RUNBECK DIG
I had no idea what Runbeck was. I decided to get out the old shovels and do a dig. I sought to truncate and shorten where I could. I included links to the stories I looked at. I got an idea of what it is, and I hope what I found is helpful.
I’m doing as I did the Qanteen Christmas Qanticle story; I’ll post the first part on the active thread, and the rest of it as parts on a Festival. Then I’ll put links to all five parts on the active thread.
I think I’m only scratching the surface. There is probably much more to be found, but I just wanted an overview.
