Global Challenge IX - The Recovery
Story:
With Maldrake dead and the Queen still suffering from being poisoned by the traitorous wizard, the allied armies of Lenfald, Loreos and Garheim finally seem to be poised to return their lands to peace and prosperity once more. Unfortunately, the losses from the assault on Maldrake's fortress were tremendous, and the remaining troops have neither the numbers nor the morale to attempt yet another crusade to the royal isle to finish off the Queen's forces. She would have to wait, for now.
For the next few months, it is important for the men of Roawia to return to their homes and begin to rebuild their lives and their villages. In the meantime, Chartres and the leaders of Roawia will begin to strategize the final push to remove the Queen from her seat of power once and for all.
Challenge:
Build a scene showing life returning "back to normal" for the residents of Roawia.
Size categories will be the standard Vignette, Restricted, and Unrestricted, as in previous Global Challenges.
Vig: 8x8 max, very minimal overhang allowed
Restricted: 20x20 minimum to 32x32 maximum, minimal overhang allowed
Unrestricted: 48x48 OR 32x64 minimum size, no limit to overhang (32x64 is allowed this time to match up with the CCC rules)
