You make any Tolkien fan proud. This is ART. As a side note: You are right in the inspiration Allan Lee and John Howe took for the aesthetics of Rohan. Allan Lee said as much in his Concept Art Book for the movies. I recommend that book wholeheartedly. Keep doing such amazing things.
This build is breathtaking! I’d love to see you make this a series…building your version of your favorite cities/towns/buildings from your favorite movies/shows/books. I’d love to see more creations like this. Well Done! 😊
Thank you! Yes I think I'll definitely do more projects where I take inspiration from some of my favorite fantasy locations. LotR, Hobbit, GOT, etc. Would be a lot of fun!
So good!!! Edoras is one of my favs! Would love to see more renditions of LOTR locations in your style! Maybe Rivendell in one of those meadows/mountain rivers? 🧝🧝
"Ride now!... Ride now!... Ride! Ride to ruin and the world's ending! Forth, Eorlingas!" Huge fan of LOTR Smitty YOU FREAKING MADE IT!! that 14.28 view was amazing! all epic as always. Send you a great hug man!
Deeaaatthhh!!!! Deeeaatthhh!!! Deaaatthhhh!! 😆😆😆 speech could make me run through a wall!! Super happy to hear you liked this one. Means a lot coming from a fellow LOTR fan 🙌🏻
Amazing stuff as usual! I have had plans to build the Golden Hall myself; My favourite scene from the movies is the arrival at Edoras, when Éowyn runs out, sees the party arrive, the flag tears away and lands outside by Aragorn.
You reached a deep nostalgia in me with this video, so amazing, makes me want to do some lotr style builds in a playthrough! Rohan suits Valheim so well
Thanks Jelly! Yes LotR hits very deep in the nostalgia roots lol. Rohan really does fit Valheim well given the nordic style - it would be really cool if you did a playthrough with that!
You absolutely never fail to impress. This build must have taken you so much time with the amount of research and accurate placement needed to get it "right". Unlike your other builds that you dream up on your own (barring any inspiration ofc), you'd have to use your creative liberties to attempt to portray an already existing setting, which I think you did quite well. I think my favorite bits were the wooden beams on the floor of the golden hall to make an ornate pattern, and the carrot seeds on the tomb spaced out in a way that looks natural. Top tier as always! This is the kind of place I'd love to build for myself someday in my survival worlds. A decent building to live in, a couple smaller buildings for storage an defense, and a nice bit of farmland, all built within decent sized walls to keep enemies out. (Especially important in plains, as my most recent game had 3 lox spawn next to my house and they attacked my crafting table on my stone entrance, dealing massive damage to my structure). I try to keep playing to game to get to the mistlands on my own terms before I completely spoil myself on its appearance, but sadly, my most recent game hit disaster and I'll be starting over again. Soon though, I shall see the mistalnds with my owns eyes, and be able to witness your incredible builds within them! Also seeing the name I chose for my patreon in your list was something else lol. A totally new experience for me
Thanks so much Emily! You actually brought up such an interesting yet true aspect of this project that I didn’t even mention in my commentary! Totally hit the nail on the head regarding how this build had its own set of challenges - I normally am free to just flow wherever my imagination takes me, but this time I totally had to do background research and execute this build in a very specific way. In some regards it’s easier because I have a guide to follow, but in other aspects it’s harder because it can be constraining to determine what is “right” based on the objective! Lol sorry to hear about the recent play though disaster. Keep on pushing through! You’ll get there! And thanks so much for you continued support. Both in watching the content and supporting on Patreon ❤️ much appreciated
Как же ты мощно чувствуешь эту игру. Очень мощная передача атмосферы из фильма, идеальное исполнение интерьера, почерпнул для себя много нового, спасибо!
As a fan of the films and Tolkien's work in general, this was great to watch. I love how accurate it looks to the films. Its not perfect, but still pretty dang good. Good job!
Wow thank you! This comment means a lot! Incredible amount of time and effort goes into creating this content so to hear its appreciate like this means the world! 🙏🏻
Those stake walls are called palisades (because they're made of palings, the trimmed logs). Wonderful job on the Gullínholl. A salr worthy of any Nordic king or jarl. A lovely town. Easily comparable, if not exceeding, Whiterun in its vibe and presence (since Whiterun was also heavily informed by Edoras). The barrows outside town were the pervect touch to cap the settlement's personality. I would adore stumbling across such a village in a fitting setting. Heck, might even add it to a vikingr story of my own - think I know just the place for it. Keep doin' what you're doin', Smitty. Hrafn gleddi!
Gods, the hall itself was masterful, but the later town layout displays the high caliber of your talents. Well built, brother. 👍 The mounds, whoa. The mounds. 🤩
As an artist and a rings enthusiest, you did a super sweet job. I've been wanting to do this, but I'm doing actual play through no fly and no free materials to get there. So it will be ruff. But you enthuse me, great job!!! Keep it up.😊
Thank you! Means along from a fellow artist and LOTR fan! Respect for doing it in a actual play-through! Hopefully this will give you some ideas! Appreciate the support!
Totally amazing build. You just keep getting better and better. Rohan was one of my favorite areas of LOTR too. I love how you show us how to build, and how your mind works through the process too. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Thank you! I think the journey of building is equally as enjoyable as the result to. Hopefully I can convey this in my videos! Really glad you liked this one and appreciate the support!
I really appreciate the fact that you took the time to transition to a shot of the tombs in your cinematic during the more melancholy notes of the Edoras theme. Really nice touch, and amazing build. Well done!
The Setting, The Location, the Planning, the Music, just a well rounded video. Simple and concise narration with plenty of timelapse footage overlapped by that beautiful music. You earned my Sub.
One of the things I loved about your video was how you narrated it. You gave us examples of your references as well as reasons you did certain things as well as your approach to each section/element. I love this build very much and it is easily recognizable, but your talent is more than just building. Great work sir, subscribing and keeping an eye on you!
That diamond window style on the Golden Hall? That's amazing, I have to adopt that. Every time I build it I'll think of Smitty. Also, glad you explained why you wall off a space first before building the village within. I never understood why you did that before. EDIT: You forgot the most important buildings of all: the stables. I suspect the horses of the Rohirrim generally walk in large ranches or even open plains and are cared for by nearby Rohan peasants. But the horses of important visitors and royals are in the royal stables.
Your version of Edoras is wonderfully built - thanks so much for sharing your work - Very inspirational! “Deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised.” - Aragorn
Holy H! This was an amazing build, one of the coolest I've ever seen! As a huge LotR and Valheim fan , having watched countless hours of builds this truly amazing! Love it! When the Rohan theme kicked in at the end it hit me straight in the feels! Amazing work man, can't wait for what you do next, something more LotR themed perhaps? :-D
Thank you so much! LOTR and Valheim. A fantasy match made in heaven lol. Oh lash no doubt that Rohan theme always hits hard in the feels 😂 definitely will do some more LOTR themed builds in the future 👌🏻 appreciate the support!
now all thats left is a banner of rohan falling infront of the gate while aragorn, gandalf, legolas, gimli, pippin and merry are arriving. beautifull work mate!
Really nice build! It captures the feel pretty well. What I've never liked about most depictions of the Golden Hall of Edoras is, that it is supposed to be the residence of the king, but there's never any space allowance to do the residencing. It's all just mead hall and throne room. So, there either needs to be a living complex to the side, or the throne room and mead hall should be smaller. I think this might also be an artifact of our modern perception of palaces etc. Most of them have changed into to being mostly showpieces and aren't permanent residences any longer. But that's hardly your fault 🙂 I think you did a good job in adapting existing depictions into the game.
“For we put the thought of all that we love into all that we make.”
- J.R.R. Tolkien
My favorite Valheim build ever. 🏆
That J.R.R. Tolkien quote just about brought a tear to my eye. Beautiful. Thank you for that
John was right, too. We make what we enjoy. We put the thought of all that we love into all that we make.

Unbelievable! Huge lord of the rings fan an you’ve done it proud 👏🏻👏🏻
Yesss! LOTR is the best, glad I could do it justice 🙌🏻 appreciate the support!
Lotr and the hobbit are my favorite movies
Dude. Lord of the rings + top tier building... Love it! Well done as always.
Thanks 9byte! LOTR will always be the GOAT! Appreciate the comment and support! 🙌🏻
@@smittysurvival LOTR the GOAT!
Anytime friend, keep it up!
Please do other builds from Lord of the Rings. This one turned out so well! Very nicely done sir.
Thank you! Glad you liked it! Will definitely do other LotR builds in the future. So many good ones out there.
@@smittysurvivalif you can you should do Bree
That hill couldn't be more perfect for the build! It looks insane man, well done! Bravo!
Right?! It was meant to be! Thank you! Glad you liked it and appreciate the support!
Rohirrim...riding Loxes! 😮
LOL! Roheim… home of the Lox Lords! I dig it!
Adding the mounds was a really smart choice. Such a small thing, but being such an important thing for their culture really makes the build imo.
This is a masterpiece, honestly. The attention to details like the floor pattern of the throne room is really what makes it most recognisable.
Thank you! So happy you liked it!

@@smittysurvival Hey, Helms Deep isnt too far from Edoras! Could do that. Or Isengard.
It was the mounds and the simbelmynë that really pushed this over the top. Bravo!
I love the trick of sinking the wood beams into the floor!
Great technique to add a little extra flair to your floors!

That last cinematic... I swear my heart cried.
Haha the Rohan theme cuts deeeep... never gets old.
I literally wept with the closing cinematic. Brilliant work!
Very cool. Now I know why I like Valheim so much, because it reminds me of the Rohan. Thank you for this very cool video. Well done.
That looks absolutely fantastic, I can't believe how close it looks to the actual set they built. Well done, very well done!!
Thank you! Hearing that you recognize it from the source material is music to my ears! Glad you liked it!

Amazing!!
The tomb mounds 👌
And adding in with the amazing sound track from LOTR🤘
This is... I am absolutely FLOORED
Speechless. From the location, the building style (true that Valheim fits very well with Anglo-saxon Rohan), the detailing... Perfection.

Looks great man, I've been working on my own version of Edoras and after seeing this I've taken so much inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
