[!] Numerous copies of this newsletter were thrown about Karosgrad – from the inside of the Prikaz, all the way to the docks outside the gates. Much like the last missive, they all had the very same crest on the front, along with a plethora of art provided by the writer themselves. And contrary to her previous works, it seemed that the author’s incorrect grammar, and often lack of punctuation, was improving. ─────── °✾° ─────── HARK! Good tidings to everyone who decides to pick up this paper, one that I worked so very hard on. As anyone in or out of Karosgrad can see, the Valtakoengzem has grown in great strength, numbers, and popularity. We have taken over and we are going nowhere. But not everyone can always be here for the adventures we take. Therefore, as Grand Speaker, I’ve taken it upon myself to document and immortalize the works of the Faedom in writing. I am not a good writer as my brother, Matyas, but I will tell to you the events of the past years the best way I can every year from now on. I even have acquired a favorable and nice looking paper to do my pictures on. The frame is very nice and the Enchanted Council has praised my work since. Without further ado, let’s get to it! This is the FAEDOM FOLLOWINGS! ─────── °✾° ─────── THE BLOODY PRIKAZ! : The Genocide of the citizens of Ratatoostadt Naysayers and hating-folk are always common with any great, upcoming Kongzem and they really showed themselves to us recently. While establishing the County of Ratatoostadt everything was fine and peaceful, its inhabitants were homed in the best possible place for them, never ever disrespecting the dead that lived with them. In fact, they were regularly bathed, cleansed, and held monthly tavern nights with the spirits of the knights. However, one day, as Her Magical Majesty and the Grand Speaker were preparing to depart on a fairy expetition, we discovered that every inhabitant, every rat of Ratatoostadt had been slain- brutally murdered in a mass genocide unlike anything ever seen. This, of course, brought great sorrow to the Prinzenas of Rats, and Komitas of Ratatoostadt, Magda, who wept bitterly before our trip. Taking the time to mourn, we set a survivor, who unfortunately passed soon after, down before the likeness of the Exalted Sigismund. While praying for him, we were mocked by a few people, especially a very old man whose name is unknown to me. He should count himself lucky I am not exposing him for the world to see. Even furthermore, when we returned from our trip, which also did not go well, we found that the survivor’s body, whom we laid to rest, was gone – with only a paw print in its place. What is worse, all the remaining corpses of the slayed rats have been growing strange, orange vines inside of them, and all remaining vermin of the Faedom have been evacuated to Jerovitz for their safety. For the human naysayers, I would blame the lack of education on the mindset and culture of the rats on this hate crime. But, ever since Her Magical Majesty, Madga, held an audience with His Actual Majesty, King Siggy, we have been informed of a greater threat: THE EVIL VALTAKOENGZEM OF THE REALM OF DARK FAEDOM. Since only the Koeng is aware of their existence, I am really thankful he brought it up to us. Since then, I have done my research. This imposter kingdom exists on a different plane of reality than us here, and every so often, they cross over, either getting people and animals to do their bidding for them, or doing it themselves. Cowards who hide behind heinous actions deserve no mercy, and if I find you to be a follower of this alternate, opposing kingdom, you will suffer the same fate they will when we battle. In better news, to fundraise for the rehabilitation of her county and the cure to the rat’s sickness, THE KOMITAS OF RATATOOSTADT, soon to be trained by the Prinzen Oracle himself, will be holding Soothsaying sessions; one minae per session. DANGER IN KAROSGRAD! : The Caped Krusader battles the Jester In the wake of all the bloodshed and panic, someone comes along to protect the people and save them from evil doers. And the other day, that someone finally leaped into action. It was a peaceful day in the square so it seemed. Then came a man with green plant hair and Orenian-looking clothes. But the most daunting thing about him was the huge smile on his white face. He came in laughing, ready to commit atrocities when all of a sudden – the CAPED KRUSADER swooped down from the skies! “Not so fast!” He commanded, the streets of Karosgrad watching him in awe. Even I was watching, because since I saw the Dark Knight watching me from above the days prior I have admired him greatly. But, the Jester (as he is known) took advantage of this, grabbing me ready to shoot at me! Golly, was I scared out of my mind. The Jester could not get away with this transgression, though, for the Caped Krusader came prepared. From his behind, he took out a flying weapon, a thin, two-sided blade in the shape of Koeng Sigismund’s own face! And he threw it at the Jester’s chest! He saved me, and he saved my life! Unfortunately, it would not end here, as suddenly, the Jester released a green gas (smelling quite unfavorable) on everyone around him in the square. Only for me to find out after he disappeared that it was a Potion of Smiles! For the whole day, I could not take the smile off my face, or else it would hurt! The Caped Krusader disappeared after that, no doubt to get away from the gas himself, because he could not stop it. But, rest assured, if the Jester, or any other evil-doer, is seen again, I will make sure to call the Caped Krusader back personally with an instrument I will not disclose – in case any of his rivals are reading this paper. And when that noise reaches the skies, it will not just be a signal. It will be a warning. Some members of the Enchanted Council and I have begun to speculate who the Caped Krusader is under that mask. One theory is that it is the Koeng, running the nation by day and saving everyone by night. Perhaps he is a new kind of uncanny-creature I have yet to add to the registry and compendium. Whoever he is, it is not about who he is underneath, but what he does that defines him. DANCING BRAWL! : The Baruch Punching Performance Our last main report gets super serious, so if these kinds of stories irk you, skip to the smaller news section. It all started when all my peers and I went to dance practice to prepare for the sets of parties that no one will stop talking about– Lifstala. When picking partners, I made perfectly sure that my brother picked me through the psychic connection we share. While I was a bit disappointed we were not taught the Hoppalooza, I did with him the love dance of the Waltz in my own way. Unfortunately, Matyas is not gifted with feet as fast as mine, and this resulted in him falling. That is when we were approached by the Old Naysayer Baruch, who made it seem like he was nice, trying to help Matyas up, but then striking him in the head with his own! It was at this moment that something sparked in me – like an untapped rage unlike anything the world has ever seen. I suddenly had the fury and drive of a fully grown Tankledor. Now, what came next, I will admit to. Yes, I did beat up the Naysayer Baruch, even though he is old and a contrarian, who contraires just to be contrary. But I will do the same thing again and again to anyone else who thinks that they can hit my brother or my friends. Unfortunately, I did not stay humble and was struck back. This caused a duel that put one of my fellow council members in danger of dying and I will only be sorry for that. ─────── °✾° ─────── OTHER NEWS! The Rise of Red Hair, and What This Means ; A STUDY Some time ago, I took a trip to the Ludovar house for Adele and Amicia’s parties, which they were both given coveted relics of the Faedom: Incense Summoners and the Deathwhistle. And while dancing with Matty B., I happened to notice something – there’s so much bright red heads around me! Since I have been gifted with a bright mind, this curiosity led me to writing this short study on the sudden rise of red hair and what this means for the future. I think when exploring this topic, we must mention who exactly has these fire locks to later connect the dots. The very first two that come to mind are Isabel, who is incredibly tall and smart and a good fighter, and my brother, Matyas, who is a great writer, an ace of all trades, and many of my girl peers have informed me that he is handsome. Furthermore, he gets that hair from my mamej, who was an insane super beauty, as I have seen it written. Now, stay in your seat, for this is where the dots connect. Lately, I met the Vyronov brothers – who I can not tell apart sometimes. But, the one always conversing with Isabel has pearly whites so shiny that it nearly blinded her. He also is a mean sword fighter, and won a battle in front of me. It was then that I started to see a pattern. All my peers with red hair happen to be gifted somehow, some way. And now researching, I started to search for a proper theory for why one might have red hair in the first place. I am glad to say I have it now. Long before anyone living can remember, a family of scholars once thought to eat an abundance of cherries and carrots as a way to change their hair color. The Fae, looking down on them, happened to witness this and sprinkling dust on them, not only did they receive their red hair, they were bestowed with many abilities – speed, smarts, beauty and so forth. Abilities like the animals that are red like them. Foxes, for one. Every person with red or fiery hair is their descendant, and this explains why each of them act similar. We need people to open their eyes and be free-thinkers. An Update on New Fairies and Uncanny-Creatures : GIVING THEM A HOME Since establishing the Faedom, we have gained numerous new creatures and fairies and in such a short amount of time, too. HONEYDEW, THE RACOON-OWL, was the first fae to come to us and by far, the most intelligent. They are of the Vila subtype, a flying raccoon with the wings of an owl. They adore berries and sugar, and offer sky surveillance in our searches. For this, we’ve given them the position of ARCH-FAESTER, so that they may be a voice for their own kind. Officially, he lives where the previously named ‘Hoonse’ used to be. RHINONATHAN, ODDBALL OF THE RHINO KINGDOM, came to me on the day of the pet races. He is a Rhino that stands on two legs, and speaks as the Baruches do. His horn is made of a glimmering green stone, a beautiful feature of his. He does not appreciate being referred to as an uncanny-creature, and prefers terms such as Oddball and Perplexing Person. As he relayed to us, he comes from a kingdom where every name begins with an -rh. MUDZSKIPS, WONK OF WONK-FOLK, came to Barley and I in the Kings of Yore Crypts– previously the Duchy of Vermia. He is a walking, talking frog, who wears the most dapper of clothes. His breath does not smell good, but this can be overlooked over time, for his wit and his funnyness is what overshadows that. Sadly, he is the last of his kind, he has relayed to us. For his safety and rehabilitation, he resides in Jerovitz, beside the big swamp – a worthy home for him. All these creatures will be included in the OFFICIAL COMPENDIUM, which will be released in a Saint’s year or so. As for the Ice Fairy I found after the Fairy Hunt, if you are reading this, or if anyone sees them, please come to the back gardens so I can properly house you. Hoonse is No Longer : A NEW ERA After our fairy expetition, I was informed of an old place upstairs in the Prikaz that used to be called Hoonse. When I came, it was empty and deserted, all its past inhabitants moved out and gone. Therefore, I’ve seen it fit to claim these lands and add it to the Valtakoengzem’s many spots. It will also be named Hoonse no longer. Ideally, it is to be a place where all uncanny-creatures can freely gather, perhaps a new spot for the Polder Passes. This, however, will be discussed in the next Enchanted Council Meeting. PENNED BY, Her Serene High-upness, ELIZAVETA ULYANA BARBANOV-BIHAR, 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 Dillyest High-upness, MAGDA CATALINA WIESZCZ, Prinzenas of the Rats, Countess of Ratatoostadt, The Magic Treasure-Keeper, The High Magical Soothsayer of the Faedom, The (young) Oracle

[!] Numerous copies of this missive were spread about Karosgrad – from the inside of the Prikaz, all the way to the docks outside the gates. Though they all had the very same drawing on the front, each came with something unique – a sticker out of place, a particular stamped shape missing, or perhaps a lack of stickers at all. Most likely because the young artist could not accommodate for every page. However, what did stay continuous on each missive was the author’s incorrect grammar, and often a lack of punctuation. Signed on said drawing was the youth’s name. [The Flight of a Noomie, Elizaveta Ulyana Barbanov-Bihar; c. 415 E.S.] (Artist, @Monaaa) ─────── °✾° ─────── HARK! If your reading this then your in for something. Something really big because this is more than me and you. You know who I am, I know who I am, so we should not waste time on introducing and get to the most important part of all. When my good friend Sorina was born my theory is that fairies of the highest ranking slipped in from her window and while she was sleeping, as a baby, they laid dust over her forehead and hair. This is what caused her hair to be so golden. When I was born (And I know this because I saw in a vision, which was confirmed to be true by a paper I saw) a very tall Tankledor [Tankledors are tall, skinny black stags with the body of a skinny man] slithered into my crib and took my first eye away. Since both these things have happened, Sorina has been given the power to speak to fairies and I have since gotten my eyes back and also that Tankledor (Who is named Viktor var Volodomster now) has switched from the Man of Shadow’s side and onto my side. For these reasons, me and Sorina see it fit that we be in charge of taking care of all fae-kind and uncanny-creature life in not only all of Karosgrad, but the whole realm. It is important that they are protected by anyone who would try to hurt them. Me and Sorina are the perfect choices for this task, because Sorina keeps a compindiyum compendium on all fae-life she has encountered ever and I know by heart who is who in the different realms of uncanny-creature society. Not only this, but she and me are two sides of light and dark (she is the light and I am the dark) and that keeps balance in the realm. For this reason, we both have started the Nikirala Fae Mission. ─────── °✾° ─────── The Details: The first step to establishing order for those we have sworn to protect, we need safe places to build our sanctuaries – places where the fairies and uncanny-creatures can live in harmony and peace. These places must be one that is full of plants moss and bugs, all things that are required for fairies and their noomie sect to survive. If you are reading this, and you know a good place, tell me and Sorina so we can make sure. It also must be a place that is hidden, and not open. Being in an open place will cause fairies and noomies to run away and get lost in the snow, where they will die a horrible death and theyre race will be extinct. Once we have our place, we will give ourselves jobs and titles, so that we can properly watch over fairy and creature kind in a good way. These titles will go as follows: SORINA MONDBLOOM-LUCYFARU LORELEI MONDBLUME-LUCEAFĂRU OF RICHTYBURG(?) will be crowned Her Magical Majesty, Valtakoenas of the Entire Faedom and the Holy Grand Magical Lady of Karosgrad III. @Mady Her duties (haha) are very simple and makes sense. Sorina has a mamej, Lady Moli, who is very magical and therefore she gets that from her. Then she has a knightly papej. All these qualities makes her a good leader to rule and oversee the entire Empire. Karosgrad III is the capital of the Faedom realm and it will be put by Woldzmeer, a very nice home. ELIZAVETA ULYANA BARBANOV-BIHAR OF ALBAN (ME) will be coronated and bestowed the position of Her Serene High-upness, Grand Speaker and Hauchprinzenas of the Principality of Polder Passes. @Monaaa Even though I am not good at speaking I think I do a good job of speaking for the uncanny-creatures of Polder Passes which is the Principality I have been ruling since I was small, which is right now in my old playroom but will soon be moved somewhere bigger. I will also work very closely with the Valtakoenas and act her wishes out on both fae-kind and uncanny-creature life. BARLEY “THE HANDSOME, SO THEY SAY'' WICK will be sworn in and bestowed the position of His Gracefulness, High Lord Paladine, Paramounting Knight of the Fae Order and Herzen of Vermia. @Scourge My aedypapej has the job of Lord Palatine actually and he is good at it. So to make sure that Barley does not have to measure up to him the name Paladine is to set them a part. With that job, he is supposed to advise the Valtakoenas on what she should do with her rulings and speak with the fae-kind one on one. His second job is the Paramounting Knight, and he will raise the forces of the feared Fae Order which is a mix of all the scariest creatures in the Faedom ready to fight to defend the Valtakoengzem’s weakest. As Duke of the Duchy of Vermia, he also oversees all rodents and snakes, rodents that are not rats. Vermia is where the gardens outside are, and its manor is in the crypt of the kings, who live there as residence. MAGDA CATALINA “THE ORACLE (NOT OLD)” WIESZCZ will be named Her High-upness, Prinzenas of the Rats, Komitas of Ratatoostadt, Magical Treasures-Keeper, and The High-Magical Soothsayer of the Faedom. @Melpomenne Magda really loves rats and even though everyone else might not, they are still vermin that deserve to be protected and cared for. The rats are important to the nature system of fae-kind society. Therefore, to take care of them, Magda has been named the Prinzenas of them all, and rules the County of Ratatoostadt alongside Calanthe Wick, which is right in the deep crypts. Magda has also taken on the jobs of Magical Treasure-Keeper, which keeps the items of the fae-world safe from ever being stolen. Because she is such a hard worker, she also decided being the High-Magical Soothsayer was a job she could do. We need a Soothsayer because without knowing about the visions she sees, we will not be able to take the right actions. ISABEL “THE SMART” BARUCH has earned with her smartness the position of Her Gracefulness, Holy Envoy, Pristine Peacemaker, and Komitas of Val-Whale. @sarahbarah I gave an interview to Isabel because I know how much she wants to be an ambassador. So to prepare her for her job when she gets older, she will be the Holy Envoy and Pristine Peacemaker. This job is to make sure arguments and problems between fae-kind, uncanny-creatures, or any vermin are resolved and relations in the Valtakoengzem are not broken up. Since she also is going to be Duchess when she grows up and gets old she has taken the chance to be responsible and have a County inside Valwick called the County of Val-Whale. This will be the home to a kind of uncanny-creature that I think really suits her – the Wolloby Whales (They are whales with bird wings and human legs, which helps them to swim in water and ice.). SHROUT BOOKER CARD, if he wants to, is allowed the position of His Funnyship, Super Appointed Funny Man. @Xx_BloodStalk_xX Shrout is always making me and everyone he meets laugh. But after what he did to Sorina and because he is often not around he cannot be entrusted with land to take care of any type of fae-kind, uncanny-creature, or vermin. Also he once attempted to eat a Noomie, the Mushroom Fae-people. Therefore, the only job Shrout will be trusted with is the job of Funny Man. He has to provide entertainment for all of the Faedom without trying to eat its inhabitants, and he must cheer up the Valtakoenas whose feelings he has hurt deeply. Until the sanctuary’s empire is completed, and you are able to step into its lands, you can call us all by our normal names. But when you are in these places, you can only call everyone listed and going to be listed how it says here. By then everyone will be doing theyre job and ruling theyre lands. We still have a few jobs left that we still need to get sorted before the sanctuary is formed. This is to make sure it runs well. If I think of more I will add them later. ʚīɞ It is vital that we have the HIGHEST PONTIFF. The inhabitants of the sanctuary may want to marry or most importantly go to the Seven Skies. Therefore, the bearer of this title must be the one to ensure the sanctuarys holiness. They must be well read on the scrolls and must be willing to study up on the beliefs and ways of the fae-life, uncanny-creatures, and vermin. So far, I have not found anyone to fit this task, so if you are reading this and you think you are ready please talk to me or Sorina. ʚīɞ We also need a GRAND MAGIC MARSHALL because if we don’t there is a problem of who will make arrests and who will make sure the inhabitants follow the few little laws we give. The bearer of this job must do exactly that and work with the Paramounting Knight in doing so. Personally I have found two people that fit the description and they are both named Matyas. One is my brother ( @Gusano) and one is Matyas Baruch. So, to figure out who will get the job first I will host a sparring match between both of them and whoever wins gets the job. ʚīɞ 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. Anyone who takes these jobs must know how the bodies of all fae-kind, uncanny-creatures, and vermin so that they can properly cure them. Recently, we had an accident with one of the rats, Sergi-boy the First, and had he perished it would have spelled great problems for the Faedom. ─────── °✾° ─────── 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, and also please help us find good places where we can set up where they live. Have a very dobry day.
