The Course of Empire is a series of five paintings created by Thomas Cole and The series of paintings depicts the growth and fall of an imaginary city.

The first painting,The Savage, depicts the ideal state of the natural world. It is a healthy world, unchanged by humanity.

The second painting The Arcadian or Pastoral State, shows humanity at peace with the land.

The third painting, The Consummation of Empire, shifts the viewpoint to the opposite shore, approximately the site of the clearing in the first painting. The look of the painting suggests the height of Ancient Rome. The decadence seen in every detail of this cityscape foreshadows the inevitable fall of this mighty civilization.

In the fourth painting, Destruction, it seems that a fleet of enemy warriors has overthrown the city's defenses, sailed up the river, and is busy ransacking the city and killing its inhabitants.

The fifth painting, Desolation, shows the results decades later. This gloomy picture suggests how all empires could be after their fall. It is a harsh possible future in which humanity has been destroyed by its own hand.

Questioner: In Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, when Yumi is flying out into the Shroud, Hoid makes a comment. He said, "She didn't even have to burn tin." Does that mean that the mists on Scadrial is made of something similar or even the same thing as the dispersed souls on Yumi's planet?

Brandon Sanderson: Yeah, something similar. The idea is that being able to see through the Investiture happens when you are kind of aligning to it in certain ways, it stops disrupting as much, and you gain some sort of extrasensory perception, that it doesn't interfere with you as it might with someone else. And it's really nothing more than that; she's aligning with this, and in Mistborn, it's aligning to theirs. It doesn't mean she'd be able to see through the mists.

Questioner: That's kind of the answer to my second question, which was: does that mean that any highly Invested individual could see through Scadrian mist, whether they be using Breath or Stormlight...?

Brandon Sanderson: Not necessarily. There are ways you could do it, but not necessarily.

Adam Klaits: In Yumi, Hoid says he doesn’t know why the star was visible from Komanshi through the Shroud. Do you know? And can you tell us?

Brandon Sanderson: I do know. It has to do, a little bit, with the same reason why the mist is transparent to some people and not others.

Found some time to work on an old T'au battleforce I bought a long while ago and excavated from the games room late last year! These guys are just for me. My ability to complete commissions so consistently lately has gotten me a lot more confident and excited to finish up my pile of shame from my teenage years.

Lore-wise they usually have their suits match the environment, but the colour-scheme I chose is analogous and relies on providing contrast through values, so I used the bases and the pops of heated metal to provide the warmth that the rest of the scheme lacks. Helps them feel balanced to me :>

#i like the idea of an ethereal going rogue with a small force of like-minded t'au. that might be these guys #will have to think up a name for 'em #miniature painter #artists on tumblr #queer artists #my art #personal projects #warhammer 40k #t'au empire #xv25 stealth battlesuits
