[Elizabeth Kenney] ______________________________________________ Within an oddly shaped home, as dishes soared, cleansing themselves, a young girl ran about. Her calloused, bare-feet marked sweat prints upon the waxed wooden floors with every step. The gaggles of cats squealed with unease as their gazes trailed her every move. “Blankets! O’ momma! I need blankets!” No voice returned, for her mother was not home. Instead, her newest addition to the Lesanov-Falcone brood chimed in return. “WELCOME TO VINO E SIGARI! WELCOME TO VINO E SIGARI!” The automaton bird squealed repeatedly. Mischa, seemingly understanding the thing's call, returned with a hasty: “No! They are not in the drawers, Gino. I already checked- gee!” As the girl ran from the spire of her home, all the way to the hidden nooks below, the lively kitchen prepared meals upon meals- soon to be packaged and sent off for the north.

"First they get a bunch of Noomies killed, now this!" Laments a young Mischa. "This. . this is a mockery." The Lesanov now sought out for her tutor, wishing to draw such to her attention. @Moenah

Arn. . Mischa thought to herself, gently wiping at Koeng Siggy's tomb. Her tutor, Elizaveta, loomed just beside the Lesanov, reading to her dearest children. He couldn't have lied. Perhaps he is taking his rest.

“Wasn't it!? A years supply. . O' how amazing!” Magda returned, peering over her husband's shoulder with naught but a grin upon her face.

[!] Numerous copies of this newsletter were thrown about Karosgrad and Vienne – from the inside both palaces, all the way to the docks, outside the gates, and scattered amongst city walls. Unlike the missives that came before, this one was written with much more force – neatly written and filled with threats. This was a declaration of war. ─────── °✾° ─────── LET this serve as a warning – to all self-said rulers and PRETENDERS, Ana-something called herself that, not my words!, of Hoonse and their blind followers. After how you treated my HIGH MAGICAL MARSHALL, ELISA BARUCH, and MYSELF, I have been left with NO choice. We have had meetings with both the former Bishop King, the former Beatrice Queen, and the Barbanov Koenas. And all meetings have opened my eyes to what Hoonse truly is, always has been, and always will be. Much like soup boils in a pot, Hoonse makes a boiling pot of boringness and purposelessness and uselessness every year and every generashon that it exists. It only seeks to turn children who are creative and smart into boring, ordinary adults instead of amazing, unordinary ones who provide something to this world. And the fantasy of a made-up title with no role proves this. It is what the people of Hoonse love so much. Titles worth nothing, and they have NO purpose other than to party. Whereas in the Fae Realm, the title signifies what you protect and serve, and take care of all the time. You can keep insulting us, the ones who bring something interesting to this world, and running off to your squash-smelling parties, but we will accept no treaty and no answer but con-quest. Absorbing Hoonse into the Empire of the Fae Realm not only will give you the purpose you really need, but will prevent future rulers of Hoonse from harming inhabitants of the Faedom. After the loss of Rhinonathan, peace be upon him, the harming of the Forest Spirit, and the genocide of Ratatoostadt (that the King, Karl III, still has yet to anser for), I will do whatever it takes to make sure no uncanny-creature, fae, spirit or deity is harmed ever again. I hereby declare WAR on the Kingdom of Hoonse. Your leaders may make empty threats, but we have an entire REALM on our side. I don’t make threats, they are only promises and speak truths. In this war, I will use the force of the roots of the Forest Spirit, the teeth of the vermin, the needle fingers of the Tankledors, and the brightness of the Star-men to bring you down. You will all break, and our mission will be accomplished. This, we swear, I promise. ─────── °✾° ─────── ON ANOTHER NOTE. . . I accept the Dark Kingdom’s call. A meeting shall be held soon. ─────── °✾° ─────── PENNED BY, MISCHA FLORENTINA LESANOV-FALCONE SIGNED, Her Magical Majesty, MISCHA FLORENTINA LESANOV-FALCONE, Valtakoenas of The Realm of Faedom, Speaker of the Spirits, Protectorate of the Spirits, Forest Guardian, Flower Beholder, Best Beetle Chef, Watcher of the Lake Her Serene High-upness, ELIZAVETA ULYANA BARBANOV-BIHAR, Elder Senator, Hauchprinzenas of the Principality of Polder Passes, Grand Speaker, Archiver of the History of Faedom, Ex-Cyclops of Alban, The Not So Ugly or Pretty, Average Beauty, Protectorate of the Uncanny Her Serene High-upness, MANON YVAINE ASHFORN DE FALSTAF, Princess of the Starmen, Magical Treasures-Keeper, Empress-regent of the Doll People, Bestest Dressed in Vienne, Grand Auri of the gardens, the Enchanted Court Artist Her Most Mightiest, ELISA ANASTASYA BARUCH, First Knight of the Faedom Militia, Grand Magic Marshall, The Best Spear-er in ALL THE LANDS Her Prettiest Pink, EMMA HENRIETTA LUDOVAR, Holy Envoy, Pristine Peacemaker, and Faery Princess of Unicorns His Holiest Ever, VLADRIK IOV ROBAIRE KORTREVICH II, Highest Pontiff above all, High Lord Paladine, Duke of Vermia, The Oracle, The Red Prince of Slugs

[Unknown Artist] This is NOT PUBLIC knowledge. Please refrain from metagaming. It was a hot summer’s eve. Two found themselves alone, together, following a party. They enjoyed the sun’s heat as it began to set, seated within the beautiful gardens of Haense. One’s hands rested within the other. ✙ “What is your profession, if you do nie mind me asking?” The younger, Magda Wieszcz, asked of her counterpart. Her nimble fingers drifted upon the lines that detailed Agnieszka’s palm. “Many things. . .” The elder, Agnieszka Petrova, returned. “Yam a seamstress, a servant. Ea was a governess for a few years.” Magda found such amusing, thus, she chuckled. The Crow continued examining the woman’s palm, inspecting every scar and crease. “I supposed by your thick skin. . . You have large plans, da?” She always did find herself mimicking the Haeseni accent, perhaps in an attempt to better fit in with her new-found companions. Agnieszka’s hands anxiously trembled within Magda’s grasp. Even then, she shied a chuckle of her own. “Ea do. Ea will be great, one day. Ea will do great things.” The Crow loosened her hold upon the Petrova’s hands, now gently cupping them within her own. “Success. . . It almost seems like an easy climb. However, you will go through much to get to the mountain's summit.” “Indeed?” One of Agnieszka’s thick brows rose- her interest was piqued. “Yam nie stranger to hard work. How will ea find this. . . route by which to climb to greatness?” “BETRAYAL. . .” Magda returned with confidence. If only the young pair knew. ─────── °𓁺° ─────── Time passed. The two found themselves nearly glued at the hip. Magda took Agnieszka in, finding great comfort in her presence. Magda felt as if she could save Agnieszka. Magda was naive, as would any young girl be. She trusted Agnieszka with her entire being. ─────── °𓁺° ─────── “Food.” Magda, ever changing, neared the withered Agnieszka. The Petrova found solace with the Crow’s family, for she even found lodging within her family’s library. Within the Crow’s grasp: a pie. Time had changed both of the women. From amicable companions, to companions closer than they should have been, to strangers. It tore away at Magda’s weakening humanity. She was never one to hold a grudge, though. Agnieszka ignored Magda for some time, polarized with fear as she held her two new-born babes close. Eventually, Agnieszka found herself upon leveled ground, speaking with Magda. Their tones were cold and apprehensive. Who could blame them? Nonetheless, their conversation ended with one ridden in filth, decomposing, and her children resting within flames. ✙ Magda felt bad, of course. She felt, still. Even then, it was what had to happen, for betrayal has its cost.

[!] This missive would find itself slipped beneath Beatrice’s door. ─────── °✾° ─────── HELLO HOONSERS! I AM Mischa-Moo Florentina Lesanov, Valtakoenas of The Realm of Faedom, Speaker of the Spirits, Protectorate of the Spirits, Forest Guardian, Flower Beholder, Best Beetle Chef, Watcher of the Lake. I formally summon Queen Beatrice and King Aurik to come to my fortress for a very important TALK. This sunrise, as soon as this missive arrives, you gotta come! Or the noomies will attack. Thankfully for YOU, Milly-Tilly made a map to the fortress. It’s really big and decorated with leaves and banners. @petaltothemetal ─────── °✾° ─────── Have a very dobry day. SIGNED, Her Magical Majesty, MISCHA FLORENTINA LESANOV-FALCONE, Valtakoenas of The Realm of Faedom, Speaker of the Spirits, Protectorate of the Spirits, Forest Guardian, Flower Beholder, Best Beetle Chef, Watcher of the Lake

[!] All throughout Haense and Oren, one might find this very missive. Perhaps one might see it pinned upon city walls, passed out throughout busy crowds, slipped beneath doors, or weaselled between gates! Either way, the nicely decorated page is sure to catch a keen, wandering eye. [Mischa, Elizaveta, & Manon, Manon Yvaine Ashford de Falstaf; c. 432 E.S.] ─────── °✾° ─────── HELLO! All who are reading, STOP, and look it. This is so important and an entire REALM depends on us. If you did not know, which you should know, but is it okay, the the Nikirala Fae Mission and the Valtakoengzem of Faedom has returned. You might not think it impacts you, but it DOES. I AM Mischa-Moo Florentina Lesanov, speaker of the spirits. Recently in the happenings, the FAE-KIND and the SPIRITS have been under attack. A bunch of armoured men tried to kill the forest spirit and my cugina! If it was not for ME, they would all be squash! I do not want people to die or the spirits to die, so I am writing this. DO NOT HURT THE SPIRITS! And do not call my family crazy or cursed! Thats not nice, and you almost got killed so who is the real cursed one here…… NEXTLY, The phoney Kingdom of Hoonse, bringers of ordinary-ness and LETHAL levels of boredom are to be stopped, and ended. So, to the rulers of Hoonse, I call on you to meet with me and my senators and me. If you do not make me a letter in the next TWO days, it will be war. If you peoples work with us, we will have a meeting and speak with you @Lomiei ─────── °✾° ─────── The Details: Since I am Miss Princess Elizaveta’s ward, she has bestowethed upon me her role, to continue to protect and preserve the fae-kind. Since I am her ward, she has been teaching me so so much, I can feel my head grow a lot. She has been very nice to me and even helped me write this and also help me spell the long words. Each of the new senators have a title and job, and a new palace has been established: THE GRAND FORTRESS OF FLORENTINA. We will all work to protect the spirits, the noomies, These titles will go as follows: MISCHA FLORENTINA LESANOV-FALCONE OF FLORENTINE will be crowned Her Magical Majesty, Valtakoenas of the Entire Faedom and the Holy Grand Magical Lady of Karosgrad III, Speaker for the Spirits, Protector of the Spirits. @Melpomenne My duties as the High Magical Majesty, thank you Miss Princess Elizaveta, are to protect ALL spirits, fae-kind, all uncanny creatures, and everything in between. No one will stand between my people and me! I will save them all and fight everyone and everything who tries to hurt the spirits, fae-king, uncanny creatures, or anything in between! I have been learning so much and am ready to put it all to use. ELIZAVETA ULYANA BARBANOV-BIHAR OF ALBAN will maintain her position of Her Serene High-upness, Elder Senator Grand Speaker and Hauchprinzenas of the Principality of Polder Passes. @Moenah Even though Miss Princess Elizaveta is a momma and busy a lot when shes not teaching me, she is still very very important to our cause! She is almost as smart as my momma. She started this, and will be here until the end! Without Miss Princess Elizaveta, the Faedom and the Faedom’s denizens would be squash. MANON YVAINE ASHFORD DE FALSTAF will be named Her Gracefulness, Princess of the Starmen, Magical Treasures-Keeper, Empress-regent of the Doll People, Bestest Dressed in Vienne, Grand Auri of the gardens, the Enchanted Court Artist. @wowsirss Manon, or Manona, I am not sure, is always super nice and always listens to me when I tell her about the spirits, that is how I know she is a perfect fit for a senator. She is brave and is the protector of the Starmen. She even found this really big cave that a giant lives in once, it was so cool. ELISA ANASTASYA BARUCH will be sworn in and bestowed the position of Her High-upness, First Knight of the Faedom Militia, Grand Magic Marshall, The Best Spear-er in ALL THE LANDS. @Ivypurple Elisa is so super strong, she stabbed my wall with her spear and pulled it out like a knife in jam. That is how I know that Elisa will do the bestest job in protecting the Faedom. She also speaks a little funny, like a strong northerner, so that is also how I know she is going to do a great job. EMMA HENRIETTA LUDOVAR has earned the position of Her Prettiest Pink, Holy Envoy, Pristine Peacemaker, and Faery Princess of Unicorns. @DearConnorMurphy Emma is the quietest, but also the smartest, in the entire Enchanted Council. She can be the peacemaker while we make agreements with her peace and quietness. She is very trust worthy, so she is perfect for the role of Pristine Peacemaker and holy Envoy. VLADRIK IOV ROBAIRE KORTREVICH II has been graced with the title His Holiest Ever, Highest Pontiff above all, High Lord Paladine, Duke of Vermia, The Oracle, The Red Prince of Slugs. @Cally Not only is Vladrik magical in every single way, but he has so many animals in his home. He even lives in the Duchy of Vermia. That is how I knew that he would be perfect to help protect the uncanny creatures and fae-kind. He is the bestest for the job, no one else would be as good as him. Also, I heard him speak about Godani so he is the Pontiff. ─────── °✾° ─────── Even though we have a lot of good and trustworthy and smart Faery Senators on the Enchanted Council, we have some spots open. These spots are important to fill! Especially for the betterment of the faekind and the spirits. It is also important that we have HOSPITAL-PEOPLE and WIZARDS because in case any of the inhabitants get sick or hurt, they need someone to make them better. After the tragic Vermin Genocide of years ago, this role is especially important. Hospital-People and Wizards are great healers, we need great healers for wars, everyday life, and always. If you are a Hospital-Person or a Wizard, please send me a letter! ─────── °✾° ─────── By the time you have finished reading this paper every Faery Senator on the Enchanted Council will have gotten to work on finishing our goal. If YOU want to help please help by finding us fairies, noomies, uncanny-creatures, or any vermin you can find. Have a very dobry day.

Everyone who entered showed an exemplary amount of creativity and dedication. First Place: @28idle’s depiction of a large skeleton in the desert This piece felt very unique compared to the others. The sense of solitary, while still providing a sense of adventure, stuck out to us. The composition is wonderful. I would like to share some of the notes our members had for your piece. “ I feel like this is a really nice example of two different vibes from the map. The juxtaposing themes of death but also life just really stand out well which I love. ” “ I love how the piece is centred on the skeleton. Also, the art style is very unique and appealing to the eye. ” “ Shivering my timbers. ” Second Place: @TreeSmoothie’s Azdromoth Sculpture The dedication, creativity, and execution stood out to all of us. The sculpture came out amazingly. It was so very impressive for all of us. Very good job.

I like this one a lot. “ “ WOW. It's made IN REAL LIFE and it looks like it took a LOT of time to make, so props for dedication.

Every month, the CT will release an event roster. Here, all events that are to take place will be listed there. If you have any event ideas and wish to see it executed, feel free to contact Melpomenne! [The Cha Room, Jae-Cheol] [!] A depiction of Arch Monk Hugo’s grand office. The Story Tucked away within the Cloud Temple, the Monks have been hard at work, especially with the summer-time enflux of new travellers! As a way to take a break from the work’s stress, the monks of the Cloud Temple have decided to go on a vacation retreat to the most hidden oasis of Almaris. Since the monks were all gone, they worried about who would be home to watch over the Cloud Temple! Luckily, one had the bright idea of allowing the denizens of Almaris to watch over their humble abode. Obviously, they undermined the situation, for Monk Korra took it to herself to lead the newfound guardians of the Cloud Temple! In between massive party-paloozas, she thought an old trusty game of Hide and Seek would keep everyone from dying of boredom. With this, she sent all of the Cloud Temple couriers out with invitations! Will you and your friends join Monk Korra and play Hide and Seek? How to enter? To enter, simply make a /creq using the following format: /creq My group would like to take part in the Hide and Seek event! (List of group member’s IGNs) How will it work? Each group must amount to at least 5 players. Once everyone has been warped to the Temple, each player will be assigned a number. Then, one of the numbers will be randomly selected, and the person assigned that number will be named the Seeker, and the rest will be Hiders. The Hiders and Seeker will status up accordingly. The player assigned the role of Seeker will be given a single stick, the blindness effect, and be asked to show proof that they have turned off player name tags. For a single minute, the Hiders will be given the opportunity to run around the build and hide. Once everyone is ready, a countdown will be set off- then, a ten minute timer. Once the countdown has concluded and the timer has begun, the Seeker will be sent off to search for the Hiders. If the Seeker finds everyone within those ten minutes, the Seeker wins. If anyone is left standing once the timer has concluded, they will win. Those who win their round of Hide and Seek will be given a special golden ticket. Prizes First Place: Unique CT Signed Item A special golden ticket Rules Assure you have at least 5 members in your group. Seekers must have name tags off. If they break this rule, they will be barred from participating in this event entirely. More Information This event will begin on July 1ST and conclude on July 15TH.

[Elvenar Carnival, Chris Karbach] The Story All throughout Almaris, whether you mingle with the valorous DRUIDS of the east and south, or travel with the WANDERERS of the north and west, many celebrate the coming of the Summer Solstice. For many, this change in seasons symbolises OPTIMISM, HOPE, and most importantly, ADVENTURE. With this, the monks of the Cloud Temple have some together once more to curate a set of activities for all of Almaris’ denizens to take part in. Join us for our Cloud Temple Summer Spectacular! We promise, you will not regret it. [Tavern bard, Rob Rey] How will it work? After making the /creq, the group will be warped to Mister Pachapooza’s shoppe. There, the group will be seated at a table, greeted by a set of monks. Following some roleplay, the group of players will, together, partake in three rounds. Before each round, they will all agree upon a drink. Each drink will come along with its own system of rolling. Each round, whoever rolls the best, according to the drink’s system, wins!

[Patience, Candice Broersma] The Story The outlying islands surrounding Almaris often function as paradise for the Cloud Temple monks. One island in particular always stood out from another. For this one did not house vast beaches or beautiful resorts, but a strenuous course fit for the finest people around! The monks formally invite the most athletic of almaris to take part and race throughout this course against their friends, or foes. Keep your eyes peeled for a preview of the course! How to enter? To enter, simply make a /creq using the following format: /creq We would like to partake in the Parkour! (The IGNs of the group members) How will it work?

[Cherries in Bucket, Levi Wells Prentice] The Story With summer comes a surplus of things: heat, sweat, over-exposure to the sun… and cherries! With the Cloud Temple’s excess supply, the monks have decided to make a new challenge: Cherry Core Spitting! An array of buckets will be set up before Mister Pachapooza’s shoppe! All of Almaris is invited to compete and see who aims the best! How to enter?
