-[[Prester John]] was a postulated [[Jolly Roger|Christian]] patriarch, presbyter, and king. Stories popular in Europe in the 12th to the 17th centuries told of a Nestorian patriarch and king who was said to rule over a Christian nation lost amid the pagans and Muslims in the Orient. The accounts were often embellished with various tropes of medieval popular literature, depicting Prester John as a descendant of the Three Magi, ruling a kingdom full of [[merch|riches]], [[music|marvels]], and [[Captain Mabel Canagement|strange creatures]]. Put another way, I am king of an imaginary kingdom. I'll show you as much as I can, but there is so much more that nobody but me will ever see. Fully elaborating even [[Dear Future Archaeologists|one of my treasures]] is the work of a lifetime, but there are so many more, brimming with alien potential that even I can't truly understand. I will try to show [[you]] what I can, but it's important that I speak quickly and you pay careful attention, because our time is short. Never the less, I will fail to find even one of this kingdom's gems in its true majesty, because in the place of their creation they are living, breathing things. I am sorry I can't show them to you how I see them; after all, I am only an imaginary king.+[[Prester John]] was a postulated [[:Jolly Roger|Christian]] patriarch, presbyter, and king.
