Real Power of The North: Cover.
Kings are symbols.
People around them - are the real "flesh" of the country.
Together with Russian Community "The Andrzej Sapkowski's Universe" I start a series of outstanding figure's portrayals.
My goal is to give my humble piece of respectful admiration to their deeds and characters.
And probably to draw some more attention to the politics in that world. And dilute the Ciri(femFantasy)mania a little
The full list will include:
Thaler - the head of Temerian Intelligence. The Master Spy.
Sigismund Dijkstra - the head of Redanian Intelligence, or secret service.
Vincent Meis - the head of the City Guard in Vizima
John Natalis - Supreme commander of the cumulative forces of the North at the Battle of Brenna. Hero of The North. Regent of Temeria.
Siegfried of Denesle - the Grand Master of the Order of the Flaming Rose
Jacques de Aldersberg - the previous Grand Master of the Order of the Flaming Rose.
Vernon Roche - the commander of the Blue Stripes, special forces of the Temerianmilitary
Rayla, known first as Black Rayla and later as White Rayla - a natural-born soldier and a veteran of thewars with Nilfgaard. She was an officer of the special forces of king Demawend of Aedirn. Real hunter of elves.
Lance-corporal Zyvik - a member of the Dun Banner, the quartermaster's service of king Henselt's army.
Why aren't there any mages?
hmmm....:hmm:
maybe because I don't believe in mage's power. They're strong only until the next Inquisition of the real power comes.
And... I'm sorry... But we all know the way sorceresses get to their positions at Court.
So as long as I can choose freely whom to respect I will chose these persons over others.
