Moon's Spawn from Gardens of the Moon

thingiverse

Moon's Spawn, the Tiste Andii's Fang of Darkness, towered as a floating fortress, its city within commandeered by the Tiste Andii. According to Anomander Rake, this city was home to children, priests, and three very bookish warlocks who spent their days poring over ancient tomes. The fortress also sheltered a massive flock of Great Ravens that made their nests in the crags and pocks on Moon's surface, numbering thirty thousand according to some estimates. Within the rock's caverns was the lair of Silanah, the Eleint, a creature of legend and mystery. Many have attempted to describe Moon's Spawn, but no diagrams exist, so I felt free to create my own interpretation of this ancient fortress. My goal was to capture its look as if it were built on top of even older fortresses. To assemble the model, I used 5mm pins for added stability and orientation, though they are not essential. The design printed smoothly without supports at its existing scale using a FDM printer, and it should be easily scalable. The castle at the top of Moon's Spawn is a separate piece that can also be printed with a resin printer if desired. The base of the model was inspired by the official map of Darujhistan, which I included in my design. In case you'd like to play with it, I generated a map without supports for your convenience. I revised the model to have a larger base size and added a direction finder for added realism. I also created round and square bases for miniature gaming enthusiasts. If you make one, please post a picture!
