I. Power and might [Text]

[warrior_king]

[One thing about Councillor Gorthan is that he is still very unsure about Vatheon and its people, and in general doesn't like hanging outside very often. Also because he may find himself getting hungry for the residents' emotions, and he is trying to maintain a low profile for the moment.

So here, Vatheon, have a short, simple text.]

Is anybody here able to recommend any good books?

I am particularly interested in poetry, philosophy and epics.

The majority of his short stories and longer poems are horrific and mysterious, with a focus on madness, both through the lens of an unreliable narrator and a sane observer. Intriguing, as it was rumored that the writer himself went mad before his death.

I see. Exploring a deranged mind... the idea has a certain appeal, though it is devoid of any practical use. Since you are so enthusiastically positive that the writer is deserving of mention, I shall look into his works.

May I know your name?

If you come to know anyone in possession of a deranged mind, it may not prove so impractical after all.

Ciel, Earl Phantomhive.

[Ah... a person of power, as well? Good.]

I am Gorthan, supreme leader of the Evronian army, and a former member of the Imperial Council of Evron.

... But you have never heard of my planet, either, have you.

I cannot say that I have.

Would it be correct to call you 'General,' then, if you are the leader of an army?

No, it would not, as our vast army almost entirely coincides with Evron itself.

Its generals serve under me. In the Emperor's unfortunate absence, I hold complete power over Evron.

I am more of a King.
