LCC - Garheim Official Faction Thread *We've Moved!*

[AK_Brickster]

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!

[AK_Brickster]

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....

[Ronin Dragonslayer]

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!

[AK_Brickster]

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!

[Ronin Dragonslayer]

Another free build, though not for points.

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.

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)

Fellow residents of Garheim

For the many builders that have already signed up for GC4 - Thank you!
AK and I are looking forward to many wonderful builds that you will surely produce.

If you have not yet had a chance to sign-up I would like to encourage you to do so. We are all busy, but I would hope that you would be able to carve out some time to share your creative talents - and help our great faction to maintain our points lead!

Courage, Honor, Loyalty! For Garheim!

Thunder rumbled through the sky as Lord Duncan made his way to Arthos the Tanner's lodging. He reached the door and knocked three times. Arthos opened it, "Lord Duncan, to what do I owe this honour?"he said. "The rumblings of war..." Duncan replied, as another peal of thunder shook the sky "...I think it best we talk inside."

Arthos and Lord Duncan sat by candlelight around the family table inside the tanner's humble abode. Duncan began "The King is dead. Loreesi and Lenfald point the blame and talk of conspiracies and war and the Jarl wants answers before Garheim is dragged in as well".
"And how might this involve a simple tanner?" Arthos interrupted "I am too old for wars".

"Lord Duncan raised his eyes to meet the Tanner's, "I was hoping you might still have contacts in the south that might be, shall we say... useful?". Arthos looked sternly at the Lord "Contacts that I wanted to leave behind my Lord". Duncan stared back "We took you in Arthos, during a storm much like tonight's. A loreesi 'merchant' so far from home, no questions asked. You married one of our own, you became an important part of our village. But you will always be a loreesi". "And for your hospitality I am grateful" Arturo replied "but that was almost 20 summers ago. And any 'contacts' I had are likely dead, or still want ME dead. I cannot go back. I will not!".

"Then we send the boy" Duncan suggested. "Esau?" Arthos replied "He has already been enlisted to your militia, and besides, people would recognise him as my son before he opened his mouth". "Then send the other" said Duncan. "Jaykob? He's a dreamer!" retorted Arthos, "He fought in our conquest of the Magic Isles*. And survived..." replied Duncan "He will do. We have forged a treaty with Lenfald, he should be granted safe passage until their southern border. We need only a messenger, not a warrior".

Arthos shook his head "If anything happened to him, it would break his mother's heart." Duncan stood up preparing to leave "Then may the Jarl smile upon his journey..."

Just a little prelude to my GC4 entry.

edit: And I should have said this is a freebuild for April in regards to points

LCC - Leaving Garheim (Heroes Guild A1) by andhe , on Flickr

"Take this food, it should be about 2 days travel to your Aunt's house. And this map, it will guide you all the way to Loreos." Arthos passed Jaykob the map and the food. After Lord Duncan's visit late the previous night requesting the tanner's help*, Arthos had woke his son early in the morning. It was not yet dawn.

"Hold that horse still boy!" Arthos whispered sternly. Jaykob's cousin, Happy, would travel with him to Lenfald. If they were stopped hopefully Happy would convince them that they were two lenfel citizens heading for the safety of home.

"The difficulty will be crossing the borders" Arthos continued "keep off the main tracks, and away from trouble". The tanner realised the irony of his last statement, for with the nations of Roawia heading to war, trouble is exactly what he was sending his son into.

Jaykob and his cousin left the confines of the village as the sun began to rise. "Well Happy, what an adventure!" said Jaykob, rather ignorant of the dangers that lay ahead "How nice it will be to see Aunt Hilda as well!". Happy looked back at his cousin "When's breakfast?"
