INFORMATION
The inside of the Slave-Mound breaks the laws of physics.

Horses on Silversun have a horn in the centre of their foreheads, clawed feet instead of hooves and a pointed fleshy tail.

BLACK HAWK
He discovers Bloodblade with the Slave-Mound, but realises that it is a trap. When Zog springs it, Black Hawk fights the demon. He chops its hand off and steals Bloodblade before another can reform.

BEST LINES
"Zog!" as shouted by the BB's is great.
