Excerpts from First Renaissance
The first day of Veranete, Terra Sollus’s hot season during the mid-year. That was typically the last day of cool weather this planet experienced before the temperature shot into the triple digits for the next four months. And to kick off the new season, the star known as Rynn rose in the east unopposed by any clouds. Within moments its fiery dawnlight began to wash over the sweeping cityscape of Conuropolis.
The enormous korvanes statues at the city’s outermost edges were the first recipients of the morning warmth. These monoliths were constructed out of the planet’s sollunium ore centuries before a human ever stepped foot on Terra Sollus; so all the statues unsurprisingly looked like gigantic Korvenites frozen in overly majestic poses. And while many Unionists found the sight of them to be rather unsettling, especially after the Earth Massacre, the korvanes statues remained untouched. Union officials commonly felt that they added a rather classical offset to the endless rows of lofty spacescrapers in Conuropolis.
