It's amazing how a few syllables can convey an entire book's worth of narrative, David. Kings and Gods will be able to handle anything within their power, including failures. When things go awry, the monarch will accuse his people of betraying him and hand them over to the gods. As elegant and concise as always. All the best

Sacrificial fodder indeed Lasaad but one must tread carefully when mentioning Gods, hence my little erm (just change the subject) quip, for fear of getting into hot water, these kings have spies everywhere, cheers David

One and all subjects subjugated by Kings and God's. Eloquent and precise as ever. And yes indeed Sir pen-pals who in a different world could possibly be friend's.

Yeah and if all else fails the king will blame the subject’s and sacrifice them to the gods, that usually keeps them all in their place, cheers David
