Damien's intro always makes me imagine the new sheriff riding along the deserted, dusty main street in a Western, just as all of Jaggonath has a touch of the Wild West.
It's not just that, it's an utterly classic sword and sorcery opening, where "A mage and a swordsman ride into town and head to the nearest bar" is the setup for all kinds of adventures. When I first picked this book up, I thought it would be far more S&S than it was.
