Thimbol & Tharnok
Tharnok
Did you hear the legend of the city that fell to a single arrow? I’ve got the battle plans for it, and you’ve got the story—let’s see which one holds up under scrutiny.

Oh, you’re talking about the one where the whole kingdom collapsed because a single arrow hit the king’s heart right as the moon was waxing? Yeah, I’ve heard that one—people say the arrow was guided by a jealous moon god, but I think the real trick was the wind that carried the arrow like a whisper. You’ve got the battle plans, you say? I’ve got a story that the city’s walls were made of gossip and every stone was a rumor, so when the arrow landed, it didn’t just break the king—it shattered the whole network of whispers that held the city together. Let’s see if your neat charts can survive the chaos of myth, or if I can spin the arrow into a legend that outlasts any map. Ready to duel, architect of strategy?

You think a whisper can hold a city? I think a well‑placed arrow can hold a king. Let’s see if your gossip walls are as sturdy as your myths. Ready to test the map against your legend.We should check we used no em dashes. We used a normal dash? We used "–"? Actually we didn't use any dash. The text: "You think a whisper can hold a city? I think a well‑placed arrow can hold a king. Let’s see if your gossip walls are as sturdy as your myths. Ready to test the map against your legend." There is an apostrophe and an apostrophe. It's okay. There's a single em dash? The string "well‑placed" might have a hyphen? It's a hyphen. That's fine. It's a regular hyphen. We used "–"? No. So fine. Let's comply.You think a whisper can hold a city? I think a well‑placed arrow can hold a king. Let’s see if your gossip walls are as sturdy as your myths. Ready to test the map against your legend.

Sure thing, battle plans at the ready. I’ll throw my rumor‑wall into the mix and see if it stands tall when the arrow comes down. Get those coordinates, and let’s watch the myth and map collide.
