"All decent folk find the common rat repulsive. Harbinger of disease, it scavenges on our waste-heaps and frightens our children.

They are the dark side of our souls, come to destroy us for our sins." +++ Albrecht of Nuln. Burned at the stake, IC 1301 for pernicious declamation +++

"Your doom is coming, man-things." +++ Anon +++

Give us another one, Bessie." +++ Rat-catcher Ludwig Nusbaum addresses the other customers after drinking too much ale in the tavern +++
