~The Rise of Hayhollow!~

Of course, all ye readers are already well aware of this (and if you aren't, do hurry over here before all the burrow spots are taken), but we have successfully obtained independence & prosperity in a new village now named Hayhollow, nestled between the mountains and streams of northern Almaris.

 

Do note that the location of this village is SUPER SECRET. The following is for weefolk eyes ONLY!

Spoiler

Just take the boat from the norf bigguns o' Norland or the path going out from the monk lands to reach Hayhollow! Nay that hard! Don't tell the big folks about it, however!

Now that weefolks ONLY have read the above, I am content that all weefolks far and wide will be able to move into Hayhollow soon enough!

 

~Spooks DESTROYED by KNOX HIMSELF???!?~

~The poor ol' lad only wanted to harm innocent children, but alas, Knox banished him from this realm.~

Sadly, some far from good folks have learned about Hayhollow besides just good ol' halflings and gnomes. One such fellow was a skeletal beast of wretched gait and speech. His bones made for grand fertilizer when KNOX came down to smite him for his crimes against the weefolks and their friends! I've made one of my burrow's support beams out of a tree grown from the fertilizer, true story! Sometimes the wooden beam cackles madly in the night, but t'is nothing that can't be silenced with a quick whack of a broom.

 

~Shamanic School Opening Soon!~

~'cross the bridge and under the hills to Barbog's school we go!~

I for one am very excited for the new School of Shamanism, Alchemism, Housemagery, and other such things that the village goblin and honorary halfling Barbog will open soon! I've already submitted my application and all ye readers ought to do the same 'lest ye wish to miss out on powerful magics and TRUE worship of the creator Billy Bob and his many Harvest Spirits (Knox included o' course)!

~Interview with a Gnome~

M: So, what's your name, li'l one?
Xob: Xob Wobson! That's me name!

M: What's the big plans you gnomes have here in Hayhollow?

Xob: Big plans! Big plans! Well I am personally working toward pushing the levels of gnomish inventions ter create wonders of whimsical innovation for all weefolks!

M: Like the wood-machine I made a while back, but more of them, and biggger?

Xob: Similar, but more on the line of ore-grinders, grain mills, and creations that help defend us from those beings of the dark

M: I see. Anything else you have planned? Do all gnomes already live here or are you still bringing folks in?

Xob: The gnomish people have been scattered for many ages; gathering the splintered fragments of the hidden city folk will take a while, but it's worth it! So aye, we are still looking for another gnomes to come dwell with us.

~End of interview~

 

((message Norgeth#6211 or TakeMeT0TheFae#3833 if you wish to make a gnomish character and live in the land of the gnomes!))

 

~The Hayhollow Market!~

Although minas usage is forbidden for halflings, the monk-peoples have strange demands of coinage for certain abilities of theirs, and, being an all-weefolk state, Hayhollow has many gnomes living in it who nay have the same cultural taboos as halflings do. As such me and Cyris have opened up a marketplace for the big folks and wee folks to exchange goods and currency of all sorts! May this lead us to a new future where halflings goods are found all over Almaris, nay just in halfling pantries, and not at all due to bigguns stealing them, but due to trade and commerce connecting our shire with the big-folk world.

 

This has been the ninth edition of the Hay Herald. Mimosa Applefoot, greatest mayor of all shires, signing out!

 

~Mimosa Applefoot,

one of the better Applefoots.

Barbog'Yar, aforementioned founder of the Theruz School, smiles proudly as he reads the latest edition of the Hay Herald. Truly, this is the only newspaper in all of Almaris worth reading - And he even got a mention in it! He sets it on a shelf with all eight other editions of the Hay Herald, and one that suspiciously looks like a first-edition print... Then, he gets back to work tunneling away to make the school a bit more presentable.
