The Gunner of Ustalav

The Gunner of Ustalav is the sixth play by Chelaxian author Ketna Aulamaxa. First performed in 4718 in Kintargo's Aria Park, it is a farcical comedy loosely based on the life of a mercenary acquaintance of Aulamaxa's. It recieved popular acclaim for rejecting the narrative of the stern, devout, and lawful hero that was most popular in Chelaxian literary circles at that time; the titular Gunner, never named in the play itself, is a bombastic and affable murderer, just as likely to solve the obstacles presented to her with brutal violence as with her wits.
