The Story
Crimsonwood Keep was founded long ago by Christopher Crimsonheart; a mighty warrior wishing to establish a stronghold against the enemies of the good people of the world. During his rule, he lead his lands to an age of prosperity. After his death, his descendants also ruled in his place. However, during a very dark winter, war came upon the land. The four great great grandsons of Crimsonheart, each specializing in a type of weaponry, all became kings of equal power, and lead the country to a victorious, hard won peace. However, that peace was short lived, for a sickness struck the land, killing most of the population. No longer having the manpower to sustain the fortress, the survivors of the plague abandoned it. Decades of age and decay slowly ate away at the once-great fortress. The enemy, seeing the opportunity to obtain this strategic point, infested the empty halls. Pillaging and defiling the beauty and splendor of the keep, the enemy turned it into a place of malice and evil, spreading darkness over the land. For years it has sat, a nightmarish legend lurking on the edges of the wild. Now a brave expedition has dared to try to explore the haunted halls of Crimsonwood Keep. What treasures that lay hidden is for you to find!

Work in Progress
-Still needs small detail work. This build is currently at 170k bricks; I am guessing the end project Won't be more than 185k.
-Most of the eventing hasn't been done yet.
NOW HIRING!
-If this seems like a project you would be interested in helping out with, come on by!
-I currently need someone who is very skilled with VCE eventing, as well as a couple of skilled builders to help with detail work.
Disclaimer
This requires relatively decent computers in order to experience with minimum lag. Even with shaders off, the astronomical brick count as well as several emitters could cause performance issues.
I will post updates with progression!
