“What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs—I was a man before I was a king.”

Once you've listened to enough obscure stoner doom metal the albums in your youtube recommendation start toeing the line between "comedy gold" and "images that go hard"

Striking with a katar, a form of push dagger with an H-shaped perpendicular grip and a wide blade originating in India (Terry Dykstra, from "New Weapons For Old," describing a dozen new weapons for AD&D, by Jordan Clarke Hayes, Dragon 169, May 1991). The article misnames this weapon a "basilard," apparently due to a misinterpretation of the same term "H-shaped" used to describe a very different grip.
