| Lysir and Hadding, being bound thus in the strictest league, declared war against Loker, the tyrant of the Kurlanders. They were defeated; and the old man aforementioned took Hadding, as he fled on horseback, to his own house, and there refreshed him with a certain pleasant draught, telling him that he would find himself quite brisk and sound in body. |

gollark: I don't *think* those are too common, but just put them in a robust container when you're sending them up.
gollark: Oh yes, add warning signs too, obviously.
gollark: So leave it and ignore it in a specific place. Maybe the Moon or something, if space travel gets cheaper.
