"Long have I drifted without a course
A rudderless ship I have sailed
The Nile just keeps flowing without a source
Maybe all the seekers just failed?
To Holmgard and beyond
In search of a bond
Far from home I've come
But the road has just begun
Breathing history
Veiled in mystery
The sublime
The greatest of our time
Tsargrad!
'Come with us to the south
Write your name on our roll'
I was told;
Konstantinopolis
Sui generis
The saints and emperors
Of bygone centuries
The man-made birds in their trees
Out load their paean rings
Immortality!
In astonishing colours the East meets the West
The hill-banks arise in their green
In wonder I sit on my empty chest
As we glide down the strait in between
To Holmgard and beyond
In search of a bond
Distant church bells toll
For their god they chant and troll
The Norwegian of rank
In the court of The Prince
I was convinced
Konstantinopolis
Ten gates to eternity
Seen all for centuries
Your inconquerable walls
Your temples and your halls
See all, hear all, know it all
My sun rose in the North and now sets in the South
The Golden Horn lives up to its name
From tower to tower a chain guards its mouth
Unbreakable, they claim
To Holmgard and beyond
In a seach of a bond
Adventures lie ahead
Many knots lie unravelled on my thread
Konstantinopolis
Queen of the cities
Your welcoming smile
Made all worthwhile
The sweat and the pain
Bathing in gold
Endless rooftops unfold
The sun sets for a while just to rise again
Great halls
Great halls
Greatest of all, Miklagard"

♪ Istanbul, not Constantinople...

I like how in Witcher 3 higher vampire is part of "mere" level 16 quest, while in book Geralt muses that the higher vampires are so dangerous even to him that there's no faction or person in the North so rich that they could pay him enough dangerous work compensation to face a higher vampire. :P

Poor Imm, the last active member of AoD.

Now that's what I call a lullaby:

"I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—'Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.'"
:P

"...We wonder,—and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place."

We need to go deeper.

"Go slowly now, sands of time
Still have some verses to pour
This wonder of life has led me home
Like a poet of Scotland once scribed:
Home is the sailor
Home from the sea
And the hunter home from the hill
Go slowly now, sands of time
Still have a memory to make
Dancing to Auld Lang Syne
Thinking of the heather of home"

"You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energy's spent at last
And my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?"

It reminds me of this:

*reading through job ad*

*squints*

"kills required:"

I guess this design/engineering office is a front for the some sort of assassin organization.

I think my IQ just dropped by a significant margin after reading that.

Could be a subtle way of filtering applicants by finding out which ones point out the error and which don't?

Nah it's just a mistake. A funny one though.

Always remember, stay away from the "Liquidations" column and you'll be safe.

Speaking of weird job offers; I've seen "Experienced DM is requested for the week-long D&D tournament in Paleo Faliro, only serious offers."
I wish I was experienced.
