Alun - The Capitol of balance

[Eldrylars]

A new land emerges from the depths, a new realm reminiscent of the past. The once great castle looms in the distance, a beacon of hope for the fragmented people of the land.

Sistered to this great bastion of hope, Alun stands tall, her dual townships of Serenity and Entropia encircling the mighty tower of Alun itself as it maintains the delicate balance between Chaos and Order in our world.

Alun stands tall, bringing harmony to a fragmented world.

The driving goals of the capitol Alun is to bring prosperity and balance to the world while serving the gods and their peoples. Through our will and drive the balance of power will be maintained and our people will thrive.

Our proud citizens will be working in this world to bring about an evolution in those around them, through tongue, sword and gold we will bring about wonder!

Recruitment
Alun is not recruiting new members at this time.
People of this land, please seek solace in the care of the many cities that will reside in here, and may your journey be wondrous!

Township News

Alun has grown to almost its full size and the construction has screamed through at an amazing speed. Please see below for the remaining jobs!


After successfully building the first township on Citadel, Alun has prospered and grown.
Our tower or Chaos and Order has begun to grow and the path of balance has been opening!
as our warriors of both good and evil has excelled, we have grown stronger and stronger, and although some of our members have taken a side journey, we are all still brothers of sisters of the Aetherius Dominion and we all continue to grow and experience together!

Our second township has also begun it's journey and it's growth is assured to be one of great beauty!

Township Construction

We will break the township down into several areas, please contact Eldry, Witchy or the project lead with any questions!

Quick Check:​

Construction leads:

• Outer Pit Haxnn, Has400, Joshtsai

Still Under Construction:

• Outer pit - Walls/Floor cleanup.
• Everyone can move into a housing plot.

Current Tasks and building projects
Please contact project lead if there is one or make mention of desire to take a project on in you want one.​

Arena

Spoiler: Arena

Currently lead by: None
The arena is still in an early conceptual phase, and it needs some good mines, good builders and good help with gatherers for resources.

The entire arena area is currently marked at 100x80 with the actual fighting pits at 60x40
Lots of things to consider here, would love to hear from all those that are interested with your ideas.

Embassy

Spoiler: Embassy

Currently lead by: None

Thanks again Haxnn for your donation to buy our embassy!
The idea is a mini Alun. 4 Floors 7 high (1floor 5air 1ceiling)
Bottom two floors Chaos and top two Order.
Making the tower circular and leaving at least one(preferably two) block free at the edges of the region to allow people to see the whole mini tower.
More idea welcome!

Statues

Spoiler: Statues

Currently lead by: Zeph
Zeph is building the statue bases at this time, and eventually we will build statues of each member in various areas of interest(Arena, Gate, Road...)
The township skins still need to be figured out, but currently the idea is to use a town skin for the body and each players head to top it off.
Here are some examples of what I was seeing as a possible skins, which I would edit to better fit,
View attachment 10793

Something for Order and Chaos...

Also, to personalize it more, we can give each statue a weapon or tool to match that players most frequent tool so it would look something like:

Barracks

Spoiler: Barracks

Currently lead by: Storm
We need to come up with a design for the Barracks. A small mansion perhaps? Up to the inspired minds who take it on.

Dungeon Outpost

Spoiler: Dungeon Outpost

Currently lead by: None
This is probably not needed anymore since I am guessing this dungeon will be moot next Friday, but it's an option if you want to design/use a custom regioned house at the old dungeon.

Outer pit cleanup

Spoiler: Outer pit Cleanup

Haxnn cleaned up the inner walls, but we still have the ground and the outer walls to do.

This is already half dug out. We just need to finish the upper half to clean it up.
