Secrets of an Empire: Room 2018


Recommended Posts

It was the room of the ages. A room that had seen war after war, death after death. A room, many floors deep. A room, known only as "Room 2018". This room, located in the medieval depths of the Imperial Palace was a room. From the outside it was unimposing, bare, with one wooden door guarding its secrets. But on the inside, it was something else. Grand was an understatement. The room was embellished with gold, diamond, crystals of the finest quality. The floor made out of amber. Carvings and the frescos stained on the roof, which depicted the legends of many great heroes. Indeed, the room had seen them come and go, had seen great heroes rise and mighty villains fall. Room 2018 had seen the rise of an empire, and the fall of a regime. 

Despite what many said, no one knew why Room 2013 was built. It served no purpose; no documents ever made mention of the room. The palace blueprints never included Room 2018. There was a room 2017 and a room 2019 on these old blueprints, but there was nothing about room 2018. Indeed, when palace officials made the discovery of Room 2018, it was by accident. The Emperor had commissioned a small team to investigate the security, history and overall structural integrity of the "Rooms of 2000s" as they were known. These rooms, measuring up from 2000 up to 2030 (but missing 2018), were located many floors deep within the palace, many floors deep within the Earth the palace was built on. These rooms were accessible only through a small doorway, with winding stone stairs, down into the dark depths of history. 

And so, when this team of medieval experts, engineers and scientists descended down below, they were expecting to find only 29 rooms. But, as the story goes, a vine covered wall was leaned upon. A stone fell. Peering behind this "wall-not-wall", the team found wood. And so, piece by piece, the stone wall was dismantled, until all that remained were the vines. As they were cut down, the bare stone wall of the outside of a room was found, perfectly preserved with medieval carvings. The small oak door with a ring door handle was opened. And thus, a secret of an empire was revealed.
