Who: Everyone
Where: In the Sacred City
When: King’s Year 199, Mid Winter
What:

[It had been a slow start through the fall. Nations full of people needing to settle and find shelter. And many despaired... how could such an enormous project be completed by the end of a mere two seasons when most were still milling about supplies and accommodations?

But as they do, gears shifted as the temperatures rose... as night became a nostalgic memory... Natural ingenuity blended with mad genius with simple practicality and by early winter, the great keystone... a project of masonry that had taken nearly as much time as the construction of the great stone walls themselves was complete and secured into place for the rest of the walls to be completed around it.

Construction had slowed ... even with ants to carve and carry, even with machinery of steam and clockwork and nearly a quarter of the world in labor.... the hours that COULD be worked became less and less... and working became less of a normal function and one of devotion, heroism and madness.

But today.... the last blocks had been placed, the keystone was in place and ready... Since last night the world has been thrown into blessed darkness. The air is uncomfortably warm, but no longer scalds to breathe, and the light comes from torches and magic.

Today, many people have gathered below the keystone, eyes turned upward.

Today, the supports are removed.]

	No, we'd evacuated by then. It was kind of beautiful, in a sad sort of way. Everyone's storeroom went up, within hours of each other. mostly just looks sad. And rather sunburned, but who isn't? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	it's dark, and he can get away with this, leaning in for a brief, chaste kiss We're fine. The nice thing about living so close to the Great Mountain and the Ophiuchus temples is that we don't tend to disbelieve a sign from the gods. The sight of the Tower, red as blood... It's not a sight I'll forget in this lifetime... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
