Saint's Rock - Patrons' Edition
🕑 Added 2019-11-01 10:48:21 +0000 UTCThis is the Rock of Cashel, the inspiration for Saint's Rock. Before it was a cathedral, it was the castle of Brian Boru, High King of Ireland. Fun fact: Brian Boru is the reason there's a harp on your Guinness can. He's also the reason that there are pictures of harps all over everything in Ireland despite the fact that no one plays it or has any interest whatsoever in harps or harp music.
Anyway, Brian Boru's great-grandson gave the castle to the church, who rebuilt it into a cathedral. While the castle was dismantled, the gates and curtain wall were left in place, which, combined with the Rock's location on a steep hilltop, made it a very well-protected church.
There are a few differences between Saint's Rock and the Rock of Cashel, the biggest of which was the removal of a secondary chapel building and the addition of the cloisters. The passages through the walls are actually real. This photo shows what the second floor passages look like from the ground (you can see them at the bottom of the windows).
So, with this done, Brazenthrone's Noble Quarter is next. It's the second-largest chamber of Brazenthrone and it's going to take a minute. I'll get you some work-in-progress photos along the way. Sound good? All right.

Looks amazing! Far beyond what I imagined.

Great again Matt! The concept of using RL/historical sites, establishments and architectural wonders as platforms for inspiration is one of the things that make your maps so much better than the generic default fantasy bs out there. Thanks and keep up the good work!
