Westeros Heritage List

[Rexstop15]

Dear community,
As you may already know, submissions for the Spring 2022 Rookery issue are already open, and the team has decided to accept my suggestion of creating a “Westerosi World Heritage List”. But what does this consist of exactly?
Well, the UNESCO defines a World Heritage Site as “a somehow unique landmark which is geographically and historically identifiable and has special cultural or physical significance”. The objective will be to create a list of the most remarkable sites built on the server until the date.
The process of selection of the sites would be the following:
Every member of the community will be able to make nominations for the places that they believe need to appear on the list, so simply respond to this thread with your nominations (as many as you want!). After a week or so, the nominations will be collected, and they will be voted by a committee following the same criteria that is followed in real life. At the end of the process, an amount would be selected as finalist and they will be featured in the next rookery.
Please try to read the nominations made by other members before commenting, so it is easier for me to collect them. Also, it is important than apart from castles and keeps, natural sites or even intangible cultural heritage, like “the wine industry in the Arbor”, are also proposed for voting. Good luck!

Are we supposed to select nominees based on lore/canon or based on the server (and community) itself?

i think both but more based on lore/cannon

the idea was to make it with the builds built on the server, so it can be expanded with time

 

[Batelgause]

the idea was to make it with the builds built on the server, so it can be expanded with time

If we make the list with only the already built buildings and landmarks , we will have to remove almost half of them since they are not built yet and wont be in the near future. So i think it should be a general Westeros Heritage list rather than a list among the builds that is already built .

 

[Azulejo]

I think having a list of places in our server that are worth visiting is more interesting and fun rather than just canon locations (once we built them they could be added). Make it WesterosCraft Heritage. We have many amazing builds, terrain and landscapes that arent part of the book's lore but still worthy enough of the title.

 

[EStoop]

I think making it a Westeroscraft specific list would be more interesting, because there are many places that aren't exceptionally interesting from a lore point of view but have been very important to the server. Almost any named location in Westeros (and beyond) can be argued to have been important enough to be featured on the list, because many are named because they have been important to the story.

I'd like to nominate the following:

• The PVP arenas of Testeros, builds specifically for community events and good old fashioned minecraft PVP fun.
• /warp map3d, not sure about now but back when I was a guest it was the place to go to when exploring Westeroscraft and not knowing which place to visit.
• Headhall, a monument and archive to past and present builders.
• The glacier at Skagos, afaik the first accurate attempt at creating realistic glacial terrain.
• The Dreadpony, a legendary pony affiliated with the Dreadfort (both old and new).
• The Ring, which has been the location of spawn of the Westeros map for as long as I can remember.

I would like to nominate The Crag, as it was the build that defined our latest Westerlands style

 

[Elduwin]

Natural features:
- Torrentine valley
- Wickenden glacier
- the Greenblood
- Horseshoe hills
- the Red Lake and Silverwing's den
- the Rainwood
- Northern Donne green belt (or whatever we can call the long greener area of the Tor and Ghosthill)
- Reach Fertile Crescent

Build sites:
- Ghaston Grey
- Castamere
- High Hermitage
- the Pit

Intangible:
- I'd put Westerlands gold industry here
- Reach chivalry
- Saltpan & Uffering salt industry
- Wickenden wax industry
- Bolton flaying tradition

Also thought that ensemble could work, like:
- the Mander valley castles (aka Chateaux de la Loire): Ball, Highgarden, Holyhall, Goldengrove, Ciderhall, Ashford, Longtable, Bitterbridge, Rousemont (others could be added once done, like Dunstonburry and Oldflowers redo)

Also agree with the idea that it should be Westeroscraft stuff, to make people visit key locations of our server.
