Description

My entry for epilogues "secret places" contest.

"Just imagine yourself walking down the pathway, exploring the ancient architecture, the surrounding forests. And as you stare out over the great river, you gaze upon a colony of drifters, a nomadic civilization, moored and settling in for the night."

Well certainly the least troublesome piece for me so far :nod:. I tried all sorts of narratives for this, involving people, miniature steam boats floating down stream. But alas, anything added only subtracted from what i have here. Thus leaving the landscape to sing for itself :P. heh..It's not perfect, but i am happy.

Crits welcomed

About 14 hours work. Photoshop 7

Thanks every one

UPDATE oopps forgot to mention that the city, is small. It's a miniature civilization. There is an archway on the island that is an exact sized version of the one onland framing the tree. Just a little hint XD.

"We are doing alright. The wards held this summer, and the Citadel is energized. The weatherseers are predicting a cold winter, and if a hard freeze comes, the river will not separate us from the Plague Lands. I would rather not try to describe what the Rangers have seen living there now, it would only worry you. We will do our best, but I am glad I sent my sister to you. No matter what happens, keep her safe, and do not come here. Pray for us."
