Dargon: 21st Zadruk – 20th Vwufor
Planetary Ruler: Varguth, the warmonger (Named for the ancient God of war, police brutality and oppression)
Symbol: The spiky club
Element: Fire
Metal: Iron
Auspicious Color: Red
Famous Dargons: Vygluth, the Terrible; tyrant of Skarl
Characteristics: Aggression; Cunning; Ruthlessness; Unquestioning obedience of authority.
Your ruling planet of Varguth may test you this week, soldier, by making you question wether it is right for a society to be run by Astrologers or fair for a caste system to be based purely upon date of birth.
Resist temptation to question the status quo or to disobey commands from a superior officer when he asks you to use what may seem like excessive force against lower star-caste subversives. Continue to do your best and help to maintain our great order.
Realize your good fortune in being part of the military caste, only second to the ruling Mithgari Astrological elite, and all the privileges to which your status entitles
you.
Love may be coming your way this week, Dargons but please remember that relations with
incompatible star-castes is strictly
prohibited by state law and punishable
by immediate incarceration and possibly
execution depending on your birth chart.
You may also hear rumours this week that astronomers and physicists of the Ulmafedi star-caste have predicted a meteor collision with our planet.
Ignore these rumours. They are merely lies spread by subversive elements in order to erode our faith in our great system.
Were such a collision soon to happen; trust me, our Astrologers would know about it.
Hail the Zodiac!

The Zodiac goes power mad! I like it.

Well, the Astrologers do, certainly.
I imagine the ones in this story to be like a priestly caste in a theocracy; using belief in astrology to control people.
It's also partly inspired by the Indian caste system. My family, on my fathers side, are Kshatriya; which is the ancient hindu warrior
caste but, like soldiers of today, I'm sure
they were involved in oppressing people.
Thanks, Alex. Glad you liked it.

Something very different from you. I really enjoyed this, good use of the IP. No matter who, where or how we live 'they' will always find a way to control us.
