Epigraphs[]
“Peace is little more than the recognition that the reasons for which war was undertaken are no longer relevant.”
– Dread Emperor Benevolent the First[4]
“Own what you are, no matter how ugly the face of it. No lies are ever more dangerous to a villain than those they tell themselves.”
– Dread Emperor Benevolent[5]
“Morality is a force, not a law. Deviating from it has costs and benefits both – a ruler should weigh those when making a decision, and ignore the delusion of any position being inherently superior.”
– Dread Emperor Benevolent[6]
“By hook and crook we will all hang, High Lords, from a noose woven of our many loose ends. But cheer up: none are beyond salvation, not even the likes of us. Let us see, at long last, if we can turn back the tyranny of the sun.”
– Extract from the coronation speech of Dread Emperor Benevolent the First[3]
“There’s no surer sign you’re being played than being certain you’ve grasped your opponent’s intent.”
– Dread Emperor Benevolent[7]
“Please, do keep digging your own grave. I look forward to your splendidly inevitable demise.”

“There is only one lesson to be learned from shatranj: no matter who wins the game, the pieces return to the same box.”
