COMMENTARY
A common feeding rhyme for little babies, "tis thought that this little ditty is part of the corpus of legendary tales regarding the world before Sosaria (see the wonderful fables of Fabio the Poor for fictionalized versions of these stories, also available from this same publisher).
:
According to these old tales, which survive mostly in the hills and remote villages where Lord British is as yet a distant and mythical ruler, the gods of old (a fanciful notion!) met to discuss the progress of creating the world in mystical rooms. A simple analysis reveals these rooms to be mere mythological generalizations. "The Star Chamber" is clearly a reference to the sky. "The Pit" is certainly an Underworld analogous to the Snakehills of other tales, and "the Glass House" is no doubt the vantage point from which the gods observed their creation. All is simple when seen from this perspective, leaving only the mysterious reference to dinners. Oddly enough, the rhyme is universally used only for midnight feedings, never during the day. May Poison thee. The most magical device in the dungeon is a mystical bridge that can only be triggered by a level embedded in the floor. Be wary however. For the bridge thus created doth burst into flame when one passeth across is! Oft have I wondered of the boy named Japheth I know is the Guildmaster of Paladins who died last year warring amidst the orcs, and though he had indeed sandy hair, I cannot picture him side by side with a feral girl whose tongue has tasted of human flesh. Yet the paths of fate are strange indeed, and I suppose 'tis possible that this paladin died defending his remembered lady's honor, unknowingly struck down by the orc that she called father. 'Tis my fond hope that other travelling minstrels shall learn from my experiences and apply themselves to practicing these skills in order to preserve life and limb.
