Gorgah of the Arena (#2802)

Owner: 0x6129…b30e

Lore of Gorgah of the Arena

Those that kneel before the Final Tree
whisper their prayers, goodbyes. So faint of heart,
stand brave before their ending’s author: me.
With skilled detachment, I do play my part
each time, with strop and whetstone, eye on rope
and blade. And in the hours before, with broth
and tender noodles. Some say I bring hope,
with crispy pork, spring onions. Table-cloth
and proper china. Some weep while they eat,
some joke a little. Soon the bowl is clean—
we stand as one, walk out of doors to meet
the crowd. They kneel before the guillotine,
the head, snicked off, rolls fast into the field—
I lift it high, presented on my shield.
