The great wall of Batuhan protects the village from the evils of the Wither Woods.

I have been working on this medieval LEGO creation for several years and plan to expand it in the future. I’ve enjoyed focusing on the landscaping aspect of this build as well as many little details.

I hope you enjoy viewing the pictures and descriptions below. I first present an overview followed by each part generally going from east to west.

I really love all the details in this! The water is really majestical, as well as all the different coloured trees. That peasant could do with happy face too. I also think the road near the gate looks like there's a little bit too many colours there.
The cliff in here's very good, and I like all the climbing plants going up the wall! I also love the old ruins and I may have to put that into use.
The wall is also nice, a bit of dark tan plates in the wall would make it look better though! I like how you made the embracers! Some builders just have a plain wall and no detailing!
I also like the plant usage throughout the moc, you've done a very good job on this!

I think the map is a bit strange (compared to a IRL design, but nice in Lego).
The Eastern Gate that directly faces the forest, and the path along the wall, making a detour to the tower to take the bridge...
Unless it is a hidden door (but decorated with flags).

My opinion is quite conventional.
In front of a door, especially if the path is not frontal, there should be a wide space. It would be used for maneuvering, or for cattle and carts to pull to the side when the door is closed or crowded.
Anyway, I fully agree with this design choice. But to me it implies that this door plays a very special role in this fortification. Or maybe it's just a convenience for the villagers.

In any case, it is really impressive. And I'm sure that in this forest there must be lots of rabbits!
