Lovade när jag presenterade mitt bidrag till "Slutet"-tävlingen att jag skulle vid ett senare tillfälle presentera historien den tillhörde. I vanligt Teabox tempo så har jag först nu fått ihop presentationen :)

Men först vill jag visa bygget igen så ni vet vilket jag snackar om.

Och sen vill jag även visa två animationer som visar design processen.

Den första är från innan jag bestämde mig för att anmäla bygget till tävlingen och anpassa det till storleksregeln. Och den andra visar anpassningen till tävlingen :)





Jag har kunna göra animationerna tack vare att jag designat bygget i LDD först och under processens gång arkiverat kopior på filen jag jobbat med. Sen jag har renderat utvalda versioner och slagit ihop bilderna till animerade gifs.

Och så storyn:


An office by Teabox, on Flickr

Our main character in the first chapter is the young lord, Mariuel. Ruler of Aeldor, a weak and poor country that's still recovering from the War of Magic. He dreams of the old days when his great grandfather wielded a magic axe and slayed all their enemies with ease. An axe that is still magically bound to the great grandfathers corpse in his ancestors crypt

With these dreams, he couldn't believe his luck, when one morning an old wizard approached him. The wizard knew about the axe and offered to break the bond to its old owner's hand. For only a small amount of money in exchange, the young lord would be able to wield the same power his great grandfather did. An offer the naive young lord eagerly accepted without any questions.

That following night, the young lord leads the wizard down to the tomb of his ancestors. Once inside, the wizard preforms a ritual and the great axe was released from its old owner's grip.

Now with the axe in hand, an eager and confident lord gathered his soldiers and headed out to raid an old enemy's land.

But the raid failed catastrophically. There was no magic in the axe and the lord got captured and humiliated. Together with his soldiers he got paraded through the town of his victorious rival. The axe now captured spoils in the hands of the rival king.

And then bad goes to worse for the the young lord. While being held captive, he mysteriously dies.</p>


The young lord&#x27;s sad return. by Teabox, on Flickr

Honoring the lord's title, his capturer choose to sends the lord's body home for a proper burial. The whole kingdom mourned his death. Left of the family is now only his sister. The one who now will need to take over the lordship of the land.


So what happened to the magic stored in the axe? What intentions did the old Wizard really have? Those are questions that will be answered in the next chapter.
