The Models
- River Town Fortress. The River Folk live almost entirely on the river, in their floating houses and shops - but even the River Folk realize that at times, its important to be able to flee to the land - which is why the river fortress is always nearby. This complex includes a complete palisade wall, a well house, many utility huts, plus a main security and storage building, where chests of goods, shields, swords and spears are available for ready warfare. This flexible set is based on celtic architecture, making it appealing for historical value, or in a fantasy setting. Includes props: chest, gate, hut, ladder, main lodge, main lodge demo, palisade, empty rack, river fortress, river fortress demo, shield rack demo, spear, spear rack demo, sword, sword rack demo, well.
- River Dock and Mercantile Station. The River Dock is a combination of protective wall and mercantile check point for goods passing through the communities of the River Folk. The River Dock includes a small walled guard point, plus dock extensions, including straight, cross road dock, t-road dock and dock ends (with additional pilings). This allows creating docks and boardwalks in almost any configuration. The tower canopy can be used as an in-water dock piece as well. Includes props: boardwalk end, dock demo, dock, tower base, boardwalk t-section, boardwalk ramp section, boardwalk cross road section, boardwalk straight section, boardwalk end section, gate, ladder, ramp, tower, tower base, tower canopy.
- Small Floating House. Most River Folk live in small dwellings, built up river where forest wood is plentiful, then moved seasonally. Each house has an extended bridge to the boardwalk, and room around the edges to tie up visiting corracles or other larger vessels. Inside, there are two rooms. One is devoted to a cooking and living area, whereas the back room is where the occupants sleep. The raft and raft bases are also usable as foundations or decking. Includes props: bed, bench, boiler base, boiler, bridge, carpet, firepit, house, house demo, pan 1, pan 2, plate, raft, raft base, small floating house, small floating house demo, stool, support, table.
- Coracle Maker. Day to day, most River Folk use small coracles to move around a River Town, keeping the guild of Coracle Makers extremely busy with orders for new coracles and repairs (though most River Folk are able to do simple repairs themselves) This shop on the water includes two rooms - one a simple storage room where the maker's apprentice also happens to sleep, and the other a formal work room. Some small comforts are here, including a stove for not only heating the natural saps and tars used in coracle building, but also for meals of the master and apprentice. Double doors lead to a landing, where new coracles are available for sale. Includes props: axe, barrel, bed, bound crate, chisel, coracle, partially finished coracle, coracle maker, coracle maker demo, coracle rib, coracle work table, coracle work table base, four section raft, house, house demo, mallet, oven, paddle 1, paddle 2, pail, pan, raft base, washbin.
- The Floating Market. Most river villages have more than one floating market, some closely interlinked with specific neighborhoods, while others are on the edge - deep in the river - to provide easier access to goods coming from up or down river. This two story building has access gates on the top floor, allowing goods to be hoisted up or down directly from the water. Floating markets are open inside, allowing live goods to remain fresh, in the water and for a fresh breeze to keep the air breathable. Includes props: axe, barrel, beam, boardwalk, boardwalk base, boiler, bowl, chisel 1, chisel 2, crate, floating market, floating market demo, hammer, pail, pan, raft, stairs, table, washbin
- The Floating Temple. Surprisingly, the floating temples of the river folk also provide some protection on the river, as four sides of the temple are fortified with a heavy wall and an elevated floor for using missle weapons. Gates and halls lead from north, south, east and west under the holy triquetra, and into the main hall. There, a raised wooden dais is surrounded by beautiful copper and silver brazier lamps and chairs of the holy elders of the village. A wooden altar is used for ceremonies upon which the village holy cup sees use - a beautiful celtic cup made of copper, silver and gold. The hall is reasonably fortified, with stairs leading up to defenses. Includes props: altar,altar base, ceremonial chair, ceremonial cup, ceremony demo, floating temple, floating temple base, floating temple demo, entry passage, lamp base, lamp cage, lamp demo, simple dais, triquetra (wooden celtic symbol).
- The Floating Bar. The river folk drinking establishments are usually found free of the dock community, or at the end if a neighborhood pier. This two floored building has an open central kitchen/bar, with two levels for patrons served. Outside, each post features a torch so that guests that cannot hear the loud laughter or singing bard can find their way. Steps lead right down to the water. Includes props: bar, bench, firewood, floating bar, floating bar demo, furnace, house base, raft, spit, spit base, spit demo, plate 1, plate 2, table, torch.
- The River Folk Toll Bridge. The River Folk are not great workers of stone, but they recognize the value of sites developed by fallen and ancient civilizations. The River Folk Toll Bridge is built on ancient stonework, with new wooden ramps cunningly built, and a complete fortress dominating the middle span. Non-River Folk are offered passage over the bridge, but at a modest payment based on numbersof feet. Two level defensive walls and a modest tower help ensure people pay.
