Richard Crawley came up with a lovely scenario hook or two.
>the local Lunar garrison are growing tomatoes in the grounds of their
>fort, ... and lo and behold when one is cut the words "Victory to the Red
>Mother who masters demons and drives her enemies before her like chaff
>before the wind"(1) are revealed within.
>These same fanatics will insist on the local garrison marching barefoot
>as the recently-delivered consignment of marching sandals bears a
>locally-applied inscribed decoration which looks suspiciously like the
>verse "The name of the Red Goddess be emblazened across the heavens by the
>souls of the righteous" which must not be soiled by contact with the rude
>earth.
I would just remind you that, acording to the results of a long-ago

There IS no written form of Stormtongue.
