Cyclamen
by Michael Raaflaub

About the image:

Story: 
Since the Norms were pushed back entirely to their cities, they reinitiated an old nature magic. It enables them to eliminate their foes already far in the heartland. Since this magic demands the sacrifice of a newborn human being, it was forbidden ages ago and disappeared into oblivion. Only the great despair that came with the beginning of the Fourth Dominance War gave reason to revive the disputed magic. "Cyclamen" 
Race: Norm
 Class: Clericon 

Right after birth, the newborn child must be poisoned with a cyclamen and left in a magical stone circle on a hill in the heartland.
After some months, nature takes posession of the child and grants him tremendous power – the power of nature and life. Part animal, part human, part plant, the cyclamen grows out of the soil.
A single glance is enough to transform the life energy of the attacker into nature’s energy.

The forgotten Legacy of Gustav Eiffel
Mon, 26 Jan 2009
I imagined how it would be, if the Eiffel tower as we know it were just a small part of a long forgotten construction built underneath today's urban surface; And maybe there is really more than we imagine below ground.

Project 2017
Wed, 18 Feb 2009
Project 2017 was an urban planning program concerned with the redevelopment of asian slum districts. An enormous urban growth lead to increasing ground prices around the megacities. The government regarded the slums sprawling in those areas with increasing resentment. It intitatet Project 2017. In order to gain space, the slum dwellings were piled up one ontop another. Fearing dropping values of the new won construction spaces, the slums were surrounded by a façade of residential buildings. The "conclaves" had come into being. Outside, the construction zones were littered with skyscrapers, expensive apartment estates and shopping malls. By and by, also the conclaves were overbuilt. The former slums disappeared into oblivion.  Also when the world economy collapsed more than one hundred years later, nobody could remember the run-down and underdeveloped parts of the megacity. Nor their obscure economic system, which has symbiotically  kept alive the city and, interconnected with which, the whole world.  But the slum dwellers have survived. Buried deep beneath the urban undergrowth, they have found new means of existence. Today, they almost live like they did a century ago. Only have the neon lights over their heads become their heaven, the ventilators their suns, solely shedding light onto this long forgotten civilisation.
