Much can be said about the feud between land and sea.
In today’s popular media, Violets usually are the victors of any story they may feature in, out of fear of Imperial censorship. However, in Ancient times the narrative landscape was more even. Take for example this Ancient Troll Roman painting presenting the myth of Andromeda.
The painting is somewhat sequential - on the left is Perseus entering, either into the city or into battle. In the top right we clearly see Perseus with the Highblood Cepheus, who sends Perseus to kill Andromeda. Center-stage is the sea witch herself, calling upon her fearsome lusus to eat the interloper. Below her on the right is her Indigo captive, Cassiopeia, chained to the rock.

Hello and salutations, dear reader. Welcome to my little alcove in these turbulent seas.
I’ve noticed a sore lack of information available to the public on Alternian history beyond the basic school feedings, and would like to extend my reef of knowledge on the subject.
I specialize in Ancient history, but I’ve of course dabbled in other periods. From Caegar to modernity and everything before us, I try to learn and share as much as I can.
I myself am only recently remembering much of this, so apologies if not everything is wholly accurate or oversimplified. I’ve lost access to my library and cannot supply many, if any, citations. My apologies.
Thank you for reading. And if you have any questions, you are whalecome to my inbox.
Sorry for my rigidi7y, bu7 I’ve decided to only vse my qvirk for personal/informal thovgh7s. I’ve no7 been on 7his websi7e long, bvt i7 seems 7o SORELY be lacking on 7he qvirk accessabili7y 7ech. Very odd, bv7 no ma77er.
Academic pos7vring aside, 7his blog is in7ended mos7ly to collect my gradvally re7vrning memories. As I men7ioned, I no longer have access 7o my library or even the 7rolls7or websi7e. 7his new place I’ve fovnd myself in is…. S7range.
Never7heless, I can’7 give vp my academic pvrsvi7s 7hat easily! I’ll do my bes7 7o docvmen7 all I can here.
Qves7ions are encovraged, as is any REEFSPEC7FVL discvssion.
