Card Trivia:Therodimus the Atomic Monarch


 * This card's name references the short story "Second Dawn" by Arthur C. Clarke. This story features a species that has well-developed psychic abilities but no hands or fingers. As a result, they have no knowledge of architecture, physics, or any other manipulation of the tangible world. Therodimus is a scholar that discovers a race with nimble hands but little intelligence. United, the two races are able to pass through multiple ages of craftsmanship quickly. By the end of the book, they have discovered their first-ever radioactive mineral. It is filed away among other curiosities, and it will be many generations before they find what it is capable of doing.
