The Mountains of Majipoor (2016)
“The circumstances were much the same as before. At dusk a bonfire flared suddenly atop the mountain wall—a different sector of it this time—and diminutive figures could be seen outlined against the gathering darkness of the sky, dancing wildly about. Then another big half-butchered beast came tumbling down the mountainside, bouncing heavily and ricocheting from the rocks as it dropped. It landed near the place where the other one had fallen.
The disturbance outside brought Harpirias from hi...s room. He saw the king in a state of high ire, shaking his fist at the mountaintop and roaring streams of angry commands at his warriors. Once again the great animal was dragged out of sight; once again, the plaza was ritually purged of bloodstains. Harpirias heard discordant chanting far into the night.
The negotiating session the next morning did not go well.
