The Art of War: States of Imperium

Sometimes under a very grim day it falls upon the ears of the master and his pet dragons that the world is not as it seems and that the ministers are conceiving an illusion. Yes, it is true that the weiqi (Go/Baduk) board is square, solid and made from a fine piece of wood that resonates with each clink of the black and white stones. But eventually that same board gets cluttered up with those very same stones that live to serve their master's sagely hands. White follows black and black follows white with rarely an abstention.

But there is the pause...

It was asked: Where has the flower gone; why does it no longer bloom a sweet fragrance?

This is not the time for alas. The flower still blooms upon the Imperium State as the black dragon and white dragon encircle each other around the weiqi (Go/Baduk) board. For it now falls upon a dangerous thing when each move, each hand, each stone breaks the frail illusions of those that think that they can control the world that never did and never will exist.

A new world is being born and this is the highest art of war upon the weiqi (Go/Baduk) board. Remember: Sun-Tzu played the game but kept its secrets hidden - For war is indeed a grave matter of state and death.
