ЭлантрисЗначится, Элантрис - город с зомбями: де-факто мертвы, но двигаются, и жрать хочется смертно, а каждая царапина болит вечность, они же ж мертвые и на них ничего не заживает.
Галладон про Сарене, "жену" Раодона
" если эта женщина твоя судьба, то бог смилостивился над тобой, послав тебя сюда". Добрый, да?
