Yazhk is a prize: she is one of the guards at the Whirling Devreesh Pleasure Palace in Zanth. They are legendary for their beauty, their severity, and their fighting prowess. Many a dandyish and drunk Certament, thinking he could win his way to the ladies within by force or stealth when his coin had run out, has met a sorry fate at the hands of the Devreesh-guard. Never before has one of them consented to so much as an on-the-record interview in her off hours, much less an appearance in our Gentleman’s Publication!
That Fahfion, I know not what wiles he worked upon her, but he seems to think she will not be the last of the guards to appear upon our pages. By the Ten Thousand, may it be so!
