Project Application:
https://forum.westeroscraft.com/threads/house-lightfoot-walrus.3750/
Build Status: Completed
Start Date: Oct 31, 2023
Completion Date: Sep 21, 2025
Description
House Lightfoot is a noble house from the North and server canon places them in the Barrowlands. Their lands are north-east of Barrowton and border the Kings Road. My own headcanon has them as a vassal of House Dustin of Barrowton, rather than a direct vassal of the Starks of Winterfell.
Features
The vocal point of the project is the Lightfoot Keep, with a small village sitting at the base of the hill it stands on. In the highlands there a small crofters settlements as well as a couple smaller settlements focused on herding and livestock raising. There is also a very small lumber industry, taking advantage of the woods north of the keep.
Construction
As my first project, Wurst and Aeks played a large part in the construction process. Aeks was incredibly helpful in the planning of the village, roads and plot layouts while Wurst planned out much of the upper bailey of the keep.
This project did take longer than I expected, in early 2025 I redid almost every plot in the village myself. I was very regrettably doing the fields by hand, until I finally figured out the WorldEdit techniques. I eventually completed the project with plotting out the crofts in the highlands, the last to be completed being a small lakeside homestead in the north-west corner of the project.
Inspiration
I didn't have one single inspiration for the castle, rather taking inspiration from a variety of Scottish and Irish tower keeps. However the crofts dotting throughout the project were a directly taken from the highland settlements of medieval Scotland.
