Hey Tanya
What a great post!
Part of the reason for my apparent conversion to .space is that the past month
or so, just about every post in castle has been (1)complaining that no one is
posting or (2)ideas for the Medieval Marketplace.. but not that many post of
actual MOC.
well, i'll give it a try:
Well, here's what I got:::
a new Epic Story, told in a style similiar to the Brick Testament (quasi-comic
form, with a mythic narration style). All in all, it will be almost 100
images, divided into four parts.
The Epic of the Beyhadur
1)the Prophecy
wherein the Olman people are warned of their impurity and punishment by
barbarians.. but there will be salvation
2)the Calling
wherein God picks his chosen warriors (the leader is called the
Beyhadur = Hand of God)- and the people fight back
3)the Rising
wherein the Beyhadur and rebels fight the barbarian conquerors and
defeat them
4)the Uprising
wherein a new king is crowned
or something like that.
