Johann Heinrich von Sternwald (1782–1856), court painter of the Arch-Principality of Vulgaria, captured in oil the twilight of feudal honour and the dawn of romantic nationalism. From armoured knights to candlelit scribes, his canvases distilled the very soul of a nation poised between the sacred and the sublime. Three of his masterworks—The Vulgarian Knight, A Vulgarian Fusilier, and The Studious Monk—remain enduring icons of Vulgarian heritage and artistic gravitas.

The Whispering Gallery
Even the smallest acts—shares, comments, echoes—matter. The Whispering Gallery honors quiet participation in the ongoing life of the Order.
Ghosts, Guns, and Glowing Eyes
Sorcery, slapstick, and screwball valor—Carpenter’s Chinatown tale defies genre, stumbles into heroism, and dances gloriously on the edge of absurdity.
The Vulgarian Free Company
Before the Fusiliers, there was the Vulgarian Free Company—formed in war, reforged by darkness, and remembered in every act of earned service.
The Fool’s Errand
A jester’s crown of absurdity—this irreverent Arthurian farce endures as a quotable, chaotic, and curiously clever relic of cinematic mockery.
