The 2nd Anthology: Annali dei Cavalieri Valeria

I'm actually quite happy with how the first volume of game mixes came out. But I consider it a prototype. For the second, I think it would be nice to have less albums, but possibly better themes and titles. More after the jump.



Latin is overrated. For the title of the second anthology, I have proposed Annali dei Cavalieri Valeria. I much prefer the Italian language over Latin, and since my fellow compilers will not be joining me on this one, I get to choose it all myself.

The first anthology as some of you know was titled Obvius ut Somnium, meaning "On the Way to a Dream." From that we took the idea of a nation overcoming its early days of oppressive rule under a corrupt regime, a revolution of sorts. The second half of the anthology chronicled their fast scientific growth leading to a life in space, which angered the gods who wished them to remain on the planet. It ends with a final cataclysmic engagement.

Kind of depressing, when you think about it. Which is why for the second anthology I'd like to do something a little more upbeat. I decided to do an anthology where I take each character from the Valeria world we wrote up forever ago, and give them each an album. The title,
Annali dei Cavalieri Valeria, translates to "The Annals of the KNIGHTs of Valeria." I think it should be fun.

If you aren't familiar with it, maybe I'll do a little character and world introduction in a future post, I need to go back and rethink it all over a bit. Anyone actually reading this have any input?
