Subject: Best historical civilisation.

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

The ancient Greeks. Their mythology, philosophy and architecture is amazing.

Ancient China and ancient Japan has always interested me more than most. Something about Asian history makes it wonderful.

Imperial China has always fascinated me, I find the history and culture to be very interesting and fascinating, everything from the Warring States Period and the forming of the empire, to the Han, Tang, and Ming Dynasties, to the Manchu invasion and Qing Dynasty, right up until the Republican Era, and much more.

Romans, China. Any of the various barbarians. Medieval Europe. Hell, it's all interesting.

The Roman Legionaires are the ones who invented the modern military system (primarily of leadership and training) that we use today. A lot of how the Roman military worked is implemented into modern armies. Battlefield tactics loosely translated into modern day tactics as well (the use of Javelins at range, until finally closing in and fighting the enemy, such as the use of Artillery, HMG, MMG, etc. then closing in with bayonets/small arms).

Probably the Spartans. For their warrior culture of course, and I've always been a big fan of the Battle of Thermopylae.


I wear a patch on my right shoulder that reads, "Molon Lave" which in translation means "Come and take it". It's in reference to what King Leonidas told Xerxes when he told the Spartans to lay down their weapons. /fun fact
