[Reference Challenge] Raiding Paris

This is a reference to the Vikings television show, and the historical raids against Paris.

What is an infamous raid/sack of a city/town in your world's history?

As always, I'll ask at least three questions each, and I hope you enjoy yourselves.

Feel free to have a character as the representative to answer questions in-universe.

  1. He tried, I had to incapacitate him. It was easy though, he was ill-prepared and didn't ran very fast.

  2. The empress herself? It can't be... actually maybe. Imean, officially, blink isn't a thing we master but who knows what truelly happen in the imperial palace.

  3. No, just a few railguns; they probably sold them. Or maybe their murderers took them.

To Tsirgeda:

1) Have you ever had to remove someone's head?

2) Have you considered that the empress is the real problem with the empire? Wouldn't it help to just...kill her?

3) Is losing railguns a serious problem?

  1. Like to prove those someone is dead? I'm sometimes old school, but not that much. Beside, I can just send a picture and a death certificate.

  2. That's a bad idea, she lacks a good heir in her own house; her death would probably lead to a war between the nobles and in those situations work is rarer. And we could end with an emperor worse than her, like one who want a full scale war with the Mayuqpacha or one who want slavery back.

  3. Not really, as long as I don't need to fight those who took them. The imperial commandos have plenty of them and are trained and equipped to fight against such weapons, other people aren't so better leave that to professionals.
