The Kurshok have an interesting cousin... - by Petike the Taffer

Funny, I always thought the look of the Kurshok was inspired by Lovecraft's Deep Ones. That might connect them to the infamous Lost City Cthulhu statue and the reference to N'hotep in a letter there. Of course, I could easily be wrong, but the Looking Glass guys seemed to like Mythos stuff.

To quote from TDS:"I count that!"
Seriously though that's pretty good fanart and good to see that they don't have breasts or something stupid like that.

Yesterday I worked with an Arabic-English dictionary from... 1863, according to the copyright, and I found these two words:
khalaqa (خلق) with the old meaning of "to measure" or "to meter" (often referring to leather or maybe fabric), nowadays it usually means "to create" or "to bring something into being"
and
farā (فرى؟) (presumably, I only found it in conjugated forms and haven't looked for the original verb yet) with the meaning of "to cut"
Both are (or rather were) used like proverbs saying: "I cut what I measured" with the meaning of: "I keep what I promised". Why am I posting this at all? "I count, I count your blood and I will cut!"

Not to drive things off-topic, but how is a civilization that is in a state of severe decay able to forge and maintain fine armor and weapons? I did not question this at the time, but I didn't notice until now how intricate those designs are. It would appear to have been more appropriate to give them make-shift protection and rags, but I guess that would have made them seem too similar to the Pagans.
