Wow. That dude was all about some branding, huh?

The flags ARE EVERYWEHRE and some are several stories high. not to mention the crazy detail of all the formations.

Dude had some serious awe-inducting power. Can't imagine what the world would look like if he had one.


Go ahead, I'm sure one of you will link a fictional book that discusses this very thing
