armageddon818 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Ok so it has been not that long since I last posted about Alsiae, the Glacier City. But now I come back much more prepared after a wealth of reflective thought. -A storyline-A scheme-Precise things to do No, there is no more waiting for me! Storyline: (Gonna have to write this eventually) Its just an ice city right? It might be pretty...so what? So what: The people are cursed. These people had once been the peaceful, proud, and prosperous denizens of Emdral, a lush ocean paradise eternally cleansed by powerful fiery spirits. A group of conspirators, seeking power over their devotion to their religion, mortally wounded the incarnate winged wolf deity Feci. Forced into a healing slumber, the island plummeted into chaos and ice. As their god slept to heal the conspirators magically have kept it asleep, perpetuating the winter. These people have become powerful in the cold, and the majority of the population has believed the lie that their god has forsaken them. They live religious lives now, forever praying that their god might return and ruse the island from its icy coma. You come along, the character and stumble upon these mysteries. There are new things here for sure, but the lower class suspects something different is going on...something different than what the palace has dictated. A hermit in the wilderness above the glacier knows the truth and has been exiled. You learn the truth as well, and join the peasant resistance (or tell the palace...kill the peasants...and join the ranks of the palace guard) and utulize the abundant secret tunnel system to retrieve information and assassinate key targets. You kill the mages chaining Feci in his slumber and awaken him, and in doing so receive his blessing and restore the island to its lush pastures and perpetual spring. (or you keep it icy and become the head Somnor, or keeper of Feci's sleep.) Scheme (architecturally): the glacier wraps around itself in a U shape with an inland sea/bay. The crescent slopes upward toward the middle where the massive palace is carved into the sheer face of the glacier wall. All houses (except the lower class) are like this... the fronts of the buildings carved out from the walls. Ledges and mountain passes give access to these places. Specific Tasks thus far: The team is starting with the worldspace and then the palace itself. That is a massive undertaking in itself because not only are the exernal deocrations elaborate and intricate, but the inside of the palace needs to be massive and astounding as well. The gates are uniquely placed at the top of the mountain, so there is indeed quite the trip to get there. A massive statue of Feci, and spiralling spire tunnels, ledges and platforms are all things that need to be done just for the outside. Almost all of the modeling is going to be original...especially for the outside. The insides might just be retextures of caves etc. Well, if i didnt want people to join, i wouldnt have typed all of this...so if you are a modeler and found any of this interesting...please join us...the group currently consists of me and alex2avs. When they are done with their mod (Dragon City...check it out its so cool) they plan on joining the group as well. So please... there is lots to be done and we could really use Your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armageddon818 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Perhaps if you would elaborate on what that is exaclty and how they are similar, I can reroute my story to be more original...that's slightly disappointing because i thought the idea was fairly original at least with everything considered. I'd be happy to distinguish though, so let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armageddon818 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hmmm... I am going to need a lot of help contructing this ice palace because it is just so HUGE! The outside of it, which is supposed to look "carved" out of the sheer face of the glacier is going to require a bunvh of custom models. Not to mention the inside decor of the palace needs to be lofty and cavernous. There is a lot of space, so a lot of halls would be good. Anyone intersted in doing some interior/exterior/landscape designing? I have some sketches if people want them. And anyone who has skype, if we chat we can use the sketchpad plugin to cooperately draw the ideas out and save them as jpeg files. I have done this quite a few time and has been the source of many of my ideas. PM me if interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
