> Umm, how does he ascend the throne? Twone. Whatever.
He steps on the back of supplicant Heortling wimmins. Either that, or someone lifts him up by his armpits.
Actually, I used the inverted commas around 'throne' advisedly. That's not actually the throne of the wereducks. For clues as to what it is, there's Waddlewit's poem:
O hoaried feet did cast thy princely tread,
On star-dew'd ground knit tight with sorrows sewn,
Over a kinship lost and kingdom fled.
Away, away, thou errant drake hast flown,
In a bratchet's basket thou made'st thy throne;
Of its sweet suckled milk the poets write,
For thy gold's grave lay in that cup of night.
The 'stout' in Stoutgild doesn't come from any corpulence...
Cheerio,
Stew.
