LCC-Loreos-LC3. A Deadly Ambush.

[Mark of Falworth]

Messengers came into the capitol stating the "Black Scourge" had returned to this part of Roawia. (Loreos) The Prince ordered the warships to search for the outlaw scum. After days without a single sighting, many on board believed the reports to be false, and they grew careless... Then on the fourth day, the fire-ship "Glorioso" spotted a few rebels on the shore, they decided to land and attack them, without signaling the other ships in the fleet. Suddenly, several Outlaw ships appeared out of nowhere. They were surrounded and cut off from the rest. Things were looking bad for the crew of the "Glorioso"...

Your trees are just incredible. I love the action too.

That arch is so beautifully formed, and you have really perfected that water. The pillars of rock out in the water are cool too. The only thing I'm not sold on is the brown roots coming out of a tree with a black trunk, I think it looks a tad out of place. However, that is just a nitpick, great job on this!

[Pedro Ivo]

It's a very impressive moc!
I love the arch, very natural! And the foliage, the highlight of the creation! Nice job Mark!

[Left4bricks]

it's a really good moc, the right area with the rock and the trees is just perfect. that's giving me somes ideas for my Dino mocs.

The stone arch is definitely what stood out to me. A very good idea and it really adds a lot of character to the scene. The ships are nice as well. I like the dragon heads on the bows of the outlaw vessels.

[LWC guy]

Great trees and foliage, the rocks are great too, as always.

Excellent landscaping as always. The ships look great!
Good work

Wow Mark, you are quickly becoming one of the best Castle builders around! Again, the water technique really bugs me (I again submit that it would be 10x better with smaller blue pieces) but I understand financial restraints. Brilliant work on the layout of the rocks.

[Knight Man]

Looks very cool.
The rocks and ships look excellent

Wonderful moc. The idea to use bricks to make water was smart. Can someone answer this question for me? What is this Loreos faction or kingdom?

Thanks everyone for the comments!

Can someone answer this question for me? What is this Loreos faction or kingdom?

Loreos is a faction in the Lands of Classic Castle (LCC).

Lands of Classic Castle is a MOC-based fantasy world called Roawia which is populated by the members of the Classic Castle forums. The world is broken up into four factions: Garheim in the arctic north, Lenfald in the forests of the northwest, Loreos in the central desert and grasslands, and the Outlaws who are scattered throughout the land, but are more concentrated in the southern mountains and swamps.

Each participant creates a character who will represent them in the game. This character can be anyone; a merchant, a power-hungry baron, or a simple farmer. Once you've decided on your in-game persona, you can build MOCs that help to tell his/her story. You can also build MOCs that will help increase your status in the kingdom as well as your faction's standing. This occurs through various contests and challenges,

You can learn more in the stories index.

This is a super cool scene

This is insanely good, I don't understand how I'm *still* not inspired for the ongoing challenge after seeing it.
