Fiction:Tenet/History/18

= Scroll of Preparations = All hail his majesty King Makann of the Tenet Kingdom, king of kings, uniter of the world, herald of the new age, scourge of the Da'mir, he who speaks with angels, who rules all the land from the Silver Sea to the Setrapa Mountains! In his visions he has seen the enemies of the gods, led by the accursed Taboo, massing in dark places beyond the light of civilization. Thus he has decreed that there must be great industry in all the lands of the Tenet Kingdom so that it may resist the unclean hordes and bring them under thrall.

Lo! Under the guidance of Adzekkul and Nergantul, blessed be their names, his majesty's forges have brought forth divinely-empowered weapons such as the world has never known to assist in the coming war. Here are spears infused with lightning so that they may strike the enemy down from a distance; here are arrows tipped with black glass that shatter within the enemy's flesh, and the shards will burrow towards his heart and pierce it. Already his majesty has ordered his finest soldiers to train with these mighty weapons and more.

Nor have his majesty's magi been idle. Tutored by the angels in the arts of miracle-wright, their understanding of the higher arts grows greater with every passing day. The magi have learned to shape flesh as clay, to call down storms and plagues upon the enemy, and to unravel and weave the thoughts of others as one might weave a tapestry. None may stand before their might.

Lo! The Kingdom of Tenet is the greatest nation to exist in this or any other land, and his majesty King Makann is the greatest king in the history of the world. The savage peoples beyond the Setrapan Mountains will fall before our might, and will surely be brought under thrall. May this age of glory last forever.
