This abundance led to a volume of robust stories with the nerve to push against narrative expectations.

The Talmud isn’t a book. It’s 2,711 pages of arguments, laws, loopholes, and questions — with no final answers. This is what it actually says — not filtered, not explained, just the rules, the stories, and the rabbis who debated every word. Sabbath rules? Ridiculously specific. Sex and marriage? Contractual. Demons? Real. Bathrooms? Haunted. From food laws and lawsuits to prayer schedules and purity charts — it’s all here. Rabbis, rules, and the search for truth. No commentary. No theology. Just the Talmud, as written.

The guards are brutes, their prisoners little better than animals. It's hell on earth.

The Mongol Empire, founded by Genghis Khan and continued by his heirs, was one of the largest and most powerful the world has ever seen. Modern China was created from the remnants of the Mongol Empire, and at its peak, this empire controlled one-sixth of the total landmass of the world. Even today, it is estimated that one in every 200 people in the world carries the DNA of Genghis Khan. The world would never be quite the same after the relatively brief reign of Genghis Khan, his children, and grandchildren.
