Before the Black Days was a stage play penned by Auhntryn Valavvur near the end of the 14th century DR.[1]
“
Why did I become a hated magister, who argues out policies
Before the throne, disputes and recriminations day-long?
Lad, 'tis no mystery I'm skilled at sharp-tongue talk, my
Hard-armored hide thick as a dragon's;
I got both those being husband to thy mother.
