A scratching is heard at the door. Beyond lies a man scorched by lightning. With his dying breath the man delivers a message from God to a cohort of town drunks in a tavern, taking refuge from the storm. The drunks must manage the message.
The tale of the martyr echoes across the land. Curiosity swells into a hurricane of religious and commercial fervor for the Wounds of the Martyr. A living mythology takes hold. Mankind has been given a light to guide our way. Ours is the path.
With their emblem held aloft, the new apostles lure the unwitting into a transactional frenzy concealed beneath religious robes. Converts drive commerce and growth is exponential. Soon all trade public and private is under the control of the Wounds of the Martyr.
This satirical allegory pits the organs of society against one another in a tragedy, a moral crisis, and an opportunity for the wicked.
Brace yourself as the Martyr ascends.
