+**La philosophie de William Miller**\\
+While Drakran philosophy is in ascendance today, many older works
+are still read and discussed throughout Lanjyr. Most popular are the
+writings of a clerical monk, William Miller, who in the run up to the
+Great Malice composed a treatise on hypocrisy, suggesting that it is
+better to admit you are uncertain of your beliefs than to act in contradiction with your stated values. The book, widely recognized as an
+attack on the Clergy, allegedly drove the monk to flee persecution.\\
+Miller reappeared several years after the Great Malice with a new
+work of political philosophy that coincided with his effort to found a
+small nation, Pala, amid the chaos of the Malice Lands. In his multichapter book he examined possible social structures, comparing
+robustness and stability with various moral values. Early chapters
+allude to a conclusion that would detail a handful of ideal nations,
+but today there are no complete copies of the book.\\
+In 18 a.o.v., the reconstituted Clergy branded Miller a heretic,
+invaded Pala, and sacked its capital. He was brought to Alais Primos,
+the new seat of the Clergy, where he was tortured in an effort to
+compel a confession. After he refused to recant, his captors made a
+pyre of his heretical writings and burned him alive upon it.\\
+Today, Miller’s incomplete writings are popular among the bohemian dockers in Flint and philosophically minded followers of the
+Panoply in Ber. Rumors say that copies of Miller’s final chapters are
+kept in a library vault in Alais Primos, where it shares shelf space
+with other “heretical” texts.
