	[[King Doerdon]], a native of [[Oerth]], was an incredibly [[humorless]] man who never "got the joke". For the life of him, he could never figure out why any joke or humorous story or anecdote was funny. Doerdon went so far as to have a festival of laughter, inviting the most well-known [[bard\|bards]] and [[jester\|jesters]] across the land to attend, but even then he found no humor. He soon became the butt of his ~~subject~~'s jokes, something he did not appreciate. In retaliation, he banned laughing under the pain of death. The king would personally walk the streets with an magical staff imbued with a ''~~wierd~~'' spell, slaying anyone so much as cracking a smirk.
