Calling a Grook a toad, a Human an ape and a Horkval a roach would
be the equivalent of calling a Vampire a leech. That would be
disrespectful and deserve an immediate and painful death. If you
take the word Vampire to be a slur, please again consider that
it was the true Immortals who gave us our names, and direct your
complaints towards Them. They can use a hearty laugh.

Penned by my hand on the 15th of Severin, in the year 90 MA.
