Alrighty. This is Victus making more work for himself that will probably leave him with a headache the size of a fed Cho'Gath.
I have decided to TRY to draw up the floor plan of the Institute of War.
As I can see, it has been attempted, but left incomplete...and I can't read the damn attachments so I am starting on square two. Square one being the Image of the outside of the Institute and what Lore I got.
No, I am not planning on assigning rooms to summoners as that would mean 1,000 little boxes and I don't wanna make them. Sorry, OC buddies.
Also, I am NOT drawing rooms, I am drawing boxes that say where a room is and whose it is. All Champions have a room and Councilors gets rooms.
I would request any need to know info be placed below as well as requests from Champions about things they think their character would NEED (Hecarim having outside access to his chambers for example as steps and hooves don't mix well).
I plan on doing this in Google Sketch Up, though I might try Minecraft screenshots if Sketch Up won't transfer. If you wish to BUILD the League via Minecraft, I am sure people will be happy to help. (Psst....Victus would like to help if you want to do that...but he has no servers. Maybe if you give him- OI!! SHUT IT! WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR MONEY FROM THE GOOD PEOPLE! Fine....killjoy.)

That little stairway is about 20 feet across and the League itself is about 5 stories tall. Who knows how wide it is, as the picture I have cuts off there and they make no mention of a basement, but they have one (probably 3 stories down, but that is guess-timation). Thanks god for little people to be my measuring sticks.

Right! ... right. Okay. After a /lot/ of pushing and prodding CONTEMPLATING, I have gathered my courage to present it to the Maelstrom community the idea I've had floating in my mind's eyes for a couple of months now.
Champions, summoners, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the Map of the Institute of War.
NOW, I assure you, all the art universities were trying their best to convince me to join - ... I'm joking, I really suck at drawing and I'm aware of that. Nevertheless, that did not stop me to try my best.
Swain, Victus and a couple of others have seen my sketches, but I imagined that this was the sort of thing the whole community should decide on - after all, is it not the second home of many of us? (well, unless you're noxian - then get out)((I'm kidding, please come back))
So, without any further ado, let me know what you think about the concept(not the art, I know the art sucks, don't blame me for not having any talent ... )
Also, I know, I kinda effed up my cardinal points and had the wings switched ... sorry about that, my bad. >////<

How on earth did I miss this thread.
Okay, I happen to posess a particular software called Campaign Cartographer 3; which is perfect for, creating maps such as these. If you guys want, I'll start working on a digital map based off Tybresa's sketches when I get back home.

Wow, that's awesome Kass! Though I would rather sit on it for a longer and let people see them through and think ... maybe address some questions here and there. I'd prefer if we all reached a general consensus on this.

Oh, something I forgot to add - I obviously /didn't/ add all the possible chambers for /all/ the champions and /all/ the OC's living (or unliving, or jailed there against their will) within the Institute. So don't take it personal or anything, if I didn't write add all the chambers ... just letting you know, I'm more than certain when the finished map will be done, it will contain /all/ the possible rooms and chambers of the Institute. Just lettin' y'all know <3

Hehe, it's okay, no stress. As I said, I wouldn't mind if people posted their opinions/feedback on this some more before you'd actually start, however ...
