Find a quote from the character that was making the sharpest knife/sword possible to carry out a biblical prophecy (think it was an attempted murder of the antichrist) if you can. I really want to read about just how sharp the blade was again lol.

Sometimes what the world needs is guillotines.

[-] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

I have a vague recollection that they roll out guillotines for enemies of the Anti-Christ regime in those books. I remember thinking "how the fuck do I pronounce that?"
