Dear Garhims,

I am writing this letter to protest against the consideration of naming your currency "silver wolves". This is rather insulting for many reasons:
- being a werewolf I am not fond of silver, please make it gold, rocks or something else.
- additionally, I am a decent member of the merchants guild and I don't wanna get paid with a currency which is mocking my origin.

Thank you for your understanding!

Sincerely yours
Wolfgang von Wolfpack

Yeah... since werewolves don't like silver having a coin called "silver wolves" doesn't sound so cool anymore. How about a snow crown or maybe ice dodder?

P. S. Congratz to the winners! Everyone's entries were very nice

Hmm, yeah good point. I didn't think about those being oppressed We could use a rarer metal or gem for currency, such as malachite or platinum, and "toke" or "jecht" sounded okay, though I'm still favorable to the shortened "wolvs". Just some suggestions.

On a different topic, here is my answer to the war animal theme going on lately - The Battle Ibex!

Yay! I won something! Who needs the CCC?! Kidding kidding! Now I've got enough points I may start up a story.

After reading round a few of the threads let me offer my opinion on things if I may.

Storyline should always be fueled by building.
I.e If you want to introduce a character, monetary system, religion etc as part of your storyline then great. But is it represented by and part of a MOC? I've seen similar groups get bogged down in trying to define every part of their 'world' rather than building and enjoying building. After all, it's about the Lego.

As mentioned in Thomas Arrowford's post, the LCC exists in a medieval/feudal type world. So laws/systems that apply in one area, wouldn't necessarily apply elsewhere. This again comes down to you being given the creative freedom to build and continue your own storyline within the world of LCC. If you see something you like in someone elses story then (with permission) use it in your own, to 'build the world'. Equally if I see something that I'm not keen on, then I am equally entitled to ignore it (except for Kings Council plot points I guess).

Hey all, first free build of the month

OK guys, listen up!

There is a bit of a bidding war going on for a new recruit who goes by the Flickr handle "minivan1411". Whichever of the four faction characters he's come up with gets the most support is the faction that he will join for the LCC.

Please show him a hearty northern welcome by commenting (on Flickr) and faving his Garheim character, which is depicted below:



(Don't worry, he's going to change his name so that we don't have two "Eklunds")

COURAGE, HONOR, LOYALTY! FOR GARHEIM!

Okay everyone.....

GC4 is now posted!

Please go check it out, as it involves a few interesting twists that I think you'll really enjoy!

LINK: GC4 - And so it begins....

An awesome challenge! And just when I thought I had some free time to join one of the guilds Garheim will weather any storm the south can conjure!

Everyone who has sent me a PM to sign up for GC4 should have their assignment by now. If not, let me know.

It looks like Loreos is killing us in initial sign ups, so let's get some more participation going!

Another free build, though not for points.

Keep it cool

I've commented in our Flickr thread regarding the current GC and how we might proceed as a faction.

Listen, listen, brave citizens of Garheim!

I come as unofficial representative of the Province of Lenfald to inform you of a recently revealed hideous Loreesi ploy. In short terms, the southernes have presented a youth of eleven years whom they claim to be the rightful heir to the late High Lord Wenseclaus of Lenfald. This boy, they wish to force upon the Lenfel throne through military power, and the Prince of Loreos has already announced a full-scale invasion of Lenfald. I bring you these news as another fact to consider during the current negotiations of a defensive treaty between our Provinces. That would be because the recent events stand as clear proof of Loreesi greed and imperialistic beliefs that will eventually reach your northerly homelands as well if they are left unchecked.
Sincerely, Lord Lokiten Myrikhim of Lenfald.

Hear Ye Hear Ye!

I forgot to link it here earlier, but here is my free build for April:

Please review for accuracy and completeness.
(Brother Steven, you forgot to put links to your "Walrus Hunt" and "Planning is Needed!" MOCs here for points, but I credited them to you as FBs anyway)
