The Brochure: Maero Arcis is a direct descendant of my most popular build, the DarkRayne Fortress. It's slightly smaller in length and is much more intimate with a layout that includes a master suite on the second floor, a see through dance floor, a dining area downstairs. And best of all a fully secure wine cellar with lockable storage for those special vintages. This isn't a small build at 30x40 but it does fit on a relatively medium sized parcel and is beautifully textured. When you tell people it's 159 prims they will be shocked. As always it is mod/copy so you can change textures as you wish.
The Story: The DarkRayne as you know is my very first castle. It holds a special place in my heart being the first product I came up with, however, people keep asking for something a bit smaller and I wanted to see what I could do with what I learned. So I built this. The windows are better as I finally got an understanding of how to avoid
flash in different viewers. (Hint: 1mm isn't enough of a difference to prevent flash in the most recent viewers.) I also used sculpted stairs instead of ramps in this one to give it a bit more realism. It's a simpler build, not as spread out with small cloisters as the DarkRayne, instead having a 'master suite' upstairs and a decent dormer downstairs. But the real crowning achievement of this build is the 'wine cellar' basement. I managed to use my prim torture techniques to make that dungeon while still keeping it low prim. It's really a gorgeous build and has become one of my favorites.
By the way, the name means Fort of Sorrow in Latin, or my closest approximation thereof.
In a day or two I'll show you the other flavor it comes in.
