 Thus concludes the hearsay portion of this story, at least for a while. I can tell you firsthand about the bedchambers of Dagmar Guernetal, nay, Greenhorn, who was called High Queen of the Human Realms of Jordan. I can tell you of how the curtains were drawn, and the lavish room, dank and dark, on the day that her lifeblood ran out of her womb.
