A tall man was Lord Daraki, his recent battle with his old protege had left him slightly drained however and his skin was a whiter shade of pale than normal. His white and well kept beard made him seem noble and pleasant but underneath his skull lay a mind that was calculating and duplicitous.
He stood on the balcony of his palace within the city of Kibarron, this palace he rarely stayed at usually dwelling in the Hidden City within the desert. This palace was only used to maintain control of the citizens and to provide a stronghold when Daraki wished to greet guests or go about city business.
Beside him, his new protege, an Elf found outside the Hidden City.
He addressed the 'willingly' assembled crowd.
"Citizens of Kibarron and other settlements, Hist is prospering. Reports from Hist-Span Corporation says that productivity is up 52% of last year's measurements. You have done well.
But do not think that this service is all you must provide. You must dedicate your entire being to the Hist Empire and its culture. Survival of the Strong, the Weak must perish. The strongest always leads the people.
An awful consequence has come of the end of our isolation. Foriegn visitors spreading their poisonous ideals of Communism, Socialism, Democracy and the like. These cancers must be excised. Their ideals of cooperation, sharing of power, of food and resources equally go against everything the ancients taught us.
But with your assistance, we can succeed.
Cooperation to find the dissidents will be rewarded.
Assistance of the dissadents will be punished fittingly; traitors shall suffer for a very, very long time.
Resume your daily lives, enjoy the fruits of your labour and heed my words.
The Strong shall Rule!"
The crowd responded, repeating that catchphrase, they resumed their work.
