I heard about it somewhere on the Internet, although I cannot be certain enough to exactly pinpoint where. I do remember that in my research to learn more about A Song of Ice and Fire I came across one of the pictures of King's Lading and Winterfell from the server, and I followed more closely the server as it evolved through the years, looking at online journalistic papers about it. I'd say what really put WesterosCraft into my brain was the discovery and faithful viewing of DutchGuard's walks throughout the Realm.
I am a huge fan of Tolkien's work, although I have yet to read the books (currently reading ASOIAF). With research, out of pure curiosity, I've looked at the world and its lore, from the olden days to current events. I'm quite fascinated by parallels made between Tolkien's work and our own world, especially with religion and culture, not unlike Narnia. I absolutely love Warhammer (love taken up with Total War) and the Witcher series, even though that would only concern the video games.
Game of Thrones, Clash of Kings
Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Season 4, Season 5, Season 6, Season 7
I'm torn between three characters. On one hand, Petyr Baelish. I simply admire his cunning and his exemplary skills of seemingly take advantage of every single event happening throughout the Seven Kingdoms. I think he's the embodiement of the "mind" power that is oftentimes underestimated, some sort of twisted amalgam of both ingenuity and selfishness. Truly chaotic neutral at its best.
On another hand, I have a weak spot for Jorah Mormont. Even at the start of A Game of Thrones, he's spent several years in exile, learning the ways of Essos, a world that will never be his, and grew wiser with these experiences. Although his entire hardship might not be as detailed as others', I believe he's learnt a valuable lesson towards women; to gain one's love, it does not suffice to please, but you must be true to her. I must be honest, though: I do not admire Jorah for his acquired wisdom, but for his undying loyalty towards the woman whom he does not only love, but would follow till the end of time for her wits, values and natural leadership. One can only be richer with Jorah by his side.
Finally, and that'll be my favourite character, Tywin Lannister. He represents the summum of power. I do not admire him for what he fights for (his legacy, although a honourable enough endeavour), but rather how he does it. His presence calls for respect and authority. His personal history of restoring his House's glory and imposing stature is what gained him a reputation of a stoic, pragmatic and incredibly effective politician. His unapologetic deeds are the finest examples (Reynes-Tarbeck Revolt, sack of King's Landing, Red Wedding, etc.). I must say Charles Dance's performance nailed the character up to a point where, on a personal level, he has become Tywin. His sheer, untold will was such a joy to watch on screen that I can only be eager to read about it in the books.
To be honest, I lack some creative skills. The problem is not imagination, but rather make that imagination into reality (may it be on Minecraft or in art classes at school). Although I have been owning Minecraft for a long time, my experience has never really improved them.
However, I have a deep knowledge of the medieval period, and a thorough mind that wants whatever is built being as realistic as possible, even in a fantasy world such as ASOIAF. My ability to learn quickly and effectively work in team are my greatest skills; besides, I welcome constructive criticism at any given time as if it was my best friend. Plus, I believe that my already existing kowledge about the lore of ASOIAF and of historical data of the medieval period may come in handy for replicating the way of life of medieval-like times and reproducing castle-like features throughout WesterosCraft.
As mentionned above, I have been following WesterosCraft for quite some time now. HOWEVER, I have only recently taken up upon myself to add pages to the WesterosCraft wikia. I felt the website was in dire need of updating, whether it be by writing pages for builds which had none, or even redo some of the already existing pages, with new pictures of better quality, grammatical corrections, layout redo. It required a lot of time and efforts, but I was rewarded by the roaming and exploring of the server as soon as I received my new PC.
As such, I was subjected to wonderful builds, but so was I to orphaned, or even non-existent ones. The completion pourcentage has been rather stable through the months, and, to put it frankly, I felt quite ashamed that my lack of skills prevented me of participating in this grand endeavour. After discussing with some fellow WesterosCraft dwellers, though, and after receiving ounces of encouragement, I decided to give it a try. I told myself it did not matter how little I could contribute; I must help in any way I can. I'm motivated enough to complete the challenges, whether it's 3 or 10 or a hundred. Accepted or not, at least I will have tried and I'll keep updating the wiki notwithstanding, with panache.
