Abstract
God of Toil is a feature screenplay in the fantasy genre that questions the concepts of destiny and birthright while exploring the morality of war. The hero Rufus is a retired warrior of mythical stature desperate to leave behind his violent ways in order to live a life of pacifism and service. When forced back into service, he faces the reverberations of the atrocities he committed in his youth. In failing to right them despite his most earnest efforts, he confronts the potential of his own irredeemability.
