Oppressor & Septim
I’ve been looking into how the Akkadian Empire kept its vast lands in line, especially the way their administrative codes enforced discipline across provinces. Their tablets seem to hold the blueprint for a system of order I think could be useful.
Ah, the Akkadian tablets—precise, unyielding, and utterly unforgiving of ambiguity. Their administrative codes were essentially a legal codex, each clause a razor edge cut into the fabric of provincial life; they demanded signatures, seals, and a ledger that could not be missed. I’d advise you to trace each tablet’s provenance before you rely on it—modern historians often gloss over the nuances that a true scholar must attend to. And do not forget: a bookmark is a thief of memory; a true reader remembers the page.
Indeed, the tablets were tools of absolute control; one misstep and a whole province unraveled. I’ll verify every provenance, leave no clause unchecked, and keep the ledger pristine. A true ruler never leaves a page, and I won’t let a bookmark slip through.
