As the fires burned down, the priests of King Olaf walked through the blood-stained snow. They carried ink and vellum. They were there to rewrite history.
To control the future, you must erase the truth of the past.
The Historical Lie:
Within a year, the story of Axiomra was entirely rewritten across Europe.
The Economy: The priests wrote that the Giant did not feed the farmers; he starved them, stealing their crops to hoard in his demonic stone tower.
The Medicine: The cowpox vaccine and the forceps were recorded as "Blood Magic" and "Tools of Torture."
The Rome Raid: The surgical strike on the Roman barracks was exaggerated into a mindless massacre of women and children, making Bilal the ultimate Evil of the Earth.
The world was told that a coalition of righteous Kings had struck down a flesh-eating Jötunn. The Utopia was erased. Only the Monster remained.
