I learned the word "limn" from fantasy novel THE GOLDEN KEY by Elliott, Rawn, and Roberson -- and had no idea the word is considered "obscure."

That novel is still one of my favorite fantasy novels ever. There is nothing else out there like it. If you're into fantasy and haven't consumed this one, YOU REALLY NEED TO. ✌️🤘🖖
