Europa

The halls had once been crowded at the Church of the Revealing Light. During times of war, people were naturally drawn to the church, like moths to a flame. The memories still throbbed in the back of Vect’s mind, a time when warlords drowned nations in blood and engines of war marched the land.

This can be seen in how she depicts the face of each subject, including even the lowly servant. Europa, the youngest sister, faces her excited grin toward Minerva, illustrating an unapologetic interest for the ongoing game. In similar fashion, Minerva looks toward the next oldest sister, Lucia. Minerva has an almost awestruck expression. As we can…
