[ESL-FB] Disguising the truth about Fort Féline
Maxim I posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
Disguising the truth about Fort Féline On a beautifull Friday morning, the first of april, some officers of MAESTRO gathered in the "Intelligence office of Damaborg". They talked about the development of Damaborg so far and the tasks still to do before being fully prepared to start exploring the unknown. "We need a huge fort to protect Damaborg! If our soldiers are gone exploring, some extra defence is much needed!". Other officers agreed on this. Altough the wooden wall around Damaborg offered an excellent first defence, some sort of fort would be very welcome. The accountant of MAESTRO, mr. Stingyos, tempered the enthousiasm. "Altough we still are filthy rich, I fear that we should keep an eye on our expenses. We are the only trade company in Eslandola that pays their own fort upkeep and together with the Eslandolan 1% tax and the upkeep of our troops, we are having a loss month after month. Our fleet, both warships and tradeships, were occupied in troop transport the past year. First sending our army to Terraversa, and then sending that same army to the "Lowers". That meant a huge loss of income" "aaaawwww". As a bunch of children forbidden to play outside on a sunny day, the officers were grumbling. Suddenly one of the officers had a brilliant idea. "What if we make a fort that looks big and frightening, but in fact it is very cheap to build and maintain? If we put some gigantic elements together and we place a wooden palisade in front of it, to disguise the gigantic elements? No one has to know that it isn't an actual big fort?" "Hoooray!!!" And so a gigantic fort was built with gigantic colourfull elements. Where those elements came from? No one really knows. Some rumours talk about a baby giant living deep inside "The Lowers" who use those elements as toys. Who knows? The brave MAESTRO Soldiers started disguising the colourfull bricks with a wooden palisade. - Consider this as some kind of April fool My baby giant (my little daughter) loves to play with those bricks. I build big castles and she destroys them. Hopefully that will change in the future and we can build together haha Might be licenced as a small/medium fort in Damaborg if the court gives their approval.
