ARTIFACT: "The Story Of Peasant Handsomeface And Trogdor"

DESCRIPTION: Several pages of crudely home-made paper, constructed mostly out of rags and lint.

ORIGIN: Recovered from the remains of a burninated thatch-roofed cottage. Papers seemed to
have escaped complete combustion due to being so moist.

DATE: Unknown.

TRANSCRIPT:

****************************************************************************************************
THE STORY OF PEASANT HANDSOMEFACE AND TROGDOR
BY ME, PEASANT HANDSOMEFACE

My story begins with my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Handsomeface, who produced me, Dave. I soon went
exclusively by my last name because it was so much better, and which certainly worked as good P.R.
for my, if we're being completely honest, extremely handsome face. Life was good until TROGD[TEXT
BURNT]rrived! How do I describe this monster? Imagine an "S", but placed beside another, slightly
different "S". He had a single muscley arm whic[TEXT BURNT]umate Vs. He took one glance at me and
my wonderful thatched roof and roa[TEXT BURNT]IRE NATION SHALL BE BURNT, HENCE THE WORD,
'BURNINATION'". I could only blink in surprise, stunned as I was by his even handsomer

had to sho[TEXT BURNT]ate my face significantly less handsome, and for that I shall NEVER fo[TEXT

this document in my beautiful, beautiful tears and stuffed into my roof, I'm certain that my story
will FINALLY be told. If you are reading this, please, heed my words! TROGDOR may sound like fun
and games, but we handsome peasants have families! Handsome families! Why are WE to have our
homes destroyed for your entertainment? Who are YOU to [TEXT BURNT]
****************************************************************************************************

ANALYSIS OF TEXT: It's fine. It's probably nothing. We should all just ignore it.
