Castlegaurd

I've started on a new area of the map outside of Apvia in the 1.8 region. The new world generations are just spectacular. I have run into an issue with the water, however, since it seems to be one block lower than the old 1.7 water, so anywhere in the world where 1.7 water meets 1.8 there is a ridge of water. It looks like a tsunami ready to wash ashore.

The gates of Castlegaurd (Apvia is about 1km away over the water)

Large storage room under the gate.

Some distance from the gates this keep sits on the side of a ginormous chasm.

A random town generated by the game - sadly no citizens though.
