[HOTW] The Lush Retreat - My take on Tora's Lush Hideout
Essentially I wanted to create a feeling of a refuge or retreat, while keeping the theme very nature related, so I chose Tora's Lush hideout base type, and proceeded to map out where I wanted everything to be, starting with the camp site where 4 of the 5 masters reside, Tora, Elreon, Vaga, and Leo reside in the camp I created, the theme of the camp bringing in elements to represent those 4 masters, I then began to map out my path to the map device, filling in space between the camp and where I wanted the device with trees and bushes, and a few pillars along the way, and something you will notice is along this path there is a small exile camped out in the corner with oriath cargo crates and barrels around him, I wanted to create a vibe or feel that made my lush hideout feel like it was a calm place where all were welcome and having that exile with his 'vendor' style camp in that corner just felt right to me, and after all that was done i then added in a pillar near the map device and placed my 5th master (Zana) there, I always like to keep her near my map device for some reason. I then went over the stone bridge and began planning out what I wanted there, what I decided on was a small exile camp surrounded by palisades, there is 3 male exiles 2 of which i would say are 'sons' or 'brothers' to the male and female couple I put in the camp, I personally didn't really think about this area in depth and haven't come up with a story for the hideout itself yet but I hope you all will enjoy it despite my poor video quality recording D:
