"When the news of the Dragonrise came, Takenegi ordered that watch be
kept by night throughout the city of Glamour, to prevent outbreak, and
prolonged the terms of the governors of the provinces, that they might
be held to their allegiance by experienced men with whom they were
acquainted. He also vowed great games to his Divine Mother, in case
the condition of the Empire should improve, a thing which had been
done in the Seleric wars.

"In fact, they saw that he was so greatly affected that for several
months in succession he cut neither his beard nor his hair, and
sometimes he would dash his head against a door, crying: "Tatius, give
me back my legions!" And he observed the day of the disaster each year
as one of sorrow and mourning."
