I want to make the bad men (and potentially unwanted love interests) fly!

[NoForgiveness]

Seconded!

Moon Door demanded from BSN.

DA2 was already ruined because it didn't have a moon door.

I think it's from that TV show, "Tournament of Seats."

It´s from a well known book-series / TV-show.

 

Basically someone build a castle on top of a high mountain and had one room with nothing but empty air beneath it and a hatch right in the centre of the floor so that anyone pushed through that door would fall for a long time before going splat on the ground below. That hatch is called the moon door.

See, I've read the books for years but my mind still went to 'traditional Chinese garden architecture'

Which one is that? Dexter? 

[Killdren88]

I can get behind this idea....but I'm more partial to the good old fashion executioners block.

Either that or you're too young. It's a weird range of people who will get the joke for various reasons.

 

That all said, I want snow castles and to slap out the suckling teeth of the kids who destroy them.

Doesn't sound structurally wise. I mean any tectonic or seismic activity and the entire part of the building can collapse.

The Snow castle was already ruined, it didn't have a moon door.

Mmm, not necessarily. As long as the moon door is next to an external wall that doesn't jut out very far from the main structure and has adequate support on either side, I don't see why it couldn't hurt. Like a balcony with a roof instead of a floor.

At this point, it is becoming economically inadvisable as well. I mean, what purpose does this thing serve that an executioner's block can't?

Adherence to stronghold theme, mainly. The Eyrie is all about that precipice-style danger.

Then just push them off the bridge. That thing has to be a couple hundred meters up.

Style points, also you don't have to clean it.

Less cleaning after the execution?

Extra suffering, during the fall ?

Easier waste deposition generally, since you can throw anything out of it from kitchen waste to broken furniture.

 

But GoT is full of such fantastic and unrealistic structures, like the Winterfell with it´s natural central heating, or the Twins, or the Wall.

There is no bridge. Just baskets.

Um, Skyhold has a huge bridge. It's the only way to get there from what I can see.

Oh, sorry, I was talking about the Eyrie from GoT, it's where this whole moon door idea came from.

This is a DAI thread, so I figured the OP was talking about having one in Skyhold or some keep.
