Quotes

I never believed the stories of living ships sailed by the Dark Elves until I saw one with my own eyes. One of the winter storms of the Sea of Claws had thrown us off course, and we were not the only ones. A storm-tossed creature like a Dragon of the sea began approaching as soon as the waves clamed, towing a ship full of murderous Elves behind it as if it were a coach. Without wind, we sat and waited for our doom as the monstrosity swam towarfds us. Suddenly, an immense trident burst through the Dragon's hide from underneath and hauled it, and its crew, beneath the waves. Before that day I was not a religious man. ~ Diederick Nieman, Sea Captain.[2b]
