Bad fairy tales in Ether 14.
Incomprehensible adventure tales in Ether 2 -- Superb suffociation-designed barges filled with darkness and totally steer-free -- all according to a bumbling Mormon god's specificiations -- before Jared told him, "Ya kind of screwed up on this, oh Mormon divine one."

That war was just angels V angels...)
