In the walled city of Kagool, where men were held in thraldom to the worship of the sacred voles, Erryj and his companion Windloon came by night to a tavern, and drank awhile in silence.
To their table came then a cloaked figure, who at a gesture from Erryj revealed himself to be none other than Dylan Worm, a distant kinsman of doomed Erryj. "Dark peril threatens, my lord. Again the fate of the World hangs in the balance, for powers beyond the ken of man have been loosed by the sorcerer Thebes Shagreen! When only you may save us all, it ill becomes you to sit drinking at the Sign of the Engorged Lymphatic!"
