And since Sartar did not become all that Wyrmish until 1625 and later, I think I'll leave those lyrics right where they are. That's what we've been singing since 1492, and if it's good enough for our ancestors it's good enough for me. Argrath can produce his own version if he wants to. Having some bunch of adventuring wannabees adding the Pavis verse was *quite* bad enough.

(happy sigh) Isn't it good when a song acquires its own Gloranthan history?
