Valheim | Biome Challenge #6: Mistlands Sky Sanctum

ABOUT THE BUILD:

Iron Gate dropped the surprise Mistlands release at the end of November and I've been busy every since, experimenting with the new pieces. There's a lot to talk about here, but I'll make a companion video where I walk through the build and talk about parts of it to cover everything. For now, let's just say that the new mistlands build piece black marble inspires EPICNESS.

I had no idea what this build would become when I started but couldn't be happier with the result. It started with the idea of a central courtyard surrounded by stone columns on 3 sides. Then I found one of those giant procedurally generated marble bridge columns in the world and fell in love. So I decided to build my own as a platform to build my build upon.

The main "house" was just born out of experimenting what the bulging shapes of black marble.

The mystique and magic of the mistlands naturally lent itself to a sorcerer's tower in the center, and the offshooting platforms and subtowers were inspired by a build I saw and had bookmarked on reddit from over a year ago (I'll share a link below.)

For the final platform, I opted for an outdoor garden/shrine area of sorts because I wanted something mystical and whimsical and didn't want the build to be too symmetrical.
