The Black Dot Queen is intercepting all messages from Dotland...and furiously sending pigeons back to DotLand in reply. This is puzzling to our Dots since she ignores messages sent directly to her. If the Dots send their questions to the rest of the Duchy instead of the Queen, will the Queen then give them the information they seek?
Both the Black Dot Queen MaGoG and her lady-in-waiting, GoG, are pledged to the service of the Duke of Black Dot Castle. You might ask why Queen Mag (you know, it might be easier just to call them GaG and GoG) would beseige other loyal subjects of the Duke. Remember the case of the Witches of Loudun. Loudun was one of the last walled cities in France. Cardinal Richelieu had succeeding in destroying most of the remaining city walls in the rest of France but in Loudun he was opposed by the parish priest, Grandier. Grandier was accused of witchcraft, Richelieu's minions came to investigate, and, oops, the walls vanished in the resulting furor. The Dots have long known that GoG works against them in secret, but Queen Mag professes to be an ally. Will the Dots ever learn MaGoG's true motives? What about the Duke? Does he know what Queen Mag is trying to do? Does Queen Mag know what she is trying to do?
