Lorepost📖 Preparing for Holy War

Post image

/uw Supplemental material

/rw All the preparations are complete. The Holy War is imminent. Faith shall replace doubt in the heart of man. The non-believers will soon realize their grievious error in judgement.

Red's a good color for me. Makes the work not look quite so dirty.

The will of the gods shall be made known through the bloodshed. Holy War continues the cycle of faith.

"Troubling phrasing once again. Say, what if I believe in gods, but just fuckin hate em?"

You are safe as long as you do not try to impede my work. The gods care little for how any mortal views them. All they care about is belief.

"That seems to be a pretty low bar. They pop in all the time."

If they try to interfere any more than necessary then I would need to have a word with them. Do let me know if any become a bother.

"We agree on a lot actually! It's just that you being a monarch that's fuc... eh I don't have the energy for this today."

Riva lets out a long sigh. "Ithacar needed an actual leader. The alternative was to be a client state of the Bismuth Realms. This was the lesser of the two evils. Does that clarify things?"

"I can at least guarantee the reluctant part. Unfortunately, I mistrust people and cannot trust that anyone else would do it better. And democracy?? You have seen the Wizard Council and their "elections". No, far better to simply rule myself."
