Importance of the Staff of Law
Drool Rockworm
Red Herring
 Drool Rockworm has the Staff
 Lord Foul is weakened from
his battle with Kevin
 That fact is Cause for Terror
 Cavewights, wolves, urviles,
and Demons answer to the
power of the staff
 Drool will use the staff to look
for the Illearth Stone and
make the universe a hell
forever(1)
Notes
 Lord Foul needs to buy some
time to regain his strength
 To divert the council’s
attention, he sends Covenant
on a quest to tell the Council
of Lords
 that Drool has the staff
 they need the staff to
resist Lord Foul for 7
years.
(1) Refer to “The Illearth War,”
sequel to “Lord Foul’s Bane”

Missing Digits:
An Overview of Leprosy
 History tells us that leprosy is one of the
oldest scourges of mankind. For a long time
leprosy was thought to be hereditary disease,
a punishment from God.
 However, in 1873, it was discovered that the
bacillus Mycobacterium Leprae was the real
cause of leprosy and not God.

Leprosy Continued
 Leprosy attacks the nerve cells. The patients
may be unable to feel when they get injured.
Serious disabilities occur including the loss of
fingers and toes.
 Leprosy is mainly spread by tiny droplets from
the nose and not from God.
 Leprosy is a curable disease, which means
that all active Mycobacteria can be killed.
