HAIL! Anyone ready for a challenge where your creativity comes pretty much into play? I figured out this kind of idea that I present here a lyrics from one song, translated to english, and based upon them one should create how they see a city of Gods? There are certainly as many ways to see this place thourgh these lyrics as there are readers, and that's what inspires me most. It would be nice to see how much my own vision varies from some others'. If anyone's ready for this different kind of challenge, let it be heard. Oh and I only figured out one rule: NO CUSTOM MODELS. Of course everyone could get all the customs to their hands, but I think it shows more creativity when you can't have everything ready, but have to really figure things out differently. So, to the lyrics then, this should be your one and only guideline (with your imagination, of course.) --- CITY OF THE GODS For a thousand years we have wandered, seeking for our forsaken people, and lo! before us is the path to the city of the gods. At the bottom of that valley surrounded by heavenly towers. There cross two brisk rivers carrying long gone time. Here the company will stop, resting in the warmth of rain. Somewhere far, far away sounds a bronzen horn - hearken! Path leads to a valley, waters running downwards. To eternity our time shall lead us, to the golden house of the gods. At the flash of lightning the dreary mountains unveil. Water pounds the green vault, nourishing the woodland folk. A thousand years may have passed from the moment we left our home. At last have we returned to the city of the eternal. Path leads to a valley, waters running downwards. To eternity our time shall lead us, to the golden house of the gods. Our forefathers, they feast around a wooden table. In the fragments of a broken spell they dance with blooded feet. The open, forsaken lake is sleeping in forever. The frail unrippled breaks only at the touch of man. A thousand years for a brother to betray brother. And the beauty of the city of the gods will vanish before our eyes. (Moonsorrow/Ville Sorvali - Jumalten Kaupunki/City of Gods) EDIT: For some visual/audio inspiration visit Moonsorrow 's homepage. This concers old pagan gods which suite perfectly fantasy set-up. |

Oooo.. Rather inspiring poem/song there. I'd join in if I wasn't in Beam's Super Challenge already. |

Hmm.. Not too many interested people.. Maybe I'll just fix my version of this into a single player map or something. |

Great, I'll try to get mine done before the end of the year. On christ-smash holidays I'll be busy with everything else. |

Guest | I am having a go at it, but it is kind of difficult. This was a good idea though, too bad it didn't take off. |
