Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
110
This
was
the
origin
of
the
system
of
casting
out
the
corrupted
members
of
society.
At
the
time
of
its
adoption,
the
government
endeavoured
to
remove
the
cause
of
the
evil
by
prohibiting,
as
they
had
a
clear
right
to
do,
all
further
intercourse,
for
purposes
of
trade,
with
the
Belzubians:
but
the
latter
had
become
so
depraved
and
sordid,
by
their
addiction
to
traffic,
and
were
so
puffed
up
with
the
idea
that
they
were
the
most
powerful
nation
of
the
two,
that
they
resolved
to
maintain
a
commerce
with
the
Symzonians
by
force,
in
defiance
of
the
regulations
of
the
government.
The
Good
men
were
thus
placed
in
a
most
painful
dilemma.
They
could
not
prevent
this
forced
intercourse
entirely,
Without
shedding
the
blood
of
their
fellow
beings,
to
which
they
felt
an
insurmountable
aversion.
For
a
time
they
contented
themselves
with
endeavours
to
reclaim
the
people.
They
exhorted
them
to
abstain
from
the
use
of
the
things
brought
by
the
Belzubians;
and
finally
succeeded
so
far
as
to
diminish
the
advantages
which
their
enemies
had
before
derived
from
the
trade,
so
as
to
make
it
no
longer
worth
pursuing.
The
Belzubians
then
sent
armed
men
in
their
ships
to
take
possession
of
Symzonia,
and
compel
the
Good
men
and
the
people
to
submit
to
the
contaminating
intercourse
demanded
by
their
cupidity.
The
most
frightful
distress
now
pervaded
the
land.
The
enemy
having
to
do
with
a
people
who
had
no
arms,
and
who
were
in
the
highest
degree
averse
to
the
shedding
of
blood,
easily
conquered
a
large
portion
of
the
country.
Those
who
had
been
corrupted
by
intercourse
with
them,
joined
the
standard
of
the
Belzubians,
and
forwarded
their
views.
