as for gobb the immortal, one day would a frustration come upon him over the uncontrollable nature of his people, leading him to resign
and pass the scepter to his most trusted friend, a spiritualist known as "Sler'fuj", who would then don himself as the "archprophet",
and immediately tear down the central government, reforming it into something more fitting for the time
how ironic was it that sler'fuj who, a spiritualist, was also a very close friend of gobb the immortal, a 'materialist',
but their connection was strong enough that sler'fuj did not follow in baryul's footsteps as a traitor and murderer to those who surrendered their thrones,...
... and instead, he would forcefully appoint gobb to the position of head of research,
a position which the emotionally exhausted immortal would accept
"the burden isn't as heavy as it would have been, had someone else forced this charge upon you,...
... i only need you here because both you and i know of your intimate knowledge of baryul when he was still alive and at his peak as the most dominant crab
i let the minister of state, the shroudwalker and i play as the three head clergy of this domain, but you,...
... you are the true connection to baryul,... this is why you are appointed here! you must always tell me about him..."
gobb knew only somewhat of "Fosalin" who served as the Minister of State, and even less of 'The Shroudwalker', who was known as "Merttek Orr Bre'Kokt"
rumor had it that fosalin played for all sides of the political landscape, and at the same time for none,
while there lay also fainter but wilder tales of him copulating with and eating many of those in the 'Solar Federation of Man' shortly after sler'fuj's ascendancy
all of this being pure discretion taken from the decree of his role in spycraft, of course
