First, I must say that you have backlit and focused your photos well. You
have captured your subject matter and the vibrance of Leo colors well. Some
people may not realize hw hard it is to get the lighting just right for
tight minifig shots. Upon reflection, I think I will have to retake a bunch
of pics. Your update is proof positive that results are often more
dependent on the photographer than the equipment (mine are fuzzy and dark by
comparison and I am using the same camera...ouch)

I think you were successful!
Your economy of words and your staging of very evocative scenes is well
done... Each picture tells its own story and hints to past and future
events. Again, you have added another layer of texture/complexity to your
realm. Before it was merchants and healers, now relationships, weddings and
death. You continue to weave a unique environment/society and focus on
aspects of human experience that are often overlooked.

This is my favorite sequence of this update...vibrant color and truly
evocative pics that set a definite tone and convey much information.
Random thoughts:
nice battle scene! Mysterious dark robed figures similar to Terry Brooks'
dark creatures and Tolkien's Ring wraiths.
Heck, I never knew you could attach anything to the silver sword hilts
The wedding scene is reminiscient of the weddings in Boorman's Excalibur and
First Knight w/ Sean Connery...
I think this bio is probably the best showcase of pictures being worth
10,000 words. You managed to elicit alot of emotio from staic face
expressions and little plastic figures = )
The wedding vail and burial shroud is a cool touch.

I really like the "back against the wall" heroes being surrounded scene. A
good rendition of a very primal theme.

Justus? Where does he fit in Brad's (LEGO vp) family tree? I like the use
of the SW naboo guard torso with the cloak.

The naming convention is an interesting malange of Native American, Medieval
European, and fantasy (elves/dwarves) naming customs; another intriguing
parameter of your society. I think that a seperate paragraph of a few
sentences explaining each your examples would be better than the integration
of your example in the definition. Essentially, state your definition of
character name or honor name in general. Then a small prargraph of example.
Cool update...can't wait to see what else you come up with.
