It's Playoff time at the Q!!!
--------------------------------
The King left the Land that he had been ruling over for 7 years. A Land that had been under severe distress for 46 years.
He left to grow, knowing he needed to earn his place on the throne..
in order to rule such a Land back to the heights it hadn't seen in decades..
He returned to the Land to which he belonged..
with reinforcements..
and eventually..
achieved the impossible.
However, his dynasty was halted by a combination of super powers.
Now, he has a fresh, young group of reinforcements..
Hungry to help the King revitalize his dynasty and to become the undisputed GOAT
