June 2008 Entry: Stormlit Cloister (Groam)

[ravells]

Not tough! This is exactly what I need to spot the oversights.

Here is the latest version in which I hope I have incorporated the C&Cs.

I'm not happy with the motto though....it looks too much like a badge or something.

### Latest WIP ###

[ravells]

Motto fixed and I've made the image a little smaller. I think this is the final entry now.

Thanks for all the help and encouragement, everyone.

### Winner ###

That's exactly what some of the churches did. Badges were given out to pilgrims so that they could prove they'd been on pilgrimage when they arrived home.

[ravells]

Fancy that! I had a look online and saw some 'pilgrimage' badges and the hand and key crest looks like it could pass for one (the real badges are quite heraldic). Thanks Valarian, I had no idea about this little detail of history.

[Karro]

This map = win.

Also... I love the background story. Is that your contribution or was it something that came with the description of the area?

[ravells]

Thanks Karro! There are some magnificent maps in this month's challenge - Fort Lost is a really good entry and there are others which are still being done which I think will be real winners when they are completed. The real winner will be the CBWP which will have a whole set of new maps, which is what I really like about this month's challenge - every map will have a use.

I made up the background story loosely based on what Torq had written about Groam - glad you liked it!

Yeah, I saw Fort Lost, too, and it's also great. I think the story really gives a sense of urgency to this place, that sense that we're on the edge of something important and dangerous...

You added a dovecote.

[rlucci wipes a tear from the corner of his eye]

I love dovecotes.
