"The apothecary's name was Owlglass. He hummed to himself as he worked in his back room. He'd found a new type of blue fluff, which he was grinding down. It was probably good for curing something. He'd have to try it out on people until he found out what."

"On the Disc, the Gods aren't so much worshipped, as they are blamed."
