Drunk with power and extremely bored, The King wants to cause some chaos! With the unholy amount of riches already in his posession, the only thing to do now is take some more. With his greasy, jewelled fingers in all the right holes, he has complete control over the kingdom. Not a soul moves or speaks without his say so, and in the very rare instance that he does have a contender, well...

It's hard to stand up if you're always bowing!

A jet quill crooks against a hum-drum thumb, as the lowly scribe shares knowledge known.

The black ink clots under lines and full stops for the supreme credence is shown.

Holy names redacted as religion is retracted, all heretics shall burn.

Lined up with frilled collars, are book wielding scholars who indiscriminately learn.

A king, a kingdom, sends knights of nihilism to those who cheat the crown.

A woman, a witch, who cares not for politics, is thrown in the river to drown.

Relinquish your opinions, smother your decisions, as faith will make you small.

For there is only one way, the right way. The way that will work for all.
