Thanks guys
Aloys: I think I've spent about a month or two on it... but that's just an estimate

TE sent me a PM with some suggestions as far as settings go, and I've taken them and made them my own. I went and added some translucent water to surround the 'island' (or so I've been calling it), and placed under it a rock plain. Surrounding everything right now is a starfield. I think it looks pretty good now, but I might change it later to become more detailed...
Here's a few in game shots to better explain that above paragraph

^Me somewhere in the age^

^Me somewhere else in the age^

^Me on the stone bridge leading to the central spire^

^Me climbing down an untextured ladder (gotta fix that)^
