Wine is the Blood of the Christ.
Rudeus has become a sinner by engaging in premarital sex. Not only that but he's become a liar, nay, worse than that. He broke his oath before the lord of the land, the lord of the lamb, and the lord of man.
He tasted the fruit borne of the loins of man before it was ripe, when he had sworn to wait until the 15th summer.
Death came as commanded by the lord and so too did his great lesson.
His love, her hair. Gone.
Rudeus will be made to atone for his failure. The third wife has been sullied by the path of the dragon and the false god.
For three years Rudeus will never rise from dawn until dusk. He shall not roost. He shall not lay bare his glory, but shall instead brandish the dried vine without grapes for he shall produce no wine.
Repent Rudeus! Repent!
