[Dragaera] Striving towards Paarfiction...

[Davdi Silverrock]

Taking into account my own desire for cleaner flow, a desire for stoic
irony, and the avoidance of adjectives that are reminiscent of
massively injured war veterans, I offer:

Revision Mk 17:

My esteemed mother and father, in search of diversion from their
diminishing duties and mounting cares, traveled to Dragaera City and
sojourned there at no small expense (enjoying tolerably fine meals and
entertainments), just at that crucial point in our history when, in
addition to unrest and uprisings in the city, the conflict between the
Dragon Heir Lord Adron e'Kieron and the Phoenix Emperor Tortaalik
erupted into open rebellion, culminating in the explosion of raw
amorphia that transformed the city and its environs into the Lesser
Sea of Chaos; and while I am indeed glad that my parents had the good
fortune to escape the Disaster with their lives, the only token of
their adventure that I had the honor of receiving was the simple
garment that you see before you, which, you perceive, is of sadly
cheap and common fabric, and solid, buttonless design: this very
shirt.
