The ‘Stone Brazier’ suggestion in the mason development thread had me doodling these past few days instead of studying. Now that I’ve finished my exams, I took some time to attempt to model my sketches. Here’s what I’ve come up with:
Fancy stone brazier - A warm sensation fills you as you stand near this mystical pillar.
I’ve implemented an open-top design to brighten up the area, with four small corner posts to keep the firewood in place.
Note the metal rings on either side. These can be used to moor boats by your docks, tie horses outside the town gates, or to chain off areas between these pillars.
It was quite hard to make any designs in sketchup, but ideally the sides would have carved relief designs.
The fancy version is meant to have carved eyes and more jewels, more suitable for lighting the mage district in town.
Constructed by: Journeyman Mason
Cost to build: 2 Stone
Cost to operate: 1 wood / night - Must be stocked up and lit, as with campfires
Effects:
Light - Greater radius than lantern.
Fire - Keeps the Trolls at bay!
Stats boost - Buffs up your footmen as they stand guard.
I had been thinking of something closer to the ground, high enough to hold your hands over to warm them

Its only 2 ft tall, based on the full-sized braziers above. The carvings could definitely use some more work, though they’re too complex to be in SH models anyways!
