Background Lore
Aldburg means "Old Fortress", so what would it be without a proper fortress?

It is VITAL to note that this keep complex is one of the EARLIEST settlements in the Riddermark. Therefore the design should reflect such in stature and appearance. This is NOT the Golden Hall of Edoras, this is its predecessor.

The keep itself would likely be composed of multiple individual structures within close proximity to one another. Given the age of the settlement, it would like be built out of primarily stone with some wood supports. Just remember, this is a fortress/castle and not just a hall.

Key Elements

The following is a suggested list of components to be included in a complete keep design. Please note that these are suggested but not necessarily required of you if you choose to omit one or more.

The current wool layout should give a sense of what is expected, however this is simply a rough outline for your personal inspiration.

• Great Hall
  • Long Feast Hall
    • Include Central Hearth
    • Royal Seat at End

If only I had the time...

Thats why you should form a team!

Alone this is too much work probably - but as part of a team this project is totally doable in 4 weeks!

Remember Guys:

This is a castle keep (not just a hall like Meduseld)

@Credoo is looking for a building buddy, I would do it myself but that just sounds like cheating

 

[Credoo]

I think I am going to cap the contest off at 10 Teams for the following reason:

One of the main concerns is that with contests, people stop participating in jobs/projects on the server. Therefore I believe capping the teams is a reasonable solution in order to encourage people to build for all of the other lovely projects.

If you realllllyyyy want to participate*, ask a current team to join after you find one that fits your style!
*I would be willing to accept one more team, not individual, at most if they message me personally on the forums with their keep plans and argue their case well
