Notes

Of a shot taken from an impossible angle, a coat cut so a man can barely move in it, a piece of clockwork built to a tolerance nothing requires, and an argument won by the longest available route.

Admired in Shining Reach, where display is the whole business, and thought faintly ridiculous in Clearhold, where the Wanshaeth is the compliment. Each city finds the other’s usage absurd and neither is going to change.
