The Book of Temples Chapter 35
Hand and Knife’s People
living on mainland
received wandering strangers.
They claimed to be from
a distant tower
temple of Greedy Noble.
They wished to acquire
beautiful things
like art, treasure and jewelry.
Hand and Knife’s People
were eager to trade
for goods they had never seen.
The visitors then
also requested
artisans, craftsmen and such.
Their Child God wanted
these people at home
to create more wondrous things.
Their wish was declined.
No person wanted
to leave with these odd strangers.
Their demeanor changed
when they were denied.
Greedy Noble’s People were wroth.
But they departed
with no violence done.
Laden with treasure and more.
For they had dealt with
the healthy people
though Wasting Slumber still raged.
They contracted disease
and had no symptoms
until they were gone from there.
