Image inspired by a story I had told Deanna about Vlad the Impaler. 15th Century Prince in Romania.

Vlad was believed to be the original Dracula. His Keep, at the mouth of the Uris Pass, was decorated with the

impaled bodies of his enemies, on display for any attackers using the pass to access Romanian lands. The impaled bodies

served as a much successful deterent against enemy invasion. Armies attemting to attack Romania would see the bodies and

flee in fear. This story strictly from memory and not claimed as fact, it's just entertainment!
