The Capital Council

Within the fastness of Haug Heikur was a chamber which none but the master may open. In it were kept eight heads of men long dead which by sorcerous means were preserved and compelled to answer questions put to them in full candor.
This is known when little else of what goes on in that dismal citadel is, for its master Affjesarr boasts often of the excellent advice he had always at hand. One day when Affjesarr again vaunted his chamber, the man Pyolurr furthered a reputation he had won for cleverness.
"Had I occasion to assemble a council, I should prefer men who had not suffered so signal a reduction with regard to their persons."
