And then... who actually brought down the old kingdom to build their own? Forget history books for a second; in this tale, it feels like someone had to do it.
Oh, and there's always that shadowed project – building Yellow Springs as a deliberate counterpoint to imperial power. Was it the calculated move that set sparks flying across the land?
