Patrons of a Golden Age

golden_century_events.8

The wealth of our age draws masters from every corner of Europe. Target Location has come to be a cultural hub for painters and sculptors, architects and poets, each seeking the favor of Target Ruler and a place in the brilliance of our century.

A word from us and the workshops fill with eager artists ready to immortalize our splendor. What we choose to fund now will outlast every treaty and every war, for long after our armies are forgotten, this is the affluence by which the age will remember us.
