Thanks!

I'm now doing the Lindisfarne castle. Here is a photo:

It is a very interesting location, so I'll try to design it, as best as I can.

Previous version, now lost. Lacks the sea around (its supposed to be an island).
The rock should be more step, and have no trees.

Lindisfarne:

Here some reference pictures, with the ruins of the abbey and castle on it. It would of course be a wooden fortress by our era.

Note that the fortress is on a very steep rock.

Fortress is at "castle point". Perhaps Bamburgh/Din Guardi can be viewed in the horizon.

Ah, so DIn Guardi is good old Bebbanburgh. :wink:

As a Bernard Cornwell addict, I really appreciate your mod. Nice Dark Ages feeling.
 
You'll notice that "Queen Bebba" is actually one of the Bernician ladies - when Aetheling Aethelfrith becomes King, he'll rename Din Guardi after her. Hence Bebbanburh.
