Weapon Story
In a far-off island nation to the east, there was a kingdom whose nautical might was second to none. The people there lived with hearts that were pure, just, and beautiful, and the island had never known a defeat in written history. The captain there was a peerless man who wielded a mace.

The warrior was not only brave of heart, but noble and beloved by all. Voices clamored for the decorated warrior to be named the military leader of the land, but he would quiet them each time, saying, “It is not in me to rule.”

When a foreign ship came carrying a commercial treaty to the ruler of the island nation, he unilaterally struck it down. In retaliation, a warship from the Four Seas surged upon the kingdom, and her naval forces were driven to the brink of destruction. The night before what would surely be their final table, battle, the fearless captain bade his men to drink and make merry, saying, “Let us protect this pure, beautiful land until the bitter end!”

That very night, the warrior was bound tightly in his sleep and shoved into a coffin, beloved mace and all. They heaved the coffin from the edge of the ship and watched it sink into the dark depths of the sea below. “We never would have gone to war, if only you’d agreed to rule,” his subordinates spat, then went to their enemy, waving a white flag of surrender.
