Thank you for all the encouraging replies, the are very appreciated. Today we begin with the first update, it isn't a full one yet. I am a perfectionist and it takes a lot of time for me to finish something, nevertheless, I believe it should be interesting. History The Blessed Bay is an independant Duchy established during the medieval times in the heart of Europe. The Legend speaks of the first Duke, people of the Blessed Bay simply call him Father. During one of the countless wars that ravaged Europe, the Duke caught an arrow that was going to hit his Liege. Unfortunatly, he caught it with his face....this event was the cause of death to many bards, that dared to make fun of this heroic deed years later. Yet the Duke lived, the Liege, surprised and touched by such a great deed, granted the small Duchy independance and the Duke a new name. Since that day, he is known as Duke George the Fearless. Many thought it was only a matter of years before the Duchy dissappears in the wicked ways medieval reality. Yet the former Liege and all of his offspring guaranteed and protected the little Duchy in the heart of their Empire, in an endless respect to the long lost Duke. Thus we begin our journey in Berdorf, the old capital of Fortunatus Sinus. We shall see the centre of Berdorf and the heart of the entire Duchy - the Castle, that is overlooking the Windy Hills. On the First Photo we see the main Keep of the Castle, aswell as the stables that belong to the current Duke - Duke Michael the VI, named after the protecting saint of the Duchy - St. Michael. On the second picture we see the Cathedral that is dedicated to Saint Michael, it was the biggest house of worship in the Blessed Bay until the 19th Century. The following photo shows the small family church that was constructed during the lifetime of the first Duke. To the right, he large gothic tower is all that remains of a construction that was supposed to amaze the world. This is the belltower that belonged to the never finished Cathedral. The work was almost complete, when the entire main dome fell apart, burrying hundreds of people under it. The next picture shows the Guardhouse, that acted as a prison. The last Photo shows work in progress, the building in the centre is being restored, yet the work is far from finished. Hope you all like it, I am not a good story teller Once again, comments are welcome! See you soon
