Oriental Mysteries

June -07





Having deemed the CWC expedition a resounding success, and a locale well worth further investigation and investment, yours truly is now on the way back to the gentle embrace of the Society Headquarters - but only briefly, in order to fill in grant forms and sponsorship requests for further escapades.




















The way back winds through the far east, the City of Emperors (and of Exhaust Particle Laden Air). Glimpsed only briefly, the vast city evokes awe and regret simultaneously, both for past glory and for future troubles: this dragon grows too fast for its good. One is particularly impressed by the lyrical euphemism for 'military might' (ref. illustration, bottom right).
