Entry into EndMaster's 2024 Prompt Contest! 

The Faceless Knights uphold divine law, crushing mutation and degeneracy whenever they encounter it. When the young lord of a recently-conquered territory calls for a true servant of God, you must answer. 

This game has a sequel.

A short, silly, high-octane ride through a cyberpunk future where your bullets are few, your friends are fewer, and the long tentacles of the law are slithering up your pant legs. 

I am aware that technically, writing a sentence in all capital letters is gramatically incorrect. I did this on purpose, several times, for stylistic effect. If you point this out in the reviews, a team of hit-apes will kick in your door. 

Winner of EndMaster's 2024 Crisis Contest! 

This is a sequel to A Prayer for Destruction. It is highly recommended that you read that work before beginning this one.

The North, that frozen-over land of fanatics and heathens, has suffered a great and mysterious calamity. The Sultan bids you raise your banners and ride in his name to investigate.

"Death is struck and nature quaking;
All creation is awaking,
To its Judge an answer making.
Lo, the book, exactly worded,
Wherein all hath been recorded;
Thence shall judgment be awarded.
When the Judge His seat attaineth,
And each hidden deed arraigneth,
Nothing unavenged remaineth."

-- Dies Irae

Ultimately, the fate of life is to destroy itself.

this is so fucking stupid

crying for the mods is weak asf 

I mean, you're still here and still talking about Jews. 

The post that you're still whining about got removed because it made us look like a Nazi site to a higher degree than your other posts, and we don't want your charm to be diluted by having multiple competitors for the same niche 

You're not a countryman, neighbour or anything else when you cross the line into "enemy". The National Guard opened fire on demonstrators at Kent State for protesting. In 1985, the Philadelphia PD set a deadly fire in a row house by dropping an incendiary bomb on it from a helicopter, in order to end the MOVE organization. In any system, in any time, when you challenge the state too much, you get hammered.

Your assertion that the military would not take violent action against insurgency in the country is just laughable. Especially because armed insurgency would necessarily mean that your heroic group of civic-minded armed liberals would, necessarily, be shooting at cops and soldiers. 

Also, I hate to break it to you, you don't have a free media environment. People get their news from large corporations and monied interests that turn them into cattle. The world is now full of people who have replaced reality with a hallucinatory and frightening series of images absorbed from short-form video content and cable news. ICE just brazenly executed a guy in the street, and the Fox news contingent are fervently defending them. Do you think that's a conclusion people would arrive at on their own? 

This is to say nothing about the role of AI on social media, where consensus is easily manipulated with fake accounts. In a few more years, video itself will be easily fabricated. It will be trivial to edit a video of an insurgent walking into a building that is then destroyed by an airstrike, or adding discarded firearms on the ground to re-contextualize a massacre of peaceful demonstrators. It's a post-truth media landscape. 

Who the fuck are you? 

No fucking way this retard just called him the Shaw 

Yeah that's not going to happen.

Civil war would involve the following: airstrikes on civilian houses and places of business where maybe an insurgent walked by once; women and girls being raped by occupying soldiers who then cover up the crimes of their comrades; guilty and innocent people vanishing without trial into black hole prisons that make ICE detention facilities look like pleasant vacations to be tortured, sometimes to death; intentional massacre of civilians. These types of things have happened, to greater and lesser extents, in Ireland, in Spain, in Lebanon, in Mandatory and modern Palestine, in Syria, in Myanmar, the list goes on. Civil war is horrific.

An armed public uprising would be an escalation of violence that would produce unbearable and unlivable conditions for literally everyone in the country. The Dems are right to be skeptical of the possibility of private citizens overthrowing the state.

I will prove myself worthy of this honour by committing even more grievous injustices against the people of CYS, in the hopes of being even half the undead tyrant as the great man himself

Well, I suppose I'll join. Need to read more 

Who the fuck are you? 

This is such a retarded and wrong take on the BIble that it's not worth really talking about. 

OP, read Walter Burkert's Greek Religion and John Day's Yahweh and the Gods and Goddesses of Canaan for some actual scholarship about antique paganism. God help me.
