== History of Creation ==
The Saxon Empire, inspired by Kaiser Germany, combines militaristic traditions with advanced engineering solutions. «Erlkönig» reflects the empire's doctrine, focusing on technological superiority and firepower. Its creation is linked to the post-war strengthening of the role of artillery after the events of the [[Great War|Great War]], where diesel mechs became a key element of battles. Unlike the Polan [[Mechs/PZM-13 Mocny|PZM-13 «Mocny»]], capable of close combat, the Saxon model sacrifices versatility for specialization in long-range fire.
The mecha takes its name from the mythical Elf King (German: Erlkönig) from German folklore, which inspired the creation of the eponymous ballad by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and the musical composition by Franz Schubert.
==Interesting Facts==
* The mech's name refers not only to the myth but also to military jargon: the abbreviation SLL stands for Selbstlauflafette («self-propelled carriage»). This emphasizes Saxony's engineering ambitions, aiming to mechanize classical artillery.
* The mech's design, combining elements of World War I and retrofuturism, is characteristic of the dieselpunk aesthetic of the universe created by artist [[Jakub Rozalski|Jakub Rozalski]].
