The Great Tree

Moiety Jean

Engberg visited the city and mentioned he had an opportunity to offer the explorers. (They ARE listening!)

[edited some unnecessary conversation out]
(02/22 13:24:43) Chat.log started...
(02/22 13:24:53) Michael Engberg: You have probably noticed the stained-glass "windows" in the 'hoods of the Gahreesen Age.
(02/22 13:25:02) BobLishman: yes
(02/22 13:25:04) Erik nods his head
(02/22 13:25:07) A'drian: Yes, they're beautiful.
(02/22 13:25:08) The Broken Light: Yes Mr. Engberg
(02/22 13:25:10) Sorceress: Yes, they're very pretty.
(02/22 13:25:48) The Broken Light: If you need a window cleaner, I have 4+ years of experience.
(02/22 13:26:16) Michael Engberg: We have recently found similar stained-glass windows for Eder Tsogal, but they need to be restored before they can be displayed.
(02/22 13:26:51) Myst'Aken: How can we help ?
(02/22 13:26:51) Moiety Jean: Ooh. Well, any task you'd care to set out I'm sure we'll be glad to take on.
(02/22 13:26:58) The Broken Light: Oh wow! They must be beautiful
(02/22 13:27:06) BobLishman: we're happy to help
(02/22 13:27:09) Ti'an: Yes, we'd be glad to help
(02/22 13:27:38) Michael Engberg: We were thinking that that is a project that the explorers might like to tackle.
(02/22 13:27:58) A'drian: I'm happy to volunteer in any way I can.
(02/22 13:28:03) BobLishman: me too
(02/22 13:28:05) Lule: me too
(02/22 13:28:08) Sorceress: Sounds great! What do we need to do?
(02/22 13:28:10) Moiety Jean: I'm one of numerous explorers raring for a chance to assist the restoration. This is wonderful.
(02/22 13:28:18) A'drian: I'm sure all of us are.
(02/22 13:28:21) Deathsbedbug: tell us how to help, and you'll have more helpers than you can handle :)
(02/22 13:29:14) Erik: I would love to do some restoration work.
(02/22 13:29:14) Ragdrazi: What you would be having us do?
(02/22 13:29:21) To Cycreim: Our words aren't falling on deaf ears. Engberg is here in the city proposing a project for us.
(02/22 13:29:28) Ragdrazi: And what are the risks?
(02/22 13:29:37) A'drian: Glass cuts, i'm sure.
(02/22 13:29:43) Michael Engberg: Feel free to restore the stained glass as best as you think it would have looked
(02/22 13:30:42) Michael Engberg: and send a picture of the restored window to info@drcsite.org
(02/22 13:30:51) The Broken Light: What I believe he means is we are to submit to the DRC a diagram of how we think the stained glass window should look
(02/22 13:30:58) Myst'Aken: I see
(02/22 13:31:04) Moiety Jean: Interesting. So it is also a creative opportunity!
(02/22 13:31:09) Erik: Sounds great!
(02/22 13:31:12) The Broken Light: I am very excited.
(02/22 13:31:17) Ragdrazi: Arts and crafts.
(02/22 13:31:17) BobLishman: is that correct mr engberg?
(02/22 13:31:21) Ragdrazi laughs
(02/22 13:31:36) Ti'an: An excellent opportunity for the creative among us. Thank you Mr. E.
(02/22 13:31:54) Moiety Jean: Thank you very much, Mr. Engberg. This is a welcome opportunity.
(02/22 13:32:17) A'drian: Mr. Engberg, any specifications for the restoration?
(02/22 13:32:24) The Broken Light: You know the window above the Gahreesen book in Bevin? We're to submit how we believe the window above the Tsogahl book should look.
(02/22 13:32:31) Ti'an: Would there be compensation of some sort for the best efforts, Mr. E?
(02/22 13:32:35) Erik: Thank you Mr Engberg for letting us help with the restoration.
(02/22 13:32:57) Ragdrazi: What materals can we use to resurch to insure historial acuracy.
(02/22 13:33:07) Michael Engberg: We'll collect the images until March 26th and then select some of them for display in the 'hoods with Eder Tsogal.
(02/22 13:33:34) The Broken Light: We should probably use the Gahreesen window as a guideline
(02/22 13:33:45) Erik: Is there a limit for restorating windows? Or could you send multiple entries?
(02/22 13:34:01) Ragdrazi: Two types on the Gahreesen window aren't there?
(02/22 13:34:13) Ti'an: Ahhh....pubilicity...the best compensation an artist can get :)
(02/22 13:34:16) Michael Engberg: We'll be adding more specific details to the drcsite in the near future.
(02/22 13:34:24) Sorceress: Okay!
(02/22 13:34:25) The Broken Light: Thank you very much, Mr. Engberg.
(02/22 13:34:28) The Broken Light bows
(02/22 13:34:39) Myst'Aken: Which would be preferred the single or triple pane version ?
(02/22 13:34:40) Ti'an: We'll be sure to get the word out
(02/22 13:34:40) Sorceress: Thanks, this sounds like it's gonna be fun :)
(02/22 13:35:15) Moiety Jean: I trust you have technicians available to craft the glass once designs are chosen?
(02/22 13:35:52) The Broken Light: They have the technicians to restore an underground civilization. I'm sure they can craft glass :)
(02/22 13:36:04) Moiety Jean: Good point, TBL
(02/22 13:36:12) Ragdrazi: Or repair it rather.
(02/22 13:36:32) Michael Engberg: You may submit as many designs as you like.
(02/22 13:36:52) The Broken Light: Awesome.
(02/22 13:37:05) The Broken Light: Thank you very much for this opportunity, Mr. Engberg.
(02/22 13:37:07) Moiety Jean: For those not so artistically inclined, how soon might they be able to help again with The Great Zero?
(02/22 13:37:09) Erik: Nice.
(02/22 13:37:13) Michael Engberg: Thanks. I'm glad it's something some of you are interested in.
(02/22 13:37:20) The Broken Light cheers
(02/22 13:37:27) Sorceress breaks out her colored pencils
(02/22 13:37:35) Moiety Jean: Any opportunity to assist is interesting. :)
(02/22 13:37:43) Michael Engberg: Moiety Jean, I'm really not sure. Sorry.
(02/22 13:38:15) Moiety Jean: That's okay. Please keep working. We know it takes time.
(02/22 13:38:34) The Broken Light: I really don't mean to be bothersome, but do you have and comments regarding the recent supposed Yeesha summoning?
(02/22 13:39:00) Ragdrazi raises eyebrows
(02/22 13:39:20) To Cycreim: They want a stained glass window to hang over Tsogahl books in the hoods
(02/22 13:39:32) From Cycreim in The Great Tree's Bevin: Nice
(02/22 13:39:32) From Cycreim in The Great Tree's Bevin: How about Delin?
(02/22 13:40:52) A'drian: I'd be happy to help you lift those bothersome barrels from infront of the Museum.
(02/22 13:40:57) To Cycreim in The Great Tree's Bevin: nothing said about Delin yet. Might be next. I won't ask him, I want to hear if he answers some other questions
(02/22 13:41:03) Ragdrazi starts to laugh
(02/22 13:41:12) Ragdrazi: Another task for the not so artistically inclined.
(02/22 13:41:14) Michael Engberg: Thanks for the offer, A'drian.
(02/22 13:41:48) A'drian: No problem. And thanks again for the opportunity.
(02/22 13:41:55) The Broken Light cheers
(02/22 13:42:01) Erik: Good day Mr. Engberg. Thank you.
(02/22 13:42:04) BIG thumbs up from Moiety Jean
(02/22 13:42:15) Sinsimilia: did he ever offer a comment on the Yeasha sightting?
(02/22 13:42:24) Moiety Jean: nope :/
(02/22 13:42:28) Myst'Aken: Thanks Mr. Engberg
(02/22 13:42:58) Sorceress: Nice, a project to ease the waiting :)
(02/22 13:43:15) ...Chat.log stopped.

I want to try! I never did anything for the Garrison window contest. This could be cool.

Eleri, that's beautiful! I wish they were doing Delin as a contest even just for your sake! Very Happy

Stuff like this makes me wish I was artistic...

Sounds fun, though! Smile

Lovely work, Eleri. I think we should have that by our Delin book.

I would much have preferred Delin as well. Ho hum. Smile

If this set of entries are anything like the last, we should have some awesome new art in the cavern soon.

Moiety Jean · Posted: Thu Feb 22, 2007 9:06 pm Post subject:

I'm almost positive they'll want a Delin glass, too, at some point. It's just that Tsogahl is a more commonly-placed age.

My parents-in-law are looking for real stained glass projects to do.. I wonder if I could get them to make me one of Delin or Tsogahl... Very Happy

Eleri's is loverly!

That's beautiful Eleri!

Tsogal? There's no focal point in the age. I mean, there's no defining architecture, atmosphere, or natural formations. It's so, well, familiar and earth-like. It's like a big open field with some cat-tails and a few puddles. (But still beautiful).

[color=darkblue]But there is water! and water reflects
like glass!
And rocks, and some rocks can also reflect light,
'cept those granite slabs on tsogal.
Blue green gray
sky water grass granite
could be lovely . . . ![/color]
