There's no grief in that; but think-there's someone loose hereabouts as is more dangerous than any other damned rebel that ever walked since the bad old times, since the Great Siege. Something has slipped.'

I wonder could ol' Gorbag be 3000+ years old
My interpretation of that is that Gorbag was just citing history. It
doesn't necessarily indicate he witnessed it personally.
