There is something very satisfying about research, about gathering all the pieces and slotting them together. Even very prosaic pieces, like these.

And no, not everything is online. (But gosh, the amount I can do with an internet connection? I am still, sometimes, stunned.)

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
