Yeah, and somewhat depressing.

> **Spoilers for the pdf main plot**
>
> It’s a story about a Paladin (for whom Elan is working) confronting the Plum dragon, who has impoverished an Island nation by stealing all its stuff, and destroying all the boats.

> **Spoilers for the plot twist**
>
> Only it turns out the dragon has been working completely within the laws, with monopoly practices that he built through enshittification. So the Paladin feels compelled to leave matters alone.

> **Spoilers for the resolution**
>
> Elan stumbles into a solution by misreading a text, and then it turns out the villagers are actually elementals and didn’t need any of the stuff anyway.
