Galdor_Mithr Posted October 29, 2025 Report Posted October 29, 2025 i was doing a think and people seamed to like the Saxon house... so i thought some more... so im here to jot down some thoughts and try and commit my self to some positive action. Its not really historically accurate but its inspired by the form and function of pit houses (sleeping, warmth and cooking) that i extended as i needed, added a chimney for looks and to keep the fire out of the way and a narrow covered entrance to thwart bear attacks this is also to stop the snow from blocking me in or out of the house (see other post in off topic). But now id like a tower so i can have something to do wile there's a temporal storm (ie shoot at things) how ever towers are not a Saxon house thing and I'm not ready for a mid to late medieval fortified manor yet. this is a repro of a royal Saxon dwelling. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmikecarden.co.uk%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F08%2FAnglo-Saxon-longhall-768x433.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=ecdccd86a5a510437d23cd22e8ea7a34122814586055caab76b961513c82444e that thing at the top is a chimney not a tower (really? no way sherlock) but the shingle and windows are nice (note small windows and i could even make the carving at the end how ever there's no tower... but churches did/do have towers... https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2F736x%2Fe0%2Fb4%2Fa7%2Fe0b4a7372a3b2261f419c2fc20dc4931--round-tower-ancient-buildings.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=fb13bc2e888cee56af38d44614903d52969f67e443d34d2a3bf371e540570bef this is a grand little church and with its stucco walls and cobble'ie bits is a inviting concept that also has A TOWER! Saxon and early medieval churches were not what they are now they were places of refuge for the poor and homeless and also a refuge from attack, so it makes sense that i shelter from the temporal nightmare by locking my self in a similar structure. there's a rudimentary rampart and windows to shoot from but it is religious in nature so who shall i dedicate this structure to? Why Dave of course! iv already got one little fantasy religious spot witch i will do a post on soon (when the statue of Dave looks less like spiro and more like the thunderlord). i need some thoughts tho idk how this building should be altered to fit with the setting? i like the quiet solo rp potential this game has when it comes to setting and how that drives the players purpose I'm thinking a windmill to take advantage of the tall structure I'm building or some kind of scientific instrument the glows perched atop the tower itself but if i were going to borrow from Saxon culture maybe a inspired mosaic of Dave on the floor? Keep the dragon theme? maybe hording temporal gears and Jonas parts there and make a bit thing of it with display cases and all that? any ideas you have are greatly appreciated i will be hashing things out in creative Glory to the power of Dave...
