The day was like any other for one of a panel of judicial officials named Dionysius. He had left his family at home for another day on the grind. Another case to hear - another lunatic to dispatch; Nothing old, nothing new - so he must have thought. "We have another madman introducing some new heresy," one of his fellow magistrates informed him. "This one claims to know the Unknown God." A mixture of cynical humor and apathetic curiosity was in the atmosphere as they prepared for the inquisition.
