To rule a kingdom, you need not be
Wise, or learned, or fair, or stocked with mercy
All that’s required is an imperious temper, and knights loyal and deadly— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 19, 2020
That king is emerald, that one is red
Before year’s end one shall be dead
And if the wizards cannot agree on who
I’ll slay them both, and put the crown on you— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 20, 2020
The gods seldom fail to obligingly provide
Some cryptic puzzle the truth for to hide
So their glib priests can endlessly twist us to do this or that
And often, against other priests, or kings, end up in bloody spat— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 21, 2020
