Allison kicks down the door, Solomon reminds her that they're in the tournament arc, the preliminary round starts tomorrow, a nearby scribe hands her an entry form and invoice for the door repair, and shoos her out.

A servant hands Solomon a fresh glass of juice with a twisty straw, and he begins his calisthenics

Allison uses the burning power of Will to cut a door into Solomon's tower. He immediately invites her to join his in-progress session of fourth-dimension ultra-Crossfit.

Very well, Al-Yis-Un, we shall battle. But before you challenge me, Solomon David, Lord of a Seventh of Creation, I have one question for you...

are all your permits and licenses current? Well we need to get that squared away first, don't we. I think just this once we can waive the fees. They cost an arm and a leg! Ha ha. Seriously we cut your arms and legs off for violations. Aaah, we like to have fun here. Anyway, take a left out the throne room, down the hall, last door on the right will be Accreditation, where they'll get you situated with all the relevant paperwork. You do have two forms of ID, right? Ooof, well that's going to complicate things...

"When I grow up, I'm gonna be a proper swordsman. One with clothes."
Solomon David habitually shops at the sacred farmers' markets which he has established across his Celestial Empire, rejecting fruit which has not been ethically sourced (i.e. from penis trees) and non-microbrew devil liquor; in this, he defies the immoral excess of Throne's established supermarket chain, Wal-Mottom

One day, when Solomon David was walking through the halls of his palace, he overheard a hapless clerk remark to a colleague, "Actually, I think Modest Mouse's later albums were better."

None survived the purge.

Honestly Solomon David being consumed by proving that he is the one demiurge that can make things work to the point of insane, all-consuming obsession for order and disclipine (in an universe which is built on chaos and being wanton, making it ultimately a fruitless exercise) would definitely fit the whole Pride theme.

Mottom mocked Solomon David for thinking he's still a hero, so he might be happy with his seventh of creation because he lacks the self awareness that the other Demiurges seem to have.

I suspect his thing will be that he thinks he's a good guy who's making the universe a better place even though he's gone way past the line and ended up evil like all the others.

I'm guessing his worlds make 1984 or the Castle look good. Or worse, like in the Book of the New Sun, there is a nation of "tamed" people that can only quote the official texts:

Gene Wolfe posted:

Speaking almost to myself, I said, "It must surely be a trick, or a lie, or a mistake. Such a nation could not exist."
And the Ascian, his voice no louder than my own had been, and perhaps even softer, answered, "How shall the state be most vigorous? It shall be most vigorous when it is without conflict. How shall it be without conflict? When it is without disagreement. How shall disagreement be banished? By banishing the four causes of disagreement: lies, foolish talk, boastful talk, and talk which serves only to incite quarrels. How shall the four causes be banished? By speaking only Correct Thought. Then shall the state be without disagreement. Being without disagreement it shall be without conflict. Being without conflict it shall be vigorous, strong, and secure."
I had been answered, and doubly.

I've always pictured Solomon's realm like that one episode of Star Trek where they go to this idyllic planet where everything is amazing, and it's revealed that ANY transgression is punishable by death. You basically get to live a perfect life as long as you never, EVER, step out of line.

First offense, a year and a day of hard labor and "reeducation". Second offense, death. Applies to all violations of the Code of Solomon. Giving people a strike and is how he justifies being the good guy.

Lying in court is the natural defense of the guilty. Anyone accused of a crime who is lying in Solomon's courts will soon receive their strike for their true crime, no need to double-dip.

Now, any kind of fabrication of evidence or false testimony, on the other hand, that's immediate death.
