It Is Within The Interests Of Many An Ardent Brute And Stalwart Bludgeoner To Make Themselves Out To

It is within the interests of many an ardent brute and stalwart bludgeoner to make themselves out to be more ferocious and formidable than they truly indeed are, with displays of authority, ambition and agony often being weaponized for such purposes. Within this line of macabre decoration arose the tradition of a “corpse standard,” in other words the threat of an assured grim fate fastened aloft and paraded onward into confrontation. The base of this very notion of terribly ancient and has manifested in many regional and cultural mutations over the countless many years, possibly suggesting that these deathly displays may have been a particularly early achievement along man’s crafting of war as it is presently observed. From the charred standards of the faithful to Arava, the gutted standards of those fidgety Ardac, the decapitated standards of those haughty folk in Drynyra, the flayed standards of those fallow men about the banks of Lake Jyon, the putrid standards of the careless sea-swept rowers of Gmarata, the linked standards atop the mighty mounted warrior bands among the Stuna and of course the gallow standards of the wretched Connlaibach.

Who here likes height charts? They aren’t of much particular vitality but there is a certain element of the human pattern-sorting mentality which enjoys such catalogues.
