DrAckroyd: possible suggestion

{{ResolvedTalk}}

Found a bad fact here- According to [[DermPachyges]] (Which is way older
than this entry) the [[Cataract Road]] construction didn't start
until -74 [[EC]]! Gonna try to salvage this entry...
--[[User:Joe Bowers|Joe Bowers]] 00:02, 6 Jul 2005 (EDT)
:A note to suggest that the causeway was ''incorporated'' into the Cataract Road might do the trick as was the Yérplat Ridge. Rather than suggest that the casueway was the Cataract Road, it would instead suggest that much of the Cataract road was merely cobbled together from existing roads (Like US-66). --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H.

Ghyll:Rich Earth Cactus

2005-07-02T14:57:24Z

DrAckroyd: /* Economic Importance */ less clumsy wording

__TOC__

Also known as: Rich Cactus, "the REC", Fuzzy Sticks.

==Identification and Field Marks==

A well-known member of the Green-Things-That-Hurt-If-You-Get-Close family (though far less mobile than the goats of the [[Sarfelogian Mountains]], whose definition of "close" is determined by their current mood), the '''Rich Earth Cactus''' can grow to 1 [[unanit]] tall, though the average is usually half that. The plants vary in the shade of their green (less ominously so than the aforementioned goats), and have no "branches" or "leaves" as one would normally suspect. Instead, the "leaves" have evolved into sharp and pointy spines which, in addition to allowing less water to evaporate than regular leaves, defend the cactus against water-seeking animals. Thousands and thousands of these spikes cover its entire surface area. In place of "branches", the Rich Earth Cactus is a single pole of 1 to 2 [[nanit]] thickness, sometimes with upwards of ten smaller poles sprouting from the primary and each other.

==Bloom Period==

The Rich Earth Cactus blooms whenever the hell it wants, which infuriates the still-life artists that have taken up residence to the south of [[Iganefta]]. When they do "stretch their limbs", as these fuddy duddy creative types call it, the small flowers are often in the most vibrant colors of red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, and violet. Some naturalists have admonished that the plants also bloom green, but the still-lifers claim this is "nature being beautiful and unique for its record keepers." Alternatively, artmongers suggest that a painting made up of ''all'' green would never sell well, and some have even whispered that the artists simply ran out of that color during their painting of the plant's body.

==Similar Species==

There are numerous variants on the cactus formula, mostly dealing with size, shape, possibility of pain, greatness of pain, and length of pain. Some are small and round, with no poles whatsoever. Others have very few spikes, making them delectable treats to the horrors of the south. Still others harbor poison instead of water. There are many variants awaiting discovery, but so few souls brave enough to explore.

==Habitat==

Rich Earth Cactii, and their brothers and sisters, are only known to exist in the dry [[cactus forests]] of the south. Of late, the south remains largely unexplored to known inhabitants of Ghyll, primarily because of the perfectly natural and ordinary deaths of a group conducting a study of the forests, as well as [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]]'s (furiously denied) connection with it and the [[doggerel plague]].

Even the still-lifers, who make their living selling the "beauty of the cactii" camp on the very edge of the desert, "near, but not enough to disturb the serenity!", peering in cautiously and intently for their artistic inspirations. Because of this "respectful distance", the plants received an early nickname of "Fuzzy Sticks", until a much later discovery that cuddling is rather more than painful.

==Economic Importance==

Besides "avian spearing", in which rocks ("3 for an Ooo!") are thrown at flying birds (of the same [[Kmuppens' Taxonomy|species]] [[hork|of fowl]] used by [[TransAvian]]) in hopes of them falling and being impaled on the top of a Rich Earth Cactus ("Feeling bad for what you've done? Try [[Ignatius Maximillian Albertus Crank|Crank, Jr.]]'s Happy Tonic, guaranteed to grow not only hair, but smiles!"), the Rich Earth Cactus currently serve no economic importance. There may be some measure of truth to the rumors that cactus poison has been used in some assassin attempts, but we've yet to find anyone willing to step forward with their Bill of Sale.

Ghyll:Focused farming

2005-06-30T14:44:14Z

DrAckroyd: /* Controversy */ Scholarly comment (and minor corrections)

The diet of most Ghyllians consists of fruit, confections and the ubiquitous sugarsweets, with a smattering of meats such as the many-legged milicow and the soft-shelled lobs (for those with access to the sea). While the culinary creation of confections has risen to an arte practiced mainly by chefs, and the culling of animals and the raising of fruit belong respectively to ranchers and orcharders, the making of sugarsweets has continued to belong to all Ghyllians... specialized knowledge nor talent is needed, neither are registered lands nor special permits. As even the youngest of grubs knows well, all that is needed are leftovers and a spare corner.

Eat a meal; take the left-overs and pile them into a mound; allow the mound to rot and ferment; add more left-overs; spit some gastric juice onto the mound for added flavor; let sit to ferment; add more left-overs; let sit some more; ripeness can be determined by the fragrance of the mound; ferment to taste; eat up!

Spitmounds are ubiquitous in Ghyllian society. Whether one is a grubling with an apple core or a matron with fruit peels, the custom has always been to toss it in an out-of-the-way spot and create a mound, or to add to an existing mound. Our villages, hamlets and towns are littered with these fermenting piles of sweet-smelling left-overs. The air is perfumed with their fragrance and all are invited to regurgitate any portion of a meal upon them, hastening the ripening and adding flavor.

Many, however, see '''focused farming''' as a threat to this universal habit and hobby. The proponents of focused farming, though, say that their method of cultivation allows for a greater increase in the yield of spitmounds.

==Controversy==
Whereas the common bugger simply begins a spitmound where he or she pleases, those who practice focused farming measure out a space and fence it in. Whereas anyone can add to a normal mound whenever they like, practitioners of focused farming allow no one but their own people to add, and only at certain times. Whereas anyone with enough spittle can pour forth upon the pile their oozing juices, the practitioners allow only a select few to do so.

As far as partaking of the munchy mounds, in every town anyone can choose to scoop up a taste whenever they get a liking to, but focused mounds are only open to the public during select times. In fact, in -1 [[EC]] some of these farmers began a festival in [[Folktown]] and in Toria (of the [[Dulalian Empire]]) called [[Regurgitation Revels]] in which amidst dancing and drinking they lay out for all to taste their wares of the current fermentation. Invited are all who care to come, but of special invitation the group of Folktown farmers also call upon members of the [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]]. A few have come, but some have chosen to stay away, unsure as to how their appearance might be seen by those who disdain such farming techniques.

The jury is still out as to which method produces better sweets, but one thing is sure, the practitioners of focused farming live mainly in the largest towns and the few cities that dot Ghyll, while the majority of Ghyllians, living as they do everywhere else, continue to look on the fencing of properties and hiding away of spitmounds as hurtful, selfish, and at a minimum unsanitary (many have said: "how do we know ''what'' they put into it?"). Only time will tell whether this method of farming will weather the winds of time and become more than just a fad, a much-maligned one at that!

A facinating article, I have to say. My own take on the focussed farming phenomenon is that it is often intriguing how the farmers will claim certain flavor properties for their particular mounds based on the quality, ingredients or age of the regurgitants. I myself am more partial to the pleasant surprise (or occasional nasty aftertaste) one gets when munching a communal mound over the more tailored flavor experiences offered by this kind of farming. They lack the subtleties of a mound that has been spat upon by an entire neighborhood. --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]] 10:42, 30 Jun 2005 (EDT)

DrAckroyd: day?

''[[Aliens Everywhere]]'' as a publication is well known for the sensationalism of its articles and the [[Quiver'n'bend]] attitude of its staff. The notoriety of the [[Daydream Believer]] and his conjoined twin, Head Deux, is well deserved.

A pseudonym used to protect one's identity is of dubious value when you are a freak of nature. Hence the identity of the Daydream Believer is unusually well known. However, in light of the case The Daydream Believer vs. [[Folktown Records]] and its astronomical settlement it would be an act of professional suicide to reveal that secret here.

This sort of [[Raking|known-but-unknown]] truth is at the core of the name chosen by the illustrious columnist. In trial procedure, the Daydream Believer is responsible for retaining in his imagination the truthful scenario as relayed by the witnesses. It is his or her responsibility to relate on demand the current truth as witnesses have portrayed it.

As a professional [[Loremaster|accumulator of truth]], the Daydream Believer might not be able to recall that the grass was blue-green or the sky a vivid lavender on a given day if that were not relevant to the testimony, but they would certainly be able to tell you if a nest were on the left or right of the den or if there were any [[vorpcara]] hanging nearby.

In a trial the Daydream Believer is allowed to ask questions that are designed to clarify or elaborate on the events or setting. For instance they may ask if a Ghyllian took a particular route through a room in order to establish a path. Then if later testimony reveals an inconsistency then the Daydream Believer may alter the testimony to fit the available facts.

For this reason, the [[Last witness|last witnesses]] to testify are considered the least reliable. Once all testimony has been given the Daydream Believer weaves his (or her) tale of the events in question for the trial as the official truth.

As keeper of the ''[[Aliens Everywhere]]'' official truth, The Daydream Believer has been the standard for the unique and sometimes bizarre truth as seen by [[Bobby Shwarmph]] and his publication. As for ''Juggling Small Animals'', that publication is, in truth, bizarre.

From [[Egron]]: An excerpt from ''[[Aliens Everywhere]]''
<blockquote>The backdrop: He's from someplace called Egron, and he's gone-daddy-gone; something is wrong with him but nobody can remember what and the man isn't gonna remind us. Probably he's in on the Aliens or something. All we [[Wadjidir|tools]] need to know is that we should go ahead and forget him, and they sure make it easy, don't they? During the trial they don't mention his name, and the professional [[Daydream Believer]] on the scene has to keep reminding all of us (gently) that he's what we're here to talk about (your crusading reporter kept notes, which he had to agree to turn back over to the man after the issue went out, and which will doubtless get his name on whatever list the man keeps in his basement; I'm taking the bullet for you, reader).</blockquote>

<blockquote>She's on the stand, looking like death warmed over, while this legal [[Wadjidir|tool]] for the Alien conspiracy talks about how she refuses to forget him. At first, she's silent, crying quietly, but soon she starts piping up. She says she can't forget him, he was her shining knight, she might as well just forget herself. Then, right there in front of all of these [[Wadjidir|tools]] she starts to talk about him, about the way he talked, about the songs he would sing to himself at work, about his clothing and his bad jokes, and the [[Wadjidir|tools]] just go nuts; a bailiff chemically silences her, there is a buzz about courtroom contagion, and this reporter starts to get some recalls about this Egron place (unfortunately, all I managed to get into my notes is that [[Folktown]] could clobber their ball club) and then the tools start back up harping about She's a threat to public good, and isn't this a perfect example of why she can't be allowed to walk the streets. I tell you, the aliens sure do have us in their pocket.</blockquote>

<blockquote>So at the end of it, they give her the sentence -- play along or they'll send her away. She nods her head, and they null the chemicals, and then when she can speak she shouts "Send me away! Send me to him!" and starts crying. Now the [[Daydream Believer]] softly walks over to the stand, and says "But dear, you'll die, you know." And damn if she doesn't just nod her head again. And then they lead all of us in the gallery out, and we wait while the [[Daydream Believer|goons]] interview each one of us, individually, for contamination and inform us of our obligations as witnesses. </blockquote>

<blockquote>I'll tell you, they sure do have us in their pocket.</blockquote>

From ''[[Aliens Everywhere]]'':

Many famous personalities have once worked at Aliens Everywhere!, most notably its founder and editor, [[Bobby Shwarmph]], who hasn't been seen since -4 [[EC]]. Another famous personality is the [[Daydream Believer]], who is the double-headed star reporter known for talking in the third person and sometimes reponding to his own questions. Yet another is his second head, known as Head Deux, who owns his own small publication about juggling small animals, called appropriately enough, Juggling Small Animals.

From [[Talk:Aliens Everywhere]]:

Another point: you use Daydream Believer like a proper name, but in [[Egron]] it appears to be the name of a role or category of people. This can be salvaged by referring to ''the'' Daydream Believer, with emphasis. --[[User:Jcowan|John Cowan]] 14:33, 17 May 2005 (EDT)

From [[Egron]]: An excerpt from ''[[Aliens Everywhere]]''
<blockquote>The backdrop: He's from someplace called Egron, and he's gone-daddy-gone; something is wrong with him but nobody can remember what and the man isn't gonna remind us. Probably he's in on the Aliens or something. All we [[Wadjidir|tools]] need to know is that we should go ahead and forget him, and they sure make it easy, don't they? During the trial they don't mention his name, and the professional [[Daydream Believer]] on the scene has to keep reminding all of us (gently) that he's what we're here to talk about (your crusading reporter kept notes, which he had to agree to turn back over to the man after the issue went out, and which will doubtless get his name on whatever list the man keeps in his basement; I'm taking the bullet for you, reader).</blockquote>

<blockquote>She's on the stand, looking like death warmed over, while this legal [[Wadjidir|tool]] for the Alien conspiracy talks about how she refuses to forget him. At first, she's silent, crying quietly, but soon she starts piping up. She says she can't forget him, he was her shining knight, she might as well just forget herself. Then, right there in front of all of these [[Wadjidir|tools]] she starts to talk about him, about the way he talked, about the songs he would sing to himself at work, about his clothing and his bad jokes, and the [[Wadjidir|tools]] just go nuts; a bailiff chemically silences her, there is a buzz about courtroom contagion, and this reporter starts to get some recalls about this Egron place (unfortunately, all I managed to get into my notes is that [[Folktown]] could clobber their ball club) and then the tools start back up harping about She's a threat to public good, and isn't this a perfect example of why she can't be allowed to walk the streets. I tell you, the aliens sure do have us in their pocket.</blockquote>

<blockquote>So at the end of it, they give her the sentence -- play along or they'll send her away. She nods her head, and they null the chemicals, and then when she can speak she shouts "Send me away! Send me to him!" and starts crying. Now the [[Daydream Believer]] softly walks over to the stand, and says "But dear, you'll die, you know." And damn if she doesn't just nod her head again. And then they lead all of us in the gallery out, and we wait while the [[Daydream Believer|goons]] interview each one of us, individually, for contamination and inform us of our obligations as witnesses. </blockquote>

<blockquote>I'll tell you, they sure do have us in their pocket.</blockquote>

From ''[[Aliens Everywhere]]'':
Many famous personalities have once worked at Aliens Everywhere!, most notably its founder and editor, [[Bobby Shwarmph]], who hasn't been seen since -4 [[EC]]. Another famous personality is the [[Daydream Believer]], who is the double-headed star reporter known for talking in the third person and sometimes reponding to his own questions. Yet another is his second head, known as Head Deux, who owns his own small publication about juggling small animals, called appropriately enough, Juggling Small Animals.

From [[Talk:Aliens Everywhere]]:
Another point: you use Daydream Believer like a proper name, but in [[Egron]] it appears to be the name of a role or category of people. This can be salvaged by referring to ''the'' Daydream Believer, with emphasis. --[[User:Jcowan|John Cowan]] 14:33, 17 May 2005 (EDT)

Ghyll:Creator

2005-06-03T15:33:07Z

DrAckroyd: forgot an apostrophe and other miscellaeous broken links

All of the cultures of Ghyll, current and historical, have had a tradition in one form or another of the '''Creator'''. Sometimes contradictory and usually indicative of deep rooted questions about the nature of the cosmos, the tales of Creation are as varied as the cultures themselves.

The following is a partial list of some of the variety of creation myths of the different cultures.

==[[Alezanians|Alezan]]==
In the beginning there were only two: The Sun God and the Queen. All the mysteries and power in the Above belonged to the Sun, while the Queen controlled the magic of the Below. In the Underworld, abode of the Gods, they dwelt and they were All. There was neither man nor woman, bird nor beast, no living thing until these Two willed it to be.

In time it came to them that there should be other Gods to share their labors. So the Sun touched the Queen and she laid her first clutch of five eggs. Of those five hatched [[Varlansk]], Ul'o, [[Looliers|Looly]], [[Carsokian|Carsok]], and [[User:Rue|RUE]] – the pentadiety [[Vulcrue]]. As time unrolled there followed the second clutch of eight, known as [[Shtreiml]] the "Joyful Divine Octuplets".

And then it came about that these Two had one Thought and it was a mighty Thought -- that they would make Ghyll to be between the Above and the Below where now lay shimmering only the Endless Waters. So they sat them side by side, swaying their beautiful bronze bodies to the pulsing music of their own great voices, making the First Magic Song, a song of rushing winds and flowing waters, a song of light and sound and life.

==Avazian==
In the beginning there was only water, a chaos of churning, bubbling water, this Avazians called Qes or Qest. It was out of Qes that everything began. As with the [[Qestarius River|Qestarius]], each year its retreat no doubt caused chaos to all creatures living on the land, so this represents Qes. Eventually the floods would recede and out of the chaos of water would emerge a hill of dry land, one at first, then more. On this first dry hilltop, on the first day came the first sunrise. So that is how the Avazians explain the beginning of all things.

==[[Kebro-shepenor]]==
People did not always live on the surface of Ghyll. At one time people and animals lived underneath the earth with the Great Master and Lord of All Life. In this place people and animals lived together peacefully.

First the Master created a wondrous tree, with branches stretching over the entire country. At the base of the tree he dug a hole that reached all the way down into the world where the people and animals lived. After he had finished furnishing the world as he pleased he led the first Ghyllian up the hole. Next, he began helping the animals climb out of the hole. In their eagerness some of the animals found a way to climb up through the tree's roots and come out of the branches. They continued racing out of the world beneath until all of the animals were out.

The Master gathered all the people and animals about him. He instructed them to live together peacefully. Then he turned to the men and women and warned them not to build any fires or a great evil would befall them. As evening approached the sun began to sink beneath the horizon, but when the sun disappeared fear entered the hearts of the people. They could no longer see each other as they lacked the eyes of the animals which were capable of seeing in the dark. In desperation one of the Ghyllians suggested that they build a fire to keep warm. Forgetting the Master's warning they disobeyed him. They soon grew warm and were once again able to see each other.

However the fire frightened the animals. They fled to the caves and mountains and ever since the people broke the Master's command people have not been able to communicate with animals. Now fear has replaced the seat friendship once held between the two groups.

==[[Xurient|Xuriental]]==
In the beginning there were no people in the [[Xurient]].

Lumawig, the Great Spirit, came down from the sky and cut many reeds. He divided these into pairs which he placed in different parts of the world, and then he said to them, "You must speak." Immediately the reeds became people, and in each place was a man and a woman who could talk, but the language of each couple differed from that of the others.

Then Lumawig commanded each male and female to mate, which they did. By and by there were many hatchlings, all speaking the same language as their parents. These, in turn, mated and had many hatchlings. In this way there came to be many people in the [[Xurient]].

Now Lumawig saw that there were several things which the people in the [[Xurient]] needed to use, so he set to work to supply them. He created salt, and told the inhabitants of one place to boil it down and sell it to their neighbors. But these people could not understand the directions of the Great Spirit, and the next time he visited them, they had not touched the salt.

Then he took it away from them and gave it to the people of a place called Mayinit. These did as he directed, and because of this he told them that they should always be owners of the salt, and that the other peoples must buy of them.

Then Lumawig went to the people of Bontoc and told them to get clay and make pots. They got the clay, but they did not understand the molding, and the jars were not well shaped. Because of their failure, Lumawig told them that they would always have to buy their jars, and he removed the pottery to Samoki. When he told the people there what to do, they did just as he said, and their jars were well shaped and beautiful. Then the Great Spirit saw that they were fit owners of the pottery, and he told them that they should always make many jars to sell.

In this way Lumawig taught the people and brought to them all the things which they now have.

==Looliers==
The first living thing was Pankuu. He evolved inside a gigantic cosmic egg, which contained all the elements of the universe totally intermixed together. Pankuu grew by about 10 feet each day. As he grew he separated the Land and the Sky within the egg. At the same time he gradually separated the many opposites in nature male and female, wet and dry, light and dark, wet and dry, good and evil. These were all originally totally commingled in the egg. While he grew he also created the first [[Looliers]]. After 18,000 years the egg hatched and Pankuu died from the effort of creation. From his eyes [[Pinky]] and [[Perky]] appeared, from his sweat, rain and dew, from his voice, thunder, and from his body all the natural features of Ghyll arose.

==[[Nitenmangrey]]==
From what we can determine, there is only a single deity in the [[Nitenmangrey]] pantheon - Izrâ´îl Tâwûs Malâk. The bulk of their religion is attributed to rituals prescribed by this deity. After the [[Nitenmangrey]] age passed, it was Izrâ´îl Tâwûs Malâk – renamed ''[[The Beast]]'' that has became most often portrayed as evil or, more accurately, the moral opposite of the Creator, by other cultures.

This may be in part because, according to [[Nitenmangrey]] myth, the Creator created seven servants, the greatest of which was Izrâ´îl Tâwûs Malâk who was the chief of the Creator's serants. The other six are Dardâ´îl, Ishrâfâ´îl, Mikail abû Bakr, Sajâdin, Samnâ´îl and Nûrâ´îl. The Creator placed a pure white pearl made from his soul onto the back of Izrâ´îl Tâwûs Malâk to mark his honor.

But Izrâ´îl Tâwûs Malâk took the pearl and created his own people. So the Creator replaced Izrâ´îl Tâwûs Malâk with Nûrâ´îl (whom he named Malâk Tâwûs). The people created by Izrâ´îl Tâwûs Malâk became the [[Nitenmangrey]].

==[[Down There]]==
''Aliens Everywhere'' editor, [[Bobby Shwarmph]], depicts the cultures of [[Down There]] as being a huge "monotheistic culture that seems to have several variations of worshipping the same deity in diverse ways that all seem to be at war with each other." He portrays some of their myths including the absurd notion that their world was created in six days by the divine words of their deity. This god then rests on the seventh day and implores his creation to do the same.

==[[York of Brahang]]==
[[York of Brahang]] theorized that all of Ghyll was, in fact, a fiction created in the collective minds of [[Gerth|another race]] as yet unknown. This fiction was mutable and evolved as it was created by many minds often leading to some of the unique aspects of Ghyllian life we accept as commonplace.

This theory was adapted in a [[Mother Mutton's Golden Books|Mother Mutton's Golden Book]] (and Coloring Fun) that was retracted and later re-issued under more generic concepts as ''[[Mother Mutton's Golden Books|Mother Mutton's Golden Book of Linear and Dynamic Historical Projection Techniques and Coloring Fun]]''

All known copies of [[York of Brahang]]'s heretical documents are currently held by the [[Unquisition]].

==[[Folktown]]==
According to local tradition, when the Creator wiped Ghyll from its finger, there was a small place where the land was lifted as it adhered to His receding digit. The town that formed at this central feature became known as [[Folktown]] and [[Arbuckle Hill|the hill]] was named [[Folktown]] Hill.

==Modern Thought==
It is believed that the gods are all (or mostly) dead and that their carcasses now form the various mountains, valleys, rivers, and other geographical features of Ghyll. How – or even if - this happened is still being hotly debated by the academic community.

Ghyll:Aminfarances

2005-05-29T19:42:09Z

DrAckroyd: Scholarly Comment

__TOC__

'''Aminfarances''' is said to be the founder (or foundress) of the [[Aminfarances Institute of Science and Technomancy|Institute of Science and Technomancy]] which bears his (or her) name and which shall be here after referred as AIST or simply Institute. This enigmatic figure belongs to the dark past, to the fog-shrouded yesteryear, to the Time before Now; exactly how long before the Now is not quite known and a subject of strenuous debate amongst those that care.

Aminfarances was born to the southwest of the [[Dagger Seas]] (per the ''2’Xzia Parchment'', currently on loan to [[Bute University]], which speaks of a journey northwards to an unknown sea of which the nearest is the Daggers), some time before -400 [[EC]]. This is derived from an analysis of various materials such as the Tradition sung by the AIST which states that the School went underground during the reign of [[King Harandraff the Great]] (circa -400 [[EC]]). The ''Letter to the Stingy Wilh'' is also of benefit as it refers to both Aminfarances as well as a rite of canoralist batting involving a short stocky stick, a jar of honey, and a pre-wed maiden’s bum. Though undated, the superstitious nature of the ritual obviously points to its antiquity.

As to how far before -400 [[EC]], that is inconclusive. The belief of the [[Aminfarances Institute of Science and Technomancy|Institute]], according to its sung saga, brings the birth to sometime in the –8th century [[EC]]. But members of the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]] and the [[Bureau of Recovered Knowledge]] have mutterered that members of the AIST tend to drink too much elhenberry beer while singing songs. Suffice it to say, we just don’t know.

How odd it may also seem that we do not know even the gender of this famed person. Nor do we know the color of his (or her) eyes, the shape of his (or her) head, not even his (or her) favorite color. Some say this is because such details were unimportant in “those days” (as if they knew what the [[splak]] they were talking about!); others say Aminfarances was a neurotic overly worried about a rather large mole on the side of his (or her) left cheek and so forbid anyone to write any descriptor regarding his (or her) person even unto personal pronouns! The AIST venemously reject this as a bunch of undocumented tripe.

==Activity==
As the Tradition is sung, Aminfarances settled in a land ruled by "the Rhrhs." Once settled, he (or she) gathered a group of students – the Institute says ten, the Academy (below) eight. Of this original group, called the ''First'', only one name survives the ages: Qib of Nifhar. Though the location of Nifhar is unknown, the location of the first school may be discerned by the name of the land’s rulers: Rhrhs. Although the language of today's Tradition is obviously [[Modern Standard Ghyllian]], it has been handed down from ''Early Somewhat Irregular Ghyllian'', and before that ''Way Early Inconcise Ghyllian'', and also contains words and phrases that are decidedly non-Ghyllian. Suffice it to say, the "h" in "Rhrhs" is an accepted guttural stop-breath, and some suspect that the "r" labial-shifted over time to become the modern "l". If this is so, the Rhrhs may actually be some unknown natives called the ''Lulus'', but many scholars are coming to believe that this, in fact, is the native name for the people we call today the [[Looliers]].

With the formation of the first school, called an ''Ihk'' in the pre-Modern language of Aitch, Aminfarances also began a most daring venture: a ''Sdhim'' or fund-raising consortium. Never before seen, this consisted of small bands of individuals canvassing the countryside and knocking on doors asking for free money! The traveling was so exhaustive that the money-raisers took to baking cookies for their meals, and some even gave these away as incentive for getting the free money. Alas, some money-raisers (also called money-grabbers) neither baked cookies nor asked, but rather just took what they could from those foolish enough to open their doors at night; some say this is the true origin of the [[Wadjidir]]. The Sdhim came to an end when they were run out of one particularly powerful town by an angry mob.

Aminfarances then relocated with most of his (or her) students. This second location is also unknown, but the membership of the Institute believes it to have been in the Sejfeld area. This second school saw difficulties at the hands of its own: within one generation of the founding of the School of Aminfarances (before being renamed to the Institute), the community was nearly destroyed by an upheaval of differing opinions on such topics as the nature of seeing things rightly, the dilemma of whether a mechanic should serve a mercenary, and the ethereal "what is ''pure'' research?" (as well as some scuffle over limited quantities of liquor). The man at the center was Herve Spe’Lhex (a student brought in by Qib of Nifhar) and when the brewhaha was over, he left and took a full third of the student body. He quickly formed his own school which he called the ''Akadem Aeld Amnifaren'' in honor, so he said, of the "true teachings of Aminfarances". This "Ancient Academy of Aminfarances" (translated to [[Modern Standard Ghyllian]]) lasted until –54 [[EC]]. Aminfarances lived the next decades researching and engineering within the structure of his (or her) own school while the Academy flourished by using Aminfarances’ name to the best of their advantage. The Institute Tradition sings of this with open disdain, but the Academy Tradition sings of quiet approval by Aminfarances. Go figure.

==The Departure==
It was some time after this upheaval that Aminfarances departed. The oral sagas and various written documents use differing words to describe this "departure" and none of them are precise. As members of the Institute do not openly discuss the Departure, we are left with linguistic puzzling and the time-honored MSU method of the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]]. As to what's out there: some say that he (or she) became a demi-god(dess); others that he (or she) died of a bizarre gardening accident; still a few state that he (or she) became one with the Cosmos. Take your pick.

==Significance==
As to why anyone should care about Aminfarances, the proof is in the pudding. Aminfarances founded the (now) [[Aminfarances Institute of Science and Technomancy]], spawned the Ancient Academy of Aminfarances, brought together the two fields of ''observation'' and ''experimentation'' within a framework of organized synthesis and a hierarchy of tenure, and introduced to the world the concept of fundraising (though it did take a number of centuries to catch on). Though the roles of the AIST are not public knowledge, various breakthroughs (and a goodly number of explosions) have also been brought about; it has even been said in some circles that the creation of the [[mechanaut]] is an indirect result of AIST research.

==How and Why==
Most of our knowledge regarding Aminfarances comes mostly from the Tradition of the AIST. This Tradition may most certainly be tainted by prejudices and politics; it may even be (and is!) contradicted by other sources (including the parallel Tradition from the now-defunct Academy), yet it is the Tradition that is being handed down to the Ghyllians of this present age, and who am I to make waves against that!?!

As to the sources at our disposal, we have the A-Source (the Tradition from the AIST), the 3A-Source (the Tradition from the AAA) and the O-Source (materials from Other sources). The A-S has been sung (by their admission) for over seven centuries, while the 3A-S is a parallel Tradition stemming from the ''Akadem Aeld Amnifaren''. O-S is comprised of various parchments, letters and tomes not related to Aminfarances but that refer to him (or her), such as the ''P-26 Letter'' dated to -364 [[EC]] and currently held in the [[Odlucian Library]] or the previously mentioned ''2’Xzia Parchment'' at [[Bute University]].

For the uninitiated, the modern written record is scribed in [[Modern Standard Ghyllian]], a mode of writing in existence since only -90 [[EC]] and made extant since about -65 [[EC]]. The majority of records referring to Aminfarances are in various dialects of ''Early Somewhat Irregular Ghyllian'' and ''Way Early Inconcise Ghyllian'', and various foreign languages such as ''Untch'', ''Olkuull'', ''Aitch'', and ''Khem''. Due to the studies of the [[occultologists]] and the part-time efforts of philanthropists such as [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]], previously uninterpreted parchments and letters have shed some light on our topic.

As a tangent to this linguistic plethora, it should be noted that the name of this enigmatic historical figure, Aminfarances, is also a [[Modern Standard Ghyllian]] transliteration of his (or her) actual name. The common pronunciation is "am-in-far-EN-sis", though the switch-mages of the south speak it "am-IN-far-en-sis". This modern rendering stems from the more ancient ''Aminforenses'' (Early) which seems to be based upon ''Amni’forense'' (Way Early). We also have ''Ahmnih’ Fharen'' (Oktuull) and ''Mnih Fhrns'' (Aitch). Though Aitch looks strange to us, it must be remembered that this dead language is void of all vowels save for "i".

I would like to point out that this article, complete as it is, omits the controversial Seconday A Source as part of the written record. I know that I always refer to the ASS when it comes to matters of Traditions in the Institute. --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]] 11:53, 26 May 2005 (EDT)

:Ah, my good Doctor, how can I explain my lack of reference to the ASS? Perhaps it was the cup of cannabisium tea I was sipping at the time of my writing... whatever the case, my gratitude to you for bringing this to our collective attention. --[[User:Nikos of Ant|Nikos of Ant]] 15:35, 27 May 2005 (EDT)

Ghyll talk:Mute Chukarandos

DrAckroyd: oops.

I'm confused by the measurements in this entry. They can grow ''up to'' a [[unanit]] in length, fine. If you take the Earth conversion (based on comments in [[Talk:Chesix System Of Measures]], then 20 [[nanits]] of mouth-opening length is roughly 6.5 feet, compared to the Mutes largest body length of 10.5 feet. I'm having conceptual problems envisioning this (the closest I can come up with is a python chomping down on a deer, but even that would be a mouth of 3 feet tops). Or, I am just trying to apply too much Earth knowledge to this? Is there a visual equivalent (either realisitically or fantastically)? --[[User:Morbus Iff|Morbus Iff]] 12:08, 9 Jan 2005 (EST)

Think of an Aligator head on a tiger's body with three legs (two front and 1 back) without a tail. I was trying to figure out how wide a mouth like that could open and figured that it could get it's mouth completely around a large aelfant's leg. The measurment conversions still get me. If you think it is too big then I'll scale it down some. --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]] 16:06, 9 Jan 2005 (EST)

23:56, 14 Dec 2004 (EST) [[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]]:
Dibbbers!

00:06, 15 Dec 2004 (EST) [[User:Morbus Iff|Morbus Iff]]:
You dibbed four minutes early! You must be penalized. Your penalty, which is randomly
made up each turn based on whatever drunken concept of "integration" I can think of in
two minutes: choose one scholar, besides yourself, who played last turn. That scholar
will write one sentence ''for you'', and you must use that sentence in your entry,
somewhere. Cop-outs ("and the mystic and mysterious message of EGGPLANT was scrawled
on his foot") are frowned upon. Fun!

10:41, 15 Dec 2004 (EST) [User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]]:
Darn! I didn't look to see the timestamp of the sig, I just glanced at my clock (which
was obviously a few minutes early) then headed to straight to bed. I'll nominate Dr.
Crank as my "punisher" for this round. And thanks a whole lot. I mean it. really.

23:06, 15 Dec 2004 (EST) [[User:PhineasCrank|Doctor Phineas Crank]]:
''Indeed, having a Mute Chukarandos chewing on your ankle is rather worse than getting
divorced and finding out that your future ex-wife had genital warts after all, but only
just barely.'' Punishment contribution from [[User:PhineasCrank|Doctor Phineas Crank]]

10:30, 16 Dec 2004 (EST) [[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]]:
Nothing like taking it easy on a fellow is there? Thanks, Doc. Glad to hear the warts
are clearing up.

13:26, 16 Dec 2004 (EST) [[User:PhineasCrank|Doctor Phineas Crank]]:
Well, it was supposed to be a punishment, after all. The sentence, that is. The warts
are just the gift that keeps on giving!

19:08, 16 Dec 2004 (EST) [[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]]:
I'm curious, having been sentenced, do I now get an appeal?

16:02, 17 Dec 2004 (EST) [[User:Jcowan|Jcowan]]:
Of course you do. Your appeal is denied.

I am going to try to get the sound back online. I moved the domain to another server that had aliased that directory. I will have it online as soon as possible and will re-link the sound when I do. --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]] 09:06, 28 May 2005 (EDT)

DrAckroyd: fixed link

The inventor, philosopher, and pioneer of [[Systematic Epistemological Action]] for the masses is remembered for his very precise and instructive manual of the proper way to do things. His volume ''Not <b>That</b> Way You Splakhead, <b>This</b> Way!'' is required reading in very nearly all schools (with the exception of the [[Aminfarances Institute of Science and Technomancy|AIST]] which prides itself on its own ways). His best known work (in which he lays out the foundations and symbolism of the [[Betrothal march]]) is ''So <b>That</b> Is How It Is Going To Be'' which is in its 43rd revised edition. He is also the author of several books on subjects as diverse as [[Hermeneutics|hermeneutics]], landscaping, architecture, [[Mute Chukarandos|animal husbandry]] and [[Yclepement|yclepemecisms]].

His [[Ancestral burial tableau]] is truly excessive showing both his love of [http://www.wildandbad.com/files/BriorusJan-Vanderschusen2.jpg rigid] and controlled behavior and his [http://www.wildandbad.com/files/BriorusJan-Vanderschusen1.jpg larger-than-life] approach to all things. His tableau is currently in the collection of the [[Odlucian Library]] and is occasionally placed on display in the main hallway as it would completely dominate any other exhibit.

Ghyll:Laxicon

2005-05-26T18:06:01Z

DrAckroyd: orphaned yclepement

The Ghyll Lexicon that this article is a part of was preceded by, and is in part based on, a series of rag-a-bob publications known as '''Laxicons'''. The [[Yclepement|yclepement]] "Laxicons" is a deliberate pun on both the laxness in the academic integrity of the publications, and the fact that many of them were actively sponsored, and extraordinarily biased, by Ghyll's three largest laxative companies, which went into disrepute and bankruptcy around -15 [[EC]].

The five most important laxicons, known for historical reasons as the Quindred Couplet, were issued sporadically between -35 and -22 [[EC]]. They were all produced in the city of [[Iganefta]].

Papiolatrinearchaeologists (historians and analysts of toilet paper) have ascertained that the decade of -20 would've been known as the era of a Great Toilet Paper Shortage were it not for the laxicons. The enchanting theory behind the whole development is that as the thirst for knowledge grew amongst the public, so did their exposure to the laxicons' advertisements and hence their intake of laxatives; since toilet paper was in great demand at the time for other obvious reasons, the laxicons themselves had to be used to dispose of the mess, more laxicons bought to fill their places, and so the cycle maintained itself in a positive feedback loop.

One of the few editions to have survived being brought to the ass is that outlining the great Spigot Controversy. Its contenture was as follows:

# Spigot
# Spagot
# Spegot
# Spugot
# Spogot

This bizarrely controversial ordering almost started a civil riot, but thankfully it was quelled by a mysterious monk from the Vale of Oddbag. It is said that the monk later went to work in the [[Odlucian Library]], but I don't know about that since he was also raking in [[Quezlarian Ooo]] faster than a [[Rater Goldfish]].

DrAckroyd: /* Spurious Terms */ Just orphaned it instead...so buh bye

== Backtracking Entries ==
I have to record this somewhere becasue I always forget. This is sort of a checklist to see if I recorded everything everywhere it needs to be:

In the entries themselves it is:
* Body Text
* Citations: 1 existing, 2 phantoms (only 1 new - since 2<sup>nd</sup> round)
* Signature
* Category (in the form [ [ Category:''blah'' ] ] ) since you can never seem to remember this you git.

After the entry is complete then the backtracking begins:
* [[Ghyll Phantom Index]]: Add new Phantoms and remove old ones.
* [[Ghyll Index]]: Add new entry.
* [[WhoIsWho|Ghyll Who's Who]]: Add new entries and link any defined ones.
* [[Encyclopedant Calendar|Ghyll Timeline]]: Update any calendar entries needed.

I think that's about it.

== Spurious Terms ==
I had this idea that there are a few "spurious terms" that have no Earthly analog and that are not references, citations or phantoms. This means that there are essentially UNDEFINED terms in the encyclopedia.

As I find them I'll add them here for reference:
* anomilumina ([[Pinky]]) - A quality of light?
* couthblossom ([[Hattie's Day]]) - A plant presumeably?
* elhenberry ([[Aminfarances]]) - Something that can be made into beer.
* emphyteusis ([[Doc Rockett]]) - as used it implies a disease but I found it defined in the real world as the act of emplanting or improving land.
* gargarational ([[Brothers of the Lantern]]) - Your guess is a good as mine
* glitterthought - ([[Battle of Barnum Stones]]) - some sort of narrative?
* glugfeffil ([[Looliers]]) - a tool or artifact?
* hobosopher ([[Systematic Epistemological Action]]) - Altifur Witherspoon was one.
* honng/hongg ([[Brothers of the Lantern]]) - Your guess is a good as mine
* knackerbat ([[Quiver'n'bend]]) - It was good enough to name a group after.
* obith ([[Awal shrinkage]]) - Some property of mass?
* plonk ([[Acineen]]) - Probably a rude term applied to a Kebro-Shepnor liquor.
* shep/shepskin ([[Aliens Everywhere]]) - What ''Aliens Everywhere!'' is printed on.
* sparkularities ([[Pinky]], [[Songs of Odgar The Fourth]]) - open to sparculation.
* mureannor ([[Pickers]]) - a sort of occupation or lifestyle (per [[User:Clsn|clsn]])
* trefk (in a scholarly comment in [[Aelfants]]) - Presumeably a rude word
* treefiddy ([[Systematic Epistemological Action]]) - An expression of disbelief?
* trunggalist ([[Doc Rockett]]) - An occupation
* verapsnik ([[Looliers]]) - Some sort of religious items?
* wither-pipes ([[Acineen]]) - Something for smoking.
* wizzlard - ([[Jemima and the Square Do-Gooders]]) - Profession? Title? Some sort of -mancer?

'''Defined in context:'''

Ghyll:Quezlar family

2005-05-26T16:22:12Z

DrAckroyd: /* Quiz Quezlar */ spelling fix

__TOC__

The '''Quezlar family''' are, without question, the most wealthy family in all of Ghyll, and have been for at least the last eight generations. The current batch of Quezlars are influential in politics, the arts, the sciences, and the theater. While the fortune of earlier generations is showing signs of dwindling slightly, particularly in the years following the [[Darkened Lantern]], they are still the primary funders of the [[Council for Quezlarian Research]], and the shining luminaries of the [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]].

The legacy of the Quezlars started in -202 [[EC]], when Quinto Quaffmar "Quaff More" Quezlar founded what was to become the core of the Quezlar fortune. When the first barrel of Quezlar's Quaff rolled out of back of Quinto's barn, he was on the verge of being destitute and had sunk his remaining funds into the [[Fefferberry|fefferberries]] and the barrel. The techniques he used to make that wine remain a secret to this very day. Every few decades, rumors and urban legends surface about the secret recipe, but the Quezlars remain tightly closed-mouthed about it, and never rise to temptation to dispute the rumors.

It is this secrecy, more than anything, which has contributed to the consistent high sales, and high prices, of the Quezlar wines, which now include a selection of [[Adlorst Vinifera]] wines, as well as the traditional Quezlar's Quaff.

==The Quezlar Line==

The Quezlar line goes something like this:

===Quinto Quaffmar "Quaff More" Quezlar===
(-238 to -182 [[EC]]) Founded [[Quezlar's Quaff, Inc.]], and started the accumulation of the vast wealth enjoyed by all Quezlar's following him. Died -182 [[EC]] of "the liver rot", probably induced by his habit if drinking himself into unconsciousness each and every evening.

===X R Quezlar===
(-209 to -114 [[EC]]) Inherited empire from his father Quinto, and was saved from losing it all purely by its already enormous size and by the fact that his son arranged to have him locked away in the funny farm after just six years of managing the company. He died a very old man, raving about THE VOICES to anyone who would listen. His main contribution was the enormouse golden stein, which he claimed to have wrested away from the dread giant [[Grephthosthenes]]. The stein went missing upon his death, and remains a central part of [[Fefferberry Folklore]] to this day. For the record, though many silly people have speculated as to what the X and the R stood for, this scholar has in his possession a copy of X R's birth certificate, and his name was simply "X R".

===Rhajoon Quezlar===

(-179 to 100 [[EC]]) Wrested control of the company from his father at the absurdly young age of 10. Rhajoon was a "squeezing wrenching grasping scraping clutching covetous old sinner", to quote one contemporary source. Even at the age of 10, he was a shrewd businessman. He never drank a drop of his own product, but embarked on a carefully calculated plan to ensnare all of Ghyll in the addiction to [[Fefferberry]]. He concoted large parts of the [[Fefferberry Folklore]], and even went to the point of forging historic documents and hiring archaelogists to dig them up, in order to increase the mythos. The people of Ghyll - particularly those with substantial wealth - fell for this completely, and the future of the Quezlars was assured. Even when his fraud was exposed, it was all taken as a fine joke, and only increased the appeal of the sweet wines. When Rhajoon died, he was given a hero's funeral, and for many years, his birthday was celebrated with drunken parties lasting two or three days. Rhajoon held all of his customers in the most complete contempt, and considered it a great joke that he was held in such high regard.

<blockquote>I make them inebreiated, and they adore me. I take their money - huge amounts of it - for inferior wine, and they love me. I lie to them, mock them, and scorn them. They know it, and still they worship me. Were I to spit on them, I have no doubt they would cheer and call out for my sainthood. More! More! they cry, and plummet down the road to their own perdition. Fools. (''from "Letters to friends".'')</blockquote>

===Rhajoon Quezlar III===
(-148 to -99 [[EC]]) Ran the company for just one year before his death. He lived his entire life in the shadow of his famous father. Indeed, even his name was a joke. There was no Rhajoon II, for Rhajoon the elder felt that such was too great a gift to bestow on anyone. But he felt that an offspring of his should bear his name. So he called him Rhajoon III, and always referred to him as "Three." Three never dared to drink Quezlar's Quaff while his father lived. However, at the wake of the old man, Three got hugely ripped, and was never again sober another moment of his life. He died peacefully during a three hour board meeting one day, and nobody is quite certain just how long it was before anyone noticed.

===Mo Quezlar===
(-116 to -65 [[EC]]) Innovated the line of offerings to other beverages, including [[Fefferberry]] juice for children, and Frozen Fefferpops, as well as experimenting with [[Adlorst Vinifera|Adlorst]]. His personal experimentation with Adlorst made him one of the leading experts, but his attempts to introduce Adlorst into the Quezlar line of products was a complete failure, since the customers expected something far more low-brow. By this time, however, the production and sale of Quezlar's Quaff had achieved the status of an institution, and there was little that Mo could have done to stem the flow of wealth.

===Rhajoon Quezlar II===
(-95 to -58 [[EC]]) Apparently Mo thought that his darling son was good enough to be named Rhajoon II. Rhajoon II was a complete layabout. He was the president of the corporation, at least in name, from the death of his father until his own demise, but completely turned operation of the company over to the board of trustees, and spent the entirety of his adult life at various vacation spots, or attenting theater productions in far flung parts of the world. Rhajoon II donated enormous amounts of money to the [[Council for Quezlarian Research]], reportedly in exchange for having it named after him. He funded the construction of the Folktown Amphitheatre on the site of the ruins of the ancient Amphitheatre, and, it would appear, coined the term [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]]. At one point, he got himself elected to [[Parliament]], just to see if he could, and then promptly resigned. The story that he appointed his cat to a position of leadership in the company are completely false.

===Got Quezlar===
(-70 to -4 [[EC]]) The recently-deceased leader of the company attempted to distance himself from the attitudes of the generations before him, and decided to buckle down to business. He returned the company to its traditions of [[Fefferberry]] Wine production, and cut many of the other secondary products. Frozen Fefferpops were brought back after the protests of his own children. Unfortunately, the incident of the [[Darkened Lantern]] occurred during his tenure, and he never fully recovered from it personally, let alone professionally. The famous advertising campaign that bore his name is still studied in marketing schools around Ghyll.

===Quiz Quezlar===
(-59 to present) The current president and CEO of [[Quezlar's Quaff, Inc.]], and the wealthiest man in all of Ghyll. He seldom makes any public appearances, and is reported to be in poor health. However, he's also reported to be in great health, reported to have had cosmetic surgery to make him look like a cat, and reported to have died several years ago and to exist purely as press releases cooked up to boost public confidence in the company. Don't believe everything you read. He graciously granted me an interview, in which he told me a considerable amount of the detail that comprises this article. He assured me that the rumors about his bid for [[Parliament]] are unfounded, but he refused to comment on the recent rumors that Quezlar's Quaff contains hallucinogenic additives.

==Quezlar 6==

It almost goes without saying (and, indeed, did, until certain pedants got in the way) that the most famous of the Quezlars was Quezlar 6. What school child doesn't know of the exploits and shenanigans of Q6? Although a number of them are likely more myth than truth, here's a brief list of the things with which he is credited.

* The invention of [[Quezlarian Numerals]].
* Being the first person in recorded history (other than Andelphracia) to have used [[Andelphracian Lights]], in his triumphant crossing of the [[Elminster Mire]].
* Being the first person recorded to cross [[Elminster Mire]].
* First discovered Oooite.
* One of only two people ever to have answered their [[Hive-Lord|Mystery]].
* Held the record for most [[Fefferberry|Fefferberries]] consumed at a [[New Year's Day]] celebration. (Eye witnesses said it was simply staggering. Other eye witnesses also reported staggering.)

It is important to understand that the current batch of Quezlars tend to rather distance themselves from Quezlar 6, saying that he arrived at his fame through chance and circumstance, rather than any real talent, whereas, contrariwise, the Quezlar family arrived at their wealth through hard work. (And a considerable amount of chance, circumstance, and marketing. But who's counting?) Rhajoon the Elder was heard on more than one occasion saying to his son, "Son, you may be just Three, but you're twice the man 6 was!"

Ghyll:Mute Chukarandos

2005-05-26T16:06:25Z

DrAckroyd: /* Identification and Field Marks */ fixed link

__TOC__

'''Mute chukarandos''' are the domesticated form of the Common chukarando. Properly raised they produce several useful byproducts.

==Identification and Field Marks==
All chukarandos – members of the ghastly-things-with-fur-that-lay-eggs family – have certain traits in common: thick, brown, curly fur with black stripes and a white underbelly. They can grow as large as a [[unanit]] in length when standing on all three legs. They have elongated snouts and jaws that can open nearly ten [[nanit]]s wide. Inside their powerful jaws they have sharp serrated teeth in front for shredding and flat teeth in back for grinding. Their saliva is quite acidic and can leave a nasty burn. ''Indeed, having a Mute chukarando chewing on your ankle is rather worse than getting divorced and finding out that your future ex-wife had genital warts after all, but only just barely.'' Mute chukarandos do not have the distinctively loud growl-squawk of the Common chukarando however, this having been bred out of the species –- hence the label "mute".

==Biology==
Chukarandos' primary food source is the [[fefferberry]]. In fact, the decimation of the [[Evesque Valley]] wild [[fefferberry]] bush is due largely to the introduction of chukarandos to the Valley roughly around -100 [[EC]] (presumably by the [[Carsokian]]s), an event further related to the extinction of the [[Budgerigar Master|budgerigar birds]] in the wild.

For the chukarando, the task of digesting a [[fefferberry]] bush (not just the berries, but the entire bush) requires a remarkable intestinal fortitude. It is aided in accomplishing that task by the phenomenon of [[Awal shrinkage]]. The powerful jaws of the chukarando mash the bush and the berries into an emulsion that, combined with the acidic nature of chukarando saliva, creates a waxy solution.

In the chukarandos’ first stomach, the mixture is heated and combined with the digestive [[spelgof]]. The [http://www.wildandbad.com/files/chuckarandos.WAV growl-squawk] of the chukarando makes the mixture obithly contract and eases its passage to the second stomach where the nutrients are absorbed. A further growl and squawk allows the chukarando to pass the depleted material. During this process the chukarando glows faintly orange.

Mute chukarandos, on the other hand, digest much more slowly, and without the sounds of other chukarandos around them, it retards their voracious appetite. It also means they require a special diet of prepared [[fefferberry]] mash. It was [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood|the Smallwood family]] who discovered the breeding required to render the Common chukarando mute. Mute chukarandos cannot survive in the wild as they are unable to digest unprocessed food.

==Similar Species==
Common chukarandos are also related to the extraordinarily rare Extraordinarily Rare chukarando and the [[Tuckarando]]. Children may recognize [[Fijjit Mejora]]’s long-time friend [[P'Jubal]] in the best-selling “[[Fijjit Mejora|Fijjit]] and the [[Fefferberry]] Failure” as a [[Tuckarando]].

==Habitat==
Mute chukarandos are completely reliant on domestication. They lack the adaptations to survive in the wild. They are raised primarily in the [[Evesque Valley]]. [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]] is the foremost expert on the breeding and raising of Mute chukarandos alive today.

Common chukarandos live primarily in the [[Andelphracian River Valley]], although smaller bands of Common chukarandos live throughout the [[Evesque Valley]] where they are considered a nuisance animal. Tuckarandos live in the [[Sarfelogian Mountains|Sarfelogian Mountain]] valleys.

==Economic Importance==
Because Mute chukarando guano isn’t completely depleted of luminescence it is therefore a vital component in the manufacture of [[Luminous manuscript]]s. Chukarando flesh has a light flavor that is slightly fruity and is usually prepared with [[fefferberry]] chutney or a light [[Adlorst Vinifera|Adlorst]] sauce. The fur of Mute chukarandos is used in the lining of gloves, shoes and cold-weather gear for its superior thermal qualities. Chukarando teeth are used in the crafting of [[Freege Horn]] keys.

Ghyll:Aminfarances

2005-05-26T15:53:24Z

DrAckroyd: Scholarly Comment

__TOC__

'''Aminfarances''' is said to be the founder (or foundress) of the [[Aminfarances Institute of Science and Technomancy|Institute of Science and Technomancy]] which bears his (or her) name and which shall be here after referred as AIST or simply Institute. This enigmatic figure belongs to the dark past, to the fog-shrouded yesteryear, to the Time before Now; exactly how long before the Now is not quite known and a subject of strenuous debate amongst those that care.

Aminfarances was born to the southwest of the [[Dagger Seas]] (per the ''2’Xzia Parchment'', currently on loan to [[Bute University]], which speaks of a journey northwards to an unknown sea of which the nearest is the Daggers), some time before -400 [[EC]]. This is derived from an analysis of various materials such as the Tradition sung by the AIST which states that the School went underground during the reign of [[King Harandraff the Great]] (circa -400 [[EC]]). The ''Letter to the Stingy Wilh'' is also of benefit as it refers to both Aminfarances as well as a rite of canoralist batting involving a short stocky stick, a jar of honey, and a pre-wed maiden’s bum. Though undated, the superstitious nature of the ritual obviously points to its antiquity.

As to how far before -400 [[EC]], that is inconclusive. The belief of the [[Aminfarances Institute of Science and Technomancy|Institute]], according to its sung saga, brings the birth to sometime in the –8th century [[EC]]. But members of the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]] and the [[Bureau of Recovered Knowledge]] have mutterered that members of the AIST tend to drink too much elhenberry beer while singing songs. Suffice it to say, we just don’t know.

How odd it may also seem that we do not know even the gender of this famed person. Nor do we know the color of his (or her) eyes, the shape of his (or her) head, not even his (or her) favorite color. Some say this is because such details were unimportant in “those days” (as if they knew what the [[splak]] they were talking about!); others say Aminfarances was a neurotic overly worried about a rather large mole on the side of his (or her) left cheek and so forbid anyone to write any descriptor regarding his (or her) person even unto personal pronouns! The AIST venemously reject this as a bunch of undocumented tripe.

==Activity==
As the Tradition is sung, Aminfarances settled in a land ruled by "the Rhrhs." Once settled, he (or she) gathered a group of students – the Institute says ten, the Academy (below) eight. Of this original group, called the ''First'', only one name survives the ages: Qib of Nifhar. Though the location of Nifhar is unknown, the location of the first school may be discerned by the name of the land’s rulers: Rhrhs. Although the language of today's Tradition is obviously [[Modern Standard Ghyllian]], it has been handed down from ''Early Somewhat Irregular Ghyllian'', and before that ''Way Early Inconcise Ghyllian'', and also contains words and phrases that are decidedly non-Ghyllian. Suffice it to say, the "h" in "Rhrhs" is an accepted guttural stop-breath, and some suspect that the "r" labial-shifted over time to become the modern "l". If this is so, the Rhrhs may actually be some unknown natives called the ''Lulus'', but many scholars are coming to believe that this, in fact, is the native name for the people we call today the [[Looliers]].

With the formation of the first school, called an ''Ihk'' in the pre-Modern language of Aitch, Aminfarances also began a most daring venture: a ''Sdhim'' or fund-raising consortium. Never before seen, this consisted of small bands of individuals canvassing the countryside and knocking on doors asking for free money! The traveling was so exhaustive that the money-raisers took to baking cookies for their meals, and some even gave these away as incentive for getting the free money. Alas, some money-raisers (also called money-grabbers) neither baked cookies nor asked, but rather just took what they could from those foolish enough to open their doors at night; some say this is the true origin of the [[Wadjidir]]. The Sdhim came to an end when they were run out of one particularly powerful town by an angry mob.

Aminfarances then relocated with most of his (or her) students. This second location is also unknown, but the membership of the Institute believes it to have been in the Sejfeld area. This second school saw difficulties at the hands of its own: within one generation of the founding of the School of Aminfarances (before being renamed to the Institute), the community was nearly destroyed by an upheaval of differing opinions on such topics as the nature of seeing things rightly, the dilemma of whether a mechanic should serve a mercenary, and the ethereal "what is ''pure'' research?" (as well as some scuffle over limited quantities of liquor). The man at the center was Herve Spe’Lhex (a student brought in by Qib of Nifhar) and when the brewhaha was over, he left and took a full third of the student body. He quickly formed his own school which he called the ''Akadem Aeld Amnifaren'' in honor, so he said, of the "true teachings of Aminfarances". This "Ancient Academy of Aminfarances" (translated to [[Modern Standard Ghyllian]]) lasted until –54 [[EC]]. Aminfarances lived the next decades researching and engineering within the structure of his (or her) own school while the Academy flourished by using Aminfarances’ name to the best of their advantage. The Institute Tradition sings of this with open disdain, but the Academy Tradition sings of quiet approval by Aminfarances. Go figure.

==The Departure==
It was some time after this upheaval that Aminfarances departed. The oral sagas and various written documents use differing words to describe this "departure" and none of them are precise. As members of the Institute do not openly discuss the Departure, we are left with linguistic puzzling and the time-honored MSU method of the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]]. As to what's out there: some say that he (or she) became a demi-god(dess); others that he (or she) died of a bizarre gardening accident; still a few state that he (or she) became one with the Cosmos. Take your pick.

==Significance==
As to why anyone should care about Aminfarances, the proof is in the pudding. Aminfarances founded the (now) [[Aminfarances Institute of Science and Technomancy]], spawned the Ancient Academy of Aminfarances, brought together the two fields of ''observation'' and ''experimentation'' within a framework of organized synthesis and a hierarchy of tenure, and introduced to the world the concept of fundraising (though it did take a number of centuries to catch on). Though the roles of the AIST are not public knowledge, various breakthroughs (and a goodly number of explosions) have also been brought about; it has even been said in some circles that the creation of the [[mechanaut]] is an indirect result of AIST research.

==How and Why==
Most of our knowledge regarding Aminfarances comes mostly from the Tradition of the AIST. This Tradition may most certainly be tainted by prejudices and politics; it may even be (and is!) contradicted by other sources (including the parallel Tradition from the now-defunct Academy), yet it is the Tradition that is being handed down to the Ghyllians of this present age, and who am I to make waves against that!?!

As to the sources at our disposal, we have the A-Source (the Tradition from the AIST), the 3A-Source (the Tradition from the AAA) and the O-Source (materials from Other sources). The A-S has been sung (by their admission) for over seven centuries, while the 3A-S is a parallel Tradition stemming from the ''Akadem Aeld Amnifaren''. O-S is comprised of various parchments, letters and tomes not related to Aminfarances but that refer to him (or her), such as the ''P-26 Letter'' dated to -364 [[EC]] and currently held in the [[Odlucian Library]] or the previously mentioned ''2’Xzia Parchment'' at [[Bute University]].

For the uninitiated, the modern written record is scribed in [[Modern Standard Ghyllian]], a mode of writing in existence since only -90 [[EC]] and made extant since about -65 [[EC]]. The majority of records referring to Aminfarances are in various dialects of ''Early Somewhat Irregular Ghyllian'' and ''Way Early Inconcise Ghyllian'', and various foreign languages such as ''Untch'', ''Olkuull'', ''Aitch'', and ''Khem''. Due to the studies of the [[occultologists]] and the part-time efforts of philanthropists such as [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]], previously uninterpreted parchments and letters have shed some light on our topic.

As a tangent to this linguistic plethora, it should be noted that the name of this enigmatic historical figure, Aminfarances, is also a [[Modern Standard Ghyllian]] transliteration of his (or her) actual name. The common pronunciation is "am-in-far-EN-sis", though the switch-mages of the south speak it "am-IN-far-en-sis". This modern rendering stems from the more ancient ''Aminforenses'' (Early) which seems to be based upon ''Amni’forense'' (Way Early). We also have ''Ahmnih’ Fharen'' (Oktuull) and ''Mnih Fhrns'' (Aitch). Though Aitch looks strange to us, it must be remembered that this dead language is void of all vowels save for "i".

Ghyll:Alezan Script

2005-05-26T15:41:59Z

DrAckroyd:

One of the few remaining traces of the ancient [[Alezanians]] are the few writings they left behind. Though numerous scholars, [[Occultologists]] and researchers have tried through the ages to decipher this strange language, none have been successful to this date. A few scraps of knowledge have been uncovered through diligent research, but the key to the mystery remains lost to us, and many doubt we will ever read the books of this mysterious and forgotten race.

Their alphabet didn't have any vowels, and we can only guess they were implied by the context, which is one of the reasons it is so hard to decipher the language. Written from the bottom right-hand corner and upwards, a special code-line runs from the middle of the left side of the page to the right. This accentuates the contents of the entire page, and is a brief summary of its intent.

The script itself was recorded by etching it into plates of glass-like crystal. By pouring sand on the plates so that it filled the grooves, the text appeared. The only reason some of the plates have survived through the centuries is the fact that the crystal is much more solid than it appears, and can withstand surprisingly harsh treatment before finally shattering. In recent years, the [[theoalchemy|theoalchemist]] [[Harv Gretborn]] managed to replicate the strange material, enabling damaged plates to be copied. The process is extremely expensive, however, so mass-production of '''Alezan Script''' replicas is not possible at this time. Nonetheless, some researchers are quite willing to pay handsomely for copies of the ancient plates, in the vain hope they will be the lucky ones to decipher them at last.

Many have wondered why it was so important to record the script onto plates. Why can't one simply copy them on the standard luminous pages, or an ancient equivalent, we use in our day-to-day business? The answer is simply by design. Six years ago, in -5 [[EC]], the esteemed researcher [[Wilhelmina Corinne Bardway]] revealed that if two or more plates are stacked on top of each other, new patches of text appeared as the different lines and curves joined each other. Simply put, the pages can be superimposed to reveal hidden massages and chapters. Later she also revealed that, in some cases, the crystal itself fractured the light so that some of the letters and circles changed places, thereby changing the entire meaning of the text. Thus, the only way to copy the script as it was originally written is to copy it on the original material, since it can hold far more information than normal paper can record. It has since been revealed that the crystal can perform [[superluminescent radiance storage]], which raises a whole lot of questions beyond the scope of this article.

These new facts reveal quite a lot about the ancient [[Alezanians]]. Firstly, they were well versed in the properties of crystals. Secondly, they were highly intelligent and felt that much of what they wrote had to be kept secret and encoded. Finally, it shows that the [[Alezanians]] were just as fascinated by light and its properties as we are today. Many [[AuroAnthropology| AuroAnthropologists]] find this extremely interesting, and point to it as proof that we have more in common with the ancient race than previously believed. They claim that anyone with so much knowledge couldn't have been all that bad. This doesn't exactly help their reputation, given the feelings towards [[Alezanians]] in the common populace.

It should also be noted that even though [[Hack And The Jacks|Hackleford “Hack” Vermeer]], founder of the [[NeoAlezanians]], claims that they alone have deciphered the scriptures, one should not take his word for it. The [[NeoAlezanians]] blatantly claim their ancient rituals and teachings are genuine and collected from the translated plates, but since there is no proof whatsoever, nor any forthcoming, one cannot seriously consider them. We must only assume that the Alezan Script is as much of a mystery to them as it is to us. Some wish it would stay that way, considering what sort of people the [[Alezanians]] probably were. Who knows what is actually written on those plates...

Ghyll:Boxing Day

2005-05-26T15:16:00Z

DrAckroyd: /* Procedures for Celebrating */ fixing Link

Boxing day is quite possibly the most important Ghyllian holiday, at least in some cultures, and is certainly one of the most wide spread. It traditionally falls on 7/23, and the clean up after it traditionally continues for the next 2 weeks.

==Origins==

It’s roots lie in the day the [[Exis of Whunn]] marched his grand and glorious army to Bute, only to find the gates closed, an unforeseen, and as argued by many great thinkers of his day, unforeseeable event. The Army, completely at a loss of what to do, proceeded to sit down outside the gates and wait for them to open. The inhabitants of Bute, quite a savvy bunch, ignored the [[Exis of Whunn]]’s promise to “Not hurt them to badly,” and held the gates closed. For the rest of the day, the army sat outside the gates, waiting for them to open. The ordinary soldiers, bored, and finding their expectations of slaughter frustrated, did what anyone sensible at that point would do. They got raging drunk. The only casualty of the entire siege, which was to last 6 months, was [[Azer Wallabin]], one of the greatest Musicians of the age, who, when hearing the inevitable singing of the drunken Soldiers, was placed in such an excruciating position that he chose to jump from the walls of Bute. And, in the course of being drunk, a number of soldiers chose to go around dumping out their possessions on the ground, along with anyone else’s they could get their hands on. No one knows what prompted the drunks to do so, but an investigation by the [[Brothers of the Lantern]], uncovered by one of the reporters of the [[True Tales of the World]], indicate divine intervention. Despite the questionable nature of the source, this has entered popular belief. However, no matter how it was inspired, that was how a great holiday entered existence.

Now some may ask, how did all of this lead to a holiday, and unfortunately, this has been lost to the mists of time. What knowledge we have suggests that interested parties, namely breweries and wineries, had a great amount of influence in advancing the holiday to it’s current position.

==Procedures for Celebrating==

Boxing day is celebrated different ways in different places, though there are a few things the always remain constant. One is that half of Celebrants must have imbibed some alcohol, the amount ranging from a Cup of Ale in [[Stindersgrough]], to an entire keg in the immediete vicinity of [[Cadaver, The|The Cadaver]]. This tends to make the whole proceeding make more sense, so at least half of the population knows what is doing, and there is no prohibition against more seeking the enlightenment given by the Cup.

The Second is that everyone get at least 3 Possessions, of some value, though not to much. Fragile items, and consumables are discouraged, for reasons that will be revealed shortly. Where the number comes from is a subject of debate by many scholars. Now depending on the size of the gathering, which ranges from single families to whole towns, the procedure changes. With smaller groups, usually consisting of one or two families at most, everyone just dumps their things in a pile, and then turns around and walks away. With large ones, a box is used to designate the dumping zone, which is then shook vigorously in order to ensure an even distrubution of items. What is important that a large circle is drawn around where ever the items are placed, and all participants take positions on that circle. A ref, usually someone who has chosen not to participate due to his desire to watch the proceedings, will give a signal, varying from location to location, and all of the participants will race toward the pile as fast as they can go. They are then allowed to pick two items and walk with them from the pile. Fighting over items is allowed, and even encouraged in some locations. After everyone has taken their two items, the remaining whole items are donated to whatever charities will take them. Cheating is very deeply frowned upon, though punishments vary. Taking your own items back is also frowned upon, as the entire point is supposedly to represent the idea that giving to the society and getting something entirely different back, and quite possibly holding no value to you or anyone you know, is perfectly alright.

A rather strange tradition that has sprung up in many areas is that certain items must always be in the pile, changing hands in the community. It is regarded as terribly luck for the entire community if the items are not placed in the pile, so they tend to always make a showing, whether the owners are willing to give them up or not. They range from small rings, some valuable, some not, to full sets of [[Freege Horn]]s, a claim on these merely made by holding on to them.

An informal bartering session, where people trade items that they accidentally got, or were forced to take, for things they consider better are also traditional. The Ref presides over the bartering session, though most of the time, he delegates the job to the first person he sees, and goes about wandering the Session, looking for things he wants. He is also in charge of carting all the unclaimed items to Charity, and it isn't unheard of for the Ref to donate anything he see's that he likes to the charity of himself. It is generally viewed that this is the Referee's fee not being able to participate in the festivities, and thus particuraly canny members of the community are known to hold the office of referee for years at a time. Also, a referee's name is often mentioned as a candidate for any political offices that open up after a good boxing day.

==Holiday’s Name==

The source of the name of holiday is conufsing, as different texts have it coming from different places. The one thought of as true by most Ghyllians is that it simply refers to the large box used in the celebration in some locations. A close second is the idea that the name comes from the fighting that occurs of the more treasured items. A popular theory among writers at [[True Tales of the World]], [[Aliens Everywhere]], and various other rags, is that it is a veiled refrence to the [[Avazian Box]], though exactly how this holiday could be related to that dark technology is unknown.

==Extent of the Holiday==

The holiday is celebrated in almost every part of Ghyll our scholars had reached, in some form or another. The Dualian Empire outlawed the Holiday accidentally at one point, and news of the Rebellions reverbrated throughout the known world. According to [[M'Kev D'wal]] it is even celebrated on [[Kebro-shepenor]] by the Kev, though in an entirely different fashion, under an entirely different name, on an entirely different day. That it is celebrated by these isolationist savages makes it clear that this holiday transcends culture, and by some is held to be a gift of the Creator. These people also believe that the writers of [[Aliens Everywhere]] are his prophets

Ghyll talk:Arbuckle Hill

DrAckroyd: Answer

Question: Odgar IV got elected to the post of [[rejah]], and then "established what he referred to ever after as 'The Court of Odgar IV.'" This court is in the Eastern quarter of [[Iganefta]]. How does he get control over the role changing of Arbuckle Hill? Was it just pompous positioning on his part? --[[User:Morbus Iff|Morbus Iff]] 18:49, 23 May 2005 (EDT)

I saw it as he had agents in place that were seeing the effect and manipulating events. But by acting in someone else's backyard he avoided having any backlash agasint his "court". --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]] 22:59, 23 May 2005 (EDT)

==Notes==
Original conceiver of the betrothal march, born circa -300 EC.

''"The alimentary canal is thirty-two feet long. You control only the first [[nanit]] of it. Control it well."'' --'''[[Briorus Jan-Vanderschusen]]'''

In [The [[Opoudelian Starker]]'s] aquatic (or captainly) incarnation he is most often called Vanderdecken or -vecken or -schusen, the last of which is doubtless a folk reminiscence of the famous (and deservedly so) inventor Briorus Jan-Vanderschusen.

The original conceiver of the betrothal march is thought to have been Briorus Jan-Vanderschusen, the noted philosophy and inventor who was thought to be born around -300 EC. As records from this time are hard to decipher, little is known about him.

The grave of the famous Briorus Jan-Vanderschusen was an incredibly large tableau of roughly 1 kunanit by 1 unanit topped with thousands and thousands of objects. Even now, researchers are still puzzled by the significance of this exaggerated volume.

Ghyll:Arbuckle Hill

2005-05-20T13:45:11Z

DrAckroyd: /* Moral Upheaval */ comma excision

'''Arbuckle Hill''' is the home of [[Cadaver, The|The Cadaver]], the notorious public house. In ages past it was the site of Arbuckle Abby, and Reliqary of the [[Creator]]. Prior to that it was believed to be the center of creation itself. The colorful history of Arbuckle Hill is part of what defines the unique character of [[Folktown]].

==The Early Days==
When the [[Creator]] wiped Ghyll from its finger there was a small place where the land was lifted as it adhered to the receding digit. When a town formed at this natural vantage point for surveying the surrounding countryside it was named Folktown. This hill was named Folktown Hill (the early Ghyllians weren't very creative).

The first record of any name similar to ''Arbuckle'' as applied to the Hill was in an ancient map manuscript (tentatively dated circa -700 [[EC]]) that shows Folktown surrounding an ''[[Arbugghyll]] Manor'' positioned roughly where Arbuckle Hill would be. Nothing is known of this [[Arbugghyll]] person other than judging from the size of the dwelling they were both prominent and prosperous.

==Moral Upheaval==
In -266 [[EC]] Odgar IV was elected to be the [[Rejah]] and promptly changed everything he felt needed changing. This included the role of Arbuckle Hill. Over the years, [[Arbugghyll]] manor had evolved into Arbuckle Abby and Reliquary. In its hallowed halls priceless artifacts and recipes of the holy prophets of the [[Creator]] were stored (along with many parts of the prophets and their [[Ancestral burial tableau]]s).

The Order of the Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy (SUCKS) had taken a vow to eliminate the vices of drinking, stimulants, tittilating scripts, smut, dancing and generally fun of any kind. They had considered trying to eliminate procreation, but that proved too difficult a prospect, but nearly everything else was proscribed. Life, as they lived it, was to be spent in constant marvel of the [[Creator]] and the minimum possible effort to maintain existence. It was a very small order.

Odgar IV heard of this order and made plans to incorporate their philosophies into his post as [[Rejah|moral regulator]]. Wisely, he did this through agents and not directly. The barkeeps and restaurateurs of [[Folktown]] staged an uprising in -250 [[EC]] and burned the Abby to the ground, beat the Sisters of SUCKS and forced them to flee. One of the sisters, who tried to save the Reliquary and its priceless contents had her body broken and was left to die on the Hill.

Odgar relaxed his standards for moral order after the incident, reasoning, "If they are going to be that passionate about it, why not let them ruin their lives?" (''[[Songs of Odgar The Fourth]]'' - 'A-Mirthin' We Shall Go'). He did, however, canonize the sister on the Hill as the Martyr Ursula Sandwich of the Hill, even though that wasn't her name.

==The Sign on the Hill==
The first restaurant to stand on Arbuckle Hill had no name. They erected the infamous sign of the Arbuckle Hill Martyr on opening day in -248 [[EC]] as a warning to any high-pants government or religious official who would seek to shut them down. As a result they were burned out of business in less than three years.

A succession of bars, restaurants and speakeasies followed, each succumbing to fire. For over 60 years the cycle continued. Each time, the only remaining landmark of prior establishments was the sign. In the year -88 [[EC]] the [[Cranee Historical Society]] declared the sign a historical landmark. Since that time, the sign has only been changed once. In -22 [[EC]] the original sign was sent to the archives at the [[Odlucian Library]] and a replica was put in its place.

==The [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]]==
In -188 [[EC]] the building known as [[Cadaver, The|The Cadaver]] was built. It was originally a show-hall, bar, restaurant and [[Vlorm|vlorm]] den until it burned in -178 [[EC]]. By that time, the combined income of all of those ventures was significant enough that it was simply re-built and business continued.

Over the intervening years the building has been replaced no less than six times. It has been damaged by fire, explosion, spontaneous Ghyllian combustion, riot, lightning, bindlet balls and barfights. All told, the [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]] probably has more battle damage than the [[Plain of Brahang]].

Common superstition owes the [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]]'s longevity to the sign. Of all of the businesses that have stood on Arbuckle Hill, the [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]] was the only one to ''affix'' the sign to its building. It is speculated that if the sign had survived all those years, then any building attached to it should survive as well. History shall determine if the theory holds true.

I was torn about including more about the Martyr of Arbuckle Hill. There is a passionate speech by [[Odgar IV]] on the occasion of the Martyrdom of Ursula Sandwich of the Hill which I'd like to quote here. It isn't part of this entry but I found it so moving I couldn't ignore it, even though it was later excised from the entry. I felt that in the notes was appropriate for this material:

'''From the Speech on Baros 14, -250 [[EC]] by Odgar IV'''
<blockquote>Fellow Ghyllians, I invite you today to remember this woman who gave her life in the preservation of tradition. When you find the hidden treasure under your nest that you thought you had lost, remember this woman. When you discover the lost utensil that has fallen in the back of a cabinet, remember this woman. When you discover your grandmother has some fondly recalled trinket in her attic, remember this woman. This woman was killed for trying to preserve history, morals, and life. <br>
<br>
Her body, broken, bashed, beaten and mutilated until the remains couldn't be rescued or identified has been lost. The treasures she defended - priceless relics of forgotten prophets who will forever remain lost and forgotten - are reduced to ash. I can only hope that the decadent heathens who would stoop to such act are forever punished for their hubris at deciding her fate.<br>
<br>
I thereby declare that this nameless Sister of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy is now to be remembered as Martyr Ursula Sandwich of the Hill. Forever let it be known that the Sister of SUCKS has been beaten into MUSH.</blockquote>

Anyone not moved by that is dead inside. --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]] 13:37, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

A true scholar would have noted that the "Early Days" are mere mythology as the so-called [[Creator]] has no proof of existance and only Ghyllian word of mouth supports this "historical" recollection. Ghyllian scholars should refrain from imparting religious bias into their scholary texts. --[[User:Lisa B. Underhalh|Lisa B. Underhalh]] 14:13, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

I leave the truth of such statements to be determined by the individual. I mearly relayed the legend as it is spoken with revernt tones. Should you find a theoarcheologist who refutes it and cite ''his'' work, then I'll be more inclined to accept the legend as mythology and not fact. --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]] 19:52, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

I side with the esteemed Dr. Ackroyd on this one. The Scholars must be free to include the religous aspect when unavoidable. As all the inhabitants of Folktown believe in this, it is impossible for complete dialog on the subject without the inclusion. All Religous facts must be taken with a grain of salt. Besides, any Theoarcheologist who disagreed with the legend would be laughed out of the room.--[[User:Kalen Firth|Kalen Firth]] 22:29, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

Ghyll:Encyclopedant Calendar

2005-05-20T13:39:46Z

DrAckroyd: /* Ghyll Timeline */ Arbuckle Hill Entries

To nurture the creation of a Ghyll Encyclopedia that will be of use to all of Ghyll's citizens, the Encyclopedants--key editors, and instigators of the encyclopaedic effort--are taking certain measures to ensure that some regional variations are ''normalised'' to canonical systems. One of the regional variations that the Encyclopedants have felt it foremost necessary to address is that of dates and times.

What this means to scholars is that when you submit entries that contain dates and times in a regional system, you will be asked (if we can get a message back to you) to provide them instead in the Encylopedant Calendar. It is the aim of this notice to define that calendar, and provide you with tips on the conversion. Should it be impossible for you to be contacted, the Encyclopedants will take up the changes themselves, attempting to provide normalisations where possible, and omitting dates otherwise.

==The Encyclopedant Calendar==
<div style="background-color:#eee;border:1px solid #ccc;float:right;margin:1em;padding:0.5em;width:275px;"><strong>EC Linking Shortcut</strong>: When using EC dates in your entries, always use the special <nowiki>[[EC]]</nowiki> syntax to link back to this page. For example, typing "<nowiki>-20 [[EC]]</nowiki>'" will produce the proper text, as well as an automatic link back to this explanation and timeline (below).</div>

The Encyclopedant Calendar (EC) is based on years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. There are sixty seconds to a minute, sixty minutes to an hour, twenty-four hours to a day, seven days to a week, four weeks to a month, and a dozen months to a year. Hence there are three hundred and thirty six days in a year, as corresponds with a full rotation of our seasons.

The epoch for the Encyclopedant Calendar, i.e. 0 EC, is based on the date that the call for entries was first set forth over the fair lands of Ghyll. Hence, the first year of the creation of the Ghyll Encyclopedia will take place throughout 0 EC. Since scholars will generally be mentioning dates only when they have occured before the creation of the dictionary, it is expected that dates prior to 0 EC will be most heavily represented in entries: the syntax for doing so is to use a negative number for the amount of years. Note that -1 EC is the year before the creation of the Ghyll Encyclopaedia. It is expected that the first round of definitions for the twenty six letters of the alphabet will take one EC year to complete, and hence the next time we call for definitions of words beginning with "A" is predicted to occur at the start of 1 EC.

To identify a Ghyll month, use the year followed by a slash followed by the number of the month. Likewise, for a day, use the year followed by a slash followed by the number of the month followed by another slash followed by the day. ''Example: the fifth day of the seventh month of -20 EC would be written as -20/7/5 EC.'' For the names of individual months and days, consult the [[Bursine Calendar]] (on which the EC is based).

==Ghyll Timeline==
In order to aid scholars' abilities to convert their regional dates into EC, the Encyclopedants have taken it upon themselves to research the dates for the events described in the first set of entires received for the letter "A". It has been a painstaking and laborious process, but it should enable scholars to more easily research the EC date for events that they describe. The timeline is as follows:

<table class="ghyllidx" style="padding-left:1em;">

From the first set of entries received for the Encyclopaedia, it is clear that many dates are stated indirectly using Folktown Records edition numbers. Since the Folktown Records has only been running since -13 EC, this only works for recent events, but those are the events most relevant to the inhabitants of Ghyll today, and the Folktown Records are common and popular enough that we can expect more excerpts from them in entries to come.

Ghyll:Arbuckle Hill

2005-05-20T13:30:11Z

DrAckroyd: /* Moral Upheaval */ which Calendar?

'''Arbuckle Hill''' is the home of [[Cadaver, The|The Cadaver]], the notorious public house. In ages past it was the site of Arbuckle Abby, and Reliqary of the [[Creator]]. Prior to that it was believed to be the center of creation itself. The colorful history of Arbuckle Hill is part of what defines the unique character of [[Folktown]].

==The Early Days==
When the [[Creator]] wiped Ghyll from its finger there was a small place where the land was lifted as it adhered to the receding digit. When a town formed at this natural vantage point for surveying the surrounding countryside it was named Folktown. This hill was named Folktown Hill (the early Ghyllians weren't very creative).

The first record of any name similar to ''Arbuckle'' as applied to the Hill was in an ancient map manuscript (tentatively dated circa -700 [[EC]]) that shows Folktown surrounding an ''[[Arbugghyll]] Manor'' positioned roughly where Arbuckle Hill would be. Nothing is known of this [[Arbugghyll]] person other than judging from the size of the dwelling they were both prominent and prosperous.

==Moral Upheaval==
In -266 [[EC]] Odgar IV was elected to be the [[Rejah]] and promptly changed everything he felt needed changing. This included the role of Arbuckle Hill. Over the years, [[Arbugghyll]] manor had evolved into Arbuckle Abby and Reliquary. In its hallowed halls priceless artifacts and recipes of the holy prophets of the [[Creator]] were stored (along with many parts of the prophets and their [[Ancestral burial tableau]]s).

The Order of the Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy (SUCKS) had taken a vow to eliminate the vices of drinking, stimulants, tittilating scripts, smut, dancing and generally fun of any kind. They had considered trying to eliminate procreation, but that proved too difficult a prospect, but nearly everything else was proscribed. Life, as they lived it, was to be spent in constant marvel of the [[Creator]] and the minimum possible effort to maintain existence. It was a very small order.

Odgar IV heard of this order and made plans to incorporate their philosophies into his post as [[Rejah|moral regulator]]. Wisely, he did this through agents and not directly. The barkeeps and restaurateurs of [[Folktown]] staged an uprising in -250 [[EC]] and burned the Abby to the ground, beat the Sisters of SUCKS and forced them to flee. One of the sisters, who tried to save the Reliquary and its priceless contents, had her body broken and was left to die on the Hill.

Odgar relaxed his standards for moral order after the incident, reasoning, "If they are going to be that passionate about it, why not let them ruin their lives?" (''[[Songs of Odgar The Fourth]]'' - 'A-Mirthin' We Shall Go'). He did, however, canonize the sister on the Hill as the Martyr Ursula Sandwich of the Hill, even though that wasn't her name.

==The Sign on the Hill==
The first restaurant to stand on Arbuckle Hill had no name. They erected the infamous sign of the Arbuckle Hill Martyr on opening day in -248 [[EC]] as a warning to any high-pants government or religious official who would seek to shut them down. As a result they were burned out of business in less than three years.

A succession of bars, restaurants and speakeasies followed, each succumbing to fire. For over 60 years the cycle continued. Each time, the only remaining landmark of prior establishments was the sign. In the year -88 [[EC]] the [[Cranee Historical Society]] declared the sign a historical landmark. Since that time, the sign has only been changed once. In -22 [[EC]] the original sign was sent to the archives at the [[Odlucian Library]] and a replica was put in its place.

==The [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]]==
In -188 [[EC]] the building known as [[Cadaver, The|The Cadaver]] was built. It was originally a show-hall, bar, restaurant and [[Vlorm|vlorm]] den until it burned in -178 [[EC]]. By that time, the combined income of all of those ventures was significant enough that it was simply re-built and business continued.

Over the intervening years the building has been replaced no less than six times. It has been damaged by fire, explosion, spontaneous Ghyllian combustion, riot, lightning, bindlet balls and barfights. All told, the [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]] probably has more battle damage than the [[Plain of Brahang]].

Common superstition owes the [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]]'s longevity to the sign. Of all of the businesses that have stood on Arbuckle Hill, the [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]] was the only one to ''affix'' the sign to its building. It is speculated that if the sign had survived all those years, then any building attached to it should survive as well. History shall determine if the theory holds true.

'''Citations''': [[Creator]], [[Arbugghyll]], [[Cadaver, The]]

[[Category:Locations]]

----

I was torn about including more about the Martyr of Arbuckle Hill. There is a passionate speech by [[Odgar IV]] on the occasion of the Martyrdom of Ursula Sandwich of the Hill which I'd like to quote here. It isn't part of this entry but I found it so moving I couldn't ignore it, even though it was later excised from the entry. I felt that in the notes was appropriate for this material:

'''From the Speech on Baros 14, -250 [[EC]] by Odgar IV'''
<blockquote>Fellow Ghyllians, I invite you today to remember this woman who gave her life in the preservation of tradition. When you find the hidden treasure under your nest that you thought you had lost, remember this woman. When you discover the lost utensil that has fallen in the back of a cabinet, remember this woman. When you discover your grandmother has some fondly recalled trinket in her attic, remember this woman. This woman was killed for trying to preserve history, morals, and life. <br>
<br>
Her body, broken, bashed, beaten and mutilated until the remains couldn't be rescued or identified has been lost. The treasures she defended - priceless relics of forgotten prophets who will forever remain lost and forgotten - are reduced to ash. I can only hope that the decadent heathens who would stoop to such act are forever punished for their hubris at deciding her fate.<br>
<br>
I thereby declare that this nameless Sister of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy is now to be remembered as Martyr Ursula Sandwich of the Hill. Forever let it be known that the Sister of SUCKS has been beaten into MUSH.</blockquote>

Anyone not moved by that is dead inside. --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]] 13:37, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

A true scholar would have noted that the "Early Days" are mere mythology as the so-called [[Creator]] has no proof of existance and only Ghyllian word of mouth supports this "historical" recollection. Ghyllian scholars should refrain from imparting religious bias into their scholary texts. --[[User:Lisa B. Underhalh|Lisa B. Underhalh]] 14:13, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

I leave the truth of such statements to be determined by the individual. I mearly relayed the legend as it is spoken with revernt tones. Should you find a theoarcheologist who refutes it and cite ''his'' work, then I'll be more inclined to accept the legend as mythology and not fact. --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]] 19:52, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

I side with the esteemed Dr. Ackroyd on this one. The Scholars must be free to include the religous aspect when unavoidable. As all the inhabitants of Folktown believe in this, it is impossible for complete dialog on the subject without the inclusion. All Religous facts must be taken with a grain of salt. Besides, any Theoarcheologist who disagreed with the legend would be laughed out of the room.--[[User:Kalen Firth|Kalen Firth]] 22:29, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

Ghyll:Arbuckle Hill

Of all of the businesses that have stood on Arbuckle Hill, the [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]] was the only one to ''affix'' the sign to its building. It is speculated that if the sign had survived all those years, then any building attached to it should survive as well. History shall determine if the theory holds true.

I was torn about including more about the Martyr of Arbuckle Hill. There is a passionate speech by [[Odgar IV]] on the occasion of the Martyrdom of Ursula Sandwich of the Hill which I'd like to quote here. It isn't part of this entry but I found it so moving I couldn't ignore it, even though it was later excised from the entry. I felt that in the notes was appropriate for this material:

'''From the Speech on Baros 14, -250 [[EC]] by Odgar IV'''
<blockquote>Fellow Ghyllians, I invite you today to remember this woman who gave her life in the preservation of tradition. When you find the hidden treasure under your nest that you thought you had lost, remember this woman. When you discover the lost utensil that has fallen in the back of a cabinet, remember this woman. When you discover your grandmother has some fondly recalled trinket in her attic, remember this woman. This woman was killed for trying to preserve history, morals, and life. <br>
<br>
Her body, broken, bashed, beaten and mutilated until the remains couldn't be rescued or identified has been lost. The treasures she defended - priceless relics of forgotten prophets who will forever remain lost and forgotten - are reduced to ash. I can only hope that the decadent heathens who would stoop to such act are forever punished for their hubris at deciding her fate.<br>
<br>
I thereby declare that this nameless Sister of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy is now to be remembered as Martyr Ursula Sandwich of the Hill. Forever let it be known that the Sister of SUCKS has been beaten into MUSH.</blockquote>

Anyone not moved by that is dead inside. --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]] 13:37, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

A true scholar would have noted that the "Early Days" are mere mythology as the so-called [[Creator]] has no proof of existance and only Ghyllian word of mouth supports this "historical" recollection. Ghyllian scholars should refrain from imparting religious bias into their scholary texts. --[[User:Lisa B. Underhalh|Lisa B. Underhalh]] 14:13, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

I leave the truth of such statements to be determined by the individual. I mearly relayed the legend as it is spoken with revernt tones. Should you find a theoarcheologist who refutes it and cite ''his'' work, then I'll be more inclined to accept the legend as mythology and not fact. --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]] 19:52, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

I side with the esteemed Dr. Ackroyd on this one. The Scholars must be free to include the religous aspect when unavoidable. As all the inhabitants of Folktown believe in this, it is impossible for complete dialog on the subject without the inclusion. All Religous facts must be taken with a grain of salt. Besides, any Theoarcheologist who disagreed with the legend would be laughed out of the room.--[[User:Kalen Firth|Kalen Firth]] 22:29, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

Ghyll:Ancestral burial tableau

2005-05-20T13:23:36Z

DrAckroyd: /* The significance of Ancestral burial tableaus */ missed another

The ancient Ghyllians had a special fixation with furniture; it permeated all phacets of their lifes. They bought and built furniture commemorating all and any ocasions, the passing of a loved one, the moving into a new house, etc. Even after death, furniture was present. By -300 [[EC]], entire graves were filled to the top with dining rooms, bedrooms and living rooms, lefting little room for the burial for the bodies of Ghyllians themselves. This, however, stopped approximately in -295 [[EC]], as the rare wood found in the [[Cactus forests]] named [[Tablankel]], became very scarce, due to overusage of chairs in burials. This forced the Ghyllians to develop a more minimalist approach. They finally came up with the Ancestral burial tableu. This, however, did not last long, as the [[Tablankel]] finally became extinct in -265 [[EC]], and the Ghyllians, having forgotten about their furniture fixation, abondoned the including of any furniture in their graves.

==Components of an Ancient burial tableau==

As with any piece of furniture, an Ancient burial tableau can be made in any shape, and with any style. However, there are three main components found, in all of them:

'''The legs''': These usually represent the overall view of the family and Society, of the buried Ghyllian. Proving that Ghyllians have no idealistic views of dead people, the legs of particullary evil and deranged characters are twisted, painted with dark colours and filled with accounts of their unspeakable horrours. The tableaus of good, benefitial characters to Society, have simple and elegant legs, painted with a single even coat of a bright colour.

'''The body''': This is how the buried Ghyllian viewed her/himself. Often in the past, plans for this part of the tableau were made years ahead, the Ghyllian fearing the idea of his/her family not knowing how he viewed himself. This component was usually self-gratifing; most of the tableaus that have been found are in the same style: a golden edge in an elaborate pattern (a sign of a good life), the [[Tablankel]] wood polished to a bright green (a sign of good health), and in the sahape of a geometrical figure. However, strange bodies have been found, most of them, credited to deranged or eccentric Ghyllians, who had a more honest view about themselves.

'''The objects''': On top of the tableu, objects were placed, each object representing a different passion or hobby of the deceased Ghyllian. The decision of what objects to place on the tableau, falled between the family and the Ghyllian itself. Most of the tableaus that have been found over the years, have at the most, three or four objects. However, when the grave of the famous Speedish Chef [[Briorus Jan-Vanderschusen]] was found, the discoverers were surprised by the sight an incredibly large tableau of about 1 [[Chesix System Of Measures|kunanit]] large by 1 [[Chesix System Of Measures|unanit]] wide, filled with thousands and thousands of objects. Even now, researchers are still puzzled by the significance of this exaggerated volume of objects.

==The significance of Ancestral burial tableaus==

Most researchers of this subject, have not been able to unearth why did the Ghyllian fixation with furniture began, or why would Ghyllians include it in their graves, but they do agree on one thing: the tableaus allow us to have a more complete view of the recent past in Ghyll, and how the Ghyllians lived.

Ghyll:Arbuckle Hill

2005-05-19T23:52:40Z

DrAckroyd: Reiterated comment. and replied.

'''Arbuckle Hill''' is the home of [[Cadaver, The|The Cadaver]], the notorious public house. In ages past it was the site of Arbuckle Abby, and Reliqary of the [[Creator]]. Prior to that it was believed to be the center of creation itself. The colorful history of Arbuckle Hill is part of what defines the unique character of [[Folktown]].

==The Early Days==
When the [[Creator]] wiped Ghyll from its finger there was a small place where the land was lifted as it adhered to the receding digit. When a town formed at this natural vantage point for surveying the surrounding countryside it was named Folktown. This hill was named Folktown Hill (the early Ghyllians weren't very creative).

The first record of any name similar to ''Arbuckle'' as applied to the Hill was in an ancient map manuscript (tentatively dated circa -700 [[EC]]) that shows Folktown surrounding an ''[[Arbugghyll]] Manor'' positioned roughly where Arbuckle Hill would be. Nothing is known of this [[Arbugghyll]] person other than judging from the size of the dwelling they were both prominent and prosperous.

==Moral Upheaval==
In -266 [[EC]] Odgar IV was elected to be the [[Rejah]] and promptly changed everything he felt needed changing. This included the role of Arbuckle Hill. Over the years, [[Arbugghyll]] manor had evolved into Arbuckle Abby and Reliquary. In its hallowed halls priceless artifacts and recipes of the holy prophets of the [[Creator]] were stored (along with many parts of the prophets and their [[Ancestral burial tableau]]s).

The Order of the Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy (SUCKS) had taken a vow to eliminate the vices of drinking, stimulants, tittilating scripts, smut, dancing and generally fun of any kind. They had considered trying to eliminate procreation, but that proved too difficult a prospect, but nearly everything else was proscribed. Life, as they lived it, was to be spent in constant marvel of the [[Creator]] and the minimum possible effort to maintain existence. It was a very small order.

Odgar IV heard of this order and made plans to incorporate their philosophies into his post as [[Rejah|moral regulator]]. Wisely, he did this through agents and not directly. The barkeeps and restaurateurs of [[Folktown]] staged an uprising in -250 and burned the Abby to the ground, beat the Sisters of SUCKS and forced them to flee. One of the sisters, who tried to save the Reliquary and its priceless contents, had her body broken and was left to die on the Hill.

Odgar relaxed his standards for moral order after the incident, reasoning, "If they are going to be that passionate about it, why not let them ruin their lives?" (''[[Songs of Odgar The Fourth]]'' - 'A-Mirthin' We Shall Go'). He did, however, canonize the sister on the Hill as the Martyr Ursula Sandwich of the Hill, even though that wasn't her name.

==The Sign on the Hill==
The first restaurant to stand on Arbuckle Hill had no name. They erected the infamous sign of the Arbuckle Hill Martyr on opening day in -248 [[EC]] as a warning to any high-pants government or religious official who would seek to shut them down. As a result they were burned out of business in less than three years.

A succession of bars, restaurants and speakeasies followed, each succumbing to fire. For over 150 years the cycle continued. Each time, the only remaining landmark of prior establishments was the sign. In the year -88 [[EC]] the [[Cranee Historical Society]] declared the sign a historical landmark. Since that time, the sign has only been changed once. In -22 [[EC]] the original sign was sent to the archives at the [[Odlucian Library]] and a replica was put in its place.

==The [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]]==
In -188 [[EC]] the building known as [[Cadaver, The|The Cadaver]] was built. It was originally a show-hall, bar, restaurant and [[Vlorm|vlorm]] den until it burned in -178 [[EC]]. By that time, the combined income of all of those ventures was significant enough that it was simply re-built and business continued.

Over the intervening years the building has been replaced no less than six times. It has been damaged by fire, explosion, spontaneous Ghyllian combustion, riot, lightning, bindlet balls and barfights. All told, the [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]] probably has more battle damage than the [[Plain of Brahang]].

Common superstition owes the [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]]'s longevity to the sign. Of all of the businesses that have stood on Arbuckle Hill, the [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]] was the only one to ''affix'' the sign to its building. It is speculated that if the sign had survived all those years, then any building attached to it should survive as well. History shall determine if the theory holds true.

I was torn about including more about the Martyr of Arbuckle Hill. There is a passionate speech by [[Odgar IV]] on the occasion of the Martyrdom of Ursula Sandwich of the Hill which I'd like to quote here. It isn't part of this entry but I found it so moving I couldn't ignore it, even though it was later excised from the entry. I felt that in the notes was appropriate for this material:

'''From the Speech on Baros 14, -250 [[EC]] by Odgar IV'''
<blockquote>Fellow Ghyllians, I invite you today to remember this woman who gave her life in the preservation of tradition. When you find the hidden treasure under your nest that you thought you had lost, remember this woman. When you discover the lost utensil that has fallen in the back of a cabinet, remember this woman. When you discover your grandmother has some fondly recalled trinket in her attic, remember this woman. This woman was killed for trying to preserve history, morals, and life. <br>
<br>
Her body, broken, bashed, beaten and mutilated until the remains couldn't be rescued or identified has been lost. The treasures she defended - priceless relics of forgotten prophets who will forever remain lost and forgotten - are reduced to ash. I can only hope that the decadent heathens who would stoop to such act are forever punished for their hubris at deciding her fate.<br>
<br>
I thereby declare that this nameless Sister of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy is now to be remembered as Martyr Ursula Sandwich of the Hill. Forever let it be known that the Sister of SUCKS has been beaten into MUSH.</blockquote>

Anyone not moved by that is dead inside. --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L. Ackroyd]] 13:37, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

A true scholar would have noted that the "Early Days" are mere mythology as the so-called [[Creator]] has no proof of existance and only Ghyllian word of mouth supports this "historical" recollection. Ghyllian scholars should refrain from imparting religious bias into their scholary texts. --[[User:Lisa B. Underhalh|Lisa B. Underhalh]] 14:13, 19 May 2005 (EDT)

I leave the truth of such statements to be determined by the individual. I mearly relayed the legend as it is spoken with revernt tones. Should you find a theoarcheologist who refutes it and cite ''his'' work, then I'll be more inclined to accept the legend as mythology and not fact. --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H. L.
