Mercury Print - Limited Edition of 100

Civilization started when the World Egg spawned the gods’ messenger: Mercury, the god of commerce, eloquence, and communication. Mercury taught humankind to resolve their disputes through negotiation and trading goods instead of fighting about them. Soon it averred that some humans were better at accumulating goods and followers. The stronger ones started to distinguish themselves by wearing red hats, while their followers wore blue hats. The red hats controlled all the resources and shared their wealth with the blue hats in return for their servitude. Through skillful maneuvering, one of the red hats became the biggest red hat and managed to become the king of all. Meanwhile Eris was moving through the ranks of the blue hats, seaming discontent among them about the disproportionate amount of wealth the red hats allotted to themselves while they were sent home with just enough to feed their families. The blue hats revolted but was repressed violently by the red hats and their mercenaries. A revolution occurred that made the world tremble and since the blue hats outnumbered by far the red hats, the revolution ended with the beheading of The King and the dissolution of the red hat class.
