Greymane’s Haven 📜✍️

⚒️ The Ancient Forge ⚒️ March 12 - 26 🔨 The Dwarven Blacksmith A blacksmith of legend who forged the blade that smote the Lich King a decade ago. 🗡 The Flamefang Blade re-forge the legendary Flamefang blade - or a new creation infused with the Flamefang's magic - in the ancient dwarven smithy of the northern mountains. 🌋 Magma Creatures These volcanic caverns create the perfect environment for magma and fire elementals to thrive. Though rare, both docile and aggressive elementals can be found within these massive, lava carved chambers beneath the Northern Mountains

⚒️ The Ancient Forge ⚒️ Deep beneath the frozen peaks of the Northern Mountains, under the ancient dwarven city of Kal-Dûrrin, lies a forgotten forge of legendary power that's said to smelt even the strongest metals. Built above the edge of a lavafall, the forge draws its heat from a narrow stream of molten lava, pouring endlessly into the forge. Resting upon a central anvil is a nearly finished blade, forged from the same rare, magical ore as the Flamefang, and nearby, slumped over a cluttered workbench, sits the skeletal remains of the legendary dwarven blacksmith - It seems his last moments were spent working to finish the new blade, as though in preparing for something.

Any more questions or for an invite to the community group chat - send us a message! __________________________________ We've recieved so many of the same questions that, admittedly, I've quit answering 😅 As We've seemed to find our rhythm over the last few months since the story began, I've tried to sum everything up as best as I can manage. I hope this helps anyone with questions 🙏 Inspiration, fun and freedom are the ultimate goals - as long as thats achieved to any degree then we're happy.

Approaching the forge, the party sees a figure at the base of the anvil. With a separated hilt and blade lies the remains of the Dwarven Forger, the Smith of legend. Homare bends down to pick up the Blade and is suddenly overcome. In a trance, Homare begins to work the forge. Recognising the presence of magical possession, the remaining party members stay clear. Finally, Homare returns to himself, sweating and exhausted. In his hands he holds the Flamefang. Finally forged to completion, it's keen edge cuts the air, even in the minuscule movements of Homare's hands. Bowing in honour, Homare presents it to Xavier. The party agree. They wouldn't be at the forge if it had not been for Xavier's selfless sacrifice of his axe. Beaming with joy, not just at the sword, but at the new-found respect of his friends, Xavier bows in response before grasping the blade. And that's when the rose. Pouring from the lava flow and clawing their way to forge platform, the flaming remains of failed travellers and fallen dwarf-lords shamble towards the party. Xavier grins. He has just what he needs to deal with these undead The next part of @greymane_guild #dungeonsanddragons adventure. #minifigurephotography #legodungeonsanddragons #legophotography

Dragons horde quest for @greymane_guild !!! See how many references you can spot ;) There’s not much to say about this build besides the fact that I used every bit of gold that I could find to make this room full of treasure seem full, with some additional artifacts as well! Now, onto the story that I definitely haven’t been procrastinating about. Pt1 As Adainir, Aether, and Aurei travelled through the broken dwarven ruins, a seemingly normal hallway led into a large cavern. The sun hit the party’s eyes quickly, causing them to stop for a moment and adjust. Once their eyes were ready though, they stood in awe of the sight before them. Decorating the cave was a pile of every kind of treasure you could think of, some even appearing otherworldly. Aurei, unable to contain herself, jumped headfirst into the sight, digging around the pile with glee. Adainir and Aether on the other hand, were forced to stop and take everything in for a moment longer. “Aha! This is perfect!” Aurei shouted after picking up an ornate looking blade. “This beats my regular old cutlass for sure! What do you guys think- huh?” She said, puzzled by her companions lack of enthusiasm. “Sorry, there’s just a lot here haha” Aether replied, Adainir piping up to answer in a clearer fashion. “What he means is; since me and him both have a strong connection to magic, a ton of different magical items simply strewn about like this can be a little overwhelming to the senses. Though, I do think it affects Aether here less than myself.” “It’s almost like when your hit with something that smells really strong, you know?” Aether added on, both answers receiving a nod from Aurei. “Ohh, glad I don’t have that then. Then I wouldn’t be able to enjoy all this awesome treasure- “. Aurei’s response is then cut short by some rattling nearby, small pieces of treasure being tossed in the air as well. “W-who’s there?!” *Aurei shouted instinctively, to which the clattering stopped. As she raised her newfound sword, a familiar blue robe and hat stepped into view. “Oh! H-hello there! Please come over here quickly, before he comes back!” “Who’s he?” Aether started before a looming shadow arrived to answer…

Kal-Dûrrin - The Deep Tunnels Dragon’s Hoard @greymane_guild After following their guide, the treasure-seeking kobold, through the maze-like halls of Kal-Dûrrin they ended up in the Deep Tunnels as the kobold insisted that the tunnels was the way to both the treasure and the ancient forge. But just as they entered a cave-like clearing, with a strange light almost emitting from the clearing itself, the kobold suddenly turned back and slipped away back to the dark tunnels, almost as if something had frightened him. Behind a large rock, surrounded by bones and treasures, a pair of skeletal wings rose. At the same time the marks of the Lich King started to glow, and the party members gear got a temporary necrotic transformation. Even though the marks pulsed with a searing pain they all felt more powerful than they’ve ever had before. But Morrak knew this feeling from before. Before he was known as Brightstriker. When he was still known as Darktale; a tool of the Lich King. In a harsh female voice the bone dragon hailed the Lieutenants of the Lich King, telling them that if they cross the frozen underground lake behind her and approach the huge Dwarven-made wall they would find their way to the place that the Lich King wouldn’t let any one but his most trusted to reach. #legodnd #legodungeonsanddragons #lego #legomoc #dungeonsanddragons

🗡 Will you choose a new weapon type, or reforge the Firefang greatsword to it's former glory? 🤔

Driftling Company “Dragon’s Hoard” Deep in the halls and passageways of the ancient Dwarven city Kal-Dûrren, the Driftlings entered a vast cavern filled with treasure — a dragon’s hoard! The dragon soon appeared near the cave’s mouth. Strangely, the cursed Lich’s mark on each of the Driftlings began to painfully radiate dark energy, alerting the dragon, who feared the Lich had sent his minions to raid his lair. As the nervous adventurers crept along in the darkness, they discovered a large enchanted treasure chest. Drogmar used his considerable strength to remove a Fork of Paralysis from its side, and the chest, now freed, unfolded a pair of spindly legs and agreed to lead them safely out of the cavern. Perhaps the Dwarven forge was finally within reach! —————————————————- The adventures with the Driftling Comlany and @greymane_guild continue! Thanks to @2p_figs and @capt.dark.shark for continuing to put this thing together. #greymaneguild #legodungeonsanddragons #legodnd #legodragon #legomimic

The Dragon’s Accountant Here is my entry into the Dragon’s Hoard questline from @greymane_guild in particular the someone searching prompt! I have to admit I was a bit stumped for a while with this one, given I had unknowingly posted the perfect habitat for the prompt back at the end of January. It took me a while to come up with a twist on the prompt and what I had already built. I ended up with a similar habitat with the idea that the two could be connected for one scene. I really like the chair design I came up with as well as the look of the accountant’s ‘office’ with the rugs and riches everywhere. —— After arriving in Kal-Dûrrin the Vices set out searching through the ruins for any sign of the ancient smithy or the ore necessary to reforge Flamefang. Days passed and the party once driven with purpose started falling back into old habits, bickering, drinking, or fighting with reckless rage. Isartia trying to keep the group intact by staying busy had been mapping out their route, pointed at one of the few remaining unexplored areas. Agreeing to search there next, the Vices slept and set out on the morn. Fighting their way through the usual monsters and undead Duergar the group rounded a new bend of the cavern and collectively gasped. Before them was what could only be a dragon’s hoard. Gold gleamed everywhere in eyesight, gems glinted, and artifacts shone. The group taking a few steps in heard a rustling further into the maze of treasures. Entranced but needing to investigate the group moved forward, but not before Trossco had filled his pockets with handfuls of coin… —— Lore continued in comments… #lego #legocommunity #legophotography#legofan #legominifigures

Keeping as quiet as they can, the party sneaks through the cavern filled with the dragon hoard. As they make their way past a small mound, a figure rushes out behind Homare. Baring his fangs, and clad in nothing but a disgustingly stained loincloth, the Kobold's eyes go wide with greed. Petra leaps forward in a surprising show of bravery, pulling her sword within an inch of the Kobold's neck. It hisses at her before speaking calmly, and quietly: "Stow your blades, foolssss! Or I will call The Great One to feast on your bonesssss... I'm sure they will make such a pleasant, wet, crunch as she breaks them in her teethssss!" The party slowly lowers their weapons. Jerrun murmurs what they are all thinking: "we want no trouble from you, or the dragon. What is it you want for safe passage?" The Kobold smiles craftily. "I wantssss something special...something to make me strong...something...like that!" The Kobold points one long, bony finger at Xavier's axe, Helm-Cleaver. Homare drops his head in despair. Jerrun sighs, despondently. Petra begins to explain that it's Xavier's family heirloom and is there possibly any other way that they might.... And Xavier nods and smiles with...sincerity? Petra, Jerrun and Homare look on, aghast, as Xavier steps forward, bows slightly, and presents the Kobold with his family's pride and joy: The axe of Barbarus Tyrranus: Helm-Cleaver. The Kobold grabs it hastily before scurrying off to inspect his spoils. Xavier turns and continues to lead the party towards the nearest exit, followed by their stunned silence. My next instalment for @greymane_guild #dungeonsanddragons adventure. I figured I needed to get Xavier on that redemption arc already! #legodungeonsanddragons #lego #minifigurephotography #legophotography

Cascaw, Kenku Warlock of Kal-Dûrrin 🐦‍⬛⚔️ Cascaw likes shiny things, and he has found many such treasures in the abandoned halls of Kal-Dûrrin. A loner by nature Cascaw has been wandering about the ruins of the mountain in solitude, for quite some time. Adventurers a plenty Cascaw has observed enter the ruins, and few has he seen leave, the lure of ancient treasure enticing many to their demise. For whatever great wealth may be gained in Kal-Dûrrin must be weighed against the ancient evils that guard it. Cascaw knows best how to avoid those terrors, and when it is wise to plunder their hoards. Mayhap you should seek him out, if ever you venture there. Couldn’t help but build a Kenku for the ongoing quest of Kal-Dûrrin as hosted by @greymane_guild I used a shield harness from @minifigrealms to secure the key to the satchel. The hooded cloak looks great on him too 😊 #legodnd #legoafol #legofantasy #legophotographer #legocustomminifigures

New post for @greymane_guild !!! Many Duergar were harmed in the making of this post…. I’ve unfortunately had to use mega blocks again for most of the set this time around, as I wanted to get a big sense of scale for Kal-Durrin. Either way though, Bricks are bricks and if it looks cool, then it shall be used. Anyway, story tyme Pt1 Each step the party took seemed to serve only to make the cold air harsher, a testament to whatever things resided in Kal-Durrin now. Adainir, as usual, walked forward with purpose. It was almost as if he had seen the places they had been before. In contrast, Aether and Aurei looked over the side of the worn down bridge with awe. The massive dwarven structures below them, though ruined, still brought a sense of amazement and wonder. As they got further down the bridge however, the sounds of metal slamming against itself began to appear, along with occasional clouds of steam. The source of these things was soon discovered to be a pair of dwarven automatons, fighting a group of deurgar back. The larger one’s massive blade, mixed with the smaller’s spear and shield, looked to handle the undead dwarves quite well. That was however, until a certain deurgar manned the old canon on top of the structure and took sim and the bridge below. The machines, having finished the last of their undead creators, turned and looked up towards the new threat. A threat which was short lived, a beam of blue magic and the cannon and duergar were no more, leaving a small explosion where they once were. The machines, turning to see who had saved them, made eye contact with Adainir and the rest of the party. “Thank you.” The larger one said kneeling down. “I was not aware there were others with us here. No one has entered this city since the second rise of the Lich king.” “A similar thing has been happening almost d wry where recently, me and these two other adventurers here were sent by the Greymane Guild in search of a forge. Do you know anything that could help us?” Adainir responded, the smaller machine kicking the body of a deurgar off of the bridge as it approached to wave hello. Pt2 in comments :)
