It's time for our next building contest, and this one has a unique concept that we haven't focused on yet: creating art using maps. Here's SaneTezz with the full story!

We Need Tapestry!

Every 100 years the Castle makes its grand appearance so that the Belmonts can fulfil their destony, but what happens in year 76? Dracula heard through the underground that the land of Laurasia has some very skilled and crafty artisans and has put out a quest for those skilled, and brave enough.
"I need my halls adorned with Tapestries! Magic coin to be used in the either as a grand prize and useful equipment for all who join in!"

Theme:

• Dracula, Castlevania, Creatures of the night, Bats, Vampires, Blood, Science.

Judging Criteria:

• Theme; did you stick to it?
• Color choice; Does it look like it belongs in Dracula's castle, or did you lean more towards pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows?
• Creativity; Did you do a tapestrie that shows the lore of the battles with the belmont family? Something simple and classy? Something straight out of the games or shows?
• Size; Will this be a small 2 block tall Tapestry or a massive 5 wide by 8 tall epic? Remember, sometimes less is more, but sometimes too little can leave people... less then impressed.

The building location:

• The build itself is up to each player. You'll be using maps to create the art so have at.
• Where the end product, tapestry, will be hung and displayed is within or around the halls of Dracula's Castle. 50 item frames will be provided for all those competing as well as signs to hang under your work and scafolding. You may bring your own frames as well, glowing or normal... no limit. You may want to scout out a location and dibs a wall before starting so you can have an idea of how big you want to make your work.

How to get to the castle:

• There are 2 ways, the long but standard way is to take the N(orth) nether rail from central towards the Lily Keep Hub. At the 3rd Hub (Lily Keep) you'll go downstairs and in the back right corner follow the rail of Mlhrj5 , This will take you to Dulac Vault. (Total rail time is 11 min from central) Go topside of the vault and fly/ walk north to 6304, 72, -24289
• The shorter way, is to go to the citidel and go through the nether portal. Once in the neather you'll see the portal leads down one side, and straight with a door on the other side. Go through the door. Now you'll go down the first ladder then as you go down the second ladder face away from the lader, you'll see and opening after decending for about 4 seconds jump off and walk out. Walk out towards the ledge, you'll see some stairs and a basalt tunnel system Lit with soul sand fires. If you don't have eletra to glide in, you can jump in from the nether rack beside the stairs. Follow the tunnle all the way past the bend and up the stairs, through the door, and you're at the nether portal. (This rout takes 3.5 min with no gear on, about 1.5 mins with some speed boost gear, no rail available.) Again get topside of the vault and fly/ walk north to 6304, 72, -24289

Timeline:

• Event will run from May 9th to June 11th

Common Questions:

• Can we work in groups? As long as you're willing to share the prize, yes!
• Can we change the building? DM my discord and we can negotiate renovations. Multipul Entries? Sure but be sure to lable your work. If there is a blank wall, claim it.
• Anywhere in this big castle?! Yes. If its out of sight I might miss it so be sure to DM my discord and give me a heads up that I'll be on a scavanger hunt for it.

TLDR: Its a map creation contest. make pretty "tapestries" out of maps and hang em in the castle and have fun, get money if best. Woo!

If you have any questions, you can ask SaneTezz in-game or on Discord. Good luck!
