“Before we arrive at the village, my lord, you should know
that the inhabitants are all possessed of a bizarre look and manner. Perhaps
due to inbreeding, as is so common in places of extreme isolation, they
universally speak with a lisp.”
“Really?”
“Yes, my lord, and they practice a particularly backwards
religion deifying snakes. They’ve gone so far as to forbid the killing of the
things in their territory. Oddly though, despite the dense population of snakes
in the surrounding area, they never seem to enter the village grounds.”
“We shall need caution when we bed down tonight then.”
