-->'''Vaarsuvius:''' Oh, by the Great Elven Ancestors, are you honestly telling me that the savage natives mistook the civilized explorer for their deity? Because I think that would signify an all-time nadir for originality in this comic.\\

* The opening of the book is an in-character intro by [[KnightTemplar Miko]]. Rather then telling you anything about the book, [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch which she naturally hasn't read]], she instead tries to convince you that, as a work which goes into the motivations of evil beings? "Start Of Darkness" is [[EveryoneIsSatanInHell irredemably evil, the author must be an agent of Asmodeus, and that you must cast down the book and repent]]. At the end of the intro, she decides that if you are going to read it then you clearly must be an agent of Evil yourself, and [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou immediately smites you.]]
