Title: [SHOWOFF] [WIP] Zul'Arga
Post by: SirFranc on July 18, 2010, 10:55:37 pm
Hi to all! while i'm finishing Northeron (i need mostly to add the details and finish the isle) i decided in a moment of madness and boredom to start a little but interesting edit, i'll post some screenshots soon, before, as always, i'll bother you with some lore :D

For years the Kingdom of Stromgarde and the Forest Trolls fought hard in the Arathi Highlands, and as both the empires collapsed, the war itself finished....
...Until the Kingdom of Stromgarde has reborn, and now, the Trolls of the Witherback village have to play their Ace, and they broke the seals on the ruined temple city of Zul'Arga, nested in the mountains east of Arathi

The city is divided in three parts, mosty:

The Stair of Blood - is the entrance to the city, a huge, massive stair that climbs up all the mountain, up to the plateau, the entrance used to be fortified and become in the time a small city itself, but eventually, as the city was sealed (for causes still unknown) the city fell into ruin and disrepair
Now, as the trees have claimed the entrance, only few huts are proof of a troll presence.

The Grove of Purification - the forest between the entrance and the temple, this thick band of vegetation used to be cut in two by a majestic road, now almost completely destroyed by the weather and the age, about this forest the trolls whisper of dark beasts lurking in the darkness...

The Temple of the Clouds - the highest part of the city, was once a majestic monument to the Amani Empire, now is only a pile of crumbled stone, in the empty halls only the echo of some lost soul breaks the silence, many claims that behind this temple there is a secret passage to the Hinterlands

--NOTE: the concept are still being chosen, as it is for now, is a challenge for troll players to reclaim the land from the savage beasts and defend it while the New Lordaeron pushes away from the Highlands

Screen time :D

Oh yeah that looks so awsome Oo
Well there is just one thing that i discovered: you din't add one single detail doodad. The trees look a little lonely without bushes or mushrooms.
Add some of those and build some tree groups and the awsomeness would be doubled :D

Hell this looks like a lot of work. I like all the vegetation you added.
And esp. this view:
