SCP-701

SCP-701 is a Euclid class object written by tinwatchman and posted in Series I. Known as the "Hanged Kings Tragedy" SCP-701 concerns an anomalous play which drives those who view it to engage in egregious acts of violence and insanity towards themselves and others and features a mysterious figure in every performance known as "The Hanged King." SCP-701 is among the earliest examples of evocative narrative based SCPs, invoking imagery that has inspired numerous SCPS and an entire Canon centered around the world of the Titular Hanged King and Alagadda.
