The Lost Prince | The Perska Vadiya | WorldBuilding
Tumblr media
Through the thousand years of Imperial rule, the Perska Vadiya stood guard. Formed from the most elite in the Imperial army, the Perska Vadiya was the honour every soldier aspired to reach. It was a brotherhood of five hundred, a close-knit and secret society serving the royal family as guardsmen, soldiers, generals and confidants, safeguarding the royal person and their secrets. For a thousand years, the Perska Vadiya defended and enforced the Vasily family rule over Vastia - until the Revolution.
Two hundred Perska Vadiya died with Prince Andrik during the failed peace talks. Betrayal came from within their own ranks, one of their former brothers, General Dehn, switching his allegiance from the royalist cause and making his own bid for power with the rebel leaders. Dehn was instrumental into bringing down the capital and the royal family. Under the attack, the remaining hundred Perska Vadiya broke and ran in the face of the approaching rebel army leaving the remaining members of the royal family and Palace undefended. Many royalists set the blame on the new policy of recruiting from soldiers of the lower classes. But most agree that the fault lay in the choice of sending all the experienced Perska Vadiya away to other royal strongholds on the assumption that no rebel army could breach the capital - they had not accounted for treachery.
Currently the remnants, some fifty Perska Vadiya, serves the Crown Prince Mikhail in exile.
Current Active Members
Captain Olterburg
Tumblr media
The Commander of the Perska Vadiya, an old soldier serving the royal family for forty-six years. He gained command of the Perska Vadiya after the Revolution and has led it, past retirement age ever since. Gruff and proper, he's a welcome member of the Imperial set.
Lieutenant Zybrik
Tumblr media
Zybrik is the second in command, the last Perska Vadiya to be trained by the traitor Dehn. At 25, he's the youngest lieutenant to serve in the Perska Vadiya. Despite his mentor and common background, Zybrik is a staunch supporter and fierce defender of his Prince.
Emil
Tumblr media
Emil is third in command. He had been just inducted into the Perska Vadiya mere months before the Revolution broke out. Emil is the most empathetic Perska Vadiya, often chosen for more private and personal tasks.
Vladimir
Tumblr media
Vladimir is one of the older Perska Vadiya. After the Revolution, he was offered honourable discharge on account of an injury to his eye but he refused. He is often mistaken to be cold and aloof but according to his brothers in the Perska Vadiya - he's hilarious. Nobody has seen this in practise.
Casimir
Tumblr media
Casimir had joined the Perska Vadiya after the Revolution, one of the raw recruits brought in to bulk up the empty ranks. Casimir had been chosen mainly on account of his father and two brothers who had perished in the service of Prince Andrik.
Alsandr
Tumblr media
The youngest of the remaining Perska Vadiya, two years older than Crown Prince Mikhail, which is why he tends to have trouble keeping His Imperial Highness in check. Generally considered to be the most amiable of the Perska Vadiya, he's nearly always calls on to attend the abrasive Grand Duke Sergei.
Kyril
Tumblr media
Kyril also joined the Perska Vadiya post-Revolution. Kyril had been a common-born farm labourer before the Revolution but after brave action during the flight from Vastia, he was offered a place among the Perska Vadiya - mistakenly some say on account of his surname being mistaken for an aristocratic one. He was permitted to stay on due to his feverent monarchist loyalty and skill.

Penacony spoilers
Fixing what I said ab the voice calling out to “Mikhail”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The name Mickhail (Mikhail) is a variant of the anme Michael and Misha is derived from the name Saint Michael aka Archangel Michael aka the Angel of Sunday
Basically I think the watchmaker’s name was Mikhail and Misha and Sunday are both named after him. It’s a pretty common theory that Misha’s grandfather was the watchmaker so that explains why he’d be named after him. But Sunday could be a couple of reasons, Mikhail is likely his real name, he could’ve been named that by his parents/the family because they wanted some type of association with the name or it could be something more complicated which is more likely. Probably some weird immortal/reincarnation dreamscape shit. Idk.
Anyway.
I think the one calling out for “Mikhail” for most of the time we hear the voice is Misha’s memories of his grandfather
Tumblr media
Whilst the voice calling out to “Mikhail” in the doors area is Robin calling out to Sunday when she’s dying
Tumblr media
I believe the things going wrong in the dreamscape is because of this box both mention. (Presumably) Misha asks about the box and what’s in it. (Presumably) Robin yells that “Mikhail” said not to open it. I’m not sure which Mickhail Robin is talking about here since the box seems to have originally been the watchmaker’s but is now in the possession of the family so either could’ve said something about not opening it.
This is probably gonna be a reference to Pandora’s box (I’ll be real surprised if it’s not) so I want to mention that one of the sorrows of Pandora’s box is death and the memory zone meme that attacks us in the doors area and later kills Firefly is called “Something Unto Death” it’s likely that we heared Robin begging for the box not to be opened. It was opened and she was fatally injured, the boss probably wanted to get away from the box so left imediately which is when we have our first run in with it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Basically I think more is going to come out of the box similar to this boss
Woah a little off track.. say hi to Mikhail, Mikhail and Mikhail!
Anyways tell me if I got anything wrong please 🙏🙏🙏

Well, okay then. Now here's yet another poll! I'll ask what scenes you all want to see in our VNC x BSD fic. You won't be given much context, only what is written in the options- I will give the context when I write whatever scenario you all choose, though.
If you have any questions or comments about what you'd like to see, please voice your opinions, we'd love to hear what you have to say.

Angel of Sorrow, Mikhail Nesterov, 1900.
When the work was in process, Mikhail Nesterov was hopelessly in love with the young Lyolya — Yelena Prakhova, the daughter of the Russian art historian Adrian Prakhov, who headed the building committee of the Saint Volodymyr’s Cathedral in Kyiv. It was her image that became a source of inspiration for the artist. He depicted his beloved in the form of Alkonost, a mythical bird of paradise. The picture is distinguished by a cold and restrained color palette, an accentuated paleness of the face, and a humble and slightly tense posture.
