Inspired by the Eurobricks Event Yellow Castle redesigned by Copmike.
Dedicated to my mate Sirens-of-Titan, who is way to busy studying to be a doctor to have time to build, cheers mate.
The 122m spire on top of the belltower of the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul. The cathedral, dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, the patron saints of the fortress, was designed by Domenico Trezzini in 1712. The guilded needle spire, crowned by a weather-vane angel, remained the tallest structure in St. Petersburg until 1960.
When renovators were cleaning the angel on the spire in 1997, they found a note in a bottle left in one of the folds of the angel's gown. In the note, renovators from 1953 apologised for what they felt was rushed and shoddy work (Khrushchev wanted the angel refurbished for the 250th anniversary of the city that year). It is said that the renovators in 1997 left another message for future generations, but the contents of that message have not been revealed.

- After the beginning of the war, guilds are formed throughout the galaxy that begin to smuggle goods and money early on after tariffs have been levied throughout the Republic and Empire's catchment area. Whole bands form to transport goods more cheaply.
- In der gesamten Galaxis bilden sich nach Beginn des Krieges Gilden die schon früh beginnen Waren und Geld zu schmuggeln nachdem im gesamten Einzugsbereich der Republik bzw. des Imperiums Zölle erhoben worden. Ganze banden bilden sich, um Waren billiger zu transportieren.

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.

Guilds of Historica Book II Challenge 1 C entry.
Soraya of the Hashishin has been sent by the Black Spire to recruit a tribe of cyclops. The cyclops matriarch has has accepted to join her forces to the cause of the Black Spire, after some persuasion and promises of freedom for her tribe from the Nocturnian yoke of tributes they have long suffered under.
Soraya hands over the colors of the Black Spire to the cyclops. They will soon get ready to go to war and join the ranks of Lord Raavage, and finally get their chance to dethrone that pesky Lord Ssilyrrlith.
This wonderful 13th-century chapel has some very fine wall paintings, currently being restored. Some were covered over with limewash whilst others were hidden behind the panelling, which you can see on the right-hand side. It's believed there is a mural of the Whore of Babylon lurking somewhere...

It's an exciting year for us here in Preston as it's Preston Guild. Preston Guild comes around every 20 years and it's a brilliant celebration where all Prestonian's come together. There are various events thoughout the year, culminating in September where we have a week of parades and good stuff.
This year, American artist Yvette Mattern has designed a laser show to celebrate the opening of the olympics and also to symbolise diversity and peace. Preston is home to these lights for 3 nights where they light up our docklands.
I couldn't resist grabbing my camera and running down there, but I was with the small one so didn't take the tripod as I had to keep one eye on him and one eye on down the lens! I took over 200 shots and really couldn't pick out a favourite, but I do rather like this one if I'm allowed to. I'll probably put a few more up over the next few days.
The current Bath stone building, which was designed by Thomas Baldwin, was built between 1775 and 1778. It was extended by John McKean Brydon in 1893. The central facade has 4 Ionic columns and the building is surmounted by the figure of Justice. The central dome and the north and south wings were added in 1893 and form a continuous building with the Victoria Art Gallery which was also built around the same time.
The Guildhall suffered considerable damage in a fire on 25 April 1972. The interior includes a banqueting hall with engaged Corinthian columns. It contains 18th century chandeliers and original royal portraits. The room is used on royal visits to the city including Queen Elizabeth II who had lunch in the banqueting room in May 2002.
It now houses the Bath and North East Somerset Council chamber, the Register office for Bath and North East Somerset, which sees the building used as a wedding venue, and houses the Bath and North East Somerset Archives and Local Studies services in the Bath Record Office. The Guildhall also serves as one of the venues for the Bath International Music Festival and other cultural events. It has been used for filming period dramas.

We walked along Chapel Street, peering in the shop windows and enjoying the old buildings. You can see the Guild Chapel at the end of this street, where the street changes to Church Street and the Edward Moon Brasserie.
The Guild Chapel of the Holy Cross, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire is a chapel of 13th century origins. Founded by the Guild of the Holy Cross before 1269, it passed into the control of the town corporation in 1553, when the Guild was suppressed by Edward VI. The chapel stands on Church Street, opposite the site of William Shakespeare's home, New Place, and has historic connections to Shakespeare's family. The chapel was gifted an extensive series of wall-paintings by Hugh Clopton, an earlier owner of New Place, and John Shakespeare, Shakespeare's father, undertook their defacement in the later 1500s. The paintings have recently been conserved. Clopton undertook a major expansion of the chapel before his death in 1496, constructing a new nave which was incomplete when he died. The chapel was restored in a thirty-year programme undertaken by Stephen Dykes Bower from 1954-1983 and is a Grade I listed building. Owned and maintained by the Stratford-upon-Avon Town Trust, the chapel is used for services by King Edward VI School.
Edward Moon was a travelling chef who worked for the British Colonial service in the early 19th Century. His adventures took him to far away places where he cooked for governors and ambassadors, taking them back to their homeland with every British-flavoured mouthful. As well as being an expert in English cuisine, he was also very creative and embraced all the different ingredients and cooking styles he encountered. Today this restaurant pays homage to Edward Moon’s life by serving a plethora of English dishes, alongside some internationally influenced creations.
