On the border of the Slags, not far from Allesha’s Pantry, stands a stone wall nearly a block long and as tall as a storm giant. It’s all that’s left of a protective bulwark, smashed to pieces when the Blood War threatened to spill over from the Slags into the rest of the Hive. The wall, made of a soft black stone from Gehenna, has proven to be an irre- sistible lure for every berk with a chisel or a piece of chalk and something to say. Embarrassing poetry (“When I get to Elysium/ I’ll bring peace to ’em”), questionable boasts (“Mighty Queten killed him ten barghests before he could walk”) and inane declarations of love (“H.F. would follow M.C. into the Abyss just to see her smile”) cover just about every square inch of the wall.
For a basher with a few hours to kill, it makes for interesting reading. And the basher who looks close enough might pick up some useful information. For instance, near the bottom left corner of the wall, some sod has carved several sets of Xs and Os. A comment accompanies each set. This isn’t the carver’s idea of art; it’s a list of house marks provided as sort of a courtesy to newcomers. What do the marks mean? Apparently, who- ever put ’em up there figured that a basher who wants t know badly enough’ll find a way to figure ’em out.
