MitD (off-panel): And it's not even color-coded, or bullet-pointed, or anything!
| “ | To Durkon,

Trivia[]
- The stress on the first "HA" in the Demon-Roach's "HA-ha!" suggest it is a reference to the catchphrase of Nelson from The Simpsons.
- This letter, declaring Durkon's exile revoked was written by, or at the command of High Priestess Rubyrock, who does not appear until page #997
