Concordats of Governance
Four hundred and twelve pages proving Hell does not respect footnotes

Codex Ref. XIII.1.12-030

Montreval

Montreval held three winters against Lucien Artois's clockwork guns, hunger, pamphlets, fever, and arithmetic; a southern pass-town where Severin bought time with walls, bells, broth, and burned bridges.
Codex Ref. II.1.09-015

Regensburg hosted Reason's false triumph, sold bread to signatories and plaques to penitents, and still rehearses its profitable disgrace under Bureau watch.
Codex Ref. II.2.03-030
