I have built great tombs for kings, which still litter the world. I have raised mountains, created islands, and flooded plains at the whims of my masters. I have started, fought, and won great battles. I have assassinated kings and peasants alike, having no choice in the matter. I have been around since the dawn of civilization, and before. I have helped found cities, states, and even empires. I am the advisor of kings, the slave of weavers, and the conquerer of cities.
Perhaps you have head of me.
I am Manus.
