		This is an article written by Ryan Condal for the a rendition of "Longclaw" from George R.R. Martins series "A song of Ice and Fire".
		Because Longclaw is such a large sword, it benefits greatly from the reduced mass granted by the fullers.
		The pommel is one element of Longclaw that unfortunately had to deviate from the sword's description in A Game of Thrones.

		But Longclaw wanted to be home, with his pack, and turned for the lodge as soon as he had the chance.
		It had been far longer than he'd expected before everyone in the lodge had retired from the main area, and he had realized not long after leaving that there was no way he was going to get this accomplished in the time he had remaining.
		It was about then that he noticed that Longclaw had fallen behind, his leg doing him no favors as far as speed was concerned.

	:: PMA :: Virtual Collection ::
		A large robust pipit, the Cape Longclaw (Macronyx capensis), also known as the Orange-throated Longclaw, is a common resident of the "veld" (grasslands) of southern Africa (South Africa, Rhodesia).
		Yet the two groups of birds are not closely related: the former belongs to a group of primarily Old-world species, the pipits and wagtails (Motacillidae), while the latter belongs to a diverse group of nine-primaried songbirds mostly from the Americas that includes buntings and wood warblers.
		The longclaws and meadowlarks also have evolved long claws to their hind toe.

		Sharpe's Longclaw Macronyx sharpei occurred at densities of 1.2 individuals sq ha on grasslands and was the second-most commonly observed species.
		Sharpe's Longclaw occurred at a relatively high overall density, of 1.2 individuals per sq ha, throughout the 37 plots, i.e.
		However, it is probable that the species was under-recorded during the counts as the transect method used was designed for surveying Sharpe's Longclaw and may not be as appropriate for the cisticola, which may also utilise different habitat.

		The few American species include the water, or rock, pipit, Anthus spinoletta, which breeds in the Arctic and winters in the E United States, and the Sprague's pipit of the Great Plains, noted for the spectacular courtship flight and song of the male.
		The African longclaw has elongated hind toes suited to running over the veldt.
		The wagtails, members of the same family, are named for their habit of bobbing their tails, and are usually found near water in temperate Eurasia and Africa; the only New World species is the yellow wagtail of the northern tundra.

		Longclaw knows that only in that bed, and here on the hearth, is the temperature anywhere near comfortable.
		Longclaw, glad to hear the relative calm of her moans and growls, compared to the blood-curdling screams of the last few hours, bundles up in winter gear, augmenting his thick orange fur, and dons protective goggles to traverse the ten meters to the coal shed.

		Rufousbellied Heron, Pygmy Goose, Lesser Jacana and Pinkthroated Longclaw are more easily seen here (summer), and in winter Shorttailed Pipit is not uncommon in areas of short grass.

		We were seeing various color morphs of Yellow Wagtail in abundance and plenty of Slaty Egret, but it took a while to locate a longclaw.
		When one of these birds finally flushed just ahead of us, rising in longclaw fashion with lots of apparently ineffectual fluttering of wings, resulting in its typical short, laboring flight, yours truly's face must have been a study in delight.
		What makes this notable is the fact that the two birds are not related, the longclaws belonging to the wagtail and pipit family, while meadowlarks are related to New World flbirds, cowbirds and orioles.

		And speaking of Africa, the final group of motacilids in the family are seven species of Macronyx longclaws and the closely related Golden Pipit Tmetothylacus tenellus.
		Certainly the best known is Yellow-throated Longclaw (left), resident in grasslands south of the Sahara and celebrated in books and museums for its resemblance to North America meadowlarks, completely unrelated icterids.
		Together, the pipits, wagtails, and longclaws present an interesting and challenging group.

		The Pipits and Longclaws have always been known to "run" the grasslands how they want to, and so do the Wagtails.
		There are many Pipits and Wagtail species and only 3 Longclaw species, but all of these birds are relatively common and you should be able to witness them in the grassland biomes of South Africa.

		Note that Pink-throated Longclaw occurs on the floodplains of the reserve, but these are not freely accessible.
