Vidarna at the Palace in Susa
DESCRIPTION

Susa was the city of the Elamite civilization, but after Cyrus II conquered Elam, it became one of the Achaemenid Empire's royal capitals. Darius I, in particular, created a palace complex rivaling that of Persepolis.

Vidarna is my Achaemenid Persian OC, set in 386 BCE. He is a Persian elite cavalryman stationed in Susa, married to a royal lady named Amastri. He is handing over a clay tablet to the "Immortal" guard. Their clothing and paraphernalia are mostly based on Alexander Mosaic and Alexander Sarcophagus. Nobles and attendants in the background are based on reliefs and friezes at Persepolis and Susa.
