And really, that’s how I’ve been talking about it. ![]() I just finished all 848 pages of The Priory of the Orange Tree and I kind of enjoyed it. That single bit of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the “watery bint” bit, is the best genre critique of monarchy and the whole basis of the world building that exists: played for laughs. Sure, sometimes the protagonist is an outsider (or several outsiders), making their way into the upper reaches of the hierarchy with imposter syndrome and trepidation, but we are rarely questioning the need for a King, Monty Python style. Those who challenge the hierarchy are often portrayed as evil, and the peasants, on the whole, are mere background characters, dragon victims, refugees, burned out of their houses and generally disregarded by the heroes-whoever they are. Of course, the joy of the genre is in taking us behind that curtain of formality and showing us the cold clockwork underneath. While the best of it might offer a critique of monarchy and feudalism, most of the core texts are set in worlds with Kings, Queens, knights, court intrigue, hapless soldiers and peasants, operating in a rigidly hierarchical society with stultifying formality. ![]() Fantasy is an inherently conservative genre. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Vast in conception, meticulously detailed in execution, and apocalyptic in its resolution, Imajica is a tale of ill-fated lovers lost among worlds teetering on the edge of destruction.

Socrates is not satisfied by the answer provided by Euthyphro, and he requests him to shed more light on the definition. ![]() ![]() In his definition of the word, Euthyphro states that a pious item is what the gods consider pure and anything that is not approved by them is impiety. The Euthyphro's paradox concerns what is regarded as pious. Euthyphro works as a prosecutor in the Athenian court where his father is on trial. Meletus is the accuser, and Socrates' son is the one who will prosecute his father. Euthyphro professes to be knowledgeable about piety and to have a solid understanding of god-related topics. He is being tried in an Athens court, but he rejects the charges.
