Premium Story: A Dream of a Thousand Tails

A truncated Hagiogratphy of Rat Saints one might hear of (doesn’t spoil anything in the story, and intentionally leaves out many delicious details for each entry):

  1. Anatoly the Gold, who built a body out of ratwork, and who lived on, ticking, for long after his funeral.
  2. Sylvia Stumptail, a Bandit-Chief of the Prickfinger Wastes.
  3. A monk known as the Penitent, who took a vow of silence and offered blessings beneath the great beast of St Fiacre’s.
  4. Gerelt the Wick, who drowned in wax and lit the way for her litter to run to safety.
  5. Pious Henry, who, by all accounts, wasn’t very interesting at all.
  6. Spot the Unmaker, a piebald beast born on the Salt Lions.
  7. Midnight Delger, who empited a Khan’s vaults without ever been seen.
  8. Jemmy of the Diamond Eye, maker of the most beautiful ratwork ever to grace the Carnelian Coast.
  9. Blake Brass-Horn, […] (they say) treated with Goat-Demons and learned the secret printing and metalworking techniques of Hell.
  10. One who is not a saint with a name.
