Obsidian Spike

Post by ZCerberus »

Revolword’s defeat should have marked a day of great joy in Nocturnus, the realm hit hardest by Revolword’s elemental monsters, but Revolword’s defeat has since become known as the Day of the Black Victory. A new alliance calling themselves the “Black Spire” with membership consisting Varlyrian rebels, Hand of Corruption Soldiers and Drow loyalist have captured over half of Nocturnus and erected a stronghold in the heart of the darklands. Bursting up from the ground, seemingly overnight, the fortress has been named the Obsidian Spike. The Spike taunts Nocturnus’s lords; it is not just a sign of the changing times in Historica, but a symbol of the new power unleashed in Nocturnus.

This build was not my traditional style, and as cliché as a big black tower is, I wanted to give it a try since I thought it would look sinister and give me a chance to try to push my photography skills on something as knowingly challenging as black brick.

There are some detail photos you can check out be clicking through the flickr set below

The ability to photograph this (and photograph well) is what is most impressive to me. This is fantastic ZCerberus. Everything about this build is awesome.
