Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) It's finally done. some know it as covenant, some as dodge this and some just call it the Shitnal. we knew it as our quickest way to the sea and it looked like it could collapse any day. so a few weeks ago Thorinoakshield started cleaning up a tunnel which was in dire need of repairs and improvement. and he dragged the Wonders alliance in it as well. We widened the tunnel, got the ceiling as high as we could from the water, added a path to the side, deepened the canal to a passable level over the full length and the seaside entrance is now also deep enough for any ship to pass. Both sides are now also reinforced. and only 2 iron veins are still there but the canal has been widened around them. a third has mysteriously dissapeared during a certain horserace. Special thanks go out to all those who helped. the tireless and sometimes tired miners : Thorinoakshield,Ironmaiden,Alikin, Trysten, Zigozag (and his minions),Barricade, Mistvengery( who really had no choice ) Punishlife ( who stayed for a bit after cleaning up shards ) and myself Strongwalling the (near)entire length of the tunnel : Zigozog. Supportbeams for the path and the canal: Thorinoakshield, Perliana, Barricade.Kunibert Lamps and colouring Dredbanger, Zigozag & Etherdrifter Special thanks to Enki for an evenfull horserace ( and that other thing ) If i have forgotten anyone ( and i probably have ) pm me to refresh my memory Edited June 3, 2016 by DreDBanGeR 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 7, 2016 Quote Mistvengery( who really had no choice ) It was the most fun Wurm experience for me so far, excluding the special official and community events. Time to plan the coastal road on the lakeside of the canal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 7, 2016 I used this frequently in it's early days of when xanadu opened as a had a secret mancave i'd retreat to for quiet up that way. It was one of the first large canals done on server and done well in the moment. This is a huge improvement and work that was really needed. Great job!!!!
