“What did you learn about at school today, my darling”

“In History, we learnt about Grand Magnate Lorenzo, and how it's thanks to him that the Diites continued to rise to greatness rather than being forgotten forever.”

“Did they also tell you about his work with Riccardo that led to an incredible advance in weapons technology inspired by the visitors from Beyond? I’ve heard it said that it's only thanks to that we’ve never had an all-out war with the Heights.”

“They said that during his reign, the Wetlands navies were the most powerful ever known, and that it was him who introduced the flying ship carriers, but they didn’t tell us about the weapons.”

“Do you want to read one of his biographies to do your book report on? I’ve got one that also mentions how he trained his heir to successfully build on his greatness.”

“Thanks mum, you’re the best”
