Mad King's Reign

The Fate of Empires lies within the hand of Providence.  Surely nations rise and fall in timely eras.  The kingdom’s end begins again the rise of man, and in rising man is doomed to fall from the heights of his dominion.  Providence raises the wretched to Empire so the world may know the virtue of the wretched, and Providence lays low Empire to show the world its iniquity.   Heaven decrees these cycles march inexorably onward until the ending of death and fatal mortality, so all behold the futility of the princes of death who rule this world by the sword.
