"After he was crowned, we were called by King Ptolomy to take new oaths. Many followed the order. Some of us however refused, vowing to honor our previous allegiance."
"Our rejection naturally made the king furious. We were furiously whipped to change our minds. And some of us did. But the truly bullheaded ones… hehe well His Majesty finally ran out of patience and wanted to have us all killed."
"Fortunately, his advisers intervened on our behalf. They convinced His Majesty that such a brutal act would look too bad. The other priests would not take kindly to seeing their own perish like this, while the commoners and nobles would find him too cruel and tyrannical."
"His Majesty had just taken the throne back then and his rule was still unstable. He certainly did not want others to think he was following in his father's footsteps. So we were ultimately demoted to servants and attendants of the Grand temple."
