8 AM Handwerpenstad
The entire city woke up from it slumber with loud bangs from the 50 artillery shots, the first of many to follow during the day. The IIL marched by the coffin as a final saulute during these shots asswell. They further assembled in front of the coffin which had been ceremonially placed at the doorsteps of the imperial palace. All fell silent not long after.
Out of every intercom horn played the Soyabarian national anthem. The system which was in place to sound the alarm in times of war, is now being repurposed to play the national anthem. For this funeral. Its end signalled the start of the military procession from the imperial palace to the final . The slower pacing of the formal ceremonial step of the IIL fitted right in the "mournning" step of the regular army.
Once the proccession started to the imperial tomb which is normally 15-20 minutes walking would now take 30-45 minutes due to the low stepcount. During those 30 minutes the artillery would fire the salute non stop.
OOC: if you want a delegation here now is the time to post
