Two guards posted along the rim of a floating island. A religious cult has built a temple and surrounding dwellings on this island, and they float across the continent indoctrinating and spiriting away new followers. Of course, the more established religions on land encourage all to resist the new cult and attacks on the island are common. These guards especially have to look out for fires being set in the path of the island. It floats and steers very slowly with the use of huge lode stones. Peasants on the ground are taught by the churches to set forest fires in the islands path to suffocate the inhabitants.
These guards use very rare and expensive cartridge rifles (plundered, the industry of cartridge ammunition is long forgotten) to pick off scouts or shepards who appear to be hurrying to warn towns of the island's advance. The cultists undergo a series of skin bleachings so that they begin to resemble dolls or puppets. The female is the example of successful treatments, and the figure on the tree is covered up due to severely disfiguring mistakes made in the process.

What do you suppose would happen if they ran into a town or something that had figured out cartridge rifles? And had beenanufacturing sniper rifles? Or hell, even those breachloading flintlocks from the island in the sea of time seiries? Hmmmm....

This has to be one of my favorite Pieces. Since it has a good backing story and the feel it creates when you look at it.

one of my favorite pieces. the attention to detail is amazing, the folds in the clothes and the roots digging in and hanging off the cliff.

great story behind it too.
