Overall it has warmed the cockels of my heart and made me start dreaming up all new schemes for Urik to wrest the iron mines from the pitiful 'Free' city of Tyr. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Thaumaturge.</blockquote>
