_______________________________________________

In Klingon tradition Kahless forged the first *bat'leth* from a lock of his own hair which he placed in the lava from the Kri'stak volcano. He then plunged the burning lock into the lake of Lursor, twisted it into a blade with which he killed the evil tyrant Molor.

And Kahless was alone
    Walking along the shore,
    His fate heavy on his shoulders.
Kahless sits at the shores
    Of the lake of fire
    As an old warrior passes by.  (PB)
