After Dark



It is night in Saschen-Vindow. The Bells have tolled and the people hurry into the walled towns and villages before the gates are closed. Chains are stretched across the streets to deter robbers and invaders, attempting to impede their progress. The Watch have gathered across the Duchy ready to guard their neighbourhood from ills of the Dark...

On the road a dashing figure is observed riding in the company of others. A full dark wig (unfashionable for these times) and a suit of dark clothes topped off with a plumed hat completes the outfit. No one would ever recognise the Duchess of Saschen-Vindow under such outlandish garments and no one would wish to meet her on the road tonight.

Where is she headed? And to what purpose? Inquiring minds want to know.

A night image as dreadful as the 'Chasse Gallery' / 'Great Hunt'...
