Rise of the System Lords

Okay, so... let's get the party started. Let's see where it goes...
Worldbuilding / Lore 1 - things in the story that could cause trouble in the peanut gallery
You know, there are things I want in this story which, seeing as it's nominally set in fantasy america, are going to be pretty hard for me to do without somebody getting the entirety of their panties in all kinds of twists about them.

I just don't know if I can bring it up without causing screeching from the peanut gallery, or ignore it without similarly causing at least some amount of screeching.

I'm in a kind of damned if I do, damned if I don't place, which... well, I don't give a damn if having it there at all upsets people, because the ability of the MC to extract a magically compelled geas/oath is a major part of the character and the world itself, but I have actively less than zero interest in wading into current real world issues because said screeching can get so unhinged.

So consider this your only warning: whatever I do, people causing what I see as trouble will be, as far as I am able, summarily ignored and ejected. People wanting to discuss it, insofar as it is a part of what I write, you're welcome to it. Bringing up real world things with that, that aren't directly in here? Nope, not interested. I won't stop you but whoever runs this place might, none of my business at that point unless you're making reading the actual stupid story unpleasant.

Of course, people silently reading this as they sip their morning coffee/tea/beverage of choice can also be assured: This isn't some sort of statement about what people have, can and do do to each other, it's a fantasy story about a world gone wonky, enjoy it for what it is, not what it isn't. I'm pleased if you're having fun.

Thank you.
