Over the past month or so, an awful lot has happened on Aldburg. We’ve reworked the central Inn a little, as well as had a think (and re-think!) about the main fortress structure. @LimeeFox built a wonderful castle which me and @the_pharaohs_cat are working to meld into the Numenorean style. A lot of progress has been made on the new farm down by the floodplain, and I’d like to especially mention @raarmaarwaar and @MarcelAlKenany in this, as their work has been invaluable.
We’ve also made good progress in decorating the back yards of some of the motte buildings, and are about 1/3 of the way through on this. However, a fair few of them will have to wait until the main fortress is done.

I have made huge progress since the last report. The new Grimslade terrain was finished at the start of this month, which has allowed the project to go into the final stage of building. I have also advanced my techniques in World Painter, and each completed section means that I know more and can finish the next one faster. More on Grimslade below!

Grimslade has been unpaused and I have created it as a project within the EpicJobs plugin. There are a few jobs available on here, and @Savitar has already made a good start on some of them. The map is mainly done as you will remember, but we are just working on the agricultural terrain and infrastructure to the north of the city, next to the mountains. This should be done in the coming week or so, and I expect the map will be done before the new year. We can wait for @LimeeFox to make a cinematic, then I’d expect release some time in January or February at the latest.

(But EpicQuestz now has a GitHub account and EpicSuite has a wiki!)
This edition’s featured creation is from @Gelek’s long standing personal project, the Iron Hills. He’s worked on some cavernous halls, fit with a winding pathway (helped by myself). Feast your eyes on this dwarven creation!
That brings us to the end of another newsletter, folks. The year seems to be coming to a close, and this will be the last newsletter of the year. As such, on behalf of the staff team, I’d like to thank all members for the hard work you’ve put in this year. It’s certainly been a strange one, but life goes on, and I can’t wait to see what the next one brings.
BI-WEEKLY QUIZ:
As the year draws to its end, I’d like to present a more open question. After another 365 days of EpicQuestz, what has been your favourite? What have you enjoyed? What have you built that you’re proud of? This is a much more subjective question, answer however you please.
