“Obvious solutions to serious problems often go thousands of years before being stumbled upon. Hand protection on swords, for example, took a remarkably long time to develop; and sanitation in surgery took even longer, and that was with the best and brightest medical practitioners of several eras all cogitating over their tremendous death rates.”

“I played a few games myself, back in the days before consoles were ousted by the PC Master Race, and I’ve thought more than once about how these virtual worlds are made of numbers. Ones and zeroes, unless I’m mistaken. But think about this for a moment: what about the unseen particles that make up the human body? The atoms that make up everything we see and feel? Is it not true that the closer we look, the less we see? It’s not the collection of atoms that matter, but the man, yet the atoms are the matter that make the man. Can the same logic not be applied to the world we’re in now? Shanawan is made of numbers, but it’s not the numbers that matter: it’s Shanawan. If my cells malfunction I get sick and die. If the numbers falter we get glitches and lag. When we look at a landscape we see a landscape, not atoms. When we look at Shanawan we see Shanawan, not numbers. The two aren’t on the same level, yet they aren’t entirely dissimilar. The game is both fantasy and reality. Not too different from man.”

“Every race has its own qualities and affinities! Why, take us dwarves, for example. We are the finest smiths in all the realms! Except the elves. Their work is finer. But of course, no one can match us dwarves for strength! Except the elves: they are far stronger than we. And then there are wizards, who are the wisest of all peoples. Wisest of all, that is, save the elves. Ah, and then we have men! The most fearless and ingenious and creative of all speaking species! Second only to elves, who are more fearless, and more ingenious, and more creative. But then we have goblins like yourself, Plumleaf, who have sharp eyes and silent feet, and can see in darkness better than all other races. All other races but elves, who can see far better in the dark than any other-”
