Hardly had the ancient order known as the Sultans of Exceeding Splendour been fully established by the Grand Flashing Inaccessible when a question arose regarding the appropriate title of address among its members. Opinions varied widely; some members advocated for the simple title of "My Lord," while others insisted on the more elaborate "Your Dukeness." A third faction preferred the regal "My Sovereign Liege."
Amidst this debate, a stunning jewel, emblematic of the order and gleaming upon the breast of every member, suggested a unique compromise: "Your Badgesty." This whimsical title was quickly embraced, and the order subsequently became popularly known as the Kings of Catarrh.
The story illustrates the absurdity of pomp and hierarchy, highlighting how titles can overshadow genuine leadership and purpose.
