Creditor. One of a tribe of savages dwelling beyond the Fina

Summary

This quote is a humorous and satirical description of a creditor, suggesting that they are like a savage tribe that lives in a distant and uncharted territory known as the Financial Straits. The reference to their "desolating incursions" implies that creditors can have a negative impact when they come after individuals or businesses to collect debts. This playful explanation serves as a lighthearted critique of the role of creditors in the financial world.
