Keymonus Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Salida Este, Ferro Azure, July 622 Count Carlos Alonso de Montoya was hopeful, for the first time in six years. As everyone with a bit of good sense could expect, the Councils had finally proved to be useless chatting rooms: the trade companies continued to do as they pleased, but without the King putting a limit to their foolish enterprises. They promised everyone freedom and justice, and they continued to rule with selfishness and greed. But now the tide is turning, and the monarchists would have their chance: with the so-called democratic institutions stalled, the Eslandolans would have soon understood that they needed their king. Count de Montoya and his fellows would use all their political power to restore His Blessed Majesty King Fernando Augusto VII to His rightful throne… no longer as a puppet, but as a ruler of the Empire! To get the power for Him and put it back into His hands, for a brighter future for Eslandola! Vote for los realistas! For the King and for the order of the Nation! —————————— Los Realistas (the Royalists) of Salida Este aim to restore King Fernando as an absolute ruler, to burn the Magna Charta and reduce the power of the trade companies. This is probably more extremist than what King Fernando himself wants… they are therefore “more royalist than the King”!

Ayrlego Posted July 11, 2022 Great brick built flag - I love the use of the gold 'coin' in the centre. For the Royalists! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kai NRG Posted July 12, 2022 Fun take on the King's party--and some great minifigures! The guy with the ruff is especially cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that crown in the center of the Eslandolan flag seems to make a statement as well Great choice of colors for the floor too, looks suitably highflown for those toting royalty And where is the grey torso on the guy in the background from? That is really sweet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Nearly-Headless Nick from the Harry Potter Hogwarts sets. It has matching legs, and there's a couple of different colour versions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
