The Tragedy of King Alexander the Stag

"The Tragedy of King Alexander the Stag", (A Distant Soil, ed. Colleen Doran, Image Comics, 1999)Of the Kings who died young, some fell in battle and some to the wizards’ sacrificial knife after only one Progress or two, in times of peace. And such a one was Alexander, who might have been a great leader had he been born in a seemlier time, under a gentler wizard. For he chafed under Guidry’s rule and questioned his precepts, and thought to have brought a queen into the Royal Park and would have changed all manner of things for love of her.
