"Landlines had one advantage: you couldn't see who was calling" --@synekura_audio
"Solomon said: […]South of Sennaar: say then of that plain,
the far wasteland no foot may tread?
Saturn said: That vaunted one, the voyager famed
as 'Raging-Wolf'—marauding pirate
renowned amid the Philistines, Nimrod’s henchman—
on that field he slaughtered five and twenty
dragons at dawnred, before Death took him.
Since then not a soul seeks out that land;
nor do fowl fly there, none that fare on earth:
for there awoke in the world the Worm-Kindred,
that race of reptiles, who by their writhing coils
and with venomed breath, invade in swarms.
But his unsheathed swordblade is shining yet;
over the graves still glitters the gleaming hilt."
