Capernum Northern GateApril 2014 second free-buildThe city of Capernum is located on the important trade route between Dalmanutha and Meio Da Aldeia, and therefore also towards the north of Roawia. This is the main northern gate out of the city, which is a busy way for trade in and out of the city. It is an ancient structure, far older than most of the buildings inside the city. The walls are partially as old as the gate and partially of more recent origin, either built on top of the mighty old walls or following new lines. The stretch of wall closest to the gatehouse was moved back somewhat when rebuilt to allow for a better flanking angle from the top of the gatehouse. Originally built for GoH as Sultan's Gate, but I made a couple of re-shoots with proper Loreesi colors as I thought it would be a shame to dismantle it without making it part of the Roawian lore as well The flickr links are however to the original pictures, to avoid diluting my public photostream with re-shoots of the same build. I hope I havn't crossed some unwritten rule by building in someone's home city without permission?

The architecture, the colors, it's all fantastic and nothing short of beautiful!

That is really cool. The tan-and-nougat color scheme really gives the feel of stone from an arid climate, and the dome gives it a not-from-your-average-castle-locale kind of vibe.

Nice! Capernum is Mark of Falwoth's home city. (Not really my city, just one that I often build for) I'm thrilled this great moc is a part of it now!

Thanks guys! Nice! Capernum is Mark of Falwoth's home city. (Not really my city, just one that I often build for) I'm thrilled this great moc is a part of it now! I obviously have a lot to learn about the Roawian lore. I just picked a city on the map which looked like it could be in the right kind of setting
