This is not a staff-managed setup, I just felt like seeing what we came up with...

So I was wondering what people considered the 7 Wonders of Aloria to be, both in-game and in-lore. That resulted in this lovely post where I'm accepting submissions for a Poll post that will be made at a later date once people have submitted in-game builds and lore-builds for this compilation effort. The Poll will decide both the 7 Wonders and the order they come in. For now though, lets get on to submission:

In-Game Builds Form:

Name(s): What names has it had over it's existence?
Map: What map is this build on?
Coords: From the Dynmap, so that people can visit it or at least find it on the Dynmap.
Builder(s): If none are known, just say "Unknown".
Owner(s): Current Owners Only
Date Built (if known): If not known, "Unknown".
Details: What is it, why was it built, and any other juicy bits of information.
Screenshots: You MUST have screenshots to submit a build to this compilation & poll.

Lore Builds Form:

Name:
Location:
Builder(s):
Owner(s):
Date Built (if known):

This thread will close on May 5th, at which point I will compile the full list of Submitted Game Builds & Lore Builds. I will then produce 2 threads, each with a poll, for people to vote on which build they believe is most deserving of inclusion on this list of 7 Wonders of Aloria. The first thread will be for In-Game Builds (like Qubais Castle or the Chimera Tower), the second thread for Lore Builds (like the Imperial Palace at Regalia or the Sultans Palace in Farah'Deeh). Please submit as many builds as you want, all of them will be included in the initial Poll for each type (In-Game & Lore)!

Name(s): Avalon Castle, Qubais Castle & City
Map: New Ceardia
Coords: 2816, 8416
Builder(s): Avalon/Others. Expanded by Raeth and Hyrune. Notable Individuals: Mecharic (expanded city), NBatch7345 (constructing outer wall)
Owner(s): Owned by Hyrune.
Date Built (if known): Unknown
Details: Qubais Castle is the seat of Alibaha Malikamel, a powerful pirate lord and skilled swordsman. The castle is located in the criminal-infested and ruled city of Qubais, where the only "law" is the law of the strongest. Built of sandstone and clay, the castle is a large complex with a massive Library, large throne room, and many as-yet unused portions to it. The overall city of Qubais is fairly large, and built into and ontop of a large hill, giving it control over the bay areas directly around the city and making it a safe port for pirates, smugglers, and scum of all sorts. The Ringwall of Qubais, when complete, will encircle the entire city at the waterline, and will stand more than tall enough to prevent enemy warships from getting decent shots at the city or castle.

In lore, there is that giant wall of ice made by an Isldar. That could possibly be considered. It's not a real build however it seems like it could be a wonder.
"An exceptionally strong Frost Singer was once captured by a group of Dwarves who used a ploy to draw her out while they lay hidden in the snow. She eventually broke free and used her potent Ice magic to freeze herself in a giant spire of Ice. The Ice spire still stands in northern Ellador to this day, being called "The Frost Wall" as it connects two mountains like a giant wall of ice."
 
If I don't have people who actually submit then I won't be able to create the list, so please do submit. Otherwise I guess this'll just be another unfinished idea.
 
Name(s): Beaumesnil Mansion

Details: What is it, why was it built, and any other juicy bits of information. Baroque Architecture is the central theme of this large estate. The grounds are beautifully maintained and rich is style. This iconic build speaks richness for anyone who lives inside.

Someone should totally build this in Jorrhild.
 
make a campaign to encourage factions to create huge monuments, strongholds, etc. (you could offer regal prizes if you are willing to do some /voting
 
Welp, sorry to see this thread die so quick, once I get unbanned again I will go get some pics of my pyramid. It was build by fr0stfeather around the sand castle that I made as f home in the original Hutopia, I made some slight modifications but most credit goes to fr0st, also the only survivor from my old zoo is there, one of the 3 immortal magma ancients on the server.
The pyrmaid can be found here: http://map.massivecraft.com/?worldname=fendarfell&mapname=isometric&zoom=6&x=716&y=64&z=-3432
Don't worry, it looks more impressive in person.
