Here's one of the oddities in question, a journal entry from Factol Nilesia of the Mercykillers, in Factol's Manifesto.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Factol Mallin had grown old and careless. His heart no longer burned with the bright righteous flame, but instead longed for quiet peace and pastoral beauty. How fitting it is that, at the Mortuary, I asked the Dustmen to dispose of his body on Athas. Surely that blighted world will give him the serenity he so richly deserves.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
