Additionally, the originating artwork is documented at [[Illustrations]] and as a legacy to the epicness of shrimp, most of the current Sorgo-crafted artwork contains a hidden shrimp.

			The reason the shrimp looks like it appears by magic during the shrimp preparation process by application of some kind of magic tool is more inspired by wondrous near-magical furniture construction instructions than by real historical events happening in the game.

			Every game I play
			Every word I say

			With no Pass we've been blocked - can't south migrate
			I dream at night, I just see my camel's face
			I look around, but it's dunes I can't replace
			I feel so cold, and I long for Sun's embrace
			I keep appeasing spirits, spirits, please

			Oh can't you see
			Passage through for me
			From this cool dewy place?
			How many steps it takes

			For a quite few days
			Every step you take
