And since it is written down that means others can read it, too." Mostly things about the geography, flora, fauna, and early history of the Hollowed Grounds.

Talk of the cube and the thought of Remi and Sam arm-wrestling had him laughing, a quiet chuckle of amusement as he leaned back. "Well, it doesn't make you stronger," he conceded. "But does it make you heavier, perhaps? Or immovable? Did Remi try to push you back or pick you up while you were holding the cube?"
