* DisproportionateRetribution: When King Dimwit Flathead had a huge statue of himself erected in Fublio Valley, it blocked all sunlight from reaching the home of the titular wizard Megaboz. Megaboz's reaction to this injury was to place a death curse on Dimwit, his family, and his entire kingdom! Dimwit and his eleven siblings died immediately, and the Great Underground Empire fell ninety-four years later. Dimwit likely had thousands, if not millions, of people with legitimate grievances who wanted to kill him, but Megaboz's relatively petty revenge was what ultimately did him in.
