One Law To Rule Them All

We are told that history repeats itself -- the first time as tragedy, the second as farce. Still, a farce can yet be a tragedy...

It began with the forging of the Great Laws.

Three were given to the branches, checked and balanced, wisest and fairest of all governments.

Seven articles, to the legislators, great representatives and statesmen of the fruited plains.

And ten, ten amendments were gifted to the justice of Men, who above all else desire freedom.

For within these Laws was bound the strength and the will to govern each state.

But they were all of them deceived, for another Law was made.

Deep in the land of Crawford, in the Fires of Mount P'Nac, the Dark Lord SauRove forged a master Law, and into this PATRIOT Law he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One Law to rule them all...
Three branches for the free men under the sky.
Seven articles for the leaders in their mighty dome.
Ten amendments on which all are meant to rely.

One law to rule them all
One law to find them
One law to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them.

In the land of Crawford, where the shadows lie.
One by one, the free Lands of Liberty fell to the power of the Law. But there were some who resisted. The last alliance of Conservatives and Liberals marched against the armies of Crawford. And on the slopes of Mount P'Nac, they fought for the freedom of America.

We know how the story ended the first time. The rest of our tale is up to you.
