#sarafan

I am a horrible person and it makes me sad (<- forgot to post this on Sunday)

Anyways. At long last. I have finished it.

Day 14: Reverse Prayer

This one needs some explaining: we all know Elder Kain travels through the time stream, right? Well, what if a group of Sarafan would learn that not only is this strange vampire a Balance Guardian, but also the Scion of Balance?

How would they react to this information?

Would they consider him a blasphemous Demiurge and try to kill him? Or would they submit to this dark version of a prophesied savior?

Created by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii as part of his work to document the Russian Empire from 1909 to 1915

Using a railway-car darkroom provided by Emperor Nicholas II, Prokudin-Gorsky travelled the Russian Empire from around 1909 to 1915 using his three-image colour photography to record its many aspects. While some of his negatives were lost, the majority ended up in the US Library of Congress after his death. Starting in 2000, the negatives were digitised and the colour triples for each subject digitally combined to produce hundreds of high-quality colour images of Russia and its neighbours from over a century ago.
