Once upon a time in the town of Rhyme and Reason there were two factions that coexisted peacefully. One faction called themselves the Rhymers. They loved color and found beauty in the chaos. The other loved order and found solace in rules. They called themselves the Reasoners. Overtime the two factions found that they could no longer live amongst each other and decided to split the town in two. The Rhymers formed the town of Rhyme on the left side of the river and the Reasoners formed the town of Reason on the right side of the River. All was well until each side decided that a single river was not enough to separate the two villages; one faction would have to leave the valley. But which one? It’s time for battle… prepare your slingshot!
