"what do you mean the Servants have gone." Prince Hamid leaped to his feet. Baron Furad stood and smiled.
"You banished all the foreigners. All the Servants were foreigners. Now you must wash and polish your own Arse!" The Baron walked away laughing.

"Janik, look at that!" The Two guardsmen patrolling this section of the Border wall could only stand bemused at the Old wooden Wagon that had become impaled on spikes atop the Wall - the intention obviously to ride the Wagon over the wall using portable ramps on both sides.

61. Imperial Tomb a deathtrap
Dogar Sag was carried deeper into the necropolis by his servants. Past the ten thousand terracotta golems that awaited the end of the world when he would arise to lead them in the final battle and beyond the iron door into the Emperor's Citadel. They passed through the maze seeking the treasure filled crypt where the teeth of ul-gar, lord of the underworld were held and past the hoard of wealth that had been alien to their lives reached the marble bier on which they placed the remains of their god-king.
"Ahdjma Hudal! Ahdjma Hudal!" The High Priest spoke the words and then pulled the lever...the great mercury engine that would forever cause the traps to function with all their lethal power began to flow.
"What have you done?" Jamal the Bearer looked at the priest.
"You have killed us all!" The Priest Smiled.
"As it should be - you are a servant of the Emperor - now serve him in the afterlife." A dark shadow dropped from the Ceiling into the Chamber - it was twice the size of a Man and moved twice as fast tearing its victims limbs from their sockets. The Priest slipped out the secret postern door behind a huge white marble throne and departed the chaos.

62. New Imperial Warships useless for War
Fleet Admiral Gregori examined the Vessel that occupied the entire ship yard of Vorloi Shipyards. It was certainly impressive in that it was twice the size of any Ship he had ever sailed on in his life time. Admiral Gregori shook his head.
"Yes, you are right. They wouldn't take the load of supplies, crew, and Weapons needed in Wartime." Heads would roll.

The children he found hanging by their necks from ropes in the Kitchen from a Low Beam, their Mother from a Rope dangling from a high beam in the Grand Hall, and the Husband and Father from a Tree branch overlooking Sea at the top of the Cliffs out back.

96. A Memorial of Stature
"Kei-jung the Perfect," Kai read the words on the plaque beneath the statue of the giantess.
" Aged thirty nine. Slayer of fifteen Bandits who sought to plunder her village." Kai shook his head. If there was one thing he despised it was an unrealistic edifice. People simply didn't grow to that height.
DM Briefing: Kei-jung, Tallest Woman in the world at Seven feet - seven inches dies of sickness sweeping her village aged thirty-nine. The Locals build a statue of the Woman whose height - though it is great is entirely life sized.
