I'd need a verifiable source for Sleipnir making his own rounds, since
Norseband's "serious" material (most of it) should be as true to myth
as *band-style gameplay allows. If it's genuine myth, that bit of
trivia seems better suited to Sleipnir's description in the monster
files. (I probably will use some "supernatural beings passing by"
message for that time range, though; most players wouldn't recognize
the line I originally quoted from the Eddas. *blush*)
