Calan Stahl-Elendil received the news with shock. He'd been a hermit for years now and he expected the world to be exactly the same when he finally emerges as when he left it. Upon hearing of the death of his friend, he knew that wasn't the case.
Having received Casper's final letter to him, Calan clutches it firmly in his grasp and his vision blurs with tears.
"I'm sorry I was not there for you Casper, at the end..."

Amid the hustle and bustle of Tuvmas Day, those with time to look at posts and noticeboards see a small red flier with a poem written on it. The flier reads:
A Visit from St. Tobias by Calan Stahl-Elendil
A poem dedicated to the Imperial Palace of Augustine, and to my newly retired father Jonah Stahl-Elendil.
‘Twas the night before Tuvmas, when all through Augustine
The servants, staff, and residents went through their routine
Servants sang songs whilst wreaths they hung
They roasted chestnuts that were hot on the tongue
Of the palace children, their eyes aglow
From how Tuvmas lights shone on snow
Good gifts and treats they did aspire
For this they wore their best attire
And acted on their best behavior
Hoping their parents would come be their saviors
But the soft sound of the winter night
Ended with a crash that put the kids affright
Servants searched all corridors
For any trouble, they even searched on all fours
But nothing was found out of place or habit
Besides a child’s favorite plush rabbit
Then a noble opened the dining room doorsOut from that room came light in scores
For St. Tobias crashed his sled
With a boom, a strike that gave all dread
But once the children saw
They rushed in with awe
For the tables were covered in goose, turkey drizzled with gravy
And potatoes, carrots, and peas with butter sauce wavy
But the true sight worth note
Was St. Tobias, whose belly did bloat
Under his brown robes, he was very austere
He smiled and winked to onlookers before snapping at his deer
Whoosh went his red carriage
To give to good Canonists homes bound by marriageBut all through the Palace
Residents raised their chalice
To great St. Tobias, a giving monk so pious
That he gives to all without bias
So remember your family, no matter they bicker or boast
And remember the servants, give them a toast
And all good Canonists deserves a cheer
On this, a most wonderful new saints year11 -
Calan gives his father a pat on the back when he sees him. "You've done an excellent job dad, let no one doubt that. You've made me and our family extremely proud." he smiles. "Enjoy your retirement!"

Calan Stahl-Elendil spots a poster while walking around Providence smoking a pipe. "Ah lovely, I've been meaning to speak to James. I haven't talked to him in years..." he mutters to no one in particular. "Maybe Casper will want to go with me."

The Couple of Corncob
A ‘Short’ Comedy in Three Acts
Inspired by the noble Halfling people and their culture.
The debut play written by Calan Stahl-Elendil!
All locations and people are fiction. Any similarity between characters and the people of Arcas is a coincidence.
This play is dedicated to Yuliya Styrne and my father, Jonah Stahl-Elendil.
Cast
Dobrizhitsky Novikov - An older, stoic Raevir gentleman and commander of his village’s guard. Married to Magnolia Waters. He has dark graying hair, a thick mustache and wears armor or traditional Hanseti attire.
Magnolia Waters - A young woman with green eyes and brown hair. She has a loose spirit but she is anxious to please her husband, Dobrizhitsky.
Old Man Cob - A crusty old Hobbit who is the village’s sheriff and the adoptive father of Magnolia. He is a wise Hobbit with long white sideburns and a green hat with a feather on it. He holds a wooden quarterstaff and speaks in a rural accent.
ACT ONE
SCENE ONE
SpoilerCURTAIN RISES on a sunny, idyllic village with rolling hills, burrows, fields and an outdoor table filled with meat and treats.
A middle aged man, DOBRIZHITSKY, walks into the scene with his wife, MAGNOLIA. DOBRIZHITSKY stops, clearly exhausted.
MAGNOLIA
My wonderful husband! We finally arrive,
At the scene of my rearing.
The town where I did thrive!
Its grassy hills finally appearing.DOBRIZHITSKY
Can we please take a break!
Or two, or three, or twelve?
My throat burns
Like a shot of cheap vodka!MAGNOLIA
Of course my dearest
We shall rest
At the house bearing our family crest
The one which is nearestDOBRIZHITSKY
Let me sit one moment!
Give a hussar most venerable
Upon this table rest preferable
Than walking any longer!MAGNOLIA
If we must sweetyDobrizhitsky CRAWLS towards an empty chair only to be TRIPPED by a cheeky Halfling running by. Halfling RUNS off stage laughing.
DOBRIZHITSKY
You puny curs!
This old Raevir mongrel
Will bite worse than his bark!MAGNOLIA
Be calm my benevolent husband.
Truly these children
Only wished some entertainmentDOBRIZHITSKY
Pah! They can find entertainment in the seven skies!Dobrizhitsky SPITS out mud, his face and clothes covered.
DOBRIZHITSKY
This mud does taste
Of pastures in home country!
Could we be graced
With the lands I hold dear?MAGNOLIA
Not entirely, my love
These lands carry a shorter folk
Their arms less muscular
They have few scars
And live without war
The acts of the world: politics, war, greed
Have little reaction, little power hereDOBRIZHITSKY
Enough navel gazing!
Let us meet
The parents who taught my wife
Such fantasiesSCENE TWO
SpoilerDOBRIZHITSKY and MAGNOLIA enter OLD MAN COB’S residence, a low hobbit hole with a blazing fire, a table, and other decorations. OLD MAN COB enters the scene.
Dobrizhitsky SQUINTS, keeping his eyes up as he looks around the house for the parents.
DOBRIZHITSKY
Where is parents?
I may be climbing in years
But I can still see!MAGNOLIA
Look down honeyDobrizhitsky looks down, he VEERS back in shock at the parent’s size.
DOBRIZHITSKY
WHAT IS MEANING OF THIS?!
DO YOU THINK ME A FOOL?MAGNOLIA
Husband please allow me to explain!Magnolia PAUSES (beat).
DOBRIZHITSKY
EXPLAIN NOW!MAGNOLIA
When I was but a child
Soldiers destroyed my home village
I fled into the grasslands
Cold, sick, alone, starving
Then I found this town
Corncob is its name
With golden wheat for miles
These Halflings grew me as their own seedling
For where they lack in stature or strength
They make up through the size of their hearts a thousandfoldDOBRIZHITSKY
If I knew family in laws were shrimps
I would never have cast my net out for you Magnolia!
Not only that, you not tell me
Before we travel four weeks here!OLD MAN COB
For one so large in size
Your heart could use some growth, Mr. Dobrizhitsky!
And your mind too
We ain’t six feet tall
But size ain’t everythin’
Let’s eat, drink, smoke and get to know each other
Then decide your feelin’s.DOBRIZHITSKY
This is outrageous!
I’m leaving
If you wish to find me go ahead, try!
Dobrizhitsky STOMPS out of the room, his chainmail clinking as he walksACT TWO
SCENE ONE
SpoilerCURTAIN RISES on Corncob docks, a cute area with small docks, stalls, and perhaps a few fishing boats. OR a return to the backdrop of act one scene one.
DOBRIZHITSKY
What am I do now?
My wife was raised not by wolves
But pups!
How can wife pull the heavy plow?
And sow the seeds of hard work
Having been raised amongst these loafers
Who enjoy too much
They raise their cups
Instead of working, bleeding, sweating!Sheriff OLD MAN COB enters the scene, holding his staff. He READIES for COMBAT with Dobrizhitsky.
OLD MAN COB
Halt, ginormous biggun!
First you walk out on my daughter and now you insult Halfling traditions!
Take off those shoes
Or you’ll be in for a lickun!DOBRIZHITSKY
My shoes?
My wife spits on honor!
She brought me terrible news!
And now you lot want deface my feet?
Can’t you leave alone man so clearly beat!
What is wrong with my shoes?OLD MAN COB
You break Halfling tradition!
You, biggun, may call me sheriff or reeve
My job is to see you not cleave
The fair sardine sized people of this lowland
With your big attitude, and your swordhand!It is thanks to great Lord Knox
That we find our wheat plentiful
And our people without pox
So respect his blessins!
And our traditions great!DOBRIZHITSKY
I would not do anything so stupid!
As to walk around with bare feet
You want shoes
But you ignore my other cues
For I have chainmail and sword polished
Come at me if you want boots
And prepare to be abolished!Old Man Cob LIFTS his quarterstaff up quickly, gives a yell and slowly brings down his staff. By the time it’s down to Dobrizhitsky’s chest Cob only has enough energy to poke him.
OLD MAN COB
Have you given up yet?!
Vile criminal!DOBRIZHITSKY
Ha! I’ve had better blows from my babushka!
Much better ones in fact
Give up this game reeve
Lest you wish family grieve
Your departureOld Man Cob DROPS his quarterstaff.
OLD MAN COB
Halfling moxy
Cannot beat human steel
I give in
Just let me see my wife and chilluns!DOBRIZHITSKY
How I tire of this insolent land!
Oh I will slay not you, old man
I am not truly villain
But to the victor goes spoils
And this land is weak, without defenders
With only you to protect it!
I proclaim you hostage!
Come with now!
Corncob will be mine!Dobrizhitsky FORCES Old Man Cob off stage at sword-point.
ACT THREE
SCENE ONE
SpoilerCURTAIN RISES on Corncob once again. DOBRIZHITSKY climbs a hill with OLD MAN COB.
DOBRIZHITSKY
People of Corncob!
I have with me the Lord Protector of the shrimps!
Hand over all harvest!
Truly I am doing you favor
for you could lose a few pounds!MAGNOLIA enters the scene.
MAGNOLIA
My dear husband!
How could you do this?
We haven’t even gotten a chance to try the food here yet!
This peaceful land has turned you cruel!DOBRIZHITSKY
Be silent!
I was always cruel, you just not realize it!
Whilst I love you with all my heart,
These Halflings need to learn the lessons of suffering and hardship!OLD MAN COB
The only lesson we need to learn is how to get rid of you!
Got any ideas, darlin’?MAGNOLIA
Oh I have one!
Let us settle this in the traditional Hobbit way!
We shogg at dawn!DOBRIZHITSKY
Shogg! What in Godan’s name is that?
Whatever is, I shall win at it!
I accept challenge!
Who among you shall face me?OLD MAN COB
I will you rascal!
Unhand me so I can face you in honorable small-folk combat!SCENE TWO
SpoilerCURTAIN RISES on Corncob docks. This time two logs sit parallel to each other on stage. DOBRIZHITSKY and OLD MAN COB stand on one each. Both have wooden shovels in their hands and are wearing pumpkins.
DOBRIZHITSKY
Explain game to me old man!
Hopefully you swing a shovel faster than a quarterstaff!OLD MAN COB
The aim of this game
Is not to maim
So remember that, you towering oaf!
We use our shovels
To whack the other silly
Until one swivels
And plops into the water!
Prepare for a shogging slaughter!DOBRIZHITSKY
Pfft, I have bested many knights in my day
I win your silly game!Dobrizhitsky swings first and Old man Cob deftly JUMPS out of the way. He MOVES as if decades younger now. The two trade BLOWS.
OLD MAN COB
I may be an old man of this cob,
But I never sob in the face of danger!
Knox, you took my chickins one year!
Bless me shovel on this lovely pier!
And bring me victoreee!Old Man Cob STRIKES down Dobrizhitsky! Cob PULLS him up onto his own log.
DOBRIZHITSKY
To have fallen, not once but twice today!
What sort of warrior I?OLD MAN COB
That’s because you’re not a warrior
You’re a Halfling!
I feel it in my heart!
Come, my huge rival
I’ll whip you up somethin’ tasty!
No chicken though,
Knox be angry with meMAGNOLIA RUNS up to the shore near the two.
MAGNOLIA
Oh husband!
Please end this madness
If not for my father’s sake then for mine!
For I love you with all my heart!
Even considering your flawsDOBRIZHITSKY
Fine. If that what you wish
I will bear your father
For while he not tall
He is truly warriorSCENE THREE
SpoilerCURTAIN RISES once again on the Cob household. All the cast sit around drinking and eating.
DOBRIZHITSKY
My wife, please forgive me for my incredibly hard head
You’ve always been my bright sunflower
In sea of dark pine
I apologize deeply for what I said to youMAGNOLIA
Oh Dobrizhitsky!
You have a hard head
But you have a strong heart
Of course I forgive youDobrizhitsky and Magnolia embrace and kiss. Old Man Cob awws in the background.
DOBRIZHITSKY
And Old Man Cob, I thank you
For sparing further humiliation
At defeat
Tell me, what does it mean to be a Halfling?
As say I am at heart?OLD MAN COB
Why, it is to feel the breeze on your skin and the grass beneath your feet
Or notice the bright red of a summer rose
You humans, with your schemes, wars, and tricks.
Perhaps you need to come towards the ground, like we hobbits have.
And leave your ambitions alone for a spell.DOBRIZHITSKY
Perhaps you’re right
My head was high in clouds
Dreaming of riches and conquest
I was not born close to ground
As you hobbits were
I forgot what I have in front of me
My beautiful wife, my kind parent-in-laws
And quaint village
That reminds me so much of home
While current situation not ideal,
I will bear all for my dear wifeDobrizhitsky pulls out a bottle of vodka.
DOBRIZHITSKY
Let me show you a delicacy from my homeland!
If I cannot beat you lot at shogging
Perhaps I can beat you at drinking!
But first a toast to my sweet wife!
And to Halflings!
Zdrastvui!All characters raise a glass and cheer, on that the curtains fall.

Spoiler
On a humid cavern day Dimlin Irongut would spot a letter perched on the floor near his doorstep. The letter would read:
For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under Khaz’A’Dentrumm.
A time for Anbella and a time for Dungrimm.
A time to dig and a time to collect.
A time to kill and a time to heal.
A time to smith and a time to brew.
A time to cry and a time to laugh.
A time to grieve and a time to drink.Dimlin, by the time you are reading this I, Hogarth Irongut, will be on the cold mountains of Urguan. Do not search for me if you expect a Dwed still breathing. By the time you read this I will be gone from this world. Know that whatever possessions I have left, which are not many, I leave to you. I trust you with my legacy, whatever that may be.
I went into the mountains to find peace with our Gods. My time has been spent reading the holy texts, meditating, and chanting. I hope that the Brathmordakin deem me worthy of a high price at the auction. Perhaps I could even gain a seat at the feasting table in Khaz’A’Dentrumm, if I spend my last moments in honor of the Brathmordakin.
I have been around since Aegis, where I was a young naive soldier of the Ascended. My father, a pious man much like how I turned out, named me after a Dwed holy man. From there my life accelerated quickly. I joined the guard. I adopted my first child. I witnessed the destruction of the Irongut manor and the burning of our ancestors so that they may reside in the Irongut Urn. It was not until later in my life that I joined the clergy. Before that I was a Legionnaire, a diplomat, and a politician. At first I wanted to escape becoming like my father, but in Urguan blood runs thicker than water.
It feels odd still living in the mortal world. I have lived alongside countless Kings and have moved to countless realms. I don’t even remember the name of this current one. I think back on all of the Dwed friends in my life during reflection. It’s a futile task to name them all, but I want all of them to know I count them as brothers. Urguan is my family just as much as the Ironguts are. I love all of them dearly and will miss their company. At least I may reunite with old friends after my death.
For Norli, I wish you luck in returning the Clergy to traditional Dwed ways. I’ve enjoyed our conversations these past stone days. I only wish that we would have more time to speak, but I feel that I must do this. I’m sure you understand.
To the Ironguts, I cannot have asked for a better family. I’ll miss all of you dearly. Keep the memory of our past alive and teach it to new Irongut generations. I will especially miss my good friend and kin Balek, Dwalin, Dwain as well as you Dimlin.
I would also like you to send word to my spouse, Solaris, if you can ever find him. Let him know that regardless of the time we have spent apart, I always have and always will love him. Solaris made me the happiest I had ever been in my life. He made me happy to live a simple life and cook meals for the both of us. I hope that you one day return to civilization and continue living a good life. Do not let my death ever paralyze you.
Finally, I want those who read this to think of the future. We Dwarves rightfully take pride in our history, but the future is bright. The future depends on the hard work and generosity of both the old and the young. Urguan is the cliff that stands withers constant beatings from the shores. Urguan even fell once but nonetheless has risen once again. It is a symbol of Dwarven unity and strength in the face of invaders. Let us build up that cliff to withstand any hardship. Let us Dwed work in unity and peace for a bright future. Urguan is a large part of my legacy. I shed blood time and time again for our Grand Kingdom. I have no doubt that the newer generations will make those same sacrifices again.
Love to all my family and to Urguan,
Hogarth Irongut

“Ironguts of all ages! The time has come once again for our clan to meet and discuss our difficulties. As we are the founding family of our great Republic, it pains me to see that only a few Ironguts remain to be seen in the city. Our tradition and history is a great one, but as our clan has done for many centuries we must look to the future. We must bring in new members to keep the torch of our kin alive. This will not only require the work and diligence of one poor sap, but all of us must contribute in some way! The meeting will discuss topics such as the role of Clan Father, ways to attract new recruits, magic training, and any other topics that clan members wish to bring to the table. The meeting is scheduled in a few stone days, but if you cannot make it please talk to me or Dimlin.”
((The meeting will be next Friday 7/27/18 3 pm EST. Please be there Ironguts.))
