    I've some suggestions for the war camp. I would suggest to the commander of this detachment (from the larger Lannister force at Harrenhal) that it be best not to position his main camp so close to the besieged castle and a bit farther back, closer to the creek or even on the other side of it...

    Abandoned Project Application: Maidenpool

    As I've pulled out of Darkdell, I've looked to applying for other projects and will consider taking up MP. Its structuring and layout fits somewhat with my vision and some ideas for another project I'd plan to eventually apply for. These ideas are mainly focused on medieval industry (mills for...

    Withdrawn Project Application: House Norcross by Opaco

    You touch island you die, just kidding. I had originally worked on a test for this site as you can see from the link below, however I found myself lacking in certain skills and decided to abandon the whole thing.

I've also been...

    Approved Central Westerlands megabuild (Tarbeck Hall, Sarsfield, Oxcross, Hornvale) by lemonbear

    Also I have looked at Denis Diderot's Encyclopedie that gives a detailed description of the mechanical arts. Most of his work details mechanical contraptions or mechanical arts used in tradecrafts, like glassmaking, that may have been in use during the medieval era (according to some scholars)...

    Go to the dynmap. Turn on borders, towns, and roads. House Goode, its lands, and the Town of Bechester are within the Riverlands borders (outlined in black). The Gold road, I think that's the name passes right through their lands.

His body and gear preserved by centuries of “crystallization”. Also, I read another article about a large Stone or Iron Age “cemetery of burials”...
