The Ark of the Covenant

---

After a bloody struggle against its defenders, the Ark of the Covenant has been recovered. In their death throes the guardians warned us never to open the sacred chest, but as the glorious golden casket sits upon the floor of the palace in [Root.Capital.GetCapitalName], [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName] is gripped by temptation. It is said that the Ark contains two of the Ten Commandments given to Moses directly by God. Such a treasure can hardly be ignored; even to gaze upon such holy relics would be divine. Or perhaps it would be blasphemy. As the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] approaches the Ark, [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] wonders if [Root.Monarch.GetSheHe] is worthy.
