Elostirion Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 "The present state of Kaliphlin is in flux. It takes money, men, and will to wage a war; all of which have been spent over the last year." [skaForHire] Kolhamin of Petrea, as he now called himself, had lost a lot during the war. Not money. Actually, he was still rich. But power and influence. Which is what his life is about. He didn't like living in Petrea, nor did his wife or his brother, who spent most of his time on the roof terrace under the shade of the lemon tree nowadays. Pretending to be a cloth merchant was far from ideal. But Kolhamin knew that sacrifices had to be made, for the greater good of his people, and himself. Kolhamin turned on the balcony and went back inside his Petrea mansion. Maybe really not all was in vain, yet, at least. The ambassador of the Black Legion of Ulandus had just held an amazing speech. Of course, the listeners in the streets didn't even know that the man who had just talked to them was one of Ulandus most brilliant warlords. None of the listeners even realised that he talked against the Desert King and the High Councial. But he had. It would take time to prepare the people, to slowly undermine their thoughts and plant the seed of uproar against the Councilmen or the ancient King in the Desert. But it would be worth... Back inside Kolhamin waited for some minutes, until his wife in her beautiful white-and-red dress joined him. A quick smile, an elusive kiss, and they both desceded the cold staircase into their large basement. He looked around at all the slaves doing their work, as he had ordered. "Three more are ready, my lord. We are making good progress", the overseer told him. Kolhamin nodded. That was good. War needed preparation. And preparation was made. Even within the heart of Kaliphlin, where they least expected it.

Blufiji Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Nice architecture, especially the balcony. The touches of lavender are cool too. Quote
Captain Dee Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Beautiful house! Tan, dark red, and gold look great together, and I'm inclined to agree that the lavender stripes and other accents look nice. The flowers, balconies, and crowd of people look great - and the enclosed garden on the roof is lovely, even if the tree is a bit optimistic. Very good work. Quote
Bregir Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Nice build! I'm am not too fond of your political agenda, but at least we share a common adversary in the desert king! One wonders what contraptions they are preparing in that basement! Quote
Blufiji Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Nailed the city architecture style hands down. Quote
Elostirion Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 Thanks for the kind words, glad you like it. :-) Quote
