CCCIX Misc Entry - San Kastel

[shmails]

This is an entry into the Misc. Category in the CCCIX and is the first part of a story I hope to continue throughout the contest.

THE MEETING AT SAN KASTEL







San Kastel, or the Oasis Keep, was built around an existing oasis and was meant as a rest stop on the way to and from the Crusades. Now it is used as the Crown Kings' retreat.

On this occasion, the King has summoned his most loyal Lords to discuss the intrusion of two new factions into their territory. With all of the focus taken up by the Vikings, Orcs, Bear Claw Clan, and other barbarians, the King has allowed these new factions to gain a foothold in the land that he once ruled supreme.

A radical new idea is proposed while jesting by the pool that may change everything!

Very nicely built Castle! I really like how much detail you put into a rather small building. I look forward to seeing more entries from you.

Firstly, nice pun . Secondly, this is amazingly detailed for something it's size. It does a good job of conveying the feeling of abstract decadence. I love the windows, though I'm not quite sold on the rooftop garden. I look forward to the rest of the story, and good luck in the contest.

Thanks everyone! The rooftop garden is the oasis that they removed from the ground level when they made the keep. This keep is deep into the desert, and it is a little too hot inside on a day to day basis.

I like the recessed doors and windows and done nicely without arches. Nice contrast. The windows are different as well. Good job!

Seriously, is anyone besides me going to build vignettes for this category?

Your castle is beautyfull, and I love the idea about Oasis. Nice job.

I've enjoyed your Bear Claw Clan theme in the past and I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with this next. I think my favorite part is the fountain with the water streaming out of the castle and the bubbles. Good luck in the contest!

It is called the Colossal Castle Contest! Thanks!

Don't worry nanuck, the story is heavily based around the Bear Claw Clan, the next entry should give more info. Thanks!
