Four human sized pods standing in a row. There is a small open window in each pod. Through the first three windows are visible the faces of a slightly pale brown haired woman, a younger dark haired woman, and younger-still dirty blond haired woman. The painting is ``signed'' with a peculiar pattern of five stars.

(The three women are easily recongized as Jayla, Cassandra, and Katya.)

A young woman, like Katya but maybe a little older. She stands, enveloped in green flames - they may be from around her, or emanating from her. Her arms are outstretched and lowered - one hand is in the center of a complicated tracery of glowing red lines, and in the other, faint blue lightnings stretch away to the edges of the painting like gossamer spiderwebs. It is ``signed'' with a peculiar pattern of five stars.

A somewhat surreal cityscape, with buildings tilted haphazardly left and right. In the center is a plaza, flat and stable. Standing in the center is a group of figures. On one side is a tall man, in a business suit and a blue stole. On the other side is a stockier bearded man wearing a gold circlet, who holds out a circular seal to the taller man; to his left is a man in a the uniform of the Elite, kneeling to lay down his plasma brand; to his right is a big green gem.

(The Elite appears to be Janzur. The man in the blue stole is identified by Eva to be Artemis Melcamot, the first blue Hegemon.)

A large ornate chamber. On the central dais is a man-sized ruby emanating light. To the left of the ruby, is a tall well built man in an ornate uniform. Around the chamber, in each seats, rests a world. Each world is different. One seat is empty.

This appears to be fairly straightforward, and the iconography of the worlds should be unsurprising. Pierogi is the missing world, the other outworlds are all represented (an amusing play on words, that) at this gathering. The light is the light of information conveyed, of emphasis and clarity; the red stone is not so much a stone as an embodiment of Red. What "Red" is in this context is somewhat puzzling; my divinations indicate a very old meaning. (Not the "Red Hegemony", and not the old Crux Communalizer political party).

Anya, standing at parade rest against a background of pastoral field with starry sky above. She's wearing something that (from the sleeves and pants) could be a uniform similar to Janzur's; over that is a tabard with the Farseer's Eye, and over that is a gold sash with a thin stripe of red/green/blue up the middle. Additionally, she has some little gold insignia on her collar. One hand holds a long pole resembling an elongated hilt of a plasma brand; it's planted firmly before her.

A painting of several men: In the foreground are two very similar men in similar Hegemonic uniforms. The older is handing a plasma brand to the younger. Around the pair are arrayed a middle aged man in an archaic, highly ornamented suit, another recognizable as Vissarion Nomarche in his typical regalia, and a third form, difficult to see as it's obscured by red, blue, and green mist. All of them seem to be holding plasma brands as well (as if to give them or having just been given them, not in a combat stance). In the back of the hall, the wall is lined with indistinct men in various Hegemonic uniforms. It is signed with a peculiar arrangement of five stars.

(Most people recognize the two central figures as Janzur (somewhat younger than he is) and Janzur (somewhat older than he is). The older Janzur looks more decorated. )
