Description

"And so it came to pass, one crystal clear Summer's dawn, that I (then a handsome young blade) stood on the Castle Ward, below the Chapel of Prynne.
Sa'aila, the Warrior Champion of the previous eve's tournament, an athletic and fearless warrior from the Northern lands, knelt and faced the West in the old manner, and swore her allegiance to our Quest, pledging her fealty to me, the Count, Keeper of The Castle, and benefactor of our strange island.
The Lady Liana watched Sa'aila jealously from the entrance of Prynne's Chapel.
Even then, in her younger days, the Princess suffered from fits of pique and had to be restrained in her quarters.
For I, Count Tyrannus, was not to be brooked in my quest to crush the armies of the Baron of The West, and I needed all the warriors I could muster, to have in hand in the days and weeks to come.
For even as I stood on the Castle Ward that day, the Baron of The West was already gathering his armies on the Long Beach of Grouveille."
(Excerpt from the Chronicles of Count Tryannus, Lord of Castle Tyrannus, as related to his faithful servant Seaglemus.)
NOTE: (Photos of The Castle/s are my own. For purists and those who are interested, I have used a picture of the Hermitage Chapel at Elizabeth Castle here in Jersey for this episode, and 'relocated' it to Gorey Castle, renaming it 'Prynnes' Chapel. It sits where Prynnes Tower now sits.)
All comments welcome! Thanks for looking!

Super imagery, Dave. One of your recent best, IMO. Especially like the crisp rocky surfaces of the re-worked photo imagery and terrains. One would not know because it all blends so well. No 'purist' here!! LOL I've seen a few on R'osity... however, when you preview their gallery, all that's there are bits and pieces which never seem to get together to produce a render.
