Project Progress
Andrast (In Progress) - Lead: @Tyranystrasz
The terrain at Fennas Forven is being reworked at the moment, furthermore the Ras Morthil fortress (aka Pyke) has made some more progress.
Anfalas (In Progress) - Lead: @otho
- no progress this week -
Lamedon (In Progress) - Lead: @_Luk
A massive step forward this project took this week: Terraforming progress in literally every corner of the fief, especially though on the northern end where the Blackroot Vale is being created. For some time the southern exit of the Paths of the Dead was closed due to that, but it is now open again, however still WIP.
Additionally a very beautiful castle has been built in western Lamedon, a neighbouring village to it has already been marked out almost completely.
Lond Daer (In Progress) - Lead: @MandosAdditionally a very beautiful castle has been built in western Lamedon, a neighbouring village to it has already been marked out almost completely.
Mandos along with the help of @bender400 and other Artists has made this project take a vertical take-off: Wall and main gate with a massive bridge over the river Gwathló (Greyflood) are to a large part done and a majestic shrine has been constructed in record time!
Lothlórien Vegetation (In Progress) - Lead: @Eriol_Eandur
We started to work on region 2 this week. Some nice small streams were made flowing down the mountainsides. All new trees were pasted in. All trees were root fixed in jobs, thanks a lot to all who helped.
Bush building is finished in seven out of nine sections. Thanks to @Ryiw for building tons of wonderful bushes in awesome speed.
We will see if we can finish the region during the summer event. There will be flower placing jobs
