With thanks to FoME for answering a seemingly endless slew of questions, giving indispensable advice, providing endless encouragement, and also inspiring this whole dumb idea and getting me into Magic is the first place.

With thanks to PegasusMesa for editing help with Early Modern English in that one chapter with the elephants. And also just being cool.

And of course, for everyone else who read this story. Thank you, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart.
