"The Coming Race", Chapter XXVII, by Edward Bulwer-Lytton

amour propre: self-esteem

Sir Philip Sidney: 16th century poet, scholar and soldier.

The picture used is by angelamaps, of a Drow city (https://angelamaps.com/2022/08/17/drow-art-pack/). Some neat stuff there. Of course most of the pictures have a decidedly evil look to them which doesn't quite fit what we want here, so I went with something that felt more neutral. I was just looking for an underground city-scape without enough open space above for flying. I had no idea what else to do for a picture here, there's not much to work with in this chapter!

A little bit of a cliff-hanger here!
