End of Empire

Posted on June 26, 2010 by Eric

Some kind of Gene Wolfe parlor of tarnished escutcheons, faceless poise, and rotting velvet, with remnants of ruling families maintaining the procedures of dignity as any trace of distinction and inbred purpose fade. Ancestral identity becomes mere cashflow and costume. … Continue reading →

First, make it, then, later, maybe ask questions about it. Or leave it alone.
