CAROLUSTADT AT DAWN

---

The gates of the new capital of Renatus-Marna, 6th of Snow’s Maiden, 1676

 

---

Even before the sun rose in the Huckery Highlands the sounds of construction came. The chirping of forest birds and the creaks and cracks of the deciduous forest were drowned out by crashing, clanking, and shouts of workers. They were building an enormous series of structures which would become the new capital of the most powerful kingdom in Atlas. Every day they toiled from dawn to dusk, eager to get a functioning city created so that the temporary stagnation within their kingdom would be lifted. Some designed blueprints, some gathered resources, and some laid the bricks and mortar that would create the base and defenses of the new city. 

 

As the sun rose, just before noon, some of the men took their first break. Sitting on top the roofs of the city’s first houses, they chowed down on their lunches. “Ey, any clue what they’re gonna call this place?” slurred a Illatian man, short and stocky, eating what appeared to be a salami sandwich. “No fuckin’ clue. Probably somethin’ Waldenian.” responded another Illatian, this one a bit taller then the last and sporting a sizable potbelly. “I overheard them.” said a different worker, this one little more than a teenager. “Carolustadt, I think. Carolustadt.” he said the name again, letting it roll off his tongue, his gaze turned on the complex which would become the new cantina. “Carolustadt. Y’know, I like it.” said the one eating his sandwich, the entire trio now looking to the square and the church beyond it, the stained glass windows glistening in the morning dawn. It looked like they were halfway done now. But there was still much work to be done. 

 

((The new Renatian capital is going ahead full steam and we have made significant amounts of progress. We’re likely to finish it at most 2-3 weeks. There might not be much RP whilst we are under construction but we have a lot planned for the new city so stay tuned!))

Aran Talraen de Rennes, famous Administrator, knightslayer, crusader and baron, stood atop the palace plateau of Carolstadt with his entourage of stewards, nodding in approval as he compared the new capital's blueprints to the progress before his eyes. "It is only fitting that the greatest nation of Man will boast the greatest capital of all," he mused out loud.

((can't wait to see it finished.))

[Publius 4098]

"Marnan decadence did not suit the humble King Aurelius; this man led Renatus to hegemony from a war camp. That concrete jungle they tried to hold court in was good for a few monkeys I am sure, but who really had time to rediscover dozens of empty streets? Marna exhausted itself into decay trying to populate it, I am glad that the King was in wise enough council to not to be compelled to waste any more time with the task. GOD willing, this shall be a jewel of humanity."

 

The traditional Ilatian Bracchus fellow would continue his farm work, offering bread and wine to workers on leave with a broad smile.
