To Kill a Beast
[!] a drawing of the scene [!]
"Lo' my fellow Weefolk and friends, it has come to my attention that a beast lurks within our lands.
Jus a few days before, a body was found near the shore of our fields.
After much research I concluded that it was no mere animal, but a beast!
One that has been dubbed 'The Landshark Arkaknox'.
It is my duty as Sheriff to take on this beast, but alas, together we stand as we have always done so.
Any brave Weefolk or adventurer is welcomed to help in this endeavor.
Join me, as we set off to slay this spawn of Arugula, curse her name!"

~* A poem to Garedyn the Green *~
Once upon a time, when legends where born
Deep into the forests, a myth was forged
Anbella's chosen, Nature serene
A Dwarf, named Garedyn the GreenWarrior by code, and Leader by heart
Scholar in spirit, and in magical art
No fiend could best him, the Dwarf so fair
Axe in hand, his eyes would glareA Friend amongst Weefolk, King of Dwed
Scourge of fiends, his fate would end
He brought down the titan, the ground would quake
Alas, for emeralds never break9 -
" I' cannae be..." Breasal said as he sat down onto a chair, such terrible news were too much for him "Garedyn my friend, ya who were the most 'onorable o' the Dwed, ya 'ave fallen into the e'ernal slumba'..." he'd then fill a cup of the best mead he had in his burrow "Tae ya Garedyn The Green, Kin' o' Dwed, Slaya' o' Evil.... tae ya ol' pal" he said as he poured the cup of mead outside his burrow "A 'ope ya're wa'c'in' o'er yar kin, we'll mee' again one day, fer noo res' yar weary soul" with that said, Breasal returned to his burrow and quickly grabbed pen and paper.

'OLY SHI'E DEEEEAAAR!!!! GE' THE CAMERA WE'RE IN KAKTUZ WEEKLI!!!" he said in excitement*

~* Halfling Spiritualism *~
[1]
Preface:
Halfling Spiritualism differs in that Halflings don’t worship spirits the same way they do with Knox or Billy Bob. Instead, Halfling spirits are considered living forces of certain characteristics and aspects. For example, merrymaking is a positive aspect of everyday life, as such the spirit of merrymaking isn’t a certain person but the force of merrymaking itself. As such, one doesn’t necessarily pray to the spirit of merrymaking, but invokes it with feasts and festivals. Using even more simple terms, one doesn’t need to pray to the spirit of foxes, just by having a symbol of a fox is enough to invoke and respect it.
History of Halfling Spiritualism:
It is uncertain when exactly did Spiritualism begin to be practiced by Halflings, or who introduced it, though through oral tradition it was around the time of Dunshire. Looking at just a few written records, we know the names of the spirits and how they were invoked, using everyday words in that time; in simple terms the names of these spirits are what they represent. Since then it has been an accepted faith within Halfling society, with some individuals building dedicated shrines to certain spirits. In more recent years, new spirits and notable individuals have appeared, becoming new additions to the list.
Traditions and Worship:
[2]
The way Halflings worship the spirits is the same as you would find in other Spiritualist societies, with shrines, offerings etc. The historical word for Spiritualism is ‘Gāstsiden’ and ‘gāstberend’ for shaman. When praying to a spirit it is imperative that devotees utter the word Lup, as it is the proper way to do so. Sermons and religious festivals are also held in order to appease them. The act of the will of the spirits is slightly different, instead of actively doing tasks i.e. going on a hunt in order to appease to the spirit of it, Halflings simply try to uphold what the spirits represent. Sacrifices vary from individual followers, most Halflings tend to use food, booze and pipeweed as offerings, with some offering mina as a way to get rid of them. One tradition that some Halflings do, in order to appease to specific spirits, is to decorate their homes or certain items with motifs of that spirit.
Major Halfling deities:
These are the gods Halflings may worship daily
Billy Bob, The Great Farmer
(note: this is how Halflings view Billy Bob)
He is considered the creator of the world and of every descedant race [3.1]
Lord Knox, The Pumpkin Lord
Created by Billy Bob, he is the guardian of the Halfling race [3.2]
Arugula, The Squid Monster
Created by Billy Bob, she is the destroyer of the Halfling race [4]

Fyxen the Fox
The fox spirit is said to bless Halflings with cleverness and stealth
Hara the Rabbit
The rabbit spirit is said to bless Halflings with fertility and agility
Frosc the Frog
The frog spirit is patron and guardian of Frogtoppia, he blesses Halflings with wisdom and good health
Apa the Ape
The ape spirit is said to bless Halflings with dexterity and athleticism

Le_Psit 's 1st Spirit Pact: Laklul Lesser of Freygoth
A damp endless swamp filled with a light mist is what I've awaken into.
The spirit walk was successful and my teacher has brought me to the spirit world.
Years ago I had visited this place as a faithful believer, now I walk upon a more spiritual path.
As we waited for someone to appear, a loud croak was heard from the treetops, 'twas a Toalak!
The beast spoke in the tongue of the spirits, it wanted to carry me so that I may meet its master.
As I carefully mounted the beast's back, my teacher said: "Go forth, and I'll be with you in a moment".
I nodded at my teacher's words and so the beast began leaping away into the swamp.
After a short while we arrived at the base of an enormous pyramid.
As I mounted off the beast's back, I thanked it in the tongue of the spirits and made my way atop the pyramid.
There they sat, even more toalaks by the sides and in the center it was him; Laklul.
"Come forth Breasal Nimblefoot!"
Laklul spoke before me, as I made my way to present myself, I kneeled before him.
"Your faithful believer has arrived Great Laklul" I said with respect.
"I am aware, thus I sent one of my own to bring you to me. Speak, why have you come to me?"He asked with a loud deep voice.
"Years ago you gave me a task, to expand your realm and your kin's population, I have done both"
"Now I seek to make a deal with you, if you think I am worthy enough"
I said to him with feelings of fear, respect and honor in my heart.
Laklul laughed with joy, I could tell by the sound.
"Then a pact you seek before me? Indeed you are worthy and so it shall be"
He said as he extended his finger.
"Rise and shake my finger to seal the pact"
And so I did, and with that it was all done, as the mist became thicker my teacher and I awakened.
LUP'LAKLUL!
