The Book of Knots - Jags

lands of the Kingdom are
fairy-book rolling hills, copses
of trees, and towers with banners
flying from them. There
are small hamlets and during
the winters: sleigh tracks past
the numerous winding walls
and fences that run across it. It
looks idyllic.

a strangely simplified life—in
many ways, a ‘perfect one,’ so
long as it is examined on a small scale.
On a large scale, it is disaster. The Hollow Kingdom is eaten through
with subtle worms of failure in every enterprise beyond the microcosm
of the small faux-medieval town. Many of the walls are broken
waterworks of failed aqueduct projects. There are picturesque windmills
that do nothing and waterwheels that turn broken mills. There are
numerous clock towers, but the times told by the hands are random.
And there are dark mud-plains where the disease of failure has overtaken
everything, sucking towns, and people, and travelers down into the
mud. When failure comes, it comes like a storm and it can bring pitiless
starvation and ruin. This happens fast—maps are all out of date. Roads
sometimes curve away from where a town has vanished to ghost-town
(or worse). All of this is part of the world.
There are several Entities that share this sprawling Kingdom. One of
them, is Humpty Dumpty.
Personality
At heart, he is the critic and his drive is to destroy by analysis. Although
he has set his talents on many things and people over time, his ultimate
goal is the devastating critique of Wonderland itself. As such, he is not
just a Deconstructionist—but their leader. He is the first amongst the
Anarchists.
He travels many places and is accepted (in Wonderland) as a personage
of great prestige and power (although he is treated as a nobleman or
visiting royalty and not a king). Where he casts his eye, he will observe
and then judge. His judgment goes beyond harsh: if he does it right, he
will make the child lose faith in his mother, the champion lose faith in
himself, and the pastor lose faith in God.
In person, he is disgruntled—quick to take offense (although rarely
