The interesting thing that you learn after
carefully selecting one of their priests and
getting him drunk, is that in ancient times burz-
meant darkness. There were also ravings about a
fiery mountain (possible given the geographical
range of the Burzeon) and an elaborate myth
surrounding a golden ring and the return of their
God. But as I say, the man was drunk, so we must
be careful with data elicited under such
circumstances.
