At least that is what I think I will do.

One of my thoughts too, luckily I have some others as well...

Good luck, I'm curious to see what you'll make of it, especially as your other Westerosi religions-themed build was awesome!

Don't make me stop you. I have other ideas to, like a Afghan poppy field.

The poppy field idea is out since the afghans did not start cultivating poppy at any larger scale until the 40s.

What to do, what to make...? Old Man Willow? The gallow tree of Gallowsgrey? Arumbayan riverside?

Hmmm... I am considering a terraced paddy field to. For my NWF board.

Changed the title.

Since we are allowed three bases I will attempt a small grove.

Splendid

So... According to A Song of Ice and Fire canon a Godswood is in Westros nomenclature a forest, park, garden or clump of trees surrounding a single weirwood tree with a face carved into its side. I some cases it is just a single tree. I will make a weirwood tree and two bases of other trees surrounding it.

A very rough sketch of the center weirwood tree.

In 'front' of the tree, to where the face carving is, well, facing there will be a dark pond, into which the tree is dipping its roots. The tree will be growing on a cliff, which broken sides will be sloping down towards the water.

In the back, below the tree, there will be a small cave with a skelleton, overgrown with tendril roots.

So from where will I source my material, I hear you ask. Well surrounding our house, the villa Morannon, we have a mighty old hedge with which I make battle each summer. It is an endless source of gnarled twigs and branches which work very well as the boles of old trees.

And just a quick shot from the hip of the rough cut and size comparison of what eventually will become the weirwood tree.

Oooohhh! That's going to be sooo good. Just seeing your plans and knowing your talent....

Looks good Peder. I look forward to visiting your work over time. That's of course I don't melt in this heatwave down-under. :-)

Best wishes,

Helen
