The Odan Project: Capital City K'al Yne . The fantastical world of Odan is my Kickstarter project. You can decide how to evolve this kingdom by visiting:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mikedoyle/the-odan-project-a-fantastical-and-massive-lego-ma?ref=recently_launched .
This project is 1/2 done. I've started a Kickstarter to help finish it. You can see a video I've created that shows this in great detail. This is built in micro scale and hopefully will be 5' - 6' tall. Small prints can be purchased for $13.
I've a ton of rewards, from small fine art prints, to larger ones and all sorts of objects from the finished model. By funding at certain levels you will be telling me what to add to this creation. Some things you can get are: a houses, trees, mills, parts of the castle (city), farms, temples, watchtowers, large towers, large areas of the city, disciple's retreats, beast master tower, the central bridge, a cathedral and more. Sorry about the title in Kickstarter "The Odan Project: A Fantastical and Massive LEGO Masterwork". I don't mean to imply a master builder's piece or overstate. It was just to build excitement for non afols. Also, if you have any other ideas of things to add.
Here is the basic feel for the story.
The World of Odan
Depending on the success of first installment to the project, I will continue further with more models, which will expand on this universe. In this fantastical world, pure evil has taken hold of many nations. Here, there are a number of races � including a few humaniods � which have traditionally coexisted peacefully. Spirituality has evolved as fast as science. As a consequence, kingdoms in the light practice spiritual healing, animal communication and can travel parts of the universe with their spirit. The evil that has taken hold of many kingdoms, offers new powers in exchange for the light. These lands have grown dark and chaotic. Over 70 kingdoms extend into many climates and spectacular environments. These will be captured in future models.
The Seers of Odan
With the high level of spirituality, has evolved two disciplines within those practices. The first is organized religion, much as we know it. This remains primarily community based and is run by a hierarchical religious order.
The second component is run by an order known as the Seers. Their power comes from the spirits, both from Odan and from within each individual. Certain larger mammals and trees infuse the world with energy which can be tapped in by all individuals for healing, spirit traveling and other special powers. This branch of spirituality is more individual than community in nature and complements the religious order. Special crystals help to capture and focus powers which the seers carefully guard. They also train the population in these arts, administer healing and communicate with the great beasts that guard their kingdoms. So it is that the Seers' role can be divided by these distinct areas � those that heal, those that educate and those that protect.
