Count von Balderdash, secretary of war for Monrovia, had come under immense scrutiny following the failed attempts by Monrovia over the last couple of campaign seasons to successfully invade and annexe Zomverre and Pelardon; there were allegations of skimming funds, accepting bribes, awarding fake contracts etc. Fearing for his liberty the Count decided to escape across the border into Wittenberg.
After getting into Wittenberg territory he had been picked up by the authorities and was being held at Villa Rondiso, near Kirkhof, under guard awaiting transport to take him to the capital.

A lovely set up. I really like the cathedral square.
What a splendid wee town. Those 'bas-relief' buildings in the back adds real depth to the scene - a fine method giving the town extra substance whilst conserving space. The architecture looks good, too.
I love your spatial arrangements so much - it looks really great! Very fine scenarios and seducing anecdotes around them.
Again: I am ravished!!
