'Beyhadur' is actually more of a title than a name, per se. Think along the
lines of Warrior-Prophet. There have been several Beyhadurs in Olmish history,
but few with the importance of this one. And there will likely be more to
come, but as Olman history progresses towards modernity there will be less
prophets than before (much like Human history).
heh heh. Also my language of inspiration came more from a persian-turkic point
of view. "bey" is something like a duke, a political rank.

eeewww. looks at the photos now I can see your point. Now the secret is out,
while I do have photoshop at home, my monitor is in such a condition that I can
barely see anything. Everything is really dark and fuzzy and hurts my eyes to
stare at alot. I'll try to get the problem images fixed and replaced.

again, problems with my font choice. next story I do will definately pick
another font. but I have problems looking for one that is sufficiently
castle-like for my taste. any ideas?

aside from the sheer trouble of rendering. i've never made anything in MLCAD
that i liked the next day. Using the computer, IMHO, looses the fluidity of
Lego creations, especially as regards design mistakes. it is such a pain to go
back and add something in or take something out!
THANKS for the COMMENTS!!
