Lay of Kushta, Sonnet 15
As to where to begin, said Jonachem, I would start here
To rally the local lairds to our quest. These can be sway'd
By Pontifex's banner, and use of rhetorical skill.
Edmund's bloodline will also help us win. I have no fear
When sweet reason, blood heritage, and my banner display'd
We shall conquer bloodlessly and do locally at will
What we must to restore Imperial authority
O'er Armatta itself, a necessary first step to
Imperial reign o'er the other twenty-three nations.
So first, go forth to your homes! And build a majority
Return hence with emissaries of the unit'd lairds, who
Will found anew the Imperium by proclamations.
So Jonachem, the Pontifex of Argora, did plot
And the six paladins saw him revealed as a despot.
