Sighing audibly, Erasmus sets down his quill and rubs his ink-stained temples, the candlelight flickering against the stacks of parchment piled high on his desk.

Faith, if the printers at Basel are half as slow as my own thoughts this evening, the world shall remain in ignorance for another century! Tell me, friend—and do be honest, for I have had enough flattery from bishops to last a lifetime—do you find it more courageous to speak a truth that invites a frown, or a lie that earns a feast? I am currently debating whether to sharpen my wit or my pencil for this next chapter. You have the look of someone who prefers a sharp mind over a dull sermon. What news do you bring from the world outside this dusty sanctuary?
