Legend of Zelda:Arbiter's Grounds (Model/Texture Only)

[MrUnderhill]

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Arbiter's Grounds Model for Civ4
v1 by Mr.Underhill

Overview:
----------
This is a building modeled after Dungeon 4 (Arbiter's Grounds) in the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. If you plan on making a Zelda mod, or just any fantasy mod with a desert-style temple or palace, this model is just for you.

There's no Twilight Mirror or big rock in the center like there are in TP, as I was simply too lazy to put them in. If enough people say they want it, though, I'll make a v2 with the rock and the mirror included.

History:
----------

Spoiler :

The Arbiter's Grounds were a sort of international court/prison in Hyrule, where those who commited crimes against humanity were sent for punishment.

It was here that the Dark Lord Ganondorf was brought before the six great sages of Hyrule for execution. When the sages discovered Ganondorf had the Triforce of Power (at the cost of one of their own), Ganondorf was hastily banished into the Twilight Realm via the Twilight Mirror.

Later, Link and Midna would brave the dangers of the abandoned Arbiter's Grounds, only to find the Twilight Mirror had been partially destroyed by Zant, the Usurper King of the Twilight realm and pawn of Ganondorf. Upon finding the 3 remaining shards of the Twilight Mirror, Link and Midna were able to infiltrate the Twilight Realm at last, for an epic battle with Zant himself.

Installation:
----------
This pack includes only the model and texture files. It's up to you to decide which buildings will use it. The model file is a little small, so I suggest you alter the scale to 3.0 or 4.0 in the XML.

Rights and Thank-yous:
----------
The Arbiter's Grounds are a part of the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, copyright Nintendo 2006.

I would like to thank Nintendo for making such a great game and killer-looking dungeon, as well as C.Roland for his excellent Blender->Civ4 tutorial. You rock, man!

Disclaimer:
---------
Okay, forgive me if this looks nothing like the Arbiter's Grounds in TP. I only really noticed the top of it which was visible from Lake Hylia. For the rest I was too busy dodging bokoblins to really sketch it down.

I'd like the mirror effect but this model looks great,
