Okay, I'm going to post some pics of the first structure I built in minecraft, this was created during the Halloween update on a single player map that became The Age of Legends server map. This is survival, it is all legit. The bridges and roads that surround it are also legit, they extend in 4 directions and traverse all of the known server, about 15 min walking time in all directions.
I will say this up front, there is nothing exactly spectacular about this castle, but, it was built a very long time ago, and it was built in the way they used to build them, no real plan, just add on when needed, it has a very eclectic floor plan, but it is interesting, and was my first build.
I will post more pics of the interior later today, the underneath of the castle is the real deal, it is bigger than what you see above, very large corridors, and underwater hall, lava fireplace, atrium, etc. All of it was done the hard way, the lightstone was added later, but other than that, the rest was as I said, built way back when minecraft started to get popular, so please feel free to critic away, you have seen some of my other works that actually are not far from this castle, which was the center of our server.
Thanks again, hope you like it. Sorry for the fog, using windows xp, not the machines fault, I need to bite the bullet and upgrade to 7 so I can use 64 bit, so just try and enjoy the pics for what they are.
thats a pretty awesome accomplishment! And thats the best series of books ever written!... Terry Goodkind is the Seeker.... oh, and the TV show was pretty good to. :-)

I was waiting for someone to mention it, yes, you are right. I have read a ton of books, all kinds, but it will always be my favorite, couldn't help but use the unusual names for our world. I will disagree with the tv show, I did not like it much at all, but thanks very much for the compliments, like I said, the inside is got some cool stuff in it too, I will get those out there tonight.
Actually I was going to start a project to build out all of the Westland, Midlands, D'Hara, and The Old World. But as I started to research all of the different location it just became to big of a project for one person.... to much reaserch needed. So I changed my project to a complete build out of my second favorite world, Forgotten Realms: Faerun.
But I'd go back to that project if I had a server to build on and some help.
The TV show didn't follow the books, and Terry Goodkind new that some people would be upset about that. He said that he didn't want the show to mirror the books. He wanted to retell the story in a different way. If you approach the TV show with that frame of mind you'll find that its a great show on its own.
If you liked Sword of Truth, I think you'll love The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.
Where's the symbol of power room?
I'm sorry this is actually unfinished as it is, but I was not going to include everything, but, I'm going to be working on it again soon, so I may include that.
Okay, I found some of the interior shots for you, hope you enjoy.
These are shots of the underwater portion of the Palace, the long corridor under water is called magma hall, as you can see why in the last shot.
This is the Grand Hall and another of the very long corridors that form a labyrinth under the main building. There is also a stairwell leading from two areas into one, the part that goes under the water.
These are various shots of the apartment area, with the atrium where the trees are.
Well I think that is it, hope you like what you see, please let me know. As I said before, this is pre-beta when this was built.

I didn't even see this post, sorry. From that point of view you are right, it would have been different had I known that. You are welcome on our server, but like I said, I'm doing the new palace and all of this one, was done in survival. A lot of this world was done with canary mod, but we have gone to pure survival, the challenge is so much greater. Anyway, drop me a line if you are interested, we don't have that many that come on right now because we are waiting for the stable build of bukkit.
Hi guys,
Big SOT fan here, and I love Minecraft,
Looking for any way to help,
I'm a good builder (I think) and would love to contribute to a server,
and also have access to host a 24hr server, just started a new world with Spigot 1.7.2.
Waiting for the final supported release
I want to build a SOT minecraft world,
Who's with me?
