Sept / Oct Craftwar - Temple of Five Points

Once the Spine runs red into Golden Plains

And The Twilight of  the Years of Night has come

Death Becomes Life as Deserts of Shadows Rise

And The Three Converge as one

Until Heroes face the Five

and the Voice of the Heralds gone.

The Companions finally after retrieving all the Scrolls of the First arrive deep below Taur' Tol's Forests to the Temple of Five Points were the Ritual can be preformed and finally the Prophecy can come to fold. The Heroes Face the Five and Deliver the Kingdoms from the Shadows that fall.

(The Dungeon is Rock Platforms over caverns of unknown Depths)

After the Ritual Portals will one by one appear on the Platforms to the Sides, a Magical bridge will also appear between the main Platform and the Smaller ones.

 

 

 Each portal will lead the Companions to Four Small Dungeons were they will Have to Defeat a Ancient Demon. Once that is Done they will be Drawn to Climb out onto the Rock Outcrop. Were the Dracolich lord behind the Darkness will Emerge from the Depths Below.

Gauntlegrym Diorama - Auguast 2014 Craftwar

Gauntlegrym Diorama

Silver halls and mithral doors
Stone walls to seal the cavern
grander sights than e'ere before
In smithy, mine, and tavern
Toil hard in endless night
In toast, oh, lift your flagon!
Ye'll need the drink to keep you right
At the forge that bakes the dragon.
Come Delzoun, come one and all
Rush to grab yer kin
And tell 'em that their home awaits
In grandest Gauntlgrym!

Below is the Artwork i based my Craftwar Diorama on

 

 THE BUILD

The Materials

1- Thick Cardboard

2- Thin Card stock

3- Hot Gue

4- White Glue

5- Toilet Paper

6- Bamboo Skewers

7- Thin Wire

8- Small Foam Bean Bag Balls

9- Aluminum Foil

10- Sand

11- Acrylic Paints

The Base board was constructed out of 4 layers of Thick Cardboard, i wanted a heavy layer of Toilet paper for texture so i inserted Bamboo Skewers into the Corrugation of the cardboard and made sure i rotated the way they ran to eliminate any Bowing from the white glue. The board was edged with thin Card stock to hide the Corrugation. 

  

The Doors and Arch were constructed from 6 layers of Thick Card board then the Design was built up with many layers of Card Stock for varying depths. The Edges were covered in Card Stock. The Lower Levels were covered in White glue with sand Sprinkled.

 The Mushrooms Are made from Small foam Bean Bag Balls Cut in Half and Glued to pieces of Thin Wire. The Stalagmites were formed from Aluminum Foil the Covered in Toilet Paper.

    

 The Walls were made with Cardboard covered in Aluminum Foil then Toilet Paper,i Used Dirty Painting Water with my White Glue to stick the Toilet Paper down, this was done by accident but looked great, i splashed some other Earthy Colors on watered down and bang didn't have to paint them.
