The White Tower at Tar Valon from The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. 1/3 #thewheeloftime #robertjordan #lego
A lego build of a white tower with two wings on opposite sides. There is a bustling street out front. Closeup of a merchant cart with the sign Ol' Rigney's Pipes and Tabac. The merchant is wearing a dark wide brimmed hat. In the alleyway behind, vendors sell lionfish and ice peppers. A novice in white is marking a corner of the tower with graffiti that says Elaida is a goat-kissing silverpike. A woman in red with a gold ring is rounding the corner with a scowl on her face. Nobles, novices, Aes Sedai, and guards mingle in the entryway to the tower.

On a distant hill, thousands of red and black figures surround a smaller number of warriors in blue. In the foreground, soldiers in green and white trudge away from the battle, surrounding a smirking man in red plate armor.

Happy holidays! Here's Brandon Sanderson sporting a Mistborn holiday sweater. The original sweater was designed by Priscilla Spencer (@priscellie.bsky.social) of Dragonsteel, and I modified the proportions slightly to fit on a minifigure. #brandonsanderson #mistborn #lego #fanart
