It was going to happen eventually, but it still is sad to see Iulius go. You have a knack doing at character send offs that tug at the heart strings.
A sad skill to have, to be sure! This time, however, I wanted to do something a bit different for Iulius, which is why I didn’t actually show his passing. He lived life as a hero amongst men, and yet died in the most human way possible: in the arms of his daughter, while his heirs were in foreign lands, fighting for the same cause that had driven him, unable to hear a last piece of advice, or to console him in his last hour.
