I'd like a history lesson.

Oh, geez...

I'll use the Latin Calendar.

It's the 21st Century after Virgil- the one responsible for the organization of the Latin Church.

So like... I think it's 2012.

I was serving with the Irish Empire, as part of a Foreign Legion.

We were going into Korea because, I believe- their Emperor had decided it would be prudent to massacre all the foreigners in his land.

Which rather upset us, just a tad.

So- we were going in to depose that Emperor, basically.

And it sort of... didn't go overly well for some of it.

It was not a nice time.

Turns out that a country that just massacred its' foreigners, kind of expected an invasion.

We had quite a decisive defeat in the opening parts of the campaign.

And after that, we just sort of kept clawing our way at it until they started to give ground.

After that point, it became urban fighting, and we were in a position to support the rebels.

After that, it was largely a revolution aided in troop numbers by us.

It's the idea of associations.

Connections.

If I took dirt from outside- it doesn't suddenly become dirt from nowhere- it is dirt from that ground outside.

It succeeded in the end.

It became a republic after that.

They became a protectorate of the Irish Empire as well-

And a lot of fiction written after that war, often have favorable depictions of the Irish.

-nods- Exactly.

-Ram, I did respond-

Not all revolutions succeed, but some are remembered as heroic, after all.

Tracking someone, cursing a specific person, altering their emotions- various ones based on individuals.

To name a few.

And... not all victors are remembered well either.

I have my own personal experience with that.

Mm.

It's just one type of application.

And an important one to know in regards to maleficarum.

Know how to harm, to know how to protect.

After all- how would you cure someone's curse, without knowing how the curse was done to begin with?

So-

Yeah.

It's a bit of a lie to say that History favors the victor.

You just have to look at Crusades.
