The Iron King.
Not a man, not an idol - an idea.
The Iron King - the genetic meme handed down generations, the rising and falling of the hammers, the paradigm of the nameless and faceless masses of the people. The flag-wrapped worker-woman, the soldier with his rifle, the engineer working long nights to fight the onslaught of time - all these are the Iron King, and the Iron King is them. Progress, inspiration - and the Deep, the endless call to go to places unexplored, places far from the comfort of home in the name of progress. The explorer, the engineer, the soldier - on the backs of the furnace-foundries rides the Iron King, ideal of civilization itself, the rising and falling of the tides over the world.
The Iron King stands over the new world. A thousand universes behind him, a billion worlds, quadrillions of civilizations - all shining like a diamond in the noonday sun in the name of the Iron King. He waits, and thinks - How will this one end? In fire - the furnace, the inferno that consumes all - or in ice? We shall see.
