Elminster:

Such tyranny! Such self-assured importance! Being a firm believer in the principle of democracy and human rights, I oppose such medieval monarchical tyranny. I hereby present myself, Lord Elminster, as your undisputed, populist President. All hail the President!



Limerick II

Yisheng:

(Enter Muse, flabbily)

Muse:

All hail Elephant, Peepiceek, Fitzy!
You three beaux are so green and so glitzy
That you've burnt to a cinder
The heart of Dorinda -
Though she always was terribly ditzy.

(Exit Muse, hazily)



Particularism

Jianyi:

This! This! THIS IS ABSURD! Seperatism within the empire?! Particularism amongst my subjects??? Rebellion?!? Treason?!?!

I'm going to bring this up to the United Nations! Where, incidentally, the Empire has a permanent seat on the security council. Two of them, in fact. I'll smash all of you.

No more encyclopaedias or whatever it is from the idiot Von. No more attacks against the throne by self-proclaimed presidents! I can be NASTY and VINDICTIVE when i want to be! My ETHOS is REVENGE!!!

D.



Vaughn:

o great queen,

this short letter serves only to suggest that you pause for a moment to correct your spelling of the word 'separatism'. if spelling be the incorruptible body of language, i am proud to say that you have successfully corrupted the incorruptible.
