Ares, Mars, Nergal, Her Deshur, Angaraka, Pyroeis… the Red Planet has been known by many names throughout the ages, but has always stood for power, war, and the fiery heat of battle and destruction. Prepare yourselves as the Warrior Queen sets off on a new adventure of conquest.

Ares, Mars, Nergal, Her Deshur, Angaraka, Pyroeis ... La planète rouge a été différemment nommée au fil du temps, et pourtant, presque toujours, elle est associée au pouvoir, à la guerre, à la fureur des batailles et de la destruction. Soyez en alerte, car la Reine Guerrière lance de nouveau son entreprise de conquête.

Beauty can be a gift...but pride can sour its treasures. When Cassiopeia boasted that her daughter Andromeda was more beautiful than the Nereid sea nymphs, Poseidon sent a sea monster to ravage the city of Aethiopia in revenge. In a desperate attempt to appease the monster, the innocent Andromeda was stripped, dragged to the sea, and chained to a rock as a sacrifice.

Au plus profond de la nuit, il n'existe rien de plus tragique que le destin de la princesse Andromède. Sa mère, pour louer sa grande beauté, osa dire qu'elle surpassait même celle des Néréides, nymphes de la mer. En représailles, Poseidon envoya un monstre marin détruire la cité d'Ethiopie. Andromède, enchaînée, fut offerte en sacrifice pour appaiser le monstre.

In the face of our human chaos, the moon shines down upon us, constant in her ever changing visage. We look to the moon for wisdom in this tumultuous world.

En contraste avec notre chaos, la Lune brille dans le ciel, une constante, alors que l'image qu'elle nous présente change sans cesse. Nous en appelons à Sélène, la Lune, pour sa sagesse au milieu de cet univers immense.
