Sunset of Empires
It was a typical sight in the spring. Long columns of soldiers were marching off and back and off again. The beauty of the flowers, the gulls gliding in the afternoon sun, the roar of the waves carrying grand ships to distant lands all seem to have one purpose…to mask the horror of it all.
It was considered a great honor to be presented with a fallen soldier’s sword, but what once was as triumphant as the bells ringing from sacred places eventually became a dread. Cheers were replaced by mournful wails. And for what? War and profiteering had no end. And as the peasants looked towards the opulence of the capital with its tall towers and grand facades, many wondered what it was all for - and if anyone would miss it if it were gone.
EDIT! Thank you everyone for all the kind words and congratulations! <3
For anyone interested in seeing a little behind the scenes action of this you can check out this post on Instagram and a few others that show some of the builds in progress:
