Imperial Report: Neo Changeling Empire
This document has been released to the public under orders from his highness, Kaiser Echo Allfather. Not for the self, but for ones homeland…..
The Neo Changeling Empire rose from the ashes of Hive Unity after the great civil war erupted during the age of strife. It’s ascension started the age of doubt as the first Kaiser overthrew Queen Unity and installed himself as ruler. That man was Kaiser Onyx Allfather.
After starting the civil war himself, attacking the hive palace and banishing the queen, Onyx declared his intentions to rise to the surface world above them and make their mark on it either through conquest and perpetual war with the surface, or establishing themselves as equals to those on the surface. Unfortunately for the new ruler neither of these was an option upon meeting those from the surface world who had ventured deep below ground.
The surface was inhabited by humans, a species not encountered in large numbers before. The few humans who discovered the newly created empire told them of a world far superior to them in every way. No amount of effort would yield the future Onyx wanted in their current state. Without hesitation Onyx began his plans to emulate the surface and form his new empire with the strongest aspects of humanity in mind. This proved to be one step in the right direction, but unknown to the hive these aspects also reflected the worst parts of human history.
It did not take long for the new changeling empire to emerge from its metamorphosis as a Jingoistic State hellbent on conquest and expansion at any cost. The Neo Changeling Empire would plague the multiverse for years all the way up until the death of Onyx Allfather during the One Day War. The empire expanded, made war on peaceful lands, won and lost many conflicts and ultimately ended its own reign of terror once Kaiser Echo assumed full control of the empire alongside his brother, the co-ruler of the empire.
To this day, Hive Allfather has remained dormant. It’s focus has shifted to itself now, with the hopes of perfecting the aspects of a nation it had neglected during the reign of Onyx Allfather. Although this has not spelled the end of trouble brewing within the empire itself as factions have already begun emerging with the hopes of awaking the sleeping empire.
What I’ve Been Up To (Fourteen)
Honestly? I’ve been trying to get new content you all. Issue is, I found out the hard way that with the new format that I’m trying to use to tell stories, there’s almost zero chance of me just doing stories on the fly (which is how I’ve been doing most of my Rising Stars posts up until this point). All this means is that I’ll have to properly play out the dialogue and whatnot prior to taking the shots which, although is my preferred way to do things, was also a reason why I was able to belt out Rising Stars posts so often (because it just came to me, I didn’t have to think too much about it).
That being said, my ongoing issues with weightpainting aside… Above you can see 6 images of scrapped Rising Stars entries, and 2 images featuring something that I plan to introduce in upcoming Rising Stars entries (it’ll make sense, I promise).
NOTE: NONE of the images above will be used in upcoming Rising Stars posts
