Clochardshire resident, common quote

Gentlemen, BEHOLD! The celestial spider!

The individual beings of the race that came between the creation of the world, and the creation of the mortal races.

Also known as the Ankarran Thistle, Magewort, and a general nuisance.

They were formidable even before they learned how to use weapons.

Nahactl, the Wanderer

gives herself up to the wild hog.

The Atharva Veda

God forbid that I should go to any Heaven where there are no horses.
