:''... an amazing collaborative improvisational fiction that combines an intoxicating patchouli whiff of fantasy with the reckless driving tanginess of bebop...'' --[http://lbr.library-blogs.net/read/1212697.htm lbr]

Welcome to the world of [[Ghyll]]. The basic idea is that each player takes on the role of a scholar, from before scholarly pursuits became professionalized (or possibly after they ceased to be). You are cranky, opinionated, prejudiced, and eccentric. You are also collaborating with a number of your peers -- the other players -- on the construction of an encyclopedia about Ghyll. Despite the fact that your peers are self-important, narrow-minded dunderheads, they are honest scholars. No matter how strained their interpretations are, their facts are as accurate as historical research can make them. So if you cite an entry, you have to treat its factual content as true! (Though you can argue vociferously with the interpretation and introduce new facts that shade the interpretation.)

==Game Rules==

New players may join in at any time. If you have questions, [[Lexicon discussion|check the FAQ or ask here]].
<br />The core of the game is based on [http://www.20by20room.com/2003/11/lexicon_an_rpg.html Neel Krishnaswami's "Lexicon: an RPG"].

# Scholars shall ''dib'' (reserve), and then write, one entry per turn. Turns loop from A to Z back to A.
# Entries shall cite two ''phantom'' (unwritten) entries and, after the first turn, one existing entry.
# Scholars shall neither cite themselves, nor write phantoms they were the first to cite.
# After the first turn, all phantoms for a letter shall be written before new entries are created.
# Of your required two phantom citations, only one cited phantom can be newly defined.
# The required per-turn citations must not be to entries or phantoms created in the current turn.
# Rule of A: During turn A, scholars may write new A entries instead of defining an existing A phantom.
# Rule of X: If no turn X phantoms remain, you may write a previous letter's phantom instead.

===Example of Play (first turn)===

# On the first turn, [[User:Sbp|Sean B. Palmer]] defines his one entry for the letter A: [[Andelphracian Lights]] (Rule 1).
# In [[Andelphracian Lights]], he creates two phantoms: [[Bysted Timperton]] and [[Quester and Phorrus]] (Rule 2).
# [[User:Sbp|Sean B. Palmer]] may never define [[Bysted Timperton]] and [[Quester and Phorrus]] now. (Rule 3).
# On the next turn, all phantoms for the letter B (like [[Bysted Timperton]]) must be defined (Rule 4).

===Example of Play (all other turns)===

# It's turn 2, letter B, and scholars must first define all phantoms starting with that letter (Rule 4).
# [[User:Sbp|Sean B. Palmer]] wants the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]] and commits an edit saying so (Rule 1).
# He checks "What links here" on the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]] page to see what truths, if any, are known.
# He also searches for the expression/term in the "search" box to find any unlinked mention of his entry.
# He writes the entry, and cites two phantoms (existing or not) and one previously written entry. (Rule 2).
# His citations, however, must not be those he's previously created (Rule 3; see [[Ghyll Index]] and [[Frequently Asked Questions|FAQ]]).
# His citations must also have been created or defined before the current turn of play. (Rule 5).

==How To Participate==
<div style="background-color:#eee;border:1px solid #ccc;float:right;margin:1em;padding:0.5em;width:275px;">You can "go above and beyond" your entries by also updating the [[Ghyll Index]], [[Encyclopedant Calendar|Ghyll Timeline]], [[WhoIsWho|Ghyll Who's Who]], and [[WhereIsWhere|Ghyll Where's Where]] based on your turn. If you don't, no worries - it'll get done eventually.</div>

First, read everything you can! Then [[Special:Userlogin|create an account and log in]]. Defining a new entry is as simple as going to its URL or clicking any red links (''phantoms''). For example, to create "Crab apples", go to http://gamegrene.com/wiki/Crab_apples, click "edit", and begin typing. More information (creating headers, links, bold, italic, etc.) can be found at [[Wikipedia:Help:Editing]].

In-game discussion about terms should occur at the bottom of each entry. Out-of-game comments should appear on the entry's "discussion" page. Be warned: other scholars may take heated issue with your comments! For an example, see [[AuroAnthropology]] and [[Talk:AuroAnthropology]].

Finally, consider writing a brief intro about your scholar (ex. [[User:MorbusIff|Morbus Iff]] and [[User:Sbp|Sean B. Palmer]]). This is NOT a "turn" - this is just you fleshing out your character, much like you'd do before a new tabletop campaign. You should not reference phantom links in your scholar description - just blurb a bio, and if entries happen to be defined later during play (by yourself or someone else), you can retroactively apply links. You may also want to consider adding your scholar to [[Gerth]] page as well.

Ghyll:Folktown

2005-07-06T23:02:06Z

Joe Bowers: typo

__TOC__

In only a bit more than 200 years, the once tiny hamlet of '''Folktown''' has emerged a center for industry, culture, and thought, or possibly a center for business, the arts, and scholarship, or at least a powerful source of pollution, pretension, and some of the finest grant writing since [[Aminfarances]].

==A Gloss of the History of Folktown==

Due to the large number of patrons of scholarship who reside in Folktown, the history of the community has been the subject of extremely thorough research. The following gloss is by necessity very brief and as a result somewhat superficial. Where appropriate, the author has taken pains to refer the reader to more exhaustive and authoritative sources.

===Prehistory and the X Documents===

[[Image:Folktown-X-document.jpg|frame|right|X Document 103, reproduced from the collection of [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]], with scholar's annotations.]]

Archeological evidence suggests that small communities of agricultural and toolmaking peoples were settled on and around around [[Arbuckle Hill]] as early as -1100 [[EC]]. The earliest documentary evidence of this culture are the puzzling "X Documents." More than two hundred of these documents are known to still be in existence.

Nearby is a copy of the decorative cover of X Document 103, currently in the private collection of [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]]. (The numerals, in red, are annotations by this scholar.) Like all of the known X Documents, it is painted in remarkably permanent vegetable pigments on carapace-leather, with distinctive orange and purple blocks and common text elements. The texts of (1) and (2) are the same for all known X Documents. The text of (2), with its character-forms that prefigure the modern Folktown common script, has been translated by Herbertoid as "this Joy, it is activity which prepares for harvest" in ''Everything We Know about the Folktown X Documents'' or as "We are amused, we are intent" by Herbertron in ''Herbertoid Knows Nothing about the Folktown X Documents''. The text of (1) is apparently phonetic, in a script that has yet to be convincingly identified or translated.

The text of (3) is written in what appears to be a degenerate form of classical N-ary, with only a single dimension of meaning. The numeral part varies from document to document, but the remainder of the text is always the same. The text of Document 103 reads "Five are out of balance" or "Five are foolish", followed by the imperative "Find them".

Unlike the exteriors, the interior of the X Documents were likely painted or written on wood-pulp paper, and no traces of their contents survive today. The most remarkable conclusion that can be drawn from these documents is founded on the fact that the dyes used are almost certainly manufactured from local agricultural products. This, together with the large number of surviving documents and the sites of their discovery, leads scholars to believe the peoples of the region were shockingly literate - it is likely that the surviving number of these documents is close to or exceeds the population of the region at any point before -800 [[EC]]!

===Early History of the Region===

Our knowledge of the classical history of the area begins with the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbugghyll Map]], from circa -700 [[EC]], which depicts a very small community of serfs living surrounding a manor farm. The next mention of the town, circa -640 [[EC]], is one of the rare documents that survived the [[King Harandraff the Great|purge of Harandraff]] (and probably originated in the [[Proto-Harandraff Orthonormal Basis Set]] {τ , ρ, φ}), the reign of the "disunited king" known to modern scholars as Proto-Harandraff ((-730 [[EC]], -600 [[EC]]), 9ρ, 0). The document contains the charter for a "Free Town", the only one of its kind known to modern scholars. [[Blivingdel|Blivingdel's]] translation of the preamblatory first degree of the charter (in ''Blivingdel's History of Folktown and Its Folks'') reads simply:

<blockquote>You Wanted it? You Got It.
<br />The fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk
<br />Don't Come Crying to me when it all blows up in your face.
<br />We and our officers wash our hands of you
<br />The city is now called
<br />By royal authority
<br />     Chump Town
<br />(ideogrammatic seal attributed to P-H ((-730 [[EC]], -600 [[EC]]), 9ρ, 0)).</blockquote>

Although the charter (as was customary at the time) also contains secondary and tertiary structures, the secondary content is apparently a long definition of the word (rather politely) translated by residents as "Chump", and the tertiary content seems to be an explicit description of rather implausible [[Ghyllian reproduction|mating habits]], attributed variously to "The City", "The People", and "[[Arbugghyll|The Lord of the People, Ar Bugh]]". What prompted the issue of the charter is still a subject of much debate amongst historians.

===The Folktown Court===

(This section relies extensively on Burbleson's ''Early Folktown Court Documents in Translation, -639 [[EC]] and Early -638 [[EC]]'' Volumes I through CVI.) The issue of the royal charter for the town was followed immediately by a declaration, at town meeting, establishing "A court of common folks to provide for the common order, 'cause who needs that King character, anyway" (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 4). The first act of the judges named in the declaration was the drafting of the original court charter (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 6 through Vol VI, Pg 2044).

The papers and records of the initial Folktown court are an oasis of plenty in an otherwise parched historical landscape. An anonymous copyist of one of the [[Odlucian Library]]'s original editions of ''Harandraff, the Greatest Guy Ever!'' editorializes that perhaps when confronted by the quantity of documentation an enormously verbose judiciary had produced after one hundred and fifty years of operation, [[King Harandraff the Great|Harandraff's]] inquisitors for historical purity chose to forget it existed rather than spend the years that would be required to burn it all. (It is notable that the page containing this commentary in the margins is the last page copied in that particular handwriting.) The picture these records paint of Folktown from the time of the charter through the great civil war is detailed and rich, but unfortunately rather narrow.

One of the first cases approached by the court, and one that sheds some light on both the depth and the limits of these documents is the case of "Baby Alek", investigated in detail by Herringer in his ''Mick's Executioner: Origins of the Folktown Executioner's Festival''. The case involves a pair of families, the Hambeck and Harblock clans, both claiming parentage of the same infant. The case was initially presented to the court in -639 [[EC]]. Testimony lasted for four days. The court then considered the case for a full year before reaching the preliminary verdict that the child should be cut in half and one half should be distributed to each party of claim. A chronology of the remainder of the court's activities with respect to the case follows:

* '''-638 [[EC]]''': Court deliberates which half should go to whom, debates the measurement of one-half an infant.
* '''-636 [[EC]]''': Court issues preliminary table of legal infant metrics.
* '''-636 [[EC]] (late)''': Legal infant metric table rejected.
* '''-632 [[EC]]''': Court issues preliminary executive order deciding that the infant should be dissolved into paste with powerful alchemical reagents and distributed by volume.
* '''-630 [[EC]]''': Court issues charter for "The Institute for Reactive Chemistry in Pursuit of Civil Justice" (IRCPCJ) "established for the research and development of a reagent appropriate to the flesh and exoskeleton of children ''without undue suffering on the part of the subject.''"
* '''-628 [[EC]]''': IRCPCJ bake sales spun off into "The Institute for the Fabrication of Delicious Treats in Pursuit of Civic Justice and Alchemical Research" (IFDTPCJAR) and ladies' auxiliary.
* '''-613 [[EC]]''': Court records receiving seven clay jars, each containing seven [[wurp]] of "ouchless child solvent" from the IRCPCJ. Records also state that the IRCPCJ is receiving sufficient support from the IFDTPCJAR to continue its research independently.
* '''-604 [[EC]]''': Court issues preliminary decision covering claimant liability for residual solvent in the liquid portions of the infant received, measured by the difference between one-half the weight of the child and the weight of the received portion, minus the weight of the jars used for the purpose of distribution, assessed at the fair market value of "the actual or a similar reagent used to disolve children to paste." Court charters "The Institute for Mercantile Research in Pursuit of Civil Justice" (IMRPCJ) to determine this value.
* '''-599 [[EC]]''': IMRPCJ issues request to the court for the definition of "A standard and negotiable measure of value" in order to complete its report.
* '''-598 [[EC]]''': Court establishes "The Institute for Standards in Mercantile Exchange in Pursuit of Civil Justice" (ISMEPCJ) to issue a currency. The ISMEPCJ is endowed with "two cart-loads" of delicious baked treats.
* '''-590 [[EC]]''': ISMEPCJ submits a declaration of rejection of charter to the court. Sub-Lochree Markleson's comments on behalf of the body are recorded as "We appreciate the brownies, really, but it is the opinion of the ISMEPCJ board that you people are a pack of loons." The ISMEPCJ recharters itself as the Chump Town Bank, begins minting the "chump chip" coin backed by harvest futures.
* '''-589 [[EC]]''': The IMRPCJ declares that 1 [[wurp]] of ouchless child solvent is worth zero chump chips, since the act of disolving a child in acid, even ouchless acid, is in fact of negative value to individuals and to society.
* '''-587 [[EC]]''': The court appoints "Mick from Hillbottom" first Marshall of the court, and orders him to execute the judgement, collect and dissolve the child, appoint witnesses, and distribute the winnings to the claimant families at no cost to the claimants.
* '''-580 [[EC]]''': Alek Hambeck-Harblock, a prosperous farmer, dies of natural causes.
* '''-579 [[EC]]''': The court appoints "Dex from Hillbottom" second Marshall of the court, and issues an order for the arrest and execution of "Mick from Hillbottom" for dereliction of duty.
* '''-565 [[EC]]''': Mick from Hillbottom dies in a farming accident. Cornelious Junior Crunch is appointed third Marshall, charged with the arrest and execution of Dex from Hillbottom.

Findings in this case continued formally until the Ivian court reform, and informally continue to this day as the traditional Folktown "Executioner's Festival" appointments. (Out of towners should note that modern appointees to the post of "Mick's Executioner" are only charged with wearing a comical hat, buying the drinks, and selecting the appointee at the following year's festival.)

In general, before the reforms of [[Odgar IV]], the court continued to operate in this fashion, issuing orders and founding various organizations and institutions, but apparently was otherwise ignored by the residents of the area. In addition to founding and overseeing alchemical, baking, econometric, and financial institutions, the court of this period established:

* '''-599 [[EC]]''': ''The Committee for the Measurement and Maintenance of Measure of Land Parcels in PCJ'' which would eventually lead the funding, design, and construction of the Folktown Clocktower in -490 [[EC]].
* '''-570 [[EC]]''': ''The Institute for Philosophical Research in PCJ'' which became the [[HANDBAG|Housewives And Nannies' Debatory Banter Association of Ghyll]].
* '''-560 [[EC]]''': ''The Institute for Wiping that Smug Grin off of Your Face in PCJ'' which became the infamous [[Morphomancy|Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy]].
* '''-551 [[EC]]''': ''The Institute for Municipal Earth Moving Arts in PCJ'' which became the famous Brotherhood of Golemists, instrumental in refining golem technology and at the center of very early [[Mechanaut]] research.
* '''-520 [[EC]]''': ''The Committee for Standards and Decency in Pantomime in PCJ'' which would schism to become both the Chump Town Council for the Arts and the The Order of the Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy (SUCKS).
* '''-410 [[EC]]''': ''The Council for the Preservation of Legislative Tradition in PCJ'' which in turn drew the charter for our current [[Nitenmangrey]]-influenced [[Parliament|Parliamentary traditions]] and established a formal parliamentary body (although at the time with no executive power whatsoever.)

The charter of each of these institutions was accompanied by the charter of a corresponding institution to handle bake sales for supporting the associated organization or endeavor. The court of this period also provided for the creation of what is today the Folktown militia and its associated bake-sale operations.

In -500 [[EC]], the Chump Town Bank was renamed "The Folk Town Bank", likely for reasons of credibility. Since by this time the bank was directly involved in much of the trade between the thriving but still small community and its neighbors, the name stuck, and by -450 [[EC]] the community was known to the outside world as "Folktown".

In -420 [[EC]], the (now Folktown) court issued a declaration which at the time was thought of as typical silliness, but which would have far reaching implications. Citing the cycle-clause from the Chump Town Charter "the fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk", and reasoning that not just the town but all of Ghyll was populated by folks, the court declared that "this court's ruling knows no formal or informal border, and it resolves to adjudicate, and through its executive to act, on petitions from all folk in all places."

At the time of what would later be called "the Grand Declaration" there had not been a petition to rule set before the court in over one hundred years. The declaration was dismissed as hyperbole by the residents of the hamlet, and as insanity by those few outside of town who happened to note its issue. Copyist's commentary aside, scholars are uncertain whether news of this declaration ever reached the ears of [[King Harandraff the Great]] or his courtiers.

===Folktown in the Golden Age===

At the end of the [[Bute University|great civil war]] in -390 [[EC]], the life of the small community of Folktown was still very similar to the life in neighboring farming communities. While the small size, the independent traditions of the community, and its easily visible clock tower shielded the region from the [[Cartographer's Nerves|potentially catastrophic geographic effects of the revolution]], the economic panic accompanying the war caused the collapse of the Folk Town Bank and ended Folktown's role as a center of finance. The town boasted only a court council that most considered a collection of harmless cranks and a variety of research and philanthropic organizations, few of which had very broad effects or implications for the average resident beyond the easy availability of low cost brownies from increasingly competitive charity bake sales. Indeed, saturation in the brownie market is what many scholars believe led to the fairly poor record of success for most of the "in PCJ" organizations chartered by the court after -400 [[EC]]. While the golden age of Ghyll marched on through the 300s, Folktown was largely left behind.

The "space rock" disaster in -306 [[EC]] marked an important turning point for this peaceful, if eccentric, village. The seemingly random death of fifteen children playing in Stockwood field, the site of the space rock impact, prompted Arthir Jhostings to publish his breakthrough paper on [[Cataclysmatology]], and began to attract the attention of the scholars and (more importantly) the students of [[Bute University]]. Also, in mourning, the Folktown Arts Council established an annual tradition of public music performance in memory of the lost children. These "rock concerts," initially featuring local musicians singing sad ballads, soon began to attract more qualified and diverse performers with the promise of easy crowds and cheap brownies.

Many years later, the two processes set in motion by the grim catalyst of the disaster would reach a high point with the -275 [[EC]] Stockwood Music Festival. The festival, organized by the Folktown Arts Council, was presented on the same field where the disaster had occurred, and featured 32 of the most popular musical acts of the era over three summer days. The organizers planned for an attendance of 2500 people (an attendance count considered "overly optimistic" by some members of the FAC.) Current estimates of actual attendance are above 10,000 souls, including the entire student body of [[Bute University]]. The number of brownies purchased from various Folktown organizations over those three days likely exceeded the combined sales of the preceding six years. When the smoke cleared, Folktown's organizations were wealthy and its reputation as a center of arts and culture was legend. The Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy were appalled, and their reaction began a radicalizing of the order that would lead to the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]]. The expense of providing for the crowd bankrupted the Folktown Arts Council. Over half of the university students in attendance did not return to the Bute University campus and settled together with the farming and baking folk of the town.

One of the students in attendance, who did not settle, was a young [[Odgar IV]].

===The Ivian Reforms===

In -263 [[EC]], the third year of the Ivian [[rejah]], [[Odgar IV]] returned to Folktown to attend the memorial concert. The concerts at this time were much smaller than the Stockwood "phenomenon" of '75, owing to the still almost-insolvent state of the Folktown Arts Council combined with the growing activism of the Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy, and the rejah commented disappointment to his historian (retained by Odgar IV himself out of his own private funds as his renown and power was still in line with the standard level of any other anonymous [[Iganefta]] neighborhood rejah.) After the concert, however, Odgar IV had the opportunity to observe the Folktown court and [[Parliament]] in deliberation, and see the effects of the, now once again, thriving institutions surrounding them.

The large body of relatively well educated but un-credentialled (and therefore inexpensive) labor made up of the [[Bute University|Bute]] Drop-outs, combined with the massive influx of cash resulting from the brownie sales bonanza, had sparked a renaissance within the various
research institutes and councils of the town. [[Odgar IV]] actually met and had drinks with a young Mek Meckton and Dirk Blood-Skull-Saint Monsterface, whose pioneering directorships of the Brotherhood of Golemists and the [[Morphomancy|Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy]] respectively would later become legend. He also had the opportunity to debate at length the role of public musical performance in moral community life with an unnamed Sister of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy (some folk traditions claim this sister was the woman who would in death be known as Sister Ursula Sandwich, although this is extremely unlikely in fact.)

In ''His Last Name is "Danger": A Memoir of [[Odgar IV]]'', Odgar IV's historian would record:

:By the time we left, his disappointment had turned to a sharp, uncharacteristic excitement. On the road back to [[Iganefta]], he dictated an account of his meetings and observations for almost an hour, all the while munching brownies from a bag. It is the only time I ever saw the great [[rejah]] talk with his mouth full. Finally, I protested.

:"The Great and Grand [[Rejah]]," I said, "It is said that to a fool, all the wisdom of the wise is as the ravings of madmen. It may be then what this fool heard from each and every person we spoke with were words of wisdom."

:The [[rejah]] replied: "In the last three days I have spoken with 27 people. Three were madmen, three were senile, four were dreamers, three were con men, two were salesmen, four were farmers, two were beggars, two were drunk, one was a zealot, one was psychotic, and two were children. None treated me with respect due to my station."

:"But not one, not '''one''', of these people mispronounced my name."

[[Odgar IV]] would maintain a deep interest in Folktown from that day until his untimely death. During the next 24 years he would regularly intervene in the life of Folktown by decree, through [[rejah]] decision, and through other means. He also arranged to perform there publically each year for the remainder of his life at the memorial music festival, although he never performed any of his own compositions on these occasions.

====Early Ivian Reforms====

By -257 [[EC]] [[Odgar IV]]'s power and influence throughout Ghyll were great enough for him to begin to act directly in the life of Folktown. His early reforms (from -257 [[EC]] to -250 [[EC]]) include the renaming of the streets, roads, and landforms of Folktown and the surrounding region, a re-endowment of the Folktown Arts Council from his personal treasury, the creation of a standards body with the power to impound and destroy tainted or low quality Baked Goods (a reform that was for a time rather unpopular in Folktown itself, but resulted in a rise in both the price and the quality of the now famous Folktown brownie), the establishment of branches of many Folktown professional organizations and institutions at first in [[Iganefta]] and later througout Ghyll, and the creation of an advisory "Board of the Wise", with members chosen from these organizations (so that many were Folktowners), to reside in his Iganefta court.

====The Radical Reforms and the Grand Declaration====

The [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]] of -250 [[EC]] appeared to have a profound effect on [[Odgar IV]]'s attitude toward Folktown. Cynics have noted that the [[rejah]]'s "mellowing out", his heartfelt speech and his call for canonization of the Martyr were accompanied by his draft of many of the barkeeps and restauranteurs responsible for the Arbuckle Hill Uprising to officer's posts in the Folktown militia.

Later that year. [[Odgar IV]] began the most radical of his Folktown-centric reforms by encouraging the construction of the Folktown to Iganefta causeway (which would much later become part of the [[Cataract Road]]) by picking out the wealthiest looking attendant at his court, once per week, and "recommending" a donation to the effort. The same year, at his annual Folktown performance, he announced a re-charter of the court and of [[Parliament]], presented both bodies with charters and articles he had drafted himself, and announced the retirements of all sitting members of both bodies and of the field marshall of the Folktown militia. The news came as a shock to the judges and representatives. However, due to the very generous "honoraria in recognition for years of service" awarded personally by Odgar IV to each member of the group, there was a great deal of cooperation from the outgoing officials.

In -247 [[EC]], with the completion of the causeway, [[Odgar IV]] began to consult with, and defer to, the new bodies in the course of his day to day administration. Citing "the Grand Declaration" of -420 [[EC]], he officially claimed that the source of his authority was the court and [[Parliament]] of Folktown. Of course, the new charters for both institutions stated that Odgar IV himself, for the duration of his life, possessed the sole right to appoint and dismiss members at will or dissolve and reform either body, and he was also to personally hold the post of Field Marshall of the Folktown militia for life.

===Post-[[rejah]] Folktown===

The absence of political crisis following [[Odgar IV]]'s death in -239 [[EC]] was remarkable. Perhaps owing in part to the manner of their ascension, the court and [[Parliament]] (and the Folktown militia) took up the reigns of government with little fuss. The Ivian charters provided for popular elections to Parliament and for a process of Parliament appointments to court positions; the charters were followed without question. [[Songs of Odgar The Fourth|Daisy and Brandi]] continued their joint administration of the Folktown Arts Council with a minimum of bloodshed, and continued to lay the foundation for the modern [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]].

===Modern Folktown===

The people of Folktown can likely speak for themselves about the last two hundred years; I have reproduced the following from the pamphlet ''Folktown!'', published this year by the
''Folktown Board of Commerce and Tourism in PCJ'':

:Recent history has seen the growth of Folktown from an honest, hard-working farm and brownie community into a modern, industrial (but still honest and hard-working) city. The founding of Folktown University in -220 [[EC]] was quickly followed by the founding of industrial giants the Folktown Steamworks Company (-199 [[EC]]) and Alchemical Research Laboratories (-197 [[EC]]). The Folktown Commodity Exchange first rang its opening bell in -191 [[EC]].

:The famous Folktown court system had its second major overhaul in -179 [[EC]] in response to the overwhelming compassion by the people of Folktown and all over Ghyll to the death of [[Houvers|Adamantine Areola Duphine]], resulting in the "Third Folktown Court Charter" that is the law of the land to this day. The political change did nothing to slow the growth of the now vibrant city. In addition to scholarship and industry, modern Folktown also boasts an impressive [[Paramount Queen|tourist trade]], and not one but [[EctoMechanauts|two major sites of EctoMechanaut Manufacture]], the Ghyll Mechanician's Guild Headquarters and the Folktown Mechanoworks Corporation. Even after [[agony uncle|recent unfortunate events]] prompted a major downturn in the Charitable Brownie Market, the people, culture, and economy of Folktown are still going strong!

Well.

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 occurred 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;">

==Folktown Records History==

<div style="background-color:#eee;border:1px solid #ccc;float:right;margin:1em;padding:0.5em;width:275px;"><strong>FR Editions Script</strong>: To convert the number of a Folktown Records edition into an EC date, you can use the [http://inamidst.com/misc/folkrec/250 online script]. Just replace the number in the URI (the Web address) with the one that you want the EC date of.</div>

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. As the editions of Folktown Records have been produced without fail every week from -13/3/22 EC onward, we can provide the following dates for landmark issues:

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

Joe Bowers: /* The Radical Reforms and the Grand Declaration Fixing Cataract Road Factual Error */

__TOC__

In only a bit more than 200 years, the once tiny hamlet of '''Folktown''' has emerged a center for industry, culture, and thought, or possibly a center for business, the arts, and scholarship, or at least a powerful source of pollution, pretension, and some of the finest grant writing since [[Aminfarances]].

==A Gloss of the History of Folktown==

Due to the large number of patrons of scholarship who reside in Folktown, the history of the community has been the subject of extremely thorough research. The following gloss is by necessity very brief and as a result somewhat superficial. Where appropriate, the author has taken pains to refer the reader to more exhaustive and authoritative sources.

===Prehistory and the X Documents===

[[Image:Folktown-X-document.jpg|frame|right|X Document 103, reproduced from the collection of [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]], with scholar's annotations.]]

Archeological evidence suggests that small communities of agricultural and toolmaking peoples were settled on and around around [[Arbuckle Hill]] as early as -1100 [[EC]]. The earliest documentary evidence of this culture are the puzzling "X Documents." More than two hundred of these documents are known to still be in existence.

Nearby is a copy of the decorative cover of X Document 103, currently in the private collection of [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]]. (The numerals, in red, are annotations by this scholar.) Like all of the known X Documents, it is painted in remarkably permanent vegetable pigments on carapace-leather, with distinctive orange and purple blocks and common text elements. The texts of (1) and (2) are the same for all known X Documents. The text of (2), with its character-forms that prefigure the modern Folktown common script, has been translated by Herbertoid as "this Joy, it is activity which prepares for harvest" in ''Everything We Know about the Folktown X Documents'' or as "We are amused, we are intent" by Herbertron in ''Herbertoid Knows Nothing about the Folktown X Documents''. The text of (1) is apparently phonetic, in a script that has yet to be convincingly identified or translated.

The text of (3) is written in what appears to be a degenerate form of classical N-ary, with only a single dimension of meaning. The numeral part varies from document to document, but the remainder of the text is always the same. The text of Document 103 reads "Five are out of balance" or "Five are foolish", followed by the imperative "Find them".

Unlike the exteriors, the interior of the X Documents were likely painted or written on wood-pulp paper, and no traces of their contents survive today. The most remarkable conclusion that can be drawn from these documents is founded on the fact that the dyes used are almost certainly manufactured from local agricultural products. This, together with the large number of surviving documents and the sites of their discovery, leads scholars to believe the peoples of the region were shockingly literate - it is likely that the surviving number of these documents is close to or exceeds the population of the region at any point before -800 [[EC]]!

===Early History of the Region===

Our knowledge of the classical history of the area begins with the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbugghyll Map]], from circa -700 [[EC]], which depicts a very small community of serfs living surrounding a manor farm. The next mention of the town, circa -640 [[EC]], is one of the rare documents that survived the [[King Harandraff the Great|purge of Harandraff]] (and probably originated in the [[Proto-Harandraff Orthonormal Basis Set]] {τ , ρ, φ}), the reign of the "disunited king" known to modern scholars as Proto-Harandraff ((-730 [[EC]], -600 [[EC]]), 9ρ, 0). The document contains the charter for a "Free Town", the only one of its kind known to modern scholars. [[Blivingdel|Blivingdel's]] translation of the preamblatory first degree of the charter (in ''Blivingdel's History of Folktown and Its Folks'') reads simply:

<blockquote>You Wanted it? You Got It.
<br />The fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk
<br />Don't Come Crying to me when it all blows up in your face.
<br />We and our officers wash our hands of you
<br />The city is now called
<br />By royal authority
<br />     Chump Town
<br />(ideogrammatic seal attributed to P-H ((-730 [[EC]], -600 [[EC]]), 9ρ, 0)).</blockquote>

Although the charter (as was customary at the time) also contains secondary and tertiary structures, the secondary content is apparently a long definition of the word (rather politely) translated by residents as "Chump", and the tertiary content seems to be an explicit description of rather implausible [[Ghyllian reproduction|mating habits]], attributed variously to "The City", "The People", and "[[Arbugghyll|The Lord of the People, Ar Bugh]]". What prompted the issue of the charter is still a subject of much debate amongst historians.

===The Folktown Court===

(This section relies extensively on Burbleson's ''Early Folktown Court Documents in Translation, -639 [[EC]] and Early -638 [[EC]]'' Volumes I through CVI.) The issue of the royal charter for the town was followed immediately by a declaration, at town meeting, establishing "A court of common folks to provide for the common order, 'cause who needs that King character, anyway" (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 4). The first act of the judges named in the declaration was the drafting of the original court charter (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 6 through Vol VI, Pg 2044).

The papers and records of the initial Folktown court are an oasis of plenty in an otherwise parched historical landscape. An anonymous copyist of one of the [[Odlucian Library]]'s original editions of ''Harandraff, the Greatest Guy Ever!'' editorializes that perhaps when confronted by the quantity of documentation an enormously verbose judiciary had produced after one hundred and fifty years of operation, [[King Harandraff the Great|Harandraff's]] inquisitors for historical purity chose to forget it existed rather than spend the years that would be required to burn it all. (It is notable that the page containing this commentary in the margins is the last page copied in that particular handwriting.) The picture these records paint of Folktown from the time of the charter through the great civil war is detailed and rich, but unfortunately rather narrow.

One of the first cases approached by the court, and one that sheds some light on both the depth and the limits of these documents is the case of "Baby Alek", investigated in detail by Herringer in his ''Mick's Executioner: Origins of the Folktown Executioner's Festival''. The case involves a pair of families, the Hambeck and Harblock clans, both claiming parentage of the same infant. The case was initially presented to the court in -639 [[EC]]. Testimony lasted for four days. The court then considered the case for a full year before reaching the preliminary verdict that the child should be cut in half and one half should be distributed to each party of claim. A chronology of the remainder of the court's activities with respect to the case follows:

* '''-638 [[EC]]''': Court deliberates which half should go to whom, debates the measurement of one-half an infant.
* '''-636 [[EC]]''': Court issues preliminary table of legal infant metrics.
* '''-636 [[EC]] (late)''': Legal infant metric table rejected.
* '''-632 [[EC]]''': Court issues preliminary executive order deciding that the infant should be dissolved into paste with powerful alchemical reagents and distributed by volume.
* '''-630 [[EC]]''': Court issues charter for "The Institute for Reactive Chemistry in Pursuit of Civil Justice" (IRCPCJ) "established for the research and development of a reagent appropriate to the flesh and exoskeleton of children ''without undue suffering on the part of the subject.''"
* '''-628 [[EC]]''': IRCPCJ bake sales spun off into "The Institute for the Fabrication of Delicious Treats in Pursuit of Civic Justice and Alchemical Research" (IFDTPCJAR) and ladies' auxiliary.
* '''-613 [[EC]]''': Court records receiving seven clay jars, each containing seven [[wurp]] of "ouchless child solvent" from the IRCPCJ. Records also state that the IRCPCJ is receiving sufficient support from the IFDTPCJAR to continue its research independently.
* '''-604 [[EC]]''': Court issues preliminary decision covering claimant liability for residual solvent in the liquid portions of the infant received, measured by the difference between one-half the weight of the child and the weight of the received portion, minus the weight of the jars used for the purpose of distribution, assessed at the fair market value of "the actual or a similar reagent used to disolve children to paste." Court charters "The Institute for Mercantile Research in Pursuit of Civil Justice" (IMRPCJ) to determine this value.
* '''-599 [[EC]]''': IMRPCJ issues request to the court for the definition of "A standard and negotiable measure of value" in order to complete its report.
* '''-598 [[EC]]''': Court establishes "The Institute for Standards in Mercantile Exchange in Pursuit of Civil Justice" (ISMEPCJ) to issue a currency. The ISMEPCJ is endowed with "two cart-loads" of delicious baked treats.
* '''-590 [[EC]]''': ISMEPCJ submits a declaration of rejection of charter to the court. Sub-Lochree Markleson's comments on behalf of the body are recorded as "We appreciate the brownies, really, but it is the opinion of the ISMEPCJ board that you people are a pack of loons." The ISMEPCJ recharters itself as the Chump Town Bank, begins minting the "chump chip" coin backed by harvest futures.
* '''-589 [[EC]]''': The IMRPCJ declares that 1 [[wurp]] of ouchless child solvent is worth zero chump chips, since the act of disolving a child in acid, even ouchless acid, is in fact of negative value to individuals and to society.
* '''-587 [[EC]]''': The court appoints "Mick from Hillbottom" first Marshall of the court, and orders him to execute the judgement, collect and dissolve the child, appoint witnesses, and distribute the winnings to the claimant families at no cost to the claimants.
* '''-580 [[EC]]''': Alek Hambeck-Harblock, a prosperous farmer, dies of natural causes.
* '''-579 [[EC]]''': The court appoints "Dex from Hillbottom" second Marshall of the court, and issues an order for the arrest and execution of "Mick from Hillbottom" for dereliction of duty.
* '''-565 [[EC]]''': Mick from Hillbottom dies in a farming accident. Cornelious Junior Crunch is appointed third Marshall, charged with the arrest and execution of Dex from Hillbottom.

Findings in this case continued formally until the Ivian court reform, and informally continue to this day as the traditional Folktown "Executioner's Festival" appointments. (Out of towners should note that modern appointees to the post of "Mick's Executioner" are only charged with wearing a comical hat, buying the drinks, and selecting the appointee at the following year's festival.)

In general, before the reforms of [[Odgar IV]], the court continued to operate in this fashion, issuing orders and founding various organizations and institutions, but apparently was otherwise ignored by the residents of the area. In addition to founding and overseeing alchemical, baking, econometric, and financial institutions, the court of this period established:

* '''-599 [[EC]]''': ''The Committee for the Measurement and Maintenance of Measure of Land Parcels in PCJ'' which would eventually lead the funding, design, and construction of the Folktown Clocktower in -490 [[EC]].
* '''-570 [[EC]]''': ''The Institute for Philosophical Research in PCJ'' which became the [[HANDBAG|Housewives And Nannies' Debatory Banter Association of Ghyll]].
* '''-560 [[EC]]''': ''The Institute for Wiping that Smug Grin off of Your Face in PCJ'' which became the infamous [[Morphomancy|Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy]].
* '''-551 [[EC]]''': ''The Institute for Municipal Earth Moving Arts in PCJ'' which became the famous Brotherhood of Golemists, instrumental in refining golem technology and at the center of very early [[Mechanaut]] research.
* '''-520 [[EC]]''': ''The Committee for Standards and Decency in Pantomime in PCJ'' which would schism to become both the Chump Town Council for the Arts and the The Order of the Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy (SUCKS).
* '''-410 [[EC]]''': ''The Council for the Preservation of Legislative Tradition in PCJ'' which in turn drew the charter for our current [[Nitenmangrey]]-influenced [[Parliament|Parliamentary traditions]] and established a formal parliamentary body (although at the time with no executive power whatsoever.)

The charter of each of these institutions was accompanied by the charter of a corresponding institution to handle bake sales for supporting the associated organization or endeavor. The court of this period also provided for the creation of what is today the Folktown militia and its associated bake-sale operations.

In -500 [[EC]], the Chump Town Bank was renamed "The Folk Town Bank", likely for reasons of credibility. Since by this time the bank was directly involved in much of the trade between the thriving but still small community and its neighbors, the name stuck, and by -450 [[EC]] the community was known to the outside world as "Folktown".

In -420 [[EC]], the (now Folktown) court issued a declaration which at the time was thought of as typical silliness, but which would have far reaching implications. Citing the cycle-clause from the Chump Town Charter "the fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk", and reasoning that not just the town but all of Ghyll was populated by folks, the court declared that "this court's ruling knows no formal or informal border, and it resolves to adjudicate, and through its executive to act, on petitions from all folk in all places."

At the time of what would later be called "the Grand Declaration" there had not been a petition to rule set before the court in over one hundred years. The declaration was dismissed as hyperbole by the residents of the hamlet, and as insanity by those few outside of town who happened to note its issue. Copyist's commentary aside, scholars are uncertain whether news of this declaration ever reached the ears of [[King Harandraff the Great]] or his courtiers.

===Folktown in the Golden Age===

At the end of the [[Bute University|great civil war]] in -390 [[EC]], the life of the small community of Folktown was still very similar to the life in neighboring farming communities. While the small size, the independent traditions of the community, and its easily visible clock tower shielded the region from the [[Cartographer's Nerves|potentially catastrophic geographic effects of the revolution]], the economic panic accompanying the war caused the collapse of the Folk Town Bank and ended Folktown's role as a center of finance. The town boasted only a court council that most considered a collection of harmless cranks and a variety of research and philanthropic organizations, few of which had very broad effects or implications for the average resident beyond the easy availability of low cost brownies from increasingly competitive charity bake sales. Indeed, saturation in the brownie market is what many scholars believe led to the fairly poor record of success for most of the "in PCJ" organizations chartered by the court after -400 [[EC]]. While the golden age of Ghyll marched on through the 300s, Folktown was largely left behind.

The "space rock" disaster in -306 [[EC]] marked an important turning point for this peaceful, if eccentric, village. The seemingly random death of fifteen children playing in Stockwood field, the site of the space rock impact, prompted Arthir Jhostings to publish his breakthrough paper on [[Cataclysmatology]], and began to attract the attention of the scholars and (more importantly) the students of [[Bute University]]. Also, in mourning, the Folktown Arts Council established an annual tradition of public music performance in memory of the lost children. These "rock concerts," initially featuring local musicians singing sad ballads, soon began to attract more qualified and diverse performers with the promise of easy crowds and cheap brownies.

Many years later, the two processes set in motion by the grim catalyst of the disaster would reach a high point with the -275 [[EC]] Stockwood Music Festival. The festival, organized by the Folktown Arts Council, was presented on the same field where the disaster had occurred, and featured 32 of the most popular musical acts of the era over three summer days. The organizers planned for an attendance of 2500 people (an attendance count considered "overly optimistic" by some members of the FAC.) Current estimates of actual attendance are above 10,000 souls, including the entire student body of [[Bute University]]. The number of brownies purchased from various Folktown organizations over those three days likely exceeded the combined sales of the preceding six years. When the smoke cleared, Folktown's organizations were wealthy and its reputation as a center of arts and culture was legend. The Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy were appalled, and their reaction began a radicalizing of the order that would lead to the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]]. The expense of providing for the crowd bankrupted the Folktown Arts Council. Over half of the university students in attendance did not return to the Bute University campus and settled together with the farming and baking folk of the town.

One of the students in attendance, who did not settle, was a young [[Odgar IV]].

===The Ivian Reforms===

In -263 [[EC]], the third year of the Ivian [[rejah]], [[Odgar IV]] returned to Folktown to attend the memorial concert. The concerts at this time were much smaller than the Stockwood "phenomenon" of '75, owing to the still almost-insolvent state of the Folktown Arts Council combined with the growing activism of the Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy, and the rejah commented disappointment to his historian (retained by Odgar IV himself out of his own private funds as his renown and power was still in line with the standard level of any other anonymous [[Iganefta]] neighborhood rejah.) After the concert, however, Odgar IV had the opportunity to observe the Folktown court and [[Parliament]] in deliberation, and see the effects of the, now once again, thriving institutions surrounding them.

The large body of relatively well educated but un-credentialled (and therefore inexpensive) labor made up of the [[Bute University|Bute]] Drop-outs, combined with the massive influx of cash resulting from the brownie sales bonanza, had sparked a renaissance within the various
research institutes and councils of the town. [[Odgar IV]] actually met and had drinks with a young Mek Meckton and Dirk Blood-Skull-Saint Monsterface, whose pioneering directorships of the Brotherhood of Golemists and the [[Morphomancy|Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy]] respectively would later become legend. He also had the opportunity to debate at length the role of public musical performance in moral community life with an unnamed Sister of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy (some folk traditions claim this sister was the woman who would in death be known as Sister Ursula Sandwich, although this is extremely unlikely in fact.)

In ''His Last Name is "Danger": A Memoir of [[Odgar IV]]'', Odgar IV's historian would record:

:By the time we left, his disappointment had turned to a sharp, uncharacteristic excitement. On the road back to [[Iganefta]], he dictated an account of his meetings and observations for almost an hour, all the while munching brownies from a bag. It is the only time I ever saw the great [[rejah]] talk with his mouth full. Finally, I protested.

:"The Great and Grand [[Rejah]]," I said, "It is said that to a fool, all the wisdom of the wise is as the ravings of madmen. It may be then what this fool heard from each and every person we spoke with were words of wisdom."

:The [[rejah]] replied: "In the last three days I have spoken with 27 people. Three were madmen, three were senile, four were dreamers, three were con men, two were salesmen, four were farmers, two were beggars, two were drunk, one was a zealot, one was psychotic, and two were children. None treated me with respect due to my station."

:"But not one, not '''one''', of these people mispronounced my name."

[[Odgar IV]] would maintain a deep interest in Folktown from that day until his untimely death. During the next 24 years he would regularly intervene in the life of Folktown by decree, through [[rejah]] decision, and through other means. He also arranged to perform there publically each year for the remainder of his life at the memorial music festival, although he never performed any of his own compositions on these occasions.

====Early Ivian Reforms====

By -257 [[EC]] [[Odgar IV]]'s power and influence throughout Ghyll were great enough for him to begin to act directly in the life of Folktown. His early reforms (from -257 [[EC]] to -250 [[EC]]) include the renaming of the streets, roads, and landforms of Folktown and the surrounding region, a re-endowment of the Folktown Arts Council from his personal treasury, the creation of a standards body with the power to impound and destroy tainted or low quality Baked Goods (a reform that was for a time rather unpopular in Folktown itself, but resulted in a rise in both the price and the quality of the now famous Folktown brownie), the establishment of branches of many Folktown professional organizations and institutions at first in [[Iganefta]] and later througout Ghyll, and the creation of an advisory "Board of the Wise", with members chosen from these organizations (so that many were Folktowners), to reside in his Iganefta court.

====The Radical Reforms and the Grand Declaration====

The [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]] of -250 [[EC]] appeared to have a profound effect on [[Odgar IV]]'s attitude toward Folktown. Cynics have noted that the [[rejah]]'s "mellowing out", his heartfelt speech and his call for canonization of the Martyr were accompanied by his draft of many of the barkeeps and restauranteurs responsible for the Arbuckle Hill Uprising to officer's posts in the Folktown militia.

Later that year. [[Odgar IV]] began the most radical of his Folktown-centric reforms by encouraging the construction of the extension to the Folktown to Iganefta causeway (which would much later become part of the [[Cataract Road]]) by picking out the wealthiest looking attendant at his court, once per week, and "recommending" a donation to the effort. The same year, at his annual Folktown performance, he announced a re-charter of the court and of [[Parliament]], presented both bodies with charters and articles he had drafted himself, and announced the retirements of all sitting members of both bodies and of the field marshall of the Folktown militia. The news came as a shock to the judges and representatives. However, due to the very generous "honoraria in recognition for years of service" awarded personally by Odgar IV to each member of the group, there was a great deal of cooperation from the outgoing officials.

In -247 [[EC]], with the completion of the causeway, [[Odgar IV]] began to consult with, and defer to, the new bodies in the course of his day to day administration. Citing "the Grand Declaration" of -420 [[EC]], he officially claimed that the source of his authority was the court and [[Parliament]] of Folktown. Of course, the new charters for both institutions stated that Odgar IV himself, for the duration of his life, possessed the sole right to appoint and dismiss members at will or dissolve and reform either body, and he was also to personally hold the post of Field Marshall of the Folktown militia for life.

===Post-[[rejah]] Folktown===

The absence of political crisis following [[Odgar IV]]'s death in -239 [[EC]] was remarkable. Perhaps owing in part to the manner of their ascension, the court and [[Parliament]] (and the Folktown militia) took up the reigns of government with little fuss. The Ivian charters provided for popular elections to Parliament and for a process of Parliament appointments to court positions; the charters were followed without question. [[Songs of Odgar The Fourth|Daisy and Brandi]] continued their joint administration of the Folktown Arts Council with a minimum of bloodshed, and continued to lay the foundation for the modern [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]].

===Modern Folktown===

The people of Folktown can likely speak for themselves about the last two hundred years; I have reproduced the following from the pamphlet ''Folktown!'', published this year by the
''Folktown Board of Commerce and Tourism in PCJ'':

:Recent history has seen the growth of Folktown from an honest, hard-working farm and brownie community into a modern, industrial (but still honest and hard-working) city. The founding of Folktown University in -220 [[EC]] was quickly followed by the founding of industrial giants the Folktown Steamworks Company (-199 [[EC]]) and Alchemical Research Laboratories (-197 [[EC]]). The Folktown Commodity Exchange first rang its opening bell in -191 [[EC]].

:The famous Folktown court system had its second major overhaul in -179 [[EC]] in response to the overwhelming compassion by the people of Folktown and all over Ghyll to the death of [[Houvers|Adamantine Areola Duphine]], resulting in the "Third Folktown Court Charter" that is the law of the land to this day. The political change did nothing to slow the growth of the now vibrant city. In addition to scholarship and industry, modern Folktown also boasts an impressive [[Paramount Queen|tourist trade]], and not one but [[EctoMechanauts|two major sites of EctoMechanaut Manufacture]], the Ghyll Mechanician's Guild Headquarters and the Folktown Mechanoworks Corporation. Even after [[agony uncle|recent unfortunate events]] prompted a major downturn in the Charitable Brownie Market, the people, culture, and economy of Folktown are still going strong!

Well.

Ghyll:Encyclopedant Calendar

2005-07-05T04:37:10Z

Joe Bowers: Dates from Hermeneutics

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 occurred 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;">
<tr><th>Date</th><th>Ghyll Event</th></tr>

==Folktown Records History==

<div style="background-color:#eee;border:1px solid #ccc;float:right;margin:1em;padding:0.5em;width:275px;"><strong>FR Editions Script</strong>: To convert the number of a Folktown Records edition into an EC date, you can use the [http://inamidst.com/misc/folkrec/250 online script]. Just replace the number in the URI (the Web address) with the one that you want the EC date of.</div>

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. As the editions of Folktown Records have been produced without fail every week from -13/3/22 EC onward, we can provide the following dates for landmark issues:

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

Ghyll:Hermeneutics

2005-07-05T04:14:00Z

Joe Bowers: polish

__TOC__

The term '''Hermeneutics''', in its most common usage,
denotes the science and craft of denotation, that is, the investigation
of the nature of meaning, and the application of those conclusions
to practical pursuits. Because of the
broad nature and diverse methods of the field, its formal scholarly
investigation or study is usually confined to a particular subdivision; it
is rare to find a scholar or student of hermeneutics in general.

==Geometric Hermeneutics==

Geometric Hermeneutics is the formal study of the meaning and interpretation of space or extension,
and the [[Mother Mutton's Golden Books|reciprocal effects of that meaning]].
This field, also historically referred to as as ''Geo-Semantics'', has been studied in
Ghyll from as early as [[Bute University|the great civil war]] and the discovery
of the ''Geo-Semantic Principle'', that is, that wherever you go, there
you are. Applied Geometric Hemeneutics is a necessary prerequisite
study for competent city planning, appropriate seating arrangements at
fancy-pants dinner parties, and [[Orthogonalities|orthogonal cartography]].

==Social Hermeneutics==

[[Briorus Jan-Vanderschusen]] is generally considered to be
the father of this sub-discipline, publishing the foundational
text in Applied Social Hermeneutics,
''Not '''That''' Way You Splakhead, '''This''' Way!'' in -246 [[EC]].
While this field has
[[Systematic Epistemological Action|very a wide variety of applications]] and an
active research community, the
Committee for Epistemological Hygiene at the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]]
has submitted a request that all discussion of the details of the
field in this encyclopedia be subject to review, and has declined
to review this entry. Interested scholars are encouraged
to contact [[Jarvik Jarvik]], CEH Authority, with regard to
information request 202020 ("Applied Social Hermeneutics", "Encyclopedia")
for more information.

==Musical Hermeneutics==

Begun in part as an outgrowth of Jan-Vandershusen's work, and in part as
a reaction to the simultanious publication of the foundational and groundbreaking
[[Songs of Odgar The Fourth]] and the death of [[Odgar IV]] himself.
Herbert Blashford's -234 [[EC]] paper
''Too Much Metal for Just One Hand: Critical Methodologies and the Works of [[Odgar Rejah]]'', coined the term "Musical Hermeneutics", is usually credited with outlining the
fundimental approaches of the field and identifying the common threads of the preceeding
social and physical fields of study.

==Applied Biological Hermeneutics==

Another important voice in Musical Hermeneutics is renessance scholar
[[Wilhelmina Corinne Bardway]]. Bardway's work in developing the
[[Ghoulwood viola]] in -100 [[EC]] is usually considered the great applied breakthrough
in the musical definition and interpretation of meaning. The viola
project also spawned the field of Applied Biological Hermeneutics,
that is the reflection of interpretation and meaning to biological
and organic materials and processes, a work that Bardway continues
to this day in application to [[Speedish Chefs|culinary]] and [[Zygotic Dermatosis|medical]]
subjects. Because good lord, she's old. And still so sassy!

==Applied Linguistic Hermeneutics==

A young field, serious applied study of the subject has only begun as recently
as -65 [[EC]], with the recognition by the scholarly community
of the [[Cactus forests|MSG Effect]]. Bardway has been instrumental in
developing the material approaches and applications for the techniques
in this area, most signifigantly (at present) in her paper
''[[Carthage]] Must Be Destroyed: Linguology, Meaning, and New Aesthetics for [[old hat|Old Hat]]''.
Promising recent results have been achieved by scholars in the
application of linguological study to the synthesis of certain spices.

==EctoMechanical Hermeneutics==

Carl Kapek's -45 [[EC]] paper
''The Mechanical Power of Positive Thinking Applied to the Positron Powered Thinking Machine'' is the pioneering work on this subject, and may be
the most influential piece of scholarship in our current [[EctoMechanauts|EctoMechanical Age]].
This field is the subject of extremely active research, both in the
scholarly and private sectors.

==Critical Hermeneutics==

Nobody pays much attention to this field. Just a lot of old windbags
talking themselves around in circles.

==The Study of Hermen "J.J" Neut, of Wikaway Lane, Cranee Village==

A secondary use of the term, this field is very new. While it has much promise, it has
yet to produce signifigant results.

'''Citations:''' [[Briorus Jan-Vanderschusen]], [[Wilhelmina Corinne Bardway]], [[Jarvik Jarvik]].

--[[User:Joe Bowers|Joe Bowers]] 23:08, 2 Jul 2005 (EDT)

----

Although his scholarly work
is often overshadowed by his later role
as front man of [[Quiver'n'bend|Herbie Blashford and the Blashmen]], Blashford's
role as a theoretical pioneer was a great influence on his later work.
Consider the following lyrics:
<blockquote>
Well get out of that bed, wash your face and hands<br/>
Get out of that bed, wash your face and hands<br/>
The phenomonological reflexivity of interpretive modes in music appreciation<br/>
Is pretty hard to understand<br/>

==In the Beginning==

In the beginning, heads exploded, and the mandibles, they were everywhere. In insectkind's search and thirst for knowledge, there was no light and dark, no good and evil, no worth and unworth. We thirsted, but in our fervor, we drank both the panacea and the poison. [[Cartographer's Nerves|Consensus reality]], [[orthogonalities]], [[transformational theory]] -- all caused our heads to rise up against the will of the body and to splatter themselves ruthlessly instead of fighting the good fight of understanding, comprehension, and matriculation.

Many heads and parts were lost, as this was long before the donor programs of the [[Office of Knowledge About Things]]. The beginners tried many things, such as inventing the concepts of Up and Down: whereas our heads were Up and they exploded, and our Feets were Down and they did not, we tried learning while reversed: Head to the floor, Feets to the sky. Our Feets, they did not explode. Our Heads, they ruined our rugs.

And so the beginners, in their sadness, created the Ultimatum. These ultimatums commanded us to, or not to, handle knowledge. We were not to know about [[Phaelros|infinite iterations]], but that two [[burnflies]] in the bush are better than one in the hand. We were to know the price of fish, but not the location of [[Avazian Box|Their Box]]. We were not to know the true history of the beginners, but only the intent of their reasoning and the willingness of a story that wanted spreading. We were to know we are, but not we mightn't be.

On that day, light and dark was created. To ensure the light remained light, and the dark dark, the beginners admonished their continuants to forever "revise and surmise, revise and surmise".

==The Folly of the Continuants==

As of roughly -14 [[EC]], the term "ultimatum" has been replaced with the longer and less friendly "Systematic Epistemological Action". The reasoning, though unwarranted and heretical, concerns dilution of the original term's power, and is retold in an issue of [[Aliens Everywhere]]. Regarding the disappearance of Altifur Witherspoon, the "hobosopher of the East":

<blockquote>
MISTAH: So, he comes up to me, and says "Where's Altifur?"
<br />MISTAH: And I says, I say, "Wha'choo want with Altifur?"
<br />MISTAH: That there Altifur, he's not right upstairs!
<br />Missus: And then he said he had to show him something.
<br />MISTAH: He had to show him something, that's right.
<br />Missus: Tell 'em what you told him, honey.
<br />MISTAH: Lemme tell ya what I told him.
<br />MISTAH: I told him, "Altie's Mate Ate 'Em!"
<br />Missus: Altie's Mate Ate 'Em!
<br />MISTAH: Altie's Mate Ate 'Em! Ate 'em on Tuesday, she did.
<br />Missus: He hadn't taken out the garb...
<br />MISTAH: Woman! This is my story! Who's tellin' the story?
<br />Missus: You're telling the story.
<br />MISTAH: I'm telling the story. Thas' right. It's my story!
<br />MISTAH: See, that there Altifur hadn't taken out the garbage.
<br />MISTAH: And she ate 'em!
<br />Missus: Tell 'em who that guy was.
<br />MISTAH: Dammit, woman, I'm getting there!
<br />MISTAH: Lemme tell ya who that guy was. That guy...
<br />Missus: Was someone big important.
<br />MISTAH: Apparently, he was someone big important.
<br />MISTAH: Starts telling everyone 'Altie's Mate Ate 'Em!'
<br />Missus: Altie's Mate Ate 'Em!
<br />MISTAH: Altie's Mate Ate 'Em!
<br />MISTAH: Next thing I know, everyone's saying it.
<br />Missus: Everyone!
<br />MISTAH: Treefiddy?
<br />Missue: Treefiddy!

Readers are ''strongly encouraged'' not to pursue lines of enquiry suggested by this article without first consulting with the CEH, for their own safety and the safety of the community.

== Egron: Sources of Information ==

The town of '''Egron''' is located northeast of [[Folktown]], east of the town of Sejfeld. It is a designated "Red Zone" of epistemological contagion, subject to indefinite physical and consciousness quarantine. The CEH/BOFK report that Egron was, and is, a site of a [[Systematic Epistemological Action]] action due to [[doggerel plague]].

=== Sporting Records ===

The "Egron Eagles" appear in [[Bindlet Ball]] season summaries and scoring records until -9 {{EC}}. Due to the inevitable bureaucratic errors associated with epistemological hygiene actions and the accompanying lack of records, in -3 {{EC}} the Egron Eagles were re-registered and fielded a team which did rather well during the season. The resulting breach of quarantine had few public health effects due to the high noise volume and focused attention of game players and attendees.

=== Economic Records ===

Wine jars for some vineyards with vintages before -9 {{EC}} bear the imprint "Egron Glassworks". It is currently a violation of quarantine protocol to own or display these jars, unless they contain vintages of "Exceptional Quality" as registered with the BOFK "Wine and Sporting Exception to Quarantine Protocol", -7 {{EC}}. Empty jars must be destroyed within four days of opening.

=== Legal Records ===

The creation, ownership, or exchange of scholarly or other documents pertaining to the village of Egron which are not approved by the relevant authorities is considered a direct threat to public health, and persons taking part in such activities are subject to the appropriate legal and private prosecution. There are currently 47 cases of "private enforcement action" relevant to Egronalia on file at CEH/BOFK.

The following fragment, originally published in [[Aliens Everywhere]] magazine, was the basis for the popular musical pantomime "Love and Madness"; for this reason, it can be considered "Prior Release" with respect to CEH recommendations.

<blockquote>How's this for a pull at your heart strings, readers. If you think you've had it rough at the hands of the conspiracy with them stealing your mail and convincing those kids to egg your house, etc., get a load of this -- you ain't seen nothing. This reporter was present last week at the [[Folktown Council Hall]] and watched the following story unravel.</blockquote>

<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>

Ghyll:Hermeneutics

2005-07-05T04:08:05Z

Joe Bowers: /* Applied Linguistic Hermeneutics- Typo */

EARLY DRAFT! (Comments and corrections welcome. I gotta link Jarvik Jarvik, too)

The term '''Hermeneutics''', in its most common usage,
denotes the science and craft of denotation, that is, the investigation
of the nature of meaning, and the application of those conclusions
to engineering, technomantic, or alchemical pursuits. Because of the
broad nature and diverse methods of the field, its formal scholarly
pursuit or study is usually confined to a particular subdivision- it
is rare to find a scholar or student of hermeneutics in general.

==Geometric Hermeneutics==

Geometric Hermeneutics is the formal study of the meaning and interpretation of space or extension,
and the [[Mother Mutton's Golden Books|reciprocal effects of that meaning]].
This field, also historically referred to as as ''Geo-Semantics'', has been studied in
Ghyll from as early as [[Bute University|the great civil war]] and the discovery
of the ''Geo-Semantic Principle'', that is, that wherever you go, there
you are. Applied Geometric Hemeneutics is a necessary prerequisite
study for competent city planning, appropriate seating arrangements at
fancy-pants dinner parties, and [[Orthogonalities|orthogonal cartography]].

==Social Hermeneutics==

[[Briorus Jan-Vanderschusen]] is generally considered to be
the father of this sub-discipline, publishing the foundational
text in Applied Social Hermeneutics,
''Not '''That''' Way You Splakhead, '''This''' Way!'' in -246 [[EC]].
While this field has
[[Systematic Epistemological Action|very a wide variety of applications]] and an
active research community, the
Committee for Epistemological Hygiene at the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]]
has submitted a request that all discussion of the details of the
field in this encyclopedia be subject to review, and has declined
to review this entry. Interested scholars are encouraged
to contact [[Jarvik Jarvik]], CEH Authority, with regard to
information request 202020 ("Applied Social Hermeneutics", "Encyclopedia")
for more information.

==Musical Hermeneutics==

Begun in part as an outgrowth of Jan-Vandershusen's work, and in part as
a reaction to the simultanious publication of the foundational and groundbreaking
[[Songs of Odgar The Fourth]] and the death of [[Odgar IV]] himself.
Herbert Blashford's -234 [[EC]] paper
''Too Much Metal for Just One Hand: Critical Methodologies and the Works of [[Odgar Rejah]]'', coined the term "Musical Hermeneutics", is usually credited with outlining the
fundimental approaches of the field and identifying the common threads of the preceeding
social and physical fields of study.

==Applied Biological Hermeneutics==

Another important voice in Musical Hermeneutics is renessance scholar
[[Wilhelmina Corinne Bardway]]. Bardway's work in developing the
[[Ghoulwood viola]] in -100 [[EC]] is usually considered the great applied breakthrough
in the musical definition and interpretation of meaning. The viola
project also spawned the field of Applied Biological Hermeneutics,
that is the reflection of interpretation and meaning to biological
and organic materials and processes, a work that Bardway continues
to this day in application to [[Speedish Chefs|culinary]] and [[Zygotic Dermatosis|medical]]
subjects. Because good lord,
she's old. And still so sassy!

==Applied Linguistic Hermeneutics==

A young field, serious applied study of the subject has only begun as recently
as -65 [[EC]], with the recognition by the scholarly community
of the [[Cactus forests|MSG Effect]]. Bardway has been instrumental in
developing the material approaches and applications for the techniques
in this area, most signifigantly (at present) in her paper
''[[Carthage]] Must Be Destroyed: Linguology, Meaning, and New Aesthetics for [[old hat|Old Hat]]''.
Promising recent results have been achieved by scholars in the
application of linguological study to the synthesis of certain spices.

==EctoMechanical Hermeneutics==

Carl Kapek's -45 [[EC]] paper
''The Mechanical Power of Positive Thinking Applied to the Positron Powered Thinking Machine'' is the pioneering work on this subject, and may be
the most influential piece of scholarship in our current [[EctoMechanauts|EctoMechanical Age]].
This field is the subject of extremely active research, both in the
scholarly and private sectors.

==Critical Hermeneutics==

Nobody pays much attention to this field. Just a lot of old windbags
talking themselves around in circles.

==The Study of Hermen "J.J" Neut, of Wikaway Lane, Cranee Village==

A secondary use of the term, this field is very new. While it has much promise, it has
yet to produce signifigant results.

Although his scholarly work
is often overshadowed by his later role
as front man of [[Quiver'n'bend|Herbie Blashford and the Blashmen]], Blashford's
role as a theoretical pioneer was a great influence on his later work.
Consider the following lyrics:
<blockquote>
Well get out of that bed, wash your face and hands<br/>
Get out of that bed, wash your face and hands<br/>

and the [[Mother Mutton's Golden Books|reciprocal effects of that meaning]].
This field, also historically referred to as as ''Geo-Semantics'', has been studied in
Ghyll from as early as [[Bute University|the great civil war]] and the discovery
of the ''Geo-Semantic Principle'', that is, that wherever you go, there
you are. Applied Geometric Hemeneutics is a necessary prerequisite
study for competent city planning, appropriate seating arrangements at
fancy-pants dinner parties, and [[Orthogonalities|orthogonal cartography]].

==Social Hermeneutics==

[[Briorus Jan-Vanderschusen]] is generally considered to be
the father of this sub-discipline, publishing the foundational
text in Applied Social Hermeneutics,
''Not '''That''' Way You Splakhead, '''This''' Way!'' in -246 [[EC]].
While this field has

Committee for Epistemological Hygiene at the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]]
has submitted a request that all discussion of the details of the
field in this encyclopedia be subject to review, and has declined

==Musical Hermeneutics==

Begun in part as an outgrowth of Jan-Vandershusen's work, and in part as
a reaction to the simultanious publication of the foundational and groundbreaking

Herbert Blashford's -234 [[EC]] paper
''Too Much Metal for Just One Hand: Critical Methodologies and the Works of [[Odgar Rejah]]'', coined the term "Musical Hermeneutics", is usually credited with outlining the
fundimental approaches of the field, and identifying the common threads of the preceeding
social, and geophysical fields of study. Blashford is sometimes considered the founder
and one of the few practitioners of a general hermeneutics, although his scholarly work
is often overshadowed by his later role
as front man of [[Quiver'n'bend|Herbie Blashford and the Blashmen]].

==Applied Biological Hermeneutics==

Another important voice in Musical Hermeneutics is renessance scholar
[[Wilhelmina Corinne Bardway]]. Bardway's work in developing the
[[Ghoulwood viola]] in -100 [[EC]] is usually considered the great applied breakthrough
in the musical definition and interpretation of meaning. The viola
project also spawned the field of Applied Biological Hermeneutics,
that is the reflection of interpretation and meaning to biological
and organic materials and processes, a work that Bardway continues
to this day in application to [[Speedish Chefs|culinary]] and [[Zygotic Dermatosis|medical]]
subjects. Because good lord,
she's old. And still so sassy!

==Applied Linguistic Hermeneutics==

Another field to which Bardway has made a signifigant contribution
is the field of Applied Linguistic Hermeneutics. A young field,
serious applied study of the subject has only begun as recently
as -65 [[EC]], with the recognition by the scholarly community
of the [[Cactus forests|MSG Effect]].
Current signifigant results include the application
of linguological study to [[Carthage|the synthesis of certain spices]].

==EctoMechanical Hermeneutics==

Carl Kapek's -45 [[EC]] paper
''The Mechanical Power of Positive Thinking Applied to the Positron Powered Thinking Machine'' is the pioneering work on this subject, and may be
the most influential piece of scholarship in our current [[EctoMechanauts|EctoMechanical Age]].
This field is the subject of extremely active research, both in the
scholarly and private sectors.

==Critical Hermeneutics==

Nobody pays much attention to this field. Just a lot of old windbags
talking themselves around in circles.

==The Study of Hermen "J.J" Neut, of Wikaway Lane, Cranee Village==

A secondary use of the term, this field is very new. While it has much promise, it has
yet to produce signifigant results.

Joe Bowers: /* Applied Geometric Hermeneutics - cleanup */

EARLY DRAFT! (Comments and corrections welcome. I gotta link Jarvik Jarvik, too)

The term '''Hermeneutics''', in its most common usage,
denotes the science and craft of denotation, that is, the investigation
of the nature of meaning, and the application of those conclusions
to engineering, technomantic, or alchemical pursuits. Because of the
broad nature and diverse methods of the field, its formal scholarly
pursuit or study is usually confined to a particular subdivision- it
is rare to find a scholar or student of hermeneutics in general.

The term '''Hermeneutics''', in its most common usage,
denotes the science and craft of denotation, that is, the investigation
of the nature of meaning, and the application of those conclusions
to engineering, technomantic, or alchemical pursuits. While
philosophical enquiry in the nature of meaning is also technically
included in this definition, the word in use most commonly refers
to the many applied disciplines associated with the phenomena of

Ghyll:Hermeneutics

2005-07-03T05:31:39Z

Joe Bowers: Pre-Spell check, grammar, etc.

Notes only. Needs proofreading bad.

The term '''Hermeneutics''', in its most common usage,
denotes the science and craft of denotation, that is, the investigation
of the nature of meaning, and the application of those conclusions
to engineering, technomantic, or alchemical pursuits. While
philosophical enquiry in the nature of meaning is also technically
included in this definition, the word in use most commonly refers
to the many applied disciplines associated with the phenomena of
sign and meaning. Because of the
broad nature and diverse methods of the field, its formal scholarly
pursuit or study is usually confined to a particular subdivision- it
is rare to find a scholar or student of hermeneutics in general.

==Applied Geometric Hermeneutics==

The formal study of the meaning and interpretation of space or extension,
and the [[Mother Mutton's Golden Books|reciprocal effects of that meaning]].
This field, known initially as ''Geo-Semantics'', has been studied in
Ghyll from the early [[Bute University|civil war]] and the discovery
of the ''Geo-Semantic Principle'', that is, that wherever you go, there
you are. Applied Geometric Hemeneutics is a necessary prerequisite
study for competent city planning, appropriate seating arrangements at
fancy-pants dinner parties, and [[Orthogonalities|orthogonal cartography]].

==Applied Social Hermeneutics==

[[Briorus Jan-Vanderschusen]] is generally considered to be
the father of this sub-discipline, publishing the foundational
text in Applied Social Hermeneutics,
''Not '''That''' Way You Splakhead, '''This''' Way!'' in -246 [[EC]].
While this field has
[[Systematic Epistemological Action|very a wide variety of applications]] and an
active research community, the
Committee for Epistemological Hygiene of the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]]
has submitted a request that all discussion of the details of the
field in this encyclopedia be subject to review, and has declined
to review this entry. Interested scholars are encouraged
to contact [[Jarvik Jarvik]], CEH Authority, with regard to
information request 202020 ("Applied Social Hermeneutics", "Encyclopedia")
for more information.

==Musical Hermeneutics==

Begun in part as an outgrowth of Jan-Vandershusen's work, and in part as
a reaction to the simultanious publication of the foundational and groundbreaking
[[Songs of Odgar The Fourth]] and the death of [[Odgar IV]] himself.
Herbert Blashford's -234 [[EC]] paper
''Too Much Metal for Just One Hand: Critical Methodologies and the Works of [[Odgar Rejah]]'', coined the term "Musical Hermeneutics", is usually credited with outlining the
fundimental approaches of the field, and identifying the common threads of the preceeding
social, and geophysical fields of study. Blashford is sometimes considered the founder
and one of the few practitioners of a general hermeneutics, although his scholarly work
is often overshadowed by his later role
as front man of [[Quiver'n'bend|Herbie Blashford and the Blashmen]].

Joe Bowers: hurray!

The cherished and timeless image in the Ghyllian imagination of the
rustic statistician, alone in his fields with his data sets,
is incomplete without his herd of graphorn, that fixture
of rural life throughout Ghyll. This little, yellow, different and better
relative of the wily wild orn and the even-wilier wild orn are
bred for their natural aptitude at data visualization and
information design.

Graphorn (and their wild cousins) are members of the
graphorn-and-their-wild-cousins family according to
[[Kmuppens' Taxonomy]]. Graphorn-Herding and selective breeding
of Graphorn are a recent innovation; before -6,000 EC, early
Ghyllicans likely followed the migrating herds of graphorn,
relying on speed and skill for
gathering charts and presentation materials left behind by the animals
on their travels. This hypothesis is supported not only by
archeological and linguistic evidence, but the surprising prominence
of "Grass eaten versus manure produced" graphics found in
[[Early Ghyllian Sales and Marketing Practices|surviving sales presentations over 6,500 years old]].

[[Image:Graphorn.jpg|thumb|One of the oldest surviving examples of wild graphorn information design]]

Even the modern, carefully bred "domestic" graphorn is still prone to
occasional bouts of wiliness, and many a country data analyst has woken up in
springtime only to find his morning's bar-charts covered in gratuitous
drop shadows, poorly labeled or misleading scales, and gaudy graphics
without clear semantic value. In fact, some scholars have speculated
that the [[Modern Standard Ghyllian]] word "graphorn" has its roots
in the Olkuull words "grphr" (meaning "that's pretty wily") and "rn"
(meaning "but has a great natural aptitude for the visual display of
quantitative information.") Of course, these scholars are both ignoring
the obvious and making stuff up.

Ghyll:Folktown

2005-06-27T19:48:47Z

Joe Bowers: typo

In only a bit more than 200 years, the once tiny hamlet of Folktown
has emerged a center for industry, culture, and thought.

or possibly a center for business, the arts, and scholarship.

or at least a powerful source of pollution, pretension, and
some of the finest grant writing since [[Aminfarances]].

== A Gloss of the History of Folktown ==

Due to the large number of patrons of scholarship who reside in Folktown,
the history of the community has been the subject of extremely thorough
research. The following gloss is by necessity very brief and as a result
somewhat superficial. Where appropriate, the author has taken pains to
refer the reader to more exhaustive and authoritative sources.

=== Prehistory and The X Documents ===

Archeological evidence suggests that small communities of agricultural
and toolmaking peoples were settled on and around around [[Arbuckle Hill]] as early
as -1100 [[EC]]. The earliest documentary evidence of this culture
are the puzzling "X Documents." More than two hundred of these documents are known
to still be in existence.

[[Image:Folktown-X-document.jpg]]

The above is a copy of the decorative cover of X Document 103,
currently in the private collection of [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]].
(The numerals, in red, are annotations by this scholar.) Like
all of the known X Documents, it is painted in remarkably permanent
vegetable pigments on carapace-leather, with distinctive orange
and purple blocks and common text elements. The texts of (1) and (2) are
the same for all known X Documents. The text of (2), with its character-forms
that prefigure the modern folktown common script, has been translated
by Herbertoid as "this Joy, it is activity which prepares for harvest" in
''Everything We Know about the Folktown X Documents'' or
as "We are amused, we are intent" by Herbertron in ''Herbertoid Knows Nothing about the Folktown X Documents''. The text of (1) is apparently
phonetic, in a script that has yet to be convincingly identified
or translated.

The text of (3) is written in what appears to be a degenerate
form of classical N-ary, with only a single dimension of meaning.
The numeral part varies from document to document, but the remainder of the
text is always the same. The text of Document 103 reads
"Five are out of balance" or "Five are foolish", followed by
the imperative "Find them".

Unlike the exteriors, the interior of the X Documents were
likely painted or written on wood-pulp paper, and no traces
of their contents survive today.

The most remarkable conclusion that can be drawn from these
documents is founded on the fact that the dyes used are
almost certainly manufactured from local agricultural products.
This, together with the large number of surviving
documents and the sites of their discovery,
leads scholars to believe the peoples of the region were shockingly
literate- it is likely that the surviving number of these
documents is close to or exceeds the population of the
region at any point before -800 [[EC]]!

=== Early History of the Region ===

Our knowledge of the classical history of the area
begins with the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbugghyll Map]], from
circa -700 [[EC]], which depicts a very
small community of serfs living surrounding a manor farm.

The next mention of the town, circa -640 [[EC]], is one of the rare
documents that survived the [[King Harandraff the Great|purge of Harandraff]],
and probably originated in the [[Proto-Harandraff Orthonormal Basis Set]]
{τ , ρ, φ}, the reign of the
"[[King Harandraff the Great|disunited king]]" known to modern
scholars as Proto-Harandraff ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0). The document
contains the charter for a "Free Town", the only one of its
kind known to modern scholars. [[Blivingdel|Blivingdel's]] translation of the
preamblatory first degree of the
charter (in ''Blivingdel's History of Folktown and Its Folks'')
reads simply:

<blockquote>
You Wanted it? You Got It.<br />
The fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk<br />
Don't Come Crying to me when it all blows up in your face.<br />
We and our officers wash our hands of you<br />
The city is now called<br />
By royal authority<br />
:Chump Town
(ideogrammatic seal attributed to P-H ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0))
</blockquote>

Although the charter (as was customary at the time) also
contains secondary and tertiary structures, the secondary
content is apparently a long definition of the word (rather politely)
translated by residents as "Chump", and the tertiary content
seems to be an explicit description of rather implausible
[[Ghyllian_reproduction|mating habits]], attributed variously
to "The City", "The People", and "[[Arbugghyll|The Lord of the People, Ar Bugh]]".
What prompted the issue of the charter is still a subject of much
debate amongst historians.

=== The Folktown Court ===

(This section relies extensively on Burbleson's
''Early Folktown Court Documents in Translation, -639 [[EC]] and Early -638 [[EC]]''
Volumes I through CVI)

The issue of the royal charter for the town was followed immediately
by a declaration, at town meeting, establishing "A court of common folks to to provide for the
common order, 'cause who needs that King character, anyway" (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 4),
The first act of the judges named in the declaration was the drafting the original
court charter (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 6 through Vol VI, Pg 2044).

The papers and records of the initial Folktown court are an oasis
of plenty in an otherwise parched historical landscape.
An anonymous copyist of one of the [[Odlucian Library]]'s original editions of
''Harandraff, the Greatest Guy Ever!'' editorializes that
perhaps when confronted by the quantity of documentation
an enormously verbose judiciary had produced after one
hundred and fifty years of operation,
[[King Harandraff the Great|Harandraff's]] inquisitors for historical purity chose to
forget it existed rather than spend the years that
would be required to burn it all. (It is notable that the
page containing this commentary in the margins is the last
page copied in that particular handwriting.)

The picture these records paint of Folktown from the
time of the charter through the great civil war
is detailed and rich, but unfortunately rather narrow.

One of the first cases approached by the court, and one that sheds some light
on both the depth and the limits of these documents is the case of "Baby Alek",
investigated in detail by Herringer in his
''Mick's Executioner: Origins of the Folktown Executioner's Festival''. The case
involves a pair of families, the Hambeck and Harblock clans, both claiming
parentage of the same infant.
The case was initially presented to the court in -639 [[EC]].
Testimony lasted for four days. The
court then considered the case for a full year before reaching
the preliminary verdict that the child should be cut in half
and one half should be distributed to each party of claim.
A chronology of the remainder of the court's activities with respect
to the case follows:

<ul>
<li> -638 [[EC]]: court deliberates which half should go to whom,
debates the measurement of one-half an infant.</li>
<li> -636 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary table of legal infant metrics.</li>
<li> late -636 [[EC]]: legal infant metric table rejected.</li>
<li> -632 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary executive order deciding that
the infant should be dissolved into paste with powerful
alchemical reagents and distributed by volume.</li>
<li> -630 [[EC]]: court issues charter for "The Institute for
Reactive Chemistry in Pursuit of Civil Justice", "established for the research and development
of a reagent appropriate to the flesh and exoskeleton of children 'Without undue suffering on the part of the subject.'"</li>
<li> -628 [[EC]]: IRCPCJ Bake sales spun off into "The Institute for the Fabrication of Delicious Treats in Pursuit of Civic Justice and Alchemical Research" and ladies' auxiliary.</li>
<li> -613 [[EC]]: court records receiving seven clay jars, each containing seven [[Chesix System of Measures|wurp]] of "ouchless child solvent" from the IRCPCJ. Records also state that the IRCPCJ is receiving sufficient support from the IFDTPCJAR to continue its research independently.</li>
<li> -604 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary decision covering claimant liability for residual solvent in the liquid portions of the infant received, measured by the difference between one-half the weight of the child and the weight of the received portion, minus the weight of the jars used for the purpose of distribution, assessed at the fair market value of "the actual or a similar reagent used to disolve children to paste." Court charters "The Institute for Mercantile Research in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to determine this value.</li>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: IMRPCJ issues request to the court for the definition of "A standard and negotiable measure of value" in order to complete its report.</li>
<li> -598 [[EC]]: court establishes "The Institute for Standards in Mercantile Exchange in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to issue a currency. The ISMEPJ is endowed with "two cart-loads" of delicious baked treats.</li>
<li> -590 [[EC]]: ISMEPJ submits a declaration of rejection of charter to the court. Sub-Lochree Markleson's comments on behalf of the body are recorded as "We appreciate the brownies, really, but it is the opinion of the ISMEPJ board that you people are a pack of loons." The ISMEPJ recharters itself as the Chump Town Bank, begins minting the "Chump Chip" coin backed by harvest futures.</li>
<li> -589 [[EC]]: the IMRPCJ declares that 1 wurp of ouchless child solvent is worth zero chump chips, since the act of disolving a child in acid, even ouchless acid, is in fact of negative value to individuals and to society.</li>
<li> -587 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Mick from Hillbottom" first Marshall of the court, and orders him to execute the judgement, collect and dissolve the child, appoint witnesses, and distribute the winnings to the claimant families at no cost to the claimants.</li>
<li> -580 [[EC]]: Alek Hambeck-Harblock, a prosperous farmer, dies of natural causes.</li>
<li> -579 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Dex from Hillbottom" second Marshall of the court, and issues an order for the arrest and execution of "Mick from Hillbottom" for dereliction of duty.</li>
<li> -565 [[EC]]: Mick from Hillbottom dies in a farming accident. Cornelious Junior Crunch is appointed third Marshall, charged with the arrest and execution of Dex from Hillbottom.</li>
</ul>

Findings in this case continued formally until the Ivian court reform,
and informally continue to this day as the traditional Folktown "Executioner's Festival" appointments.
(Out of towners should note that modern appointees to the post of "Mick's Executioner"
are only charged with wearing a comical hat, buying the drinks, and selecting the
appointee at the following year's festival.)

In general, before the reforms of Odgar IV, the court continued to
operate in this fashion. It continued to issue orders and found various organizations
and institutions, but apparently was otherwise ignored by the residents
of the area. In addition to founding and overseeing alchemical, baking,
econometric, and financial institutions, the court of this period established

<ul>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for the Measurement and Maintenece of Measure of Land Parcels in PCJ''' which would eventually
lead the funding, design, and construction of the Folktown Clocktower in -490 [[EC]].</li>
<li> -570 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Philosophical Research in PCJ''' which became
the [[HANDBAG|Housewives And Nannies' Debatory Banter Association of Ghyll]]</li>
<li> -560 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Wiping that Smug Grin off of Your Face in PCJ''' which became the infamous [[Morphomancy|Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy]]</li>
<li> -551 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Municipal Earth Moving Arts in PCJ''' Which
became the famous Brotherhood of Golemists, instrumental in refining golem technology
and at the center of early [[Mechanaut]] research.</li>
<li> -520 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for Standards and Decency in Pantomime in PCJ''' which would
schism to become both the Chump Town Council for the Arts and the The Order of the Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy (SUCKS).</li>
<li> -410 [[EC]]: '''The Council for the Preservation of Legislative Tradition in PCJ''' which
in turn drew the charter for our current [[Nitenmangrey]]-influenced
[[Parliament|Parliamentary traditions]], and established a formal
parliamentary body (Although at the time with no executive power whatsoever.)</li>
</ul>

The charter of each of these institutions was accompanied by the charter
of a corresponding institution to handle bake-sales for supporting the associated
organization or endevor. The court of this period also provided for the creation of what is today the Folktown militia and its associated bake-sale operations.

In -500 [[EC]], the Chump Town Bank was renamed "The Folk Town Bank", likely for reasons of credibility. Since by this time the bank was directly involved in much of the trade between the thriving but still small community and its neighbors, the name stuck, and by -450 [[EC]] the community was known to the outside world as "Folktown".

In -420 [[EC]], the (now Folktown) court issued a declaration which at the time was thought
of as typical silliness, but which would have far reaching implications. Citing the
cycle-clause from the Chump Town Charter "the fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk",
and reasoning that not just the town but all of Ghyll was populated by folks, the court
declared that "this court's ruling knows no formal or informal border, and it resolves
to adjudicate, and through its executive to act, on petitions from all folk in all places."

At the time of what would later be called "the Grand Declaration" there had not been
a petition to rule set before the court in over one hundred years. The declaration
was dismissed as hyperbole by the residents of the hamlet, and as insanity by those
few outside of town who happened to note its issue. Copyist's commentary aside,
scholars are uncertain whether news of this declaration ever reached the ears of
[[King Harandraff the Great]] or his courtiers.

=== Folktown in the Golden Age ===

At the end of the [[Bute University|great civil war]] in -390 [[EC]],
the life of the small community of Folktown was still very similar to
the life in neighboring farming communities. While the small size,
the independent traditions of the community, and its easily visible clock tower
shielded the region from the
[[Cartographer's Nerves|potentially catastrophic geographic effects of the revolution]], The economic panic accompanying
the war caused the collapse of the Folk Town Bank and ended Folktown's role
as a center of finance. The town
boasted only a court council that most considered a collection of harmless cranks
and variety of research and philanthropic organizations, few of which had very
broad effects or implications for the average resident beyond the easy
availability of low cost brownies from increasingly competitive charity bake sales.
Indeed, saturation in the brownie market is what many scholars believe led to the fairly
poor record of success for most of the "in PCJ" organizations chartered
by the court after -400 [[EC]]. While the golden age of Ghyll marched
on through the 300's, Folktown was largely left behind.

The "space rock" disaster in -306 [[EC]] marked the an important turning
point for this peaceful, if eccentric, village. The seemingly random death
of fifteen children playing in Stockwood field, the site of the space rock impact,
prompted Arthir Jhostings to publish his breakthrough paper on [[Cataclysmatology]],
and began to attract the attention of the scholars and (more importantly) the students
of [[Bute University]] to the town. Also, in mourning, the Folktown Arts
Council established an annual tradition of public music performance in memory of the
lost children. These "rock concerts," initially featuring local musicians
singing sad ballads, soon began to attract more qualified and diverse
performers with the promise of easy crowds and cheap brownies.

Many years later, the two processes set in motion by the grim catalyst
of the disaster would reach a high point with the -275 [[EC]] Stockwood Music Festival. The
festival, organized by the Folktown Arts Council, was presented
on the same field where the disaster had occurred, and featured 32 of the most
popular musical acts of the era over three summer days. The organizers
planned for an attendance of 2500 people (an attendance count considered
"overly optimistic" by some members of the FAC.) Current estimates of
actual attendance are above 10,000 souls, including the entire student
body Bute University. The number of brownies purchased from various
folktown organizations over those three days likely exceeded the combined sales
of the preceding six years. When the smoke cleared, Folktown's organizations
were wealthy and Folktown's reputation as a center of arts and culture was
legend. The Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy were appalled,
and their reaction began a radicalizing of the order that would lead to
the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]]. The expense of providing for
the crowd bankrupted the Folktown Arts Council. Over half of the university
students in attendance did not return to the Bute University campus and
settled together with the farming and baking folk of the town.

One of the students who was in attendance but did not settle in town
was a young [[Odgar IV]].

=== the IVian Reforms ===

in -263 [[EC]], the third year of the Ivian Rejah, Odgar IV returned to folktown
to attend the memorial concert. The concerts at this time were much smaller
than the Stockwood "phenomenon" of '74, owing to the still almost-insolvent state
of the Folktown Arts Council combined with the growing activism of the Sisters of
Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy,
and the Rejah commented disappointment to his historian (at this time the historian
was retained by Odgar IV himself out of his own private funds, as the renown
and power of Odgar IV was still in line with the standard level of any other anonymous
Iganefta neighborhood rejah.) After the concert, however, Odgar IV had the opportunity
to observe the Folktown court and parliament in deliberation, and see the effects
of the now once again thriving institutions surrounding them.

The large body of relatively well educated
but un-credentialled (and therefore inexpensive) labor made up of the
Bute Drop-outs, combined with the massive influx of cash resulting from
the brownie sales bonanza, had sparked a renessance within the various
research institutes and councils of the town. Odgar IV actually met and had drinks
with a young Mek Meckton and Dirk Blood-Skull-Saint Monsterface, whose
pioneering directorships of the Brotherhood of Golemists and the
Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy respectively would later become legend.
He also had the opportunity to debate at length the role of public musical performance
in moral community life with an unnamed Sister of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy
(some folk traditions claim that this sister was the woman who would
in death be known as Sister Ursula Sandwich, although this is extremely unlikely in fact.)

In ''His Last Name is "Danger": A Memoir of Odgar IV'',
Odgar IV's historian would record:
<blockquote>
<p>By the time we left, his disappointment had turned to
a sharp, uncharacteristic excitement. On the road back to [[Iganefta]],
he dictated an account of his meetings and observations for almost an
hour, all the while munching brownies from a bag. It is the only time I ever saw the
great Rejah talk with his mouth full. Finally, I protested.</p>

<p>"The Great and Grand Rejah," I said, "It is said that to a fool,
all the wisdom of the wise is as the ravings of madmen. It may be
then what this fool heard from each and every person we spoke with
were words of wisdom."</p>

<p>The Rejah replied: "In the last three days I have spoken with
27 people. Three were madmen, three were senile, four were dreamers,
three were con men, two were salesmen, four were farmers, two were beggars,
two were drunk, one was a zelot,
one was psychotic, and two were children. None treated me with
respect due to my station."</p>

<p>"But not one, not '''one''' of these people mispronounced my name."</p>
</blockquote>

Odgar IV would maintain a deep interest in Folktown from that day until
his untimely death. During the next 24 years he would regularly
intervene in the life of Folktown, by decree, through [[Rejah|rejah decision]],
and through other means. He also arranged to perform there publically each year for the
remainder of his life at the memorial music festival, although he never performed
any of his own compositions on these occasions.

==== Early Ivian Reforms ====

By -257 [[EC]] Odgar IV's power and influence throughout Ghyll
were great enough for him to begin to act directly in the life of Folktown.
His early reforms (from -257 to -250) include the renaming of the streets,
roads, and landforms of Folktown and the surrounding region, a
re-endowment of the Folktown Arts Council from his personal treasury, the
creation of a standards body with the power to impound and destroy tainted
or low quality Baked-Goods (a reform that was for a time rather unpopular
in Folktown itself, but resulted in a rise in both the price and the quality
of the now famous Folktown brownie), the establishment of branches of many Folktown
professional organizations and institutions at first in Iganefta and later througout Ghyll,
and the creation of an advisory "Board of the Wise", with members chosen from these
organizations (so that many were Folktowners), to reside in his Iganefta court.

==== The Radical Reforms and the Grand Declaration ====

The [[Arbuckle_Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]] of -250 [[EC]] appeared to
have a profound effect on Odgar IV's attitude toward Folktown. Cynics have
noted that the Rejah's "mellowing out", his heartfelt speech and
his call for canonization of the Martyr were accompanied by his draft of
many of the barkeeps and restauranteurs responsible for the Arbuckle Hill Uprising to
officer's posts in the Folktown militia.

Later that year Odgar IV began the most radical of his Folktown-centric reforms by encouraging the construction of the extension to the [[Cataract Road]] that leads through Folktown
(by picking out the wealthiest looking attendant at his court, once per week, and
"recommending" a donation to the effort.) The same year, at his annual Folktown performance,
he announced a re-charter of the court and of parliament, presented both bodies
with charters and articles he had drafted himself, and announced the retirements
of all sitting members of both bodies and of the field marshall of the Folktown militia.
The news came as a shock to the judges and representatives. However, due to the very
generous "honoraria in recognition for years of service" awarded personally by Odgar
IV to each member of the group there was a great deal of cooperation from the outgoing officials.

In -247 [[EC]], with the completion of the Cataract Road extension, Odgar IV
began to consult with, and defer to, the new bodies in the course of
his day to day administration. Citing "the Grand Declaration" of -420 [[EC]], he
officially claimed that the source of his authority
was the court and parliament of Folktown. Of course, the new charters for both institutions
stated that Odgar IV himself, for the duration of his life, possessed the sole right
to appoint and dismiss members at will or dissolve and reform either body, and he
was also to personally hold the post of Field Marshall of the Folktown militia for life.

=== Post-Rejah Folktown ===

The absence of political crisis following Odgar IV's death in -239 [[EC]] was
remarkable. Perhaps owing in part to the manner of their ascension,
the court and parliament (and the Folktown militia) took up the reigns of
government with little fuss. The Ivian charters provided for popular elections
to Parliament and for a process of Parliament appointments to court positions,
the charters were followed without question. [[Songs_of_Odgar_The_Fourth|Daisy and Brandi]]
continued their joint administration of the Folktown Arts Council with a minimum of
bloodshed, and continued to lay the foundation for the modern [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]].

=== Modern Folktown ===

The people of Folktown can likely speak for themselves about the last two
hundred years; I have reproduced the following from the pamphlet ''Folktown!'', published
this year by the Folktown Board of Commerce and Tourism, in PCJ:

<blockquote>
<p>Recent history has seen the growth of Folktown from an honest,
hard-working farm and brownie community into a modern, industrial
(but still honest and hard-working) city.
The founding of Folktown University in -220 [[EC]] was quickly followed by
the founding of industrial giants the Folktown Steamworks Company (-199 [[EC]]),
and Alchemical Research Laboratories (-197 [[EC]]). The Folktown Commodity
Exchange first rang its opening bell in -191 [[EC]].</p>

<p>The famous Folktown court system had its second major overhaul in -179 [[EC]] in
response to the overwhelming compassion by the people of Folktown and all over Ghyll
to the death of [[Houvers|Adamantine Areola Duphine]],
resulting in the "Third Folktown Court Charter" that is the law of the land
to this day. The political change did nothing to slow the growth of the
now vibrant city. In addition to scholarship and industry, modern
Folktown also boasts an impressive [[Paramount Queen|tourist trade]],
and not one but [[EctoMechanauts|two major sites of EctoMechanaut Manufacture]],
the Ghyll Mechanician's Guild Headquarters and the Folktown Mechanoworks
Corporation. Even after [[Agony uncle|recent unfortunate events]] prompted in
a major downturn in the Charitable Brownie Market, the people, culture,
and economy of Folktown are still going strong!</p>
</blockquote>

Ghyll:Folktown

2005-06-27T19:43:43Z

Joe Bowers: typo

In only a bit more than 200 years, the once tiny hamlet of Folktown
has emerged a center for industry, culture, and thought.

or possibly a center for business, the arts, and scholarship.

or at least a powerful source of pollution, pretension, and
some of the finest grant writing since [[Aminfarances]].

== A Gloss of the History of Folktown ==

Due to the large number of patrons of scholarship who reside in Folktown,
the history of the community has been the subject of extremely thorough
research. The following gloss is by necessity very brief and as a result
somewhat superficial. Where appropriate, the author has taken pains to
refer the reader to more exhaustive and authoritative sources.

=== Prehistory and The X Documents ===

Archeological evidence suggests that small communities of agricultural
and toolmaking peoples were settled on and around around [[Arbuckle Hill]] as early
as -1100 [[EC]]. The earliest documentary evidence of this culture
are the puzzling "X Documents." More than two hundred of these documents are known
to still be in existence.

[[Image:Folktown-X-document.jpg]]

The above is a copy of the decorative cover of X Document 103,
currently in the private collection of [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]].
(The numerals, in red, are annotations by this scholar.) Like
all of the known X Documents, it is painted in remarkably permanent
vegetable pigments on carapace-leather, with distinctive orange
and purple blocks and common text elements. The texts of (1) and (2) are
the same for all known X Documents. The text of (2), with its character-forms
that prefigure the modern folktown common script, has been translated
by Herbertoid as "this Joy, it is activity which prepares for harvest" in
''Everything We Know about the Folktown X Documents'' or
as "We are amused, we are intent" by Herbertron in ''Herbertoid Knows Nothing about the Folktown X Documents''. The text of (1) is apparently
phonetic, in a script that has yet to be convincingly identified
or translated.

The text of (3) is written in what appears to be a degenerate
form of classical N-ary, with only a single dimension of meaning.
The numeral part varies from document to document, but the remainder of the
text is always the same. The text of Document 103 reads
"Five are out of balance" or "Five are foolish", followed by
the imperative "Find them".

Unlike the exteriors, the interior of the X Documents were
likely painted or written on wood-pulp paper, and no traces
of their contents survive today.

The most remarkable conclusion that can be drawn from these
documents is founded on the fact that the dyes used are
almost certainly manufactured from local agricultural products.
This, together with the large number of surviving
documents and the sites of their discovery,
leads scholars to believe the peoples of the region were shockingly
literate- it is likely that the surviving number of these
documents is close to or exceeds the population of the
region at any point before -800 [[EC]]!

=== Early History of the Region ===

Our knowledge of the classical history of the area
begins with the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbugghyll Map]], from
circa -700 [[EC]], which depicts a very
small community of serfs living surrounding a manor farm.

The next mention of the town, circa -640 [[EC]], is one of the rare
documents that survived the [[King Harandraff the Great|purge of Harandraff]],
and probably originated in the [[Proto-Harandraff Orthonormal Basis Set]]
{τ , ρ, φ}, the reign of the
"[[King Harandraff the Great|disunited king]]" known to modern
scholars as Proto-Harandraff ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0). The document
contains the charter for a "Free Town", the only one of its
kind known to modern scholars. [[Blivingdel|Blivingdel's]] translation of the
preamblatory first degree of the
charter (in ''Blivingdel's History of Folktown and Its Folks'')
reads simply:

<blockquote>
You Wanted it? You Got It.<br />
The fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk<br />
Don't Come Crying to me when it all blows up in your face.<br />
We and our officers wash our hands of you<br />
The city is now called<br />
By royal authority<br />
:Chump Town
(ideogrammatic seal attributed to P-H ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0))
</blockquote>

Although the charter (as was customary at the time) also
contains secondary and tertiary structures, the secondary
content is apparently a long definition of the word (rather politely)
translated by residents as "Chump", and the tertiary content
seems to be an explicit description of rather implausible
[[Ghyllian_reproduction|mating habits]], attributed variously
to "The City", "The People", and "[[Arbugghyll|The Lord of the People, Ar Bugh]]".
What prompted the issue of the charter is still a subject of much
debate amongst historians.

=== The Folktown Court ===

(This section relies extensively on Burbleson's
''Early Folktown Court Documents in Translation, -639 [[EC]] and Early -638 [[EC]]''
Volumes I through CVI)

The issue of the royal charter for the town was followed immediately
by a declaration, at town meeting, establishing "A court of common folks to to provide for the
common order, 'cause who needs that King character, anyway" (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 4),
The first act of the judges named in the declaration was the drafting the original
court charter (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 6 through Vol VI, Pg 2044).

The papers and records of the initial Folktown court are an oasis
of plenty in an otherwise parched historical landscape.
An anonymous copyist of one of the [[Odlucian Library]]'s original editions of
''Harandraff, the Greatest Guy Ever!'' editorializes that
perhaps when confronted by the quantity of documentation
an enormously verbose judiciary had produced after one
hundred and fifty years of operation,
[[King Harandraff the Great|Harandraff's]] inquisitors for historical purity chose to
forget it existed rather than spend the years that
would be required to burn it all. (It is notable that the
page containing this commentary in the margins is the last
page copied in that particular handwriting.)

The picture these records paint of Folktown from the
time of the charter through the great civil war
is detailed and rich, but unfortunately rather narrow.

One of the first cases approached by the court, and one that sheds some light
on both the depth and the limits of these documents is the case of "Baby Alek",
investigated in detail by Herringer in his
''Mick's Executioner: Origins of the Folktown Executioner's Festival''. The case
involves a pair of families, the Hambeck and Harblock clans, both claiming
parentage of the same infant.
The case was initially presented to the court in -639 [[EC]].
Testimony lasted for four days. The
court then considered the case for a full year before reaching
the preliminary verdict that the child should be cut in half
and one half should be distributed to each party of claim.
A chronology of the remainder of the court's activities with respect
to the case follows:

<ul>
<li> -638 [[EC]]: court deliberates which half should go to whom,
debates the measurement of one-half an infant.</li>
<li> -636 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary table of legal infant metrics.</li>
<li> late -636 [[EC]]: legal infant metric table rejected.</li>
<li> -632 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary executive order deciding that
the infant should be dissolved into paste with powerful
alchemical reagents and distributed by volume.</li>
<li> -630 [[EC]]: court issues charter for "The Institute for
Reactive Chemistry in Pursuit of Civil Justice", "established for the research and development
of a reagent appropriate to the flesh and exoskeleton of children 'Without undue suffering on the part of the subject.'"</li>
<li> -628 [[EC]]: IRCPCJ Bake sales spun off into "The Institute for the Fabrication of Delicious Treats in Pursuit of Civic Justice and Alchemical Research" and ladies' auxiliary.</li>
<li> -613 [[EC]]: court records receiving seven clay jars, each containing seven [[Chesix System of Measures|wurp]] of "ouchless child solvent" from the IRCPCJ. Records also state that the IRCPCJ is receiving sufficient support from the IFDTPCJAR to continue its research independently.</li>
<li> -604 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary decision covering claimant liability for residual solvent in the liquid portions of the infant received, measured by the difference between one-half the weight of the child and the weight of the received portion, minus the weight of the jars used for the purpose of distribution, assessed at the fair market value of "the actual or a similar reagent used to disolve children to paste." Court charters "The Institute for Mercantile Research in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to determine this value.</li>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: IMRPCJ issues request to the court for the definition of "A standard and negotiable measure of value" in order to complete its report.</li>
<li> -598 [[EC]]: court establishes "The Institute for Standards in Mercantile Exchange in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to issue a currency. The ISMEPJ is endowed with "two cart-loads" of delicious baked treats.</li>
<li> -590 [[EC]]: ISMEPJ submits a declaration of rejection of charter to the court. Sub-Lochree Markleson's comments on behalf of the body are recorded as "We appreciate the brownies, really, but it is the opinion of the ISMEPJ board that you people are a pack of loons." The ISMEPJ recharters itself as the Chump Town Bank, begins minting the "Chump Chip" coin backed by harvest futures.</li>
<li> -589 [[EC]]: the IMRPCJ declares that 1 wurp of ouchless child solvent is worth zero chump chips, since the act of disolving a child in acid, even ouchless acid, is in fact of negative value to individuals and to society.</li>
<li> -587 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Mick from Hillbottom" first Marshall of the court, and orders him to execute the judgement, collect and dissolve the child, appoint witnesses, and distribute the winnings to the claimant families at no cost to the claimants.</li>
<li> -580 [[EC]]: Alek Hambeck-Harblock, a prosperous farmer, dies of natural causes.</li>
<li> -579 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Dex from Hillbottom" second Marshall of the court, and issues an order for the arrest and execution of "Mick from Hillbottom" for dereliction of duty.</li>
<li> -565 [[EC]]: Mick from Hillbottom dies in a farming accident. Cornelious Junior Crunch is appointed third Marshall, charged with the arrest and execution of Dex from Hillbottom.</li>
</ul>

Findings in this case continued formally until the Ivian court reform,
and informally continue to this day as the traditional Folktown "Executioner's Festival" appointments.
(Out of towners should note that modern appointees to the post of "Mick's Executioner"
are only charged with wearing a comical hat, buying the drinks, and selecting the
appointee at the following year's festival.)

In general, before the reforms of Odgar IV, the court continued to
operate in this fashion. It continued to issue orders and found various organizations
and institutions, but apparently was otherwise ignored by the residents
of the area. In addition to founding and overseeing alchemical, baking,
econometric, and financial institutions, the court of this period established

<ul>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for the Measurement and Maintenece of Measure of Land Parcels in PCJ''' which would eventually
lead the funding, design, and construction of the Folktown Clocktower in -490 [[EC]].</li>
<li> -570 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Philosophical Research in PCJ''' which became
the [[HANDBAG|Housewives And Nannies' Debatory Banter Association of Ghyll]]</li>
<li> -560 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Wiping that Smug Grin off of Your Face in PCJ''' which became the infamous [[Morphomancy|Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy]]</li>
<li> -551 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Municipal Earth Moving Arts in PCJ''' Which
became the famous Brotherhood of Golemists, instrumental in refining golem technology
and at the center of early [[Mechanaut]] research.</li>
<li> -520 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for Standards and Decency in Pantomime in PCJ''' which would
schism to become both the Chump Town Council for the Arts and the The Order of the Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy (SUCKS).</li>
<li> -410 [[EC]]: '''The Council for the Preservation of Legislative Tradition in PCJ''' which
in turn drew the charter for our current [[Nitenmangrey]]-influenced
[[Parliament|Parliamentary traditions]], and established a formal
parliamentary body (Although at the time with no executive power whatsoever.)</li>
</ul>

The charter of each of these institutions was accompanied by the charter
of a corresponding institution to handle bake-sales for supporting the associated
organization or endevor. The court of this period also provided for the creation of what is today the Folktown militia and its associated bake-sale operations.

In -500 [[EC]], the Chump Town Bank was renamed "The Folk Town Bank", likely for reasons of credibility. Since by this time the bank was directly involved in much of the trade between the thriving but still small community and its neighbors, the name stuck, and by -450 [[EC]] the community was known to the outside world as "Folktown".

In -420 [[EC]], the (now Folktown) court issued a declaration which at the time was thought
of as typical silliness, but which would have far reaching implications. Citing the
cycle-clause from the Chump Town Charter "the fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk",
and reasoning that not just the town but all of Ghyll was populated by folks, the court
declared that "this court's ruling knows no formal or informal border, and it resolves
to adjudicate, and through its executive to act, on petitions from all folk in all places."

At the time of what would later be called "the Grand Declaration" there had not been
a petition to rule set before the court in over one hundred years. The declaration
was dismissed as hyperbole by the residents of the hamlet, and as insanity by those
few outside of town who happened to note its issue. Copyist's commentary aside,
scholars are uncertain whether news of this declaration ever reached the ears of
[[King Harandraff the Great]] or his courtiers.

=== Folktown in the Golden Age ===

At the end of the [[Bute University|great civil war]] in -390 [[EC]],
the life of the small community of Folktown was still very similar to
the life in neighboring farming communities. While the small size,
the independent traditions of the community, and its easily visible clock tower
shielded the region from the
[[Cartographer's Nerves|potentially catastrophic geographic effects of the revolution]], The economic panic accompanying
the war caused the collapse of the Folk Town Bank and ended Folktown's role
as a center of finance. The town
boasted only a court council that most considered a collection of harmless cranks
and variety of research and philanthropic organizations, few of which had very
broad effects or implications for the average resident beyond the easy
availability of low cost brownies from increasingly competitive charity bake sales.
Indeed, saturation in the brownie market is what many scholars believe led to the fairly
poor record of success for most of the "in PCJ" organizations chartered
by the court after -400 [[EC]]. While the golden age of Ghyll marched
on through the 300's, Folktown was largely left behind.

The "space rock" disaster in -306 [[EC]] marked the an important turning
point for this peaceful, if eccentric, village. The seemingly random death
of fifteen children playing in Stockwood field, the site of the space rock impact,
prompted Arthir Jhostings to publish his breakthrough paper on [[Cataclysmatology]],
and began to attract the attention of the scholars and (more importantly) the students
of [[Bute University]] to the town. Also, in mourning, the Folktown Arts
Council established an annual tradition of public music performance in memory of the
lost children. These "rock concerts," initially featuring local musicians
singing sad ballads, soon began to attract more qualified and diverse
performers with the promise of easy crowds and cheap brownies.

Many years later, the two processes set in motion by the grim catalyst
of the disaster would reach a high point with the -275 [[EC]] Stockwood Music Festival. The
festival, organized by the Folktown Arts Council, was presented
on the same field where the disaster had occurred, and featured 32 of the most
popular musical acts of the era over three summer days. The organizers
planned for an attendance of 2500 people (an attendance count considered
"overly optimistic" by some members of the FAC.) Current estimates of
actual attendance are above 10,000 souls, including the entire student
body Bute University. The number of brownies purchased from various
folktown organizations over those three days likely exceeded the combined sales
of the preceding six years. When the smoke cleared, Folktown's organizations
were wealthy and Folktown's reputation as a center of arts and culture was
legend. The Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy were appalled,
and their reaction began a radicalizing of the order that would lead to
the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]]. The expense of providing for
the crowd bankrupted the Folktown Arts Council. Over half of the university
students in attendance did not return to the Bute University campus and
settled together with the farming and baking folk of the town.

One of the students who was in attendance but did not settle in town
was a young [[Odgar IV]].

=== the IVian Reforms ===

in -263 [[EC]], the third year of the Ivian Rejah, Odgar IV returned to folktown
to attend the memorial concert. The concerts at this time were much smaller
than the Stockwood "phenomenon" of '74, owing to the still almost-insolvent state
of the Folktown Arts Council combined with the growing activism of the Sisters of
Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy,
and the Rejah commented disappointment to his historian (at this time the historian
was retained by Odgar IV himself out of his own private funds, as the renown
and power of Odgar IV was still in line with the standard level of any other anonymous
Iganefta neighborhood rejah.) After the concert, however, Odgar IV had the opportunity
to observe the Folktown court and parliament in deliberation, and see the effects
of the now once again thriving institutions surrounding them.

The large body of relatively well educated
but un-credentialled (and therefore inexpensive) labor made up of the
Bute Drop-outs, combined with the massive influx of cash resulting from
the brownie sales bonanza, had sparked a renessance within the various
research institutes and councils of the town. Odgar IV actually met and had drinks
with a young Mek Meckton and Dirk Blood-Skull-Saint Monsterface, whose
pioneering directorships of the Brotherhood of Golemists and the
Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy respectively would later become legend.
He also had the opportunity to debate at length the role of public musical performance
in moral community life with an unnamed Sister of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy
(some folk traditions claim that this sister was the woman who would
in death be known as Sister Ursula Sandwich, although this is extremely unlikely in fact.)

In ''His Last Name is "Danger": A Memoir of Odgar IV'',
Odgar IV's historian would record:
<blockquote>
<p>By the time we left, his disappointment had turned to
a sharp, uncharacteristic excitement. On the road back to [[Iganefta]],
he dictated an account of his meetings and observations for almost an
hour, all the while munching brownies from a bag. It is the only time I ever saw the
great Rejah talk with his mouth full. Finally, I protested.</p>

<p>"The Great and Grand Rejah," I said, "It is said that to a fool,
all the wisdom of the wise is as the ravings of madmen. It may be
then what this fool heard from each and every person we spoke with
were words of wisdom."</p>

<p>The Rejah replied: "In the last three days I have spoken with
27 people. Three were madmen, three were senile, four were dreamers,
three were con men, two were salesmen, four were farmers, two were beggars,
two were drunk, one was a zelot,
one was psychotic, and two were children. None treated me with
respect due to my station."</p>

<p>"But not one, not '''one''' of these people mispronounced my name."</p>
</blockquote>

Odgar IV would maintain a deep interest in Folktown from that day until
his untimely death. During the next 24 years of the he would regularly
intervene in the life of Folktown, by decree, through [[Rejah|rejah decision]],
and through other means. He also arranged to perform there publically each year for the
remainder of his life at the memorial music festival, although he never performed
any of his own compositions on these occasions.

==== Early Ivian Reforms ====

By -257 [[EC]] Odgar IV's power and influence throughout Ghyll
were great enough for him to begin to act directly in the life of Folktown.
His early reforms (from -257 to -250) include the renaming of the streets,
roads, and landforms of Folktown and the surrounding region, a
re-endowment of the Folktown Arts Council from his personal treasury, the
creation of a standards body with the power to impound and destroy tainted
or low quality Baked-Goods (a reform that was for a time rather unpopular
in Folktown itself, but resulted in a rise in both the price and the quality
of the now famous Folktown brownie), the establishment of branches of many Folktown
professional organizations and institutions at first in Iganefta and later througout Ghyll,
and the creation of an advisory "Board of the Wise", with members chosen from these
organizations (so that many were Folktowners), to reside in his Iganefta court.

==== The Radical Reforms and the Grand Declaration ====

The [[Arbuckle_Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]] of -250 [[EC]] appeared to
have a profound effect on Odgar IV's attitude toward Folktown. Cynics have
noted that the Rejah's "mellowing out", his heartfelt speech and
his call for canonization of the Martyr were accompanied by his draft of
many of the barkeeps and restauranteurs responsible for the Arbuckle Hill Uprising to
officer's posts in the Folktown militia.

Later that year Odgar IV began the most radical of his Folktown-centric reforms by encouraging the construction of the extension to the [[Cataract Road]] that leads through Folktown
(by picking out the wealthiest looking attendant at his court, once per week, and
"recommending" a donation to the effort.) The same year, at his annual Folktown performance,
he announced a re-charter of the court and of parliament, presented both bodies
with charters and articles he had drafted himself, and announced the retirements
of all sitting members of both bodies and of the field marshall of the Folktown militia.
The news came as a shock to the judges and representatives. However, due to the very
generous "honoraria in recognition for years of service" awarded personally by Odgar
IV to each member of the group there was a great deal of cooperation from the outgoing officials.

In -247 [[EC]], with the completion of the Cataract Road extension, Odgar IV
began to consult with, and defer to, the new bodies in the course of
his day to day administration. Citing "the Grand Declaration" of -420 [[EC]], he
officially claimed that the source of his authority
was the court and parliament of Folktown. Of course, the new charters for both institutions
stated that Odgar IV himself, for the duration of his life, possessed the sole right
to appoint and dismiss members at will or dissolve and reform either body, and he
was also to personally hold the post of Field Marshall of the Folktown militia for life.

=== Post-Rejah Folktown ===

The absence of political crisis following Odgar IV's death in -239 [[EC]] was
remarkable. Perhaps owing in part to the manner of their ascension,
the court and parliament (and the Folktown militia) took up the reigns of
government with little fuss. The Ivian charters provided for popular elections
to Parliament and for a process of Parliament appointments to court positions,
the charters were followed without question. [[Songs_of_Odgar_The_Fourth|Daisy and Brandi]]
continued their joint administration of the Folktown Arts Council with a minimum of
bloodshed, and continued to lay the foundation for the modern [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]].

=== Modern Folktown ===

The people of Folktown can likely speak for themselves about the last two
hundred years; I have reproduced the following from the pamphlet ''Folktown!'', published
this year by the Folktown Board of Commerce and Tourism, in PCJ:

<blockquote>
<p>Recent history has seen the growth of Folktown from an honest,
hard-working farm and brownie community into a modern, industrial
(but still honest and hard-working) city.
The founding of Folktown University in -220 [[EC]] was quickly followed by
the founding of industrial giants the Folktown Steamworks Company (-199 [[EC]]),
and Alchemical Research Laboratories (-197 [[EC]]). The Folktown Commodity
Exchange first rang its opening bell in -191 [[EC]].</p>

<p>The famous Folktown court system had its second major overhaul in -179 [[EC]] in
response to the overwhelming compassion by the people of Folktown and all over Ghyll
to the death of [[Houvers|Adamantine Areola Duphine]],
resulting in the "Third Folktown Court Charter" that is the law of the land
to this day. The political change did nothing to slow the growth of the
now vibrant city. In addition to scholarship and industry, modern
Folktown also boasts an impressive [[Paramount Queen|tourist trade]],
and not one but [[EctoMechanauts|two major sites of EctoMechanaut Manufacture]],
the Ghyll Mechanician's Guild Headquarters and the Folktown Mechanoworks
Corporation. Even after [[Agony uncle|recent unfortunate events]] prompted in
a major downturn in the Charitable Brownie Market, the people, culture,
and economy of Folktown are still going strong!</p>
</blockquote>

Ghyll:Folktown

2005-06-27T19:32:15Z

Joe Bowers: "document is a contains the" -> "document contains the"

In only a bit more than 200 years, the once tiny hamlet of Folktown
has emerged a center for industry, culture, and thought.

or possibly a center for business, the arts, and scholarship.

or at least a powerful source of pollution, pretension, and
some of the finest grant writing since [[Aminfarances]].

== A Gloss of the History of Folktown ==

Due to the large number of patrons of scholarship who reside in Folktown,
the history of the community has been the subject of extremely thorough
research. The following gloss is by necessity very brief and as a result
somewhat superficial. Where appropriate, the author has taken pains to
refer the reader to more exhaustive and authoritative sources.

=== Prehistory and The X Documents ===

Archeological evidence suggests that small communities of agricultural
and toolmaking peoples were settled on and around around [[Arbuckle Hill]] as early
as -1100 [[EC]]. The earliest documentary evidence of this culture
are the puzzling "X Documents." More than two hundred of these documents are known
to still be in existence.

[[Image:Folktown-X-document.jpg]]

The above is a copy of the decorative cover of X Document 103,
currently in the private collection of [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]].
(The numerals, in red, are annotations by this scholar.) Like
all of the known X Documents, it is painted in remarkably permanent
vegetable pigments on carapace-leather, with distinctive orange
and purple blocks and common text elements. The texts of (1) and (2) are
the same for all known X Documents. The text of (2), with its character-forms
that prefigure the modern folktown common script, has been translated
by Herbertoid as "this Joy, it is activity which prepares for harvest" in
''Everything We Know about the Folktown X Documents'' or
as "We are amused, we are intent" by Herbertron in ''Herbertoid Knows Nothing about the Folktown X Documents''. The text of (1) is apparently
phonetic, in a script that has yet to be convincingly identified
or translated.

The text of (3) is written in what appears to be a degenerate
form of classical N-ary, with only a single dimension of meaning.
The numeral part varies from document to document, but the remainder of the
text is always the same. The text of Document 103 reads
"Five are out of balance" or "Five are foolish", followed by
the imperative "Find them".

Unlike the exteriors, the interior of the X Documents were
likely painted or written on wood-pulp paper, and no traces
of their contents survive today.

The most remarkable conclusion that can be drawn from these
documents is founded on the fact that the dyes used are
almost certainly manufactured from local agricultural products.
This, together with the large number of surviving
documents and the sites of their discovery,
leads scholars to believe the peoples of the region were shockingly
literate- it is likely that the surviving number of these
documents is close to or exceeds the population of the
region at any point before -800 [[EC]]!

=== Early History of the Region ===

Our knowledge of the classical history of the area
begins with the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbugghyll Map]], from
circa -700 [[EC]], which depicts a very
small community of serfs living surrounding a manor farm.

The next mention of the town, circa -640 [[EC]], is one of the rare
documents that survived the [[King Harandraff the Great|purge of Harandraff]],
and probably originated in the [[Proto-Harandraff Orthonormal Basis Set]]
{τ , ρ, φ}, the reign of the
"[[King Harandraff the Great|disunited king]]" known to modern
scholars as Proto-Harandraff ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0). The document
contains the charter for a "Free Town", the only one of its
kind known to modern scholars. [[Blivingdel|Blivingdel's]] translation of the
preamblatory first degree of the
charter (in ''Blivingdel's History of Folktown and Its Folks'')
reads simply:

<blockquote>
You Wanted it? You Got It.<br />
The fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk<br />
Don't Come Crying to me when it all blows up in your face.<br />
We and our officers wash our hands of you<br />
The city is now called<br />
By royal authority<br />
:Chump Town
(ideogrammatic seal attributed to P-H ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0))
</blockquote>

Although the charter (as was customary at the time) also
contains secondary and tertiary structures, the secondary
content is apparently a long definition of the word (rather politely)
translated by residents as "Chump", and the tertiary content
seems to be an explicit description of rather implausible
[[Ghyllian_reproduction|mating habits]], attributed variously
to "The City", "The People", and "[[Arbugghyll|The Lord of the People, Ar Bugh]]".
What prompted the issue of the charter is still a subject of much
debate amongst historians.

=== The Folktown Court ===

(This section relies extensively on Burbleson's
''Early Folktown Court Documents in Translation, -639 [[EC]] and Early -638 [[EC]]''
Volumes I through CVI)

The issue of the royal charter for the town was followed immediately
by a declaration, at town meeting, establishing "A court of common folks to to provide for the
common order, 'cause who needs that King character, anyway" (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 4),
The first act of the judges named in the declaration was the drafting the original
court charter (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 6 through Vol VI, Pg 2044).

The papers and records of the initial Folktown court are an oasis
of plenty in an otherwise parched historical landscape.
An anonymous copyist of one of the [[Odlucian Library]]'s original editions of
''Harandraff, the Greatest Guy Ever!'' editorializes that
perhaps when confronted by the quantity of documentation
an enormously verbose judiciary had produced after one
hundred and fifty years of operation,
[[King Harandraff the Great|Harandraff's]] inquisitors for historical purity chose to
forget it existed rather than spend the years that
would be required to burn it all. (It is notable that the
page containing this commentary in the margins is the last
page copied in that particular handwriting.)

The picture these records paint of Folktown from the
time of the charter through the great civil war
is detailed and rich, but unfortunately rather narrow.

One of the first cases approached by the court, and one that sheds some light
on both the depth and the limits of these documents is the case of "Baby Alek",
investigated in detail by Herringer in his
''Mick's Executioner: Origins of the Folktown Executioner's Festival''. The case
involves a pair of families, the Hambeck and Harblock clans, both claiming
parentage of the same infant.
The case was initially presented to the court in -639 [[EC]].
Testimony lasted for four days. The
court then considered the case for a full year before reaching
the preliminary verdict that the child should be cut in half
and one half should be distributed to each party of claim.
A chronology of the remainder of the court's activities with respect
to the case follows:

<ul>
<li> -638 [[EC]]: court deliberates which half should go to whom,
debates the measurement of one-half an infant.</li>
<li> -636 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary table of legal infant metrics.</li>
<li> late -636 [[EC]]: legal infant metric table rejected.</li>
<li> -632 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary executive order deciding that
the infant should be dissolved into paste with powerful
alchemical reagents and distributed by volume.</li>
<li> -630 [[EC]]: court issues charter for "The Institute for
Reactive Chemistry in Pursuit of Civil Justice", "established for the research and development
of a reagent appropriate to the flesh and exoskeleton of children 'Without undue suffering on the part of the subject.'"</li>
<li> -628 [[EC]]: IRCPCJ Bake sales spun off into "The Institute for the Fabrication of Delicious Treats in Pursuit of Civic Justice and Alchemical Research" and ladies' auxiliary.</li>
<li> -613 [[EC]]: court records receiving seven clay jars, each containing seven [[Chesix System of Measures|wurp]] of "ouchless child solvent" from the IRCPCJ. Records also state that the IRCPCJ is receiving sufficient support from the IFDTPCJAR to continue its research independently.</li>
<li> -604 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary decision covering claimant liability for residual solvent in the liquid portions of the infant received, measured by the difference between one-half the weight of the child and the weight of the received portion, minus the weight of the jars used for the purpose of distribution, assessed at the fair market value of "the actual or a similar reagent used to disolve children to paste." Court charters "The Institute for Mercantile Research in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to determine this value.</li>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: IMRPCJ issues request to the court for the definition of "A standard and negotiable measure of value" in order to complete its report.</li>
<li> -598 [[EC]]: court establishes "The Institute for Standards in Mercantile Exchange in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to issue a currency. The ISMEPJ is endowed with "two cart-loads" of delicious baked treats.</li>
<li> -590 [[EC]]: ISMEPJ submits a declaration of rejection of charter to the court. Sub-Lochree Markleson's comments on behalf of the body are recorded as "We appreciate the brownies, really, but it is the opinion of the ISMEPJ board that you people are a pack of loons." The ISMEPJ recharters itself as the Chump Town Bank, begins minting the "Chump Chip" coin backed by harvest futures.</li>
<li> -589 [[EC]]: the IMRPCJ declares that 1 wurp of ouchless child solvent is worth zero chump chips, since the act of disolving a child in acid, even ouchless acid, is in fact of negative value to individuals and to society.</li>
<li> -587 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Mick from Hillbottom" first Marshall of the court, and orders him to execute the judgement, collect and dissolve the child, appoint witnesses, and distribute the winnings to the claimant families at no cost to the claimants.</li>
<li> -580 [[EC]]: Alek Hambeck-Harblock, a prosperous farmer, dies of natural causes.</li>
<li> -579 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Dex from Hillbottom" second Marshall of the court, and issues an order for the arrest and execution of "Mick from Hillbottom" for dereliction of duty.</li>
<li> -565 [[EC]]: Mick from Hillbottom dies in a farming accident. Cornelious Junior Crunch is appointed third Marshall, charged with the arrest and execution of Dex from Hillbottom.</li>
</ul>

Findings in this case continued formally until the Ivian court reform,
and informally continue to this day as the traditional Folktown "Executioner's Festival" appointments.
(Out of towners should note that modern appointees to the post of "Mick's Executioner"
are only charged with wearing a comical hat, buying the drinks, and selecting the
appointee at the following year's festival.)

In general, before the reforms of Odgar IV, the court continued to
operate in this fashion. It continued to issue orders and found various organizations
and institutions, but apparently was otherwise ignored by the residents
of the area. In addition to founding and overseeing alchemical, baking,
econometric, and financial institutions, the court of this period established

<ul>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for the Measurement and Maintenece of Measure of Land Parcels in PCJ''' which would eventually
lead the funding, design, and construction of the Folktown Clocktower in -490 [[EC]].</li>
<li> -570 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Philosophical Research in PCJ''' which became
the [[HANDBAG|Housewives And Nannies' Debatory Banter Association of Ghyll]]</li>
<li> -560 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Wiping that Smug Grin off of Your Face in PCJ''' which became the infamous [[Morphomancy|Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy]]</li>
<li> -551 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Municipal Earth Moving Arts in PCJ''' Which
became the famous Brotherhood of Golemists, instrumental in refining golem technology
and at the center of early [[Mechanaut]] research.</li>
<li> -520 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for Standards and Decency in Pantomime in PCJ''' which would
schism to become both the Chump Town Council for the Arts and the The Order of the Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy (SUCKS).</li>
<li> -410 [[EC]]: '''The Council for the Preservation of Legislative Tradition in PCJ''' which
in turn drew the charter for our current [[Nitenmangrey]]-influenced
[[Parliament|Parliamentary traditions]], and established a formal
parliamentary body (Although at the time with no executive power whatsoever.)</li>
</ul>

The charter of each of these institutions was accompanied by the charter
of a corresponding institution to handle bake-sales for supporting the associated
organization or endevor. The court of this period also provided for the creation of what is today the Folktown militia and its associated bake-sale operations.

In -500 [[EC]], the Chump Town Bank was renamed "The Folk Town Bank", likely for reasons of credibility. Since by this time the bank was directly involved in much of the trade between the thriving but still small community and its neighbors, the name stuck, and by -450 [[EC]] the community was known to the outside world as "Folktown".

In -420 [[EC]], the (now Folktown) court issued a declaration which at the time was thought
of as typical silliness, but which would have far reaching implications. Citing the
cycle-clause from the Chump Town Charter "the fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk",
and reasoning that not just the town but all of Ghyll was populated by folks, the court
declared that "this court's ruling knows no formal or informal border, and it resolves
to adjudicate, and through its executive to act, on petitions from all folk in all places."

At the time of what would later be called "the Grand Declaration" there had not been
a petition to rule set before the court in over one hundred years. The declaration
was dismissed as hyperbole by the residents of the hamlet, and as insanity by those
few outside of town who happened to note its issue. Copyist's commentary aside,
scholars are uncertain whether news of this declaration ever reached the ears of
[[King Harandraff the Great]] or his courtiers.

=== Folktown in the Golden Age ===

At the end of the [[Bute University|great civil war]] in -390 [[EC]],
the life of the small community of Folktown was still very similar to
the life in neighboring farming communities. While the small size,
the independent traditions of the community, and its easily visible clock tower
shielded the region from the
[[Cartographer's Nerves|potentially catastrophic geographic effects of the revolution]], The economic panic accompanying
the war caused the collapse of the Folk Town Bank and ended Folktown's role
as a center of finance. The town
boasted only a court council that most considered a collection of harmless cranks
and variety of research and philanthropic organizations, few of which had very
broad effects or implications for the average resident beyond the easy
availability of low cost brownies from increasingly competitive charity bake sales.
Indeed, saturation in the brownie market is what many scholars believe led to the fairly
poor record of success for most of the "in PCJ" organizations chartered
by the court after -400 [[EC]]. While the golden age of Ghyll marched
on through the 300's, Folktown was largely left behind.

The "space rock" disaster in -306 [[EC]] marked the an important turning
point for this peaceful, if eccentric, village. The seemingly random death
of fifteen children playing in Stockwood field, the site of the space rock impact,
prompted Arthir Jhostings to publish his breakthrough paper on [[Cataclysmatology]],
and began to attract the attention of the scholars and (more importantly) the students
of [[Bute University]] to the town. Also, in mourning, the Folktown Arts
Council established an annual of public music performance in memory of the
lost children. These "rock concerts," initially featuring local musicians
singing sad ballads, soon began to attract more qualified and diverse
performers with the promise of easy crowds and cheap brownies.

Many years later, the two processes set in motion by the grim catalyst
of the disaster would reach a high point with the -275 [[EC]] Stockwood Music Festival. The
festival, organized by the Folktown Arts Council, was presented
on the same field where the disaster had occurred, and featured 32 of the most
popular musical acts of the era over three summer days. The organizers
planned for an attendance of 2500 people (an attendance count considered
"overly optimistic" by some members of the FAC.) Current estimates of
actual attendance are above 10,000 souls, including the entire student
body Bute University. The number of brownies purchased from various
folktown organizations over those three days likely exceeded the combined sales
of the preceding six years. When the smoke cleared, Folktown's organizations
were wealthy and Folktown's reputation as a center of arts and culture was
legend. The Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy were appalled,
and their reaction began a radicalizing of the order that would lead to
the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]]. The expense of providing for
the crowd bankrupted the Folktown Arts Council. Over half of the university
students in attendance did not return to the Bute University campus and
settled together with the farming and baking folk of the town.

One of the students who was in attendance but did not settle in town
was a young [[Odgar IV]].

=== the IVian Reforms ===

in -263 [[EC]], the third year of the Ivian Rejah, Odgar IV returned to folktown
to attend the memorial concert. The concerts at this time were much smaller
than the Stockwood "phenomenon" of '74, owing to the still almost-insolvent state
of the Folktown Arts Council combined with the growing activism of the Sisters of
Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy,
and the Rejah commented disappointment to his historian (at this time the historian
was retained by Odgar IV himself out of his own private funds, as the renown
and power of Odgar IV was still in line with the standard level of any other anonymous
Iganefta neighborhood rejah.) After the concert, however, Odgar IV had the opportunity
to observe the Folktown court and parliament in deliberation, and see the effects
of the now once again thriving institutions surrounding them.

The large body of relatively well educated
but un-credentialled (and therefore inexpensive) labor made up of the
Bute Drop-outs, combined with the massive influx of cash resulting from
the brownie sales bonanza, had sparked a renessance within the various
research institutes and councils of the town. Odgar IV actually met and had drinks
with a young Mek Meckton and Dirk Blood-Skull-Saint Monsterface, whose
pioneering directorships of the Brotherhood of Golemists and the
Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy respectively would later become legend.
He also had the opportunity to debate at length the role of public musical performance
in moral community life with an unnamed Sister of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy
(some folk traditions claim that this sister was the woman who would
in death be known as Sister Ursula Sandwich, although this is extremely unlikely in fact.)

In ''His Last Name is "Danger": A Memoir of Odgar IV'',
Odgar IV's historian would record:
<blockquote>
<p>By the time we left, his disappointment had turned to
a sharp, uncharacteristic excitement. On the road back to [[Iganefta]],
he dictated an account of his meetings and observations for almost an
hour, all the while munching brownies from a bag. It is the only time I ever saw the
great Rejah talk with his mouth full. Finally, I protested.</p>

<p>"The Great and Grand Rejah," I said, "It is said that to a fool,
all the wisdom of the wise is as the ravings of madmen. It may be
then what this fool heard from each and every person we spoke with
were words of wisdom."</p>

<p>The Rejah replied: "In the last three days I have spoken with
27 people. Three were madmen, three were senile, four were dreamers,
three were con men, two were salesmen, four were farmers, two were beggars,
two were drunk, one was a zelot,
one was psychotic, and two were children. None treated me with
respect due to my station."</p>

<p>"But not one, not '''one''' of these people mispronounced my name."</p>
</blockquote>

Odgar IV would maintain a deep interest in Folktown from that day until
his untimely death. During the next 24 years of the he would regularly
intervene in the life of Folktown, by decree, through [[Rejah|rejah decision]],
and through other means. He also arranged to perform there publically each year for the
remainder of his life at the memorial music festival, although he never performed
any of his own compositions on these occasions.

==== Early Ivian Reforms ====

By -257 [[EC]] Odgar IV's power and influence throughout Ghyll
were great enough for him to begin to act directly in the life of Folktown.
His early reforms (from -257 to -250) include the renaming of the streets,
roads, and landforms of Folktown and the surrounding region, a
re-endowment of the Folktown Arts Council from his personal treasury, the
creation of a standards body with the power to impound and destroy tainted
or low quality Baked-Goods (a reform that was for a time rather unpopular
in Folktown itself, but resulted in a rise in both the price and the quality
of the now famous Folktown brownie), the establishment of branches of many Folktown
professional organizations and institutions at first in Iganefta and later througout Ghyll,
and the creation of an advisory "Board of the Wise", with members chosen from these
organizations (so that many were Folktowners), to reside in his Iganefta court.

==== The Radical Reforms and the Grand Declaration ====

The [[Arbuckle_Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]] of -250 [[EC]] appeared to
have a profound effect on Odgar IV's attitude toward Folktown. Cynics have
noted that the Rejah's "mellowing out", his heartfelt speech and
his call for canonization of the Martyr were accompanied by his draft of
many of the barkeeps and restauranteurs responsible for the Arbuckle Hill Uprising to
officer's posts in the Folktown militia.

Later that year Odgar IV began the most radical of his Folktown-centric reforms by encouraging the construction of the extension to the [[Cataract Road]] that leads through Folktown
(by picking out the wealthiest looking attendant at his court, once per week, and
"recommending" a donation to the effort.) The same year, at his annual Folktown performance,
he announced a re-charter of the court and of parliament, presented both bodies
with charters and articles he had drafted himself, and announced the retirements
of all sitting members of both bodies and of the field marshall of the Folktown militia.
The news came as a shock to the judges and representatives. However, due to the very
generous "honoraria in recognition for years of service" awarded personally by Odgar
IV to each member of the group there was a great deal of cooperation from the outgoing officials.

In -247 [[EC]], with the completion of the Cataract Road extension, Odgar IV
began to consult with, and defer to, the new bodies in the course of
his day to day administration. Citing "the Grand Declaration" of -420 [[EC]], he
officially claimed that the source of his authority
was the court and parliament of Folktown. Of course, the new charters for both institutions
stated that Odgar IV himself, for the duration of his life, possessed the sole right
to appoint and dismiss members at will or dissolve and reform either body, and he
was also to personally hold the post of Field Marshall of the Folktown militia for life.

=== Post-Rejah Folktown ===

The absence of political crisis following Odgar IV's death in -239 [[EC]] was
remarkable. Perhaps owing in part to the manner of their ascension,
the court and parliament (and the Folktown militia) took up the reigns of
government with little fuss. The Ivian charters provided for popular elections
to Parliament and for a process of Parliament appointments to court positions,
the charters were followed without question. [[Songs_of_Odgar_The_Fourth|Daisy and Brandi]]
continued their joint administration of the Folktown Arts Council with a minimum of
bloodshed, and continued to lay the foundation for the modern [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]].

=== Modern Folktown ===

The people of Folktown can likely speak for themselves about the last two
hundred years; I have reproduced the following from the pamphlet ''Folktown!'', published
this year by the Folktown Board of Commerce and Tourism, in PCJ:

<blockquote>
<p>Recent history has seen the growth of Folktown from an honest,
hard-working farm and brownie community into a modern, industrial
(but still honest and hard-working) city.
The founding of Folktown University in -220 [[EC]] was quickly followed by
the founding of industrial giants the Folktown Steamworks Company (-199 [[EC]]),
and Alchemical Research Laboratories (-197 [[EC]]). The Folktown Commodity
Exchange first rang its opening bell in -191 [[EC]].</p>

<p>The famous Folktown court system had its second major overhaul in -179 [[EC]] in
response to the overwhelming compassion by the people of Folktown and all over Ghyll
to the death of [[Houvers|Adamantine Areola Duphine]],
resulting in the "Third Folktown Court Charter" that is the law of the land
to this day. The political change did nothing to slow the growth of the
now vibrant city. In addition to scholarship and industry, modern
Folktown also boasts an impressive [[Paramount Queen|tourist trade]],
and not one but [[EctoMechanauts|two major sites of EctoMechanaut Manufacture]],
the Ghyll Mechanician's Guild Headquarters and the Folktown Mechanoworks
Corporation. Even after [[Agony uncle|recent unfortunate events]] prompted in
a major downturn in the Charitable Brownie Market, the people, culture,
and economy of Folktown are still going strong!</p>
</blockquote>

Ghyll talk:Folktown

2005-06-27T19:31:07Z

Joe Bowers: Thanks for your patience, everybody

A list of Folktown facts, quotations, and references as of the end of Round 1, collected here for the convenience of whoever dibs Folktown eventually. --[[User:Jcowan|John Cowan]] 13:02, 23 Apr 2005 (EDT)

The [[Folktown Records]] is a newspaper published in [[Folktown]] every Ulfsday. [...] The ''Folktown Records'' occupies a suite of rooms on the sixth floor of the so-called "Waffle-Iron Building" (named for its shape) in downtown [[Folktown]]. [...] The ''Folktown Records'' also runs poetry and fiction, some of it written by the staff, but a good deal of it by unpaid contributors who either live in [[Folktown]] and its environs or else are considered by the staff to be especially talented. The ''Folktown Records'' is considered a newspaper of record by the Folktown courts, and consequently is printed entirely on acid-free high-quality [[darseed]]-pulp stock.

[Note: I've omitted hits on "Folktown Records" from the rest of this list.]]

The [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]] meet once a week at the [[Folktown]] Amphitheatre to discuss matters of import, to eat and drink, and sometimes to perform. [...] The group performs many acts of charitable work, providing many civic improvements including recently a well-received collection of statues of the controversially mysterious [[Alezan pantheon]] installed in the frontage of the Folktown city council building as part of recent renovation.

[[HANDBAG]] has a Folktown chapter.

The declaration [of handing newly discovered knowledge over to the BORK]—which must be given by the current president of The Bureau at the [[Folktown]] Town Square in front of an assemblage of current employees, the mayor of Folktown, and the general public—has turned into an annual fête, with stands, bunting, games, and fun galore.

[[Bavarian Creame]] met her first husband ([[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood|Claude, now Baron, Smallwood]]) as part of the [[Folktown]] social season. [...] They were famously married in the middle of the renowned Grand Mall, the gardened pedestrian driveway that stretches between the [[Folktown Council Hall]] and the Folktown Amphitheatre. After their marriage, her career rapidly progressed. She became a Core Advisor to (then) Mayor Hew Loan and served at that rank in a number of offices. She was perceived as Mayor Loan's 'troubleshooter' and was widely viewed as responsible for preventing the destruction of museums, jobs and even preventing several wars. When she inherited her father's title and became Lady Smallwood, her succession to the post of mayor seemed inevitable as high society's golden goose.

Unfortunately, it appeared that her success in managing the subtleties of society weren't matched by equal success with her private life. Two years after becoming Mayoress of [[Folktown]], she and her husband separated.

Two years after her divorce from Baron Smallwood, she astonished society by announcing her impending marriage to Sir Bartholemew Sinch. [...] Their wedding was a private affair held in the Folktown Amphitheatre [...] His ashes were scattered over the Grand Mall ("the preened ground from which he served his land so well" as Mayoress Sinch put it in her eulogy) a week after Siam was born.

Most people in Ghyll take [[Bindlet Ball]] ''very'' seriously, with team allegiances even influencing politics. The most famous example of this came in -38 {{EC}}, surrounding the [[Folktown]] Mayoral election. Although it was a foregone conclusion that the incumbent mayor was going to win, three nights before the election he was overheard expressing a preference for the Egron Eagles, the team from a neighboring city. Although he vociferously denied making the statements, his political opponent, a convicted felon, member of the [[Darvekian Party]], and frequent puppy kicker, won the election easily, with 97% of the popular vote. Incidentally, although the man who claimed to have overheard these statements was later found to have been incarcerated in Egron at the time of the alleged incident, the former mayor was never able to win another political position, and the allegations haunt him to this day.

After 16 years of research in [[Folktown]] University, [[User:Talliesin|Talliesin]] completed his doctoral thesis "To say or not, an exploration of etiquette with particular focus of whether you should let a woman know her underwear is showing or that her clothes are practically transparent when the light is right". Two years later he sued the University and they reluctantly handed him his doctorate. It was however clear that he would not become a professor and his academic career was destroyed.

In the year -37 {{EC}}, a short, sharp battle was held on the [[Plain of Brahang]] between two mercenary squadrons allegedly employed by [[Bysted Timperton]] and [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood|Baron Smallwood]] over the possession of a precious [[Aelfants|Aelfant]] coprolith, or petrified dung-ball. During a hand-to-hand struggle between the opposing merc captains, the coprolith unfortunately fractured, making possession of it moot. The battle was abandoned in mutual disgust; lawsuits over the contingency fees are still pending in the courts of [[Folktown]].

[T]he mere act of scattering a text with such terms as "alleged", or of attributing opinions to others, does not constitute an affirmative defense against libel suits in the [[Folktown]] courts.

The ancient hamlet of Cranee [...] is situated directly between the [[Evesque Valley]] and [[Folktown]].

[[Cataract Road]] stretches across most of known Ghyll, from the northernmost [[Evesque Valley]], to Cranee then [[Folktown]], and eventually meets the southernmost city of [[Iganefta]].

Recent discoveries have led many to believe that the unfortunate retardation of 18 year old [[Daniel Mboya]] may have been a first, but failed, attempt on his life. While no physical evidence remains of his "unfortunate accident" at the -7 {{EC}} fair outside of Folktown, several folks have come forward with memories of Daniel "angrily shouting about his breakup with Niala" and how "he'll show them."

Every major city has their own [[Calends Gala]], but these tend to be poorly attended, with most people travelling to Folktown for the big Gala there.

The contrasts of [the darseed judging] are captured best in the famous painting of the [[darseed]] farmer, dressed in his brightly colored clothes, complete with the four-tassled hat and false nose, sitting morosely on his bales of produce, to which is attached a yellow note proclaiming a score of 3, shedding bitter tears into his brightly gloved hands. (The artist responsible for this painting is not known. The painting is currently in the Fine Art Museum in Folktown, under extended loan from the anonymous owner of the work.) [...] In some outlying regions, it is regularly reported that [[Pyxie]]s arrive in time for the [[Fefferberry]] wine contest, although it has been many years since they have been seen in Folktown. [...] The new Author Laureate may live in the Laureate House in Folktown for the following six-month, until the next [[Calends Gala]], if this is desired.

[[Cadaver, The|The Cadaver]] serves such items as [[Ball Lightning Liqueur]], light and dark beers, as well as being one of the few places in [[Folktown]] to serve the best [[Adlorst Vinifera]] vintages and the worst, cheapest rosés.

If one met [[User:Sh1mmer|Despicable Shimmy]] on the street one would be unlikely to recognise him as such. Although considered one of the best and brightest, of his era, drugs and alcohol have seemingly rotted his brain. He is mostly found wandering around the streets of [[Folktown]] or in [[Cadaver, The|The Cadaver]] clutching his precious encyclopedia and muttering to himself.

On the outskirts of [[Folktown]], one can find the Charterhouse Estate, currently home to [[Godfroi Hasawithe]], the owner of the [[Charterhouse Collection]], which has become known in [[occultologists|occultologist]] circles as the most famous collection of Occult Lore.

[[Doggerel plague]] "swept" through parts of Ghyll in -11 {{EC}}, originating somewhere south of [[Iganefta]], and moving northwards through [[Folktown]], Sejfield, Cranee, and the southern parts of the [[Evesque Valley]].

EctoMechanauts are forged in Folktown.

It is traditional for the [[Day of Champions]] game to always be held at the Folktown Hyperbolic Bindlet Ball Arena, being the largest arena of any in the Ghyllian League. [...] The Folktown Council organises a parade of jesters, muses, and other chaotic persons as entertainment. [...] At the end of the day, there is a traditional feast where the members of the Folktown Council are bound to serve all comers from a large array of bay marees. Huge quantities of [[Adlorst Vinifera|Adlorst wine]] are consumed, making the following day somewhat of an ordeal for most. This time of servitude presents some special risks to the members of the Council: at last count, there have been eleven assassinations at these end-of-day events. The most notable was when [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood|Baron Smallwood’s]] uncle, [[Iain Underholm Smallwood]], was attacked by an unidentified assailant who sprayed his victim with [[Adlorst Vinifera|Adlorst wine]] and then threw [[Ball Lightning Liqueur]] over him. The resulting conflagration caused [[Iain Underholm Smallwood|Iain Smallwood]] to melt in front of bystanders, and the assassin avoided capture (it may only be coincidence that the next issue of the [[Folktown Records]] was its best selling ever - so much so that a second and third printing were required.)

The town of [[Egron]] is located northeast of [[Folktown]], east of the town of Sejfeld. [Bits from a report:] This reporter was present last week at the [[Folktown Council Hall]] and watched the following story unravel. [...] 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) [...]

Since then, [[Vemish]] has been found in the footers of a number of minor incidents throughout the greater area surrounding [[Folktown]], and is often the scapegoat when things go wrong [...].

[[EctoMechanauts]] are the primary product line of Folktown Mechanoworks Corporation, a [[Folktown]] company of golemists, mechanicians and engineers. [...] There have also been other, alleged, uses of "fully functional" EctoMechanauts in some of the more exotic brothels of Folktown. [...] It has been rumored that the former Mayor of Folktown, [[Bavarian Creame|Lady Bavarian Magdelene Creame (formerly Sinch, formerly Smallwood, neé Wallinger)]], serves each organization [FMC and GMG] secretly, using her political connections to help them maintain their relative positions in the economic world.

[[Godfroi Hasawithe]] is a wealthy [[Folktown]] investor and businessman, now retired. [...]
Hasawithe was born in [[Folktown]] of obscure parentage. He went to [[Iganefta]] to work for [[Baron James Horkmanifester]] where he learned and followed Horkmanifester's investment rules. Hasawithe returned to [[Folktown]] in -47 {{EC}} and started his own investment partnership, putting in his own money and raising additional investments from friends and family.

When they're not working hard on the Ghyll Encyclopedia, the Ghyll scholars often turn their attention to the staff game known as [[Gerth]]. Played in Cunningham Hall in [[Folktown]], Gerth is an "alternative collaborative lexicon" containing a fictional account of what the Ghyll scholars might be getting up to if they lived on a different planet.

The [[Houvers]] are a group of angry divorced men who formed a revolutionary group in -185 [[EC]] as a response to the [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]], who they considered to be "a bunch of panty-waists who just want to play dress-up!" [...] Their anger and frustration took on a political bent after a performance by the [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]]. It seems a play, of sorts, was put on calling for a change in [[Folktown]] leadership. Of course, a very liberal-minded member of the [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]] was suggested as the replacement. That would have been fine, but for the fact that she was the former wife of Maximilian Gustavus Grande, the de facto leader of the Houvers. [...] The ultimate result was that Adamantine Areola Duphine, Maximilian's former wife, was not elected the Mayor of [[Folktown]], but remained an otherwise obscure bit player in the [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]] productions until she eventually took her own life.

In -45 [[EC]], the [[Harrabloon Bank]] successfully lobbied the Folktown Council to have a ''Bank Holiday'' proclaimed. The motivation for this holiday was to increase the number of people who came to the town markets on that particular Ulfsday. The increased trade was expected to lead to increased takings at the bank the following Varhookan. Whether the increased takings occurred is known only to officials of the bank. The holiday on Ulfsday 8th Darwina has stayed with us and remains a big market day for [[Folktown]].

Born the son of poor household domestics who emigrated from [[Folktown]] to [[Iganefta]]-on-the-Sea in -63 [[EC]], when little [[Johnny Lightning|Johan]] was just three years old, Johnny grew up with great luxury just out of reach. [...] Most days he and Jimmy can be found sipping very strong [[Umlaut Tea|umlaut tea]] at the [[Folktown]] Social Club in [[Iganefta]]-on-the-Sea. Johnny keeps an office there and, rumor has it, he even has an illegal whist game there every week. The "Grand [[Hive-Lord]] of the [[Iganefta]] Back Market", as the fine editors at the [[Folktown Records]] have dubbed him, is often found dispensing sage advice to the younger members of the [[Iganefta]] underworld, however, all of Johnny's money comes through one of his regular businesses. Most of which have to do with the creation, transportation or maintenance of [[EctoMechanauts]], though he also deals in imports to and from [[Folktown]] as well as at least one fine restraunt, and, of course, the Social Club itself.

There is a community bulletin board outside the Folktown Council Hall.

See [http://gamegrene.com/wiki/User:DrAckroyd/RPG#Plot_5:_Folktown_Showdown] for fiction about Folktown.

After retiring from the Bureau, [[Rancticirchiretic]] subsequently moved to [[Folktown]] to work with the great academians there.

[[Rater Goldfish]] was a [[Modern Standard Ghyllian]] professor and [[Bindlet Ball]] coach at the San Sebastian's First School of [[Folktown]].

''[[The Songs of Odgar The Fourth]]'' is still in print, and is currently being published by the same Grommie family newsgroup that prints the [[Iganefta Recorder]], whose publishing facility mysteriously and surprisingly moved to [[Folktown]] last week.

The Wallinger family now uses only the outermost twenty or so rooms in the South wing of [[Undivaggen]], which provide more than sufficient facilities for the extended family during the annual Wallinger/Vallinger/Vallian/Yekhoto reunions. These rooms were lovingly restored, after a long period of neglect, by [[Bavarian Creame]] and her younger sisters, [[Hack And The Jacks|Jack Juffers]] and [[Madam Calvian]] of Folktown.

[[Vlorm]]s of lesser quality are made right in our very own [[Folktown]] [...] The first known use of a vlorm in the greater [[Folktown]] area was, of course, as part of an [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]] performance at the [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]] one warm Conti evening in -185 [[EC]].

We do know that in -172 [[EC]], the first [[wormwood]] was "grown" and harvested in the greater [[Folktown]] area.

[[Whostley]] was born in -72 [[EC]] and studied at San Sebastian's First School of [[Folktown]] where he first met his hero.

The local authorities of [[Folktown]] and [[Iganefta]], as well as their more rustic counterparts elsewhere, consider [[Wadjidir]] to be mere [[criminals]], hardly better than smash-and-grab artists or second-story men.

Old [[Xlardamnf]] is a mysterious figure who seemed to spring forth fully-formed in [[Folktown]] just about the same time as the infamous [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]] [[vlorm]] performance at the [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]] in -185 [[EC]]. [...] What is known for sure is that Xlardamnf circulated pamphlets filled with esoteric wisdom from the [[Xurient]] and that he dispensed from the [[Stone of Wisdom]] at the center of [[Folktown]]. [...] It was to this high perch that Xlardamnf's followers gathered, snorting thier [[vlorm]]s and chanting against the [[Conflict That Is Not Happening]] with slogans of "[[Darseed|Darseed Flower]] Power" and "[[Ghyllian reproduction|Make Whelps]], Not War". Naturally, this led some of the more "conservative" political carousers of [[Folktown]] to react quite strongly many times.

The [[Paramount Queen]] ceremony has been held in Folktown since the mid -80s.

There is some debate about where in [[Folktown]] the first [[yarding]] began, but, since it is currently launched in the beer garden of the [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]], it is believed to have originated there with the infamous [[Houvers]].

But [[Meldersen]]'s place in popular culture has been forever secured by his coining of the axiom "It's downside up!" which [...] has since become a near-daily ritual among the leaders of the youth phenomenon commonly and journalistically known as the [[Great Awakening]], under cover of which the rising generation in [[Folktown]] and even [[Iganefta]] [...] justify themselves for their chronic overindulgence in [[Ghyllian reproduction|sex]], drugs, and the curious form or genre of music known to them as [[quiver'n'bend]].

The Folktown Periodicals Archive and Resource is a prominent source of recorded knowledge, though not rivalling the [[Odlucian Library]].

The Folktown Flergit Beasts were leaders of the [[Evesque Valley]] [[Hoopkah]] club in -4, -2, and -1 [[EC]].

Rhajoon [[Quezlar family|Quezlar]] 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]].

Ghyll:Folktown

2005-06-27T19:25:23Z

Joe Bowers: busted link. Thanks to everybody for the editing help- this was a bit rushed to the deadline!

In only a bit more than 200 years, the once tiny hamlet of Folktown
has emerged a center for industry, culture, and thought.

or possibly a center for business, the arts, and scholarship.

or at least a powerful source of pollution, pretension, and
some of the finest grant writing since [[Aminfarances]].

== A Gloss of the History of Folktown ==

Due to the large number of patrons of scholarship who reside in Folktown,
the history of the community has been the subject of extremely thorough
research. The following gloss is by necessity very brief and as a result
somewhat superficial. Where appropriate, the author has taken pains to
refer the reader to more exhaustive and authoritative sources.

=== Prehistory and The X Documents ===

Archeological evidence suggests that small communities of agricultural
and toolmaking peoples were settled on and around around [[Arbuckle Hill]] as early
as -1100 [[EC]]. The earliest documentary evidence of this culture
are the puzzling "X Documents." More than two hundred of these documents are known
to still be in existence.

[[Image:Folktown-X-document.jpg]]

The above is a copy of the decorative cover of X Document 103,
currently in the private collection of [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]].
(The numerals, in red, are annotations by this scholar.) Like
all of the known X Documents, it is painted in remarkably permanent
vegetable pigments on carapace-leather, with distinctive orange
and purple blocks and common text elements. The texts of (1) and (2) are
the same for all known X Documents. The text of (2), with its character-forms
that prefigure the modern folktown common script, has been translated
by Herbertoid as "this Joy, it is activity which prepares for harvest" in
''Everything We Know about the Folktown X Documents'' or
as "We are amused, we are intent" by Herbertron in ''Herbertoid Knows Nothing about the Folktown X Documents''. The text of (1) is apparently
phonetic, in a script that has yet to be convincingly identified
or translated.

The text of (3) is written in what appears to be a degenerate
form of classical N-ary, with only a single dimension of meaning.
The numeral part varies from document to document, but the remainder of the
text is always the same. The text of Document 103 reads
"Five are out of balance" or "Five are foolish", followed by
the imperative "Find them".

Unlike the exteriors, the interior of the X Documents were
likely painted or written on wood-pulp paper, and no traces
of their contents survive today.

The most remarkable conclusion that can be drawn from these
documents is founded on the fact that the dyes used are
almost certainly manufactured from local agricultural products.
This, together with the large number of surviving
documents and the sites of their discovery,
leads scholars to believe the peoples of the region were shockingly
literate- it is likely that the surviving number of these
documents is close to or exceeds the population of the
region at any point before -800 [[EC]]!

=== Early History of the Region ===

Our knowledge of the classical history of the area
begins with the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbugghyll Map]], from
circa -700 [[EC]], which depicts a very
small community of serfs living surrounding a manor farm.

The next mention of the town, circa -640 [[EC]], is one of the rare
documents that survived the [[King Harandraff the Great|purge of Harandraff]],
and probably originated in the [[Proto-Harandraff Orthonormal Basis Set]]
{τ , ρ, φ}, the reign of the
"[[King Harandraff the Great|disunited king]]" known to modern
scholars as Proto-Harandraff ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0). The document is a
contains the charter for a "Free Town", the only one of its
kind known to modern scholars. [[Blivingdel|Blivingdel's]] translation of the
preamblatory first degree of the
charter (in ''Blivingdel's History of Folktown and Its Folks'')
reads simply:

<blockquote>
You Wanted it? You Got It.<br />
The fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk<br />
Don't Come Crying to me when it all blows up in your face.<br />
We and our officers wash our hands of you<br />
The city is now called<br />
By royal authority<br />
:Chump Town
(ideogrammatic seal attributed to P-H ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0))
</blockquote>

Although the charter (as was customary at the time) also
contains secondary and tertiary structures, the secondary
content is apparently a long definition of the word (rather politely)
translated by residents as "Chump", and the tertiary content
seems to be an explicit description of rather implausible
[[Ghyllian_reproduction|mating habits]], attributed variously
to "The City", "The People", and "[[Arbugghyll|The Lord of the People, Ar Bugh]]".
What prompted the issue of the charter is still a subject of much
debate amongst historians.

=== The Folktown Court ===

(This section relies extensively on Burbleson's
''Early Folktown Court Documents in Translation, -639 [[EC]] and Early -638 [[EC]]''
Volumes I through CVI)

The issue of the royal charter for the town was followed immediately
by a declaration, at town meeting, establishing "A court of common folks to to provide for the
common order, 'cause who needs that King character, anyway" (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 4),
The first act of the judges named in the declaration was the drafting the original
court charter (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 6 through Vol VI, Pg 2044).

The papers and records of the initial Folktown court are an oasis
of plenty in an otherwise parched historical landscape.
An anonymous copyist of one of the [[Odlucian Library]]'s original editions of
''Harandraff, the Greatest Guy Ever!'' editorializes that
perhaps when confronted by the quantity of documentation
an enormously verbose judiciary had produced after one
hundred and fifty years of operation,
[[King Harandraff the Great|Harandraff's]] inquisitors for historical purity chose to
forget it existed rather than spend the years that
would be required to burn it all. (It is notable that the
page containing this commentary in the margins is the last
page copied in that particular handwriting.)

The picture these records paint of Folktown from the
time of the charter through the great civil war
is detailed and rich, but unfortunately rather narrow.

One of the first cases approached by the court, and one that sheds some light
on both the depth and the limits of these documents is the case of "Baby Alek",
investigated in detail by Herringer in his
''Mick's Executioner: Origins of the Folktown Executioner's Festival''. The case
involves a pair of families, the Hambeck and Harblock clans, both claiming
parentage of the same infant.
The case was initially presented to the court in -639 [[EC]].
Testimony lasted for four days. The
court then considered the case for a full year before reaching
the preliminary verdict that the child should be cut in half
and one half should be distributed to each party of claim.
A chronology of the remainder of the court's activities with respect
to the case follows:

<ul>
<li> -638 [[EC]]: court deliberates which half should go to whom,
debates the measurement of one-half an infant.</li>
<li> -636 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary table of legal infant metrics.</li>
<li> late -636 [[EC]]: legal infant metric table rejected.</li>
<li> -632 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary executive order deciding that
the infant should be dissolved into paste with powerful
alchemical reagents and distributed by volume.</li>
<li> -630 [[EC]]: court issues charter for "The Institute for
Reactive Chemistry in Pursuit of Civil Justice", "established for the research and development
of a reagent appropriate to the flesh and exoskeleton of children 'Without undue suffering on the part of the subject.'"</li>
<li> -628 [[EC]]: IRCPCJ Bake sales spun off into "The Institute for the Fabrication of Delicious Treats in Pursuit of Civic Justice and Alchemical Research" and ladies' auxiliary.</li>
<li> -613 [[EC]]: court records receiving seven clay jars, each containing seven [[Chesix System of Measures|wurp]] of "ouchless child solvent" from the IRCPCJ. Records also state that the IRCPCJ is receiving sufficient support from the IFDTPCJAR to continue its research independently.</li>
<li> -604 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary decision covering claimant liability for residual solvent in the liquid portions of the infant received, measured by the difference between one-half the weight of the child and the weight of the received portion, minus the weight of the jars used for the purpose of distribution, assessed at the fair market value of "the actual or a similar reagent used to disolve children to paste." Court charters "The Institute for Mercantile Research in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to determine this value.</li>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: IMRPCJ issues request to the court for the definition of "A standard and negotiable measure of value" in order to complete its report.</li>
<li> -598 [[EC]]: court establishes "The Institute for Standards in Mercantile Exchange in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to issue a currency. The ISMEPJ is endowed with "two cart-loads" of delicious baked treats.</li>
<li> -590 [[EC]]: ISMEPJ submits a declaration of rejection of charter to the court. Sub-Lochree Markleson's comments on behalf of the body are recorded as "We appreciate the brownies, really, but it is the opinion of the ISMEPJ board that you people are a pack of loons." The ISMEPJ recharters itself as the Chump Town Bank, begins minting the "Chump Chip" coin backed by harvest futures.</li>
<li> -589 [[EC]]: the IMRPCJ declares that 1 wurp of ouchless child solvent is worth zero chump chips, since the act of disolving a child in acid, even ouchless acid, is in fact of negative value to individuals and to society.</li>
<li> -587 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Mick from Hillbottom" first Marshall of the court, and orders him to execute the judgement, collect and dissolve the child, appoint witnesses, and distribute the winnings to the claimant families at no cost to the claimants.</li>
<li> -580 [[EC]]: Alek Hambeck-Harblock, a prosperous farmer, dies of natural causes.</li>
<li> -579 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Dex from Hillbottom" second Marshall of the court, and issues an order for the arrest and execution of "Mick from Hillbottom" for dereliction of duty.</li>
<li> -565 [[EC]]: Mick from Hillbottom dies in a farming accident. Cornelious Junior Crunch is appointed third Marshall, charged with the arrest and execution of Dex from Hillbottom.</li>
</ul>

Findings in this case continued formally until the Ivian court reform,
and informally continue to this day as the traditional Folktown "Executioner's Festival" appointments.
(Out of towners should note that modern appointees to the post of "Mick's Executioner"
are only charged with wearing a comical hat, buying the drinks, and selecting the
appointee at the following year's festival.)

In general, before the reforms of Odgar IV, the court continued to
operate in this fashion. It continued to issue orders and found various organizations
and institutions, but apparently was otherwise ignored by the residents
of the area. In addition to founding and overseeing alchemical, baking,
econometric, and financial institutions, the court of this period established

<ul>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for the Measurement and Maintenece of Measure of Land Parcels in PCJ''' which would eventually
lead the funding, design, and construction of the Folktown Clocktower in -490 [[EC]].</li>
<li> -570 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Philosophical Research in PCJ''' which became
the [[HANDBAG|Housewives And Nannies' Debatory Banter Association of Ghyll]]</li>
<li> -560 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Wiping that Smug Grin off of Your Face in PCJ''' which became the infamous [[Morphomancy|Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy]]</li>
<li> -551 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Municipal Earth Moving Arts in PCJ''' Which
became the famous Brotherhood of Golemists, instrumental in refining golem technology
and at the center of early [[Mechanaut]] research.</li>
<li> -520 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for Standards and Decency in Pantomime in PCJ''' which would
schism to become both the Chump Town Council for the Arts and the The Order of the Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy (SUCKS).</li>
<li> -410 [[EC]]: '''The Council for the Preservation of Legislative Tradition in PCJ''' which
in turn drew the charter for our current [[Nitenmangrey]]-influenced
[[Parliament|Parliamentary traditions]], and established a formal
parliamentary body (Although at the time with no executive power whatsoever.)</li>
</ul>

The charter of each of these institutions was accompanied by the charter
of a corresponding institution to handle bake-sales for supporting the associated
organization or endevor. The court of this period also provided for the creation of what is today the Folktown militia and its associated bake-sale operations.

In -500 [[EC]], the Chump Town Bank was renamed "The Folk Town Bank", likely for reasons of credibility. Since by this time the bank was directly involved in much of the trade between the thriving but still small community and its neighbors, the name stuck, and by -450 [[EC]] the community was known to the outside world as "Folktown".

In -420 [[EC]], the (now Folktown) court issued a declaration which at the time was thought
of as typical silliness, but which would have far reaching implications. Citing the
cycle-clause from the Chump Town Charter "the fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk",
and reasoning that not just the town but all of Ghyll was populated by folks, the court
declared that "this court's ruling knows no formal or informal border, and it resolves
to adjudicate, and through its executive to act, on petitions from all folk in all places."

At the time of what would later be called "the Grand Declaration" there had not been
a petition to rule set before the court in over one hundred years. The declaration
was dismissed as hyperbole by the residents of the hamlet, and as insanity by those
few outside of town who happened to note its issue. Copyist's commentary aside,
scholars are uncertain whether news of this declaration ever reached the ears of
[[King Harandraff the Great]] or his courtiers.

=== Folktown in the Golden Age ===

At the end of the [[Bute University|great civil war]] in -390 [[EC]],
the life of the small community of Folktown was still very similar to
the life in neighboring farming communities. While the small size,
the independent traditions of the community, and its easily visible clock tower
shielded the region from the
[[Cartographer's Nerves|potentially catastrophic geographic effects of the revolution]], The economic panic accompanying
the war caused the collapse of the Folk Town Bank and ended Folktown's role
as a center of finance. The town
boasted only a court council that most considered a collection of harmless cranks
and variety of research and philanthropic organizations, few of which had very
broad effects or implications for the average resident beyond the easy
availability of low cost brownies from increasingly competitive charity bake sales.
Indeed, saturation in the brownie market is what many scholars believe led to the fairly
poor record of success for most of the "in PCJ" organizations chartered
by the court after -400 [[EC]]. While the golden age of Ghyll marched
on through the 300's, Folktown was largely left behind.

The "space rock" disaster in -306 [[EC]] marked the an important turning
point for this peaceful, if eccentric, village. The seemingly random death
of fifteen children playing in Stockwood field, the site of the space rock impact,
prompted Arthir Jhostings to publish his breakthrough paper on [[Cataclysmatology]],
and began to attract the attention of the scholars and (more importantly) the students
of [[Bute University]] to the town. Also, in mourning, the Folktown Arts
Council established an annual of public music performance in memory of the
lost children. These "rock concerts," initially featuring local musicians
singing sad ballads, soon began to attract more qualified and diverse
performers with the promise of easy crowds and cheap brownies.

Many years later, the two processes set in motion by the grim catalyst
of the disaster would reach a high point with the -275 [[EC]] Stockwood Music Festival. The
festival, organized by the Folktown Arts Council, was presented
on the same field where the disaster had occurred, and featured 32 of the most
popular musical acts of the era over three summer days. The organizers
planned for an attendance of 2500 people (an attendance count considered
"overly optimistic" by some members of the FAC.) Current estimates of
actual attendance are above 10,000 souls, including the entire student
body Bute University. The number of brownies purchased from various
folktown organizations over those three days likely exceeded the combined sales
of the preceding six years. When the smoke cleared, Folktown's organizations
were wealthy and Folktown's reputation as a center of arts and culture was
legend. The Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy were appalled,
and their reaction began a radicalizing of the order that would lead to
the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]]. The expense of providing for
the crowd bankrupted the Folktown Arts Council. Over half of the university
students in attendance did not return to the Bute University campus and
settled together with the farming and baking folk of the town.

One of the students who was in attendance but did not settle in town
was a young [[Odgar IV]].

=== the IVian Reforms ===

in -263 [[EC]], the third year of the Ivian Rejah, Odgar IV returned to folktown
to attend the memorial concert. The concerts at this time were much smaller
than the Stockwood "phenomenon" of '74, owing to the still almost-insolvent state
of the Folktown Arts Council combined with the growing activism of the Sisters of
Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy,
and the Rejah commented disappointment to his historian (at this time the historian
was retained by Odgar IV himself out of his own private funds, as the renown
and power of Odgar IV was still in line with the standard level of any other anonymous
Iganefta neighborhood rejah.) After the concert, however, Odgar IV had the opportunity
to observe the Folktown court and parliament in deliberation, and see the effects
of the now once again thriving institutions surrounding them.

The large body of relatively well educated
but un-credentialled (and therefore inexpensive) labor made up of the
Bute Drop-outs, combined with the massive influx of cash resulting from
the brownie sales bonanza, had sparked a renessance within the various
research institutes and councils of the town. Odgar IV actually met and had drinks
with a young Mek Meckton and Dirk Blood-Skull-Saint Monsterface, whose
pioneering directorships of the Brotherhood of Golemists and the
Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy respectively would later become legend.
He also had the opportunity to debate at length the role of public musical performance
in moral community life with an unnamed Sister of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy
(some folk traditions claim that this sister was the woman who would
in death be known as Sister Ursula Sandwich, although this is extremely unlikely in fact.)

In ''His Last Name is "Danger": A Memoir of Odgar IV'',
Odgar IV's historian would record:
<blockquote>
<p>By the time we left, his disappointment had turned to
a sharp, uncharacteristic excitement. On the road back to [[Iganefta]],
he dictated an account of his meetings and observations for almost an
hour, all the while munching brownies from a bag. It is the only time I ever saw the
great Rejah talk with his mouth full. Finally, I protested.</p>

<p>"The Great and Grand Rejah," I said, "It is said that to a fool,
all the wisdom of the wise is as the ravings of madmen. It may be
then what this fool heard from each and every person we spoke with
were words of wisdom."</p>

<p>The Rejah replied: "In the last three days I have spoken with
27 people. Three were madmen, three were senile, four were dreamers,
three were con men, two were salesmen, four were farmers, two were beggars,
two were drunk, one was a zelot,
one was psychotic, and two were children. None treated me with
respect due to my station."</p>

<p>"But not one, not '''one''' of these people mispronounced my name."</p>
</blockquote>

Odgar IV would maintain a deep interest in Folktown from that day until
his untimely death. During the next 24 years of the he would regularly
intervene in the life of Folktown, by decree, through [[Rejah|rejah decision]],
and through other means. He also arranged to perform there publically each year for the
remainder of his life at the memorial music festival, although he never performed
any of his own compositions on these occasions.

==== Early Ivian Reforms ====

By -257 [[EC]] Odgar IV's power and influence throughout Ghyll
were great enough for him to begin to act directly in the life of Folktown.
His early reforms (from -257 to -250) include the renaming of the streets,
roads, and landforms of Folktown and the surrounding region, a
re-endowment of the Folktown Arts Council from his personal treasury, the
creation of a standards body with the power to impound and destroy tainted
or low quality Baked-Goods (a reform that was for a time rather unpopular
in Folktown itself, but resulted in a rise in both the price and the quality
of the now famous Folktown brownie), the establishment of branches of many Folktown
professional organizations and institutions at first in Iganefta and later througout Ghyll,
and the creation of an advisory "Board of the Wise", with members chosen from these
organizations (so that many were Folktowners), to reside in his Iganefta court.

==== The Radical Reforms and the Grand Declaration ====

The [[Arbuckle_Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]] of -250 [[EC]] appeared to
have a profound effect on Odgar IV's attitude toward Folktown. Cynics have
noted that the Rejah's "mellowing out", his heartfelt speech and
his call for canonization of the Martyr were accompanied by his draft of
many of the barkeeps and restauranteurs responsible for the Arbuckle Hill Uprising to
officer's posts in the Folktown militia.

Later that year Odgar IV began the most radical of his Folktown-centric reforms by encouraging the construction of the extension to the [[Cataract Road]] that leads through Folktown
(by picking out the wealthiest looking attendant at his court, once per week, and
"recommending" a donation to the effort.) The same year, at his annual Folktown performance,
he announced a re-charter of the court and of parliament, presented both bodies
with charters and articles he had drafted himself, and announced the retirements
of all sitting members of both bodies and of the field marshall of the Folktown militia.
The news came as a shock to the judges and representatives. However, due to the very
generous "honoraria in recognition for years of service" awarded personally by Odgar
IV to each member of the group there was a great deal of cooperation from the outgoing officials.

In -247 [[EC]], with the completion of the Cataract Road extension, Odgar IV
began to consult with, and defer to, the new bodies in the course of
his day to day administration. Citing "the Grand Declaration" of -420 [[EC]], he
officially claimed that the source of his authority
was the court and parliament of Folktown. Of course, the new charters for both institutions
stated that Odgar IV himself, for the duration of his life, possessed the sole right
to appoint and dismiss members at will or dissolve and reform either body, and he
was also to personally hold the post of Field Marshall of the Folktown militia for life.

=== Post-Rejah Folktown ===

The absence of political crisis following Odgar IV's death in -239 [[EC]] was
remarkable. Perhaps owing in part to the manner of their ascension,
the court and parliament (and the Folktown militia) took up the reigns of
government with little fuss. The Ivian charters provided for popular elections
to Parliament and for a process of Parliament appointments to court positions,
the charters were followed without question. [[Songs_of_Odgar_The_Fourth|Daisy and Brandi]]
continued their joint administration of the Folktown Arts Council with a minimum of
bloodshed, and continued to lay the foundation for the modern [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]].

=== Modern Folktown ===

The people of Folktown can likely speak for themselves about the last two
hundred years; I have reproduced the following from the pamphlet ''Folktown!'', published
this year by the Folktown Board of Commerce and Tourism, in PCJ:

<blockquote>
<p>Recent history has seen the growth of Folktown from an honest,
hard-working farm and brownie community into a modern, industrial
(but still honest and hard-working) city.
The founding of Folktown University in -220 [[EC]] was quickly followed by
the founding of industrial giants the Folktown Steamworks Company (-199 [[EC]]),
and Alchemical Research Laboratories (-197 [[EC]]). The Folktown Commodity
Exchange first rang its opening bell in -191 [[EC]].</p>

<p>The famous Folktown court system had its second major overhaul in -179 [[EC]] in
response to the overwhelming compassion by the people of Folktown and all over Ghyll
to the death of [[Houvers|Adamantine Areola Duphine]],
resulting in the "Third Folktown Court Charter" that is the law of the land
to this day. The political change did nothing to slow the growth of the
now vibrant city. In addition to scholarship and industry, modern
Folktown also boasts an impressive [[Paramount Queen|tourist trade]],
and not one but [[EctoMechanauts|two major sites of EctoMechanaut Manufacture]],
the Ghyll Mechanician's Guild Headquarters and the Folktown Mechanoworks
Corporation. Even after [[Agony uncle|recent unfortunate events]] prompted in
a major downturn in the Charitable Brownie Market, the people, culture,
and economy of Folktown are still going strong!</p>
</blockquote>

Ghyll:Folktown

2005-06-26T16:41:50Z

Joe Bowers: add'l attribution

In only a bit more than 200 years, the once tiny hamlet of Folktown
has emerged a center for industry, culture, and thought.

or possibly a center for business, the arts, and scholarship.

or at least a powerful source of pollution, pretension, and
some of the finest grant writing since [[Aminfarances]].

== A Gloss of the History of Folktown ==

Due to the large number of patrons of scholarship who reside in Folktown,
the history of the community has been the subject of extremely thorough
research. The following gloss is by necessity very brief and as a result
somewhat superficial. Where appropriate, the author has taken pains to
refer the reader to more exhaustive and authoritative sources.

=== Prehistory and The X Documents ===

Archeological evidence suggests that small communities of agricultural
and toolmaking peoples were settled on and around around [[Arbuckle Hill]] as early
as -1100 [[EC]]. The earliest documentary evidence of this culture
are the puzzling "X Documents." More than two hundred of these documents are known
to still be in existence.

[[Image:Folktown-X-document.jpg]]

The above is a copy of the decorative cover of X Document 103,
currently in the private collection of [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]].
(The numerals, in red, are annotations by this scholar.) Like
all of the known X Documents, it is painted in remarkably permanent
vegetable pigments on carapace-leather, with distinctive orange
and purple blocks and common text elements. The texts of (1) and (2) are
the same for all known X Documents. The text of (2), with its character-forms
that prefigure the modern folktown common script, has been translated
by Herbertoid as "this Joy, it is activity which prepares for harvest" in
''Everything We Know about the Folktown X Documents'' or
as "We are amused, we are intent" by Herbertron in ''Herbertoid Knows Nothing about the Folktown X Documents''. The text of (1) is apparently
phonetic, in a script that has yet to be convincingly identified
or translated.

The text of (3) is written in what appears to be a degenerate
form of classical N-ary, with only a single dimension of meaning.
The numeral part varies from document to document, but the remainder of the
text is always the same. The text of Document 103 reads
"Five are out of balance" or "Five are foolish", followed by
the imperative "Find them".

Unlike the exteriors, the interior of the X Documents were
likely painted or written on wood-pulp paper, and no traces
of their contents survive today.

The most remarkable conclusion that can be drawn from these
documents is founded on the fact that the dyes used are
almost certainly manufactured from local agricultural products.
This, together with the large number of surviving
documents and the sites of their discovery,
leads scholars to believe the peoples of the region were shockingly
literate- it is likely that the surviving number of these
documents is close to or exceeds the population of the
region at any point before -800 [[EC]]!

=== Early History of the Region ===

Our knowledge of the classical history of the area
begins with the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbugghyll Map]], from
circa -700 [[EC]], which depicts a very
small community of serfs living surrounding a manor farm.

The next mention of the town, circa -640 [[EC]], is one of the rare
documents that survived the [[King Harandraff the Great|purge of Harandraff]],
and probably originated in the [[Proto-Harandraff Orthonormal Basis Set]]
{τ , ρ, φ}, the reign of the
"[[King Harandraff the Great|disunited king]]" known to modern
scholars as Proto-Harandraff ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0). The document is a
contains the charter for a "Free Town", the only one of it's
kind known to modern scholars. [[Blivingdel|Blivingdel's]] translation of the
preamblatory first degree of the
charter (in ''Blivingdel's History of Folktown and It's Folks'')
reads simply:

<blockquote>
You Wanted it? You Got It.<br />
The fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk<br />
Don't Come Crying to me when it all blows up in your face.<br />
We and our officers wash our hands of you<br />
The city is now called<br />
By royal authority<br />
:Chump Town
(ideogrammatic seal attributed to P-H ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0))
</blockquote>

Although the charter (as was customary at the time) also
contains secondary and tertiary structures, the secondary
content is apparently a long definition of the word (rather politely)
translated by residents as "Chump", and the tertiary content
seems to be an explicit description of rather implausible
[[Ghyllian_reproduction|mating habits]], attributed variously
to "The City", "The People", and "[[Arbugghyll|The Lord of the People, Ar Bugh]]".
What prompted the issue of the charter is still a subject of much
debate amongst historians.

=== The Folktown Court ===

(This section relies extensively on Burbleson's
''Early Folktown Court Documents in Translation, -639 [[EC]] and Early -638 [[EC]]''
Volumes I through CVI)

The issue of the royal charter for the town was followed immediately
by a declaration, at town meeting, establishing "A court of common folks to to provide for the
common order, 'cause who needs that King character, anyway" (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 4),
The first act of the judges named in the declaration was the drafting the original
court charter (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 6 through Vol VI, Pg 2044).

The papers and records of the initial Folktown court are an oasis
of plenty in an otherwise parched historical landscape.
An anonymous copyist of one of the [[Odlucian Library]]'s original editions of
''Harandraff, the Greatest Guy Ever!'' editorializes that
perhaps when confronted by the quantity of documentation
an enormously verbose judiciary had produced after one
hundred and fifty years of operation,
[[King Harandraff the Great|Harandraff's]] inquisitors for historical purity chose to
forget it existed rather than spend the years that
would be required to burn it all. (It is notable that the
page containing this commentary in the margins is the last
page copied in that particular handwriting.)

The picture these records paint of Folktown from the
time of the charter through the great civil war
is detailed and rich, but unfortunately rather narrow.

One of the first cases approached by the court, and one that sheds some light
on both the depth and the limits of these documents is the case of "Baby Alek",
investigated in detail by Herringer in his
''Mick's Executioner: Origins of the Folktown Executioner's Festival''. The case
involves a pair of families, the Hambeck and Harblock clans, both claiming
parentage of the same infant.
The case was initially presented to the court in -639 [[EC]].
Testimony lasted for four days. The
court then considered the case for a full year before reaching
the preliminary verdict that the child should be cut in half
and one half should be distributed to each party of claim.
A chronology of the remainder of the court's activities with respect
to the case follows:

<ul>
<li> -638 [[EC]]: court deliberates which half should go to whom,
debates the measurement of one-half an infant.</li>
<li> -636 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary table of legal infant metrics.</li>
<li> late -636 [[EC]]: legal infant metric table rejected.</li>
<li> -632 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary executive order deciding that
the infant should be dissolved into paste with powerful
alchemical reagents and distributed by volume.</li>
<li> -630 [[EC]]: court issues charter for "The Institute for
Reactive Chemistry in Pursuit of Civil Justice", "established for the research and development
of a reagent appropriate to the flesh and exoskeleton of children 'Without undue suffering on the part of the subject.'"</li>
<li> -628 [[EC]]: IRCPCJ Bake sales spun off into "The Institute for the Fabrication of Delicious Treats in Pursuit of Civic Justice and Alchemical Research" and ladies' auxiliary.</li>
<li> -613 [[EC]]: court records receiving seven clay jars, each containing seven [[Chesix System of Measures|wurp]] of "ouchless child solvent" from the IRCPCJ. Records also state that the IRCPCJ is receiving sufficient support from the IFDTPCJAR to continue its research independently.</li>
<li> -604 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary decision covering claimant liability for residual solvent in the liquid portions of the infant received, measured by the difference between one-half the weight of the child and the weight of the received portion, minus the weight of the jars used for the purpose of distribution, assessed at the fair market value of "the actual or a similar reagent used to disolve children to paste." Court charters "The Institute for Mercantile Research in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to determine this value.</li>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: IMRPCJ issues request to the court for the definition of "A standard and negotiable measure of value" in order to complete its report.</li>
<li> -598 [[EC]]: court establishes "The Institute for Standards in Mercantile Exchange in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to issue a currency. The ISMEPJ is endowed with "two cart-loads" of delicious baked treats.</li>
<li> -590 [[EC]]: ISMEPJ submits a declaration of rejection of charter to the court. Sub-Lochree Markleson's comments on behalf of the body are recorded as "We appreciate the brownies, really, but it is the opinion of the ISMEPJ board that you people are a pack of loons." The ISMEPJ recharters itself as the Chump Town Bank, begins minting the "Chump Chip" coin backed by harvest futures.</li>
<li> -589 [[EC]]: the IMRPCJ declares that 1 wurp of ouchless child solvent is worth zero chump chips, since the act of disolving a child in acid, even ouchless acid, is in fact of negative value to individuals and to society.</li>
<li> -587 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Mick from Hillbottom" first Marshall of the court, and orders him to execute the judgement, collect and dissolve the child, appoint witnesses, and distribute the winnings to the claimant families at no cost to the claimants.</li>
<li> -580 [[EC]]: Alek Hambeck-Harblock, a prosperous farmer, dies of natural causes.</li>
<li> -579 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Dex from Hillbottom" second Marshall of the court, and issues an order for the arrest and execution of "Mick from Hillbottom" for dereliction of duty.</li>
<li> -565 [[EC]]: Mick from Hillbottom dies in a farming accident. Cornelious Junior Crunch is appointed third Marshall, charged with the arrest and execution of Dex from Hillbottom.</li>
</ul>

Findings in this case continued formally until the Ivian court reform,
and informally continue to this day as the traditional Folktown "Executioner's Festival" appointments.
(Out of towners should note that modern appointees to the post of "Mick's Executioner"
are only charged with wearing a comical hat, buying the drinks, and selecting the
appointee at the following year's festival.)

In general, before the reforms of Odgar IV, the court continued to
operate in this fashion. It continued to issue orders and found various organizations
and institutions, but apparently was otherwise ignored by the residents
of the area. In addition to founding and overseeing alchemical, baking,
econometric, and financial institutions, the court of this period established

<ul>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for the Measurement and Maintenece of Measure of Land Parcels in PCJ''' which would eventually
lead the funding, design, and construction of the Folktown Clocktower in -490 [[EC]].</li>
<li> -570 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Philosophical Research in PCJ''' which became
the [[HANDBAG|Housewives And Nannies' Debatory Banter Association of Ghyll]]</li>
<li> -560 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Wiping that Smug Grin off of Your Face in PCJ''' which became the infamous [[Morphomancy|Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy]]</li>
<li> -551 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Municipal Earth Moving Arts in PCJ''' Which
became the famous Brotherhood of Golemists, instrumental in refining golem technology
and at the center of early [[Mechanaut]] research.</li>
<li> -520 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for Standards and Decency in Pantomime in PCJ''' which would
schism to become both the Chump Town Council for the Arts and the The Order of the Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy (SUCKS).</li>
<li> -410 [[EC]]: '''The Council for the Preservation of Legislative Tradition in PCJ''' which
in turn drew the charter for our current [[Nitenmangrey]]-influenced
[[Parliament|Parliamentary traditions]], and established a formal
parliamentary body (Although at the time with no executive power whatsoever.)</li>
</ul>

The charter of each of these institutions was accompanied by the charter
of a corresponding institution to handle bake-sales for supporting the associated
organization or endevor. The court of this period also provided for the creation of what is today the Folktown militia and its associated bake-sale operations.

In -500 [[EC]], the Chump Town Bank was renamed "The Folk Town Bank", likely for reasons of credibility. Since by this time the bank was directly involved in much of the trade between the thriving but still small community and its neighbors, the name stuck, and by -450 [[EC]] the community was known to the outside world as "Folktown".

In -420 [[EC]], the (now Folktown) court issued a declaration which at the time was thought
of as typical silliness, but which would have far reaching implications. Citing the
cycle-clause from the Chump Town Charter "the fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk",
and reasoning that not just the town but all of Ghyll was populated by folks, the court
declared that "this court's ruling knows no formal or informal border, and it resolves
to adjudicate, and through its executive to act, on petitions from all folk in all places."

At the time of what would later be called "the Grand Declaration" there had not been
a petition to rule set before the court in over one hundred years. The declaration
was dismissed as hyperbole by the residents of the hamlet, and as insanity by those
few outside of town who happened to note its issue. Copyist's commentary aside,
scholars are uncertain whether news of this declaration ever reached the ears of
[[King Harandraff the Great]] or his courtiers.

=== Folktown in the Golden Age ===

At the end of the [[Bute University|great civil war]] in -390 [[EC]],
the life of the small community of Folktown was still very similar to
the life in neighboring farming communities. While the small size,
the independent traditions of the community, and its easily visible clock tower
shielded the region from the
[[Cartographer's Nerves|potentially catastrophic geographic effects of the revolution]], The economic panic accompanying
the war caused the collapse of the Folk Town Bank and ended Folktown's role
as a center of finance. The town
boasted only a court council that most considered a collection of harmless cranks
and variety of research and philanthropic organizations, few of which had very
broad effects or implications for the average resident beyond the easy
availability of low cost brownies from increasingly competative charity bake sales.
Indeed, saturation in the brownie market is what many scholars believe led to the fairly
poor record of success for most of the "in PCJ" organizations chartered
by the court after -400 [[EC]]. While the golden age of Ghyll marched
on through the 300's, Folktown was largely left behind.

The "space rock" disaster in -306 [[EC]] marked the an important turning
point for this peaceful, if eccentric, village. The seemingly random death
of fifteen children playing in Stockwood field, the site of space rock impact,
prompted Arthir Jhostings to publish his breakthrough paper on [[Cataclysmatology]],
and began to attract the attention of the scholars and (more importantly) the students
of [[Bute University]] to the town. Also, in mourning, the Folktown Arts
Council established an annual of public music performance in memory of the
lost children. These "rock concerts," initially featuring local musicians
singing sad ballads, soon began to attract more qualified and diverse
performers with the promise of easy crowds and cheap brownies.

Many years later, the two processes set in motion by the grim catalyst
of the disaster would reach a high point with the -275 [[EC]] Stockwood Music Festival. The
festival, organized by the Folktown Arts Council, was presented
on the same field where the disaster had occurred, and featured 32 of the most
popular musical acts of the era over three Summer days. The organizers
planned for an attendance of 2500 people (an attendance count considered
"overly optimistic" by some members of the FAC.) Current estimates of
actual attendance are above 10,000 souls, including the entire student
body Bute University. The number of brownies purchased from various
folktown organizations over those three days likely exceeded the combined sales
of the preceding six years. When the smoke cleared, Folktown's organizations
were wealthy and Folktown's reputation as a center of arts and culture was
legend. The Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy were appalled,
and their reaction began a radicalizing of the order that would lead to
the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]]. The expense of providing for
the crowd bankrupted the Folktown Arts Council. Over half of the university
students in attendance did not return to the Bute University campus and
settled together with the farming and baking folk of the town.

One of the students who was in attendance but did not settle in town
was a young [[Odgar IV]].

=== the IVian Reforms ===

in -263 [[EC]], the third year of the Ivian Rejah, Odgar IV returned to folktown
to attend the memorial concert. The concerts at this time were much smaller
than the Stockwood "phenomenon" of '74, owing to the still almost-insolvent state
of the Folktown Arts Council combined with the growing activism of the Sisters of
Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy,
and the Rejah commented disappointment to his historian (at this time the historian
was retained by Odgar IV himself out of his own private funds, as the renown
and power of Odgar IV was still in line with the standard level of any other anonymous
Iganefta neighborhood rejah.) After the concert, however, Odgar IV had the opportunity
to observe the Folktown court and parliament in deliberation, and see the effects
of the now once again thriving institutions surrounding them.

The large body of relatively well educated
but un-credentialled (and therefore inexpensive) labor made up of the
Bute Drop-outs, combined with the massive influx of cash resulting from
the brownie sales bonanza, had sparked a renessance within the various
research institutes and councils of the town. Odgar IV actually met and had drinks
with a young Mek Meckton and Dirk Blood-Skull-Saint Monsterface, whose
pioneering directorships of the Brotherhood of Golemists and the
Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy respectively would later become legend.
He also had the opportunity to debate at length the role of public musical performance
in moral community life with an unnamed Sister of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy
(some folk traditions claim that this sister was the woman who would
in death be known as Sister Ursula Sandwich, although this is extremely unlikely in fact.)

In ''His Last Name is "Danger": A Memoir of Odgar IV'',
Odgar IV's historian would record:
<blockquote>
<p>By the time we left, his disappointment had turned to
a sharp, uncharacteristic excitement. On the road back to [[Iganefta]],
he dictated an account of his meetings and observations for almost an
hour, all the while munching brownies from a bag. It is the only time I ever saw the
great Rejah talk with his mouth full. Finally, I protested.</p>

<p>"The Great and Grand Rejah," I said, "It is said that to a fool,
all the wisdom of the wise is as the ravings of madmen. It may be
then what this fool heard from each and every person we spoke with
were words of wisdom."</p>

<p>The Rejah replied: "In the last three days I have spoken with
27 people. Three were madmen, three were senile, four were dreamers,
three were con men, two were salesmen, four were farmers, two were beggars,
two were drunk, one was a zelot,
one was psychotic, and two were children. None treated me with
respect due to my station."</p>

<p>"But not one, not '''one''' of these people mispronounced my name."</p>
</blockquote>

Odgar IV would maintain a deep interest in Folktown from that day until
his untimely death. During the next 24 years of the he would regularly
intervene in the life of Folktown, by decree, through [[Rejah|rejah decision]],
and through other means. He also arranged to perform there publically each year for the
remainder of his life at the memorial music festival, although he never performed
any of his own compositions on these occasions.

==== Early Ivian Reforms ====

By -257 [[EC]] Odgar IV's power and influence throughout Ghyll
were great enough for him to begin to act directly in the life of Folktown.
His early reforms (from -257 to -250) include the renaming of the streets,
roads, and landforms of Folktown and the surrounding region, a
re-endowment of the Folktown Arts Council from his personal treasury, the
creation of a standards body with the power to impound and destroy tainted
or low quality Baked-Goods (a reform that was for a time rather unpopular
in Folktown itself, but resulted in a rise in both the price and the quality
of the now famous Folktown brownie), the establishment of branches of many Folktown
professional organizations and institutions at first in Iganefta and later througout Ghyll,
and the creation of an advisory "Board of the Wise", with members chosen from these
organizations (so that many were Folktowners), to reside in his Iganefta court.

==== The Radical Reforms and the Grand Declaration ====

The [[Arbuckle_Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]] of -250 [[EC]] appeared to
have a profound effect on Odgar IV's attitude toward Folktown. Cynics have
noted that the Rejah's "mellowing out", his heartfelt speech and
his call for canonization of the Martyr were accompanied by his draft of
many of the barkeeps and restauranteurs responsible for the Arbuckle Hill Uprising to
officer's posts in the Folktown militia.

Later that year Odgar IV began the most radical of his Folktown-centric reforms by encouraging the construction of the extension to the [[Cataract Road]] that leads through Folktown
(by picking out the wealthiest looking attendant at his court, once per week, and
"recommending" a donation to the effort.) The same year, at his annual Folktown performance,
he announced a re-charter of the court and of parliament, presented both bodies
with charters and articles he had drafted himself, and announced the retirements
of all sitting members of both bodies and of the field marshall of the Folktown militia.
The news came as a shock to the judges and representatives. However, due to the very
generous "honoraria in recognition for years of service" awarded personally by Odgar
IV to each member of the group there was a great deal of cooperation from the outgoing officials.

In -247 [[EC]], with the completion of the Cataract Road extension, Odgar IV
began to consult with, and defer to, the new bodies in the course of
his day to day administration. Citing "the Grand Declaration" of -420 [[EC]], he
officially claimed that the source of his authority
was the court and parliament of Folktown. Of course, the new charters for both institutions
stated that Odgar IV himself, for the duration of his life, possessed the sole right
to appoint and dismiss members at will or dissolve and reform either body, and he
was also to personally hold the post of Field Marshall of the Folktown militia for life.

=== Post-Rejah Folktown ===

The absence of political crisis following Odgar IV's death in -239 [[EC]] was
remarkable. Perhaps owing in part to the manner of their ascension,
the court and parliament (and the Folktown militia) took up the reigns of
government with little fuss. The Ivian charters provided for popular elections
to Parliament and for a process of Parliament appointments to court positions,
the charters were followed without question. [[Songs_of_Odgar_The_Fourth|Daisy and Brandi]]
continued their joint administration of the Folktown Arts Council with a minimum of
bloodshed, and continued to lay the foundation for the modern [[Amphitheatre Aristocracy]].

=== Modern Folktown ===

The people of Folktown can likely speak for themselves about the last two
hundred years; I have reproduced the following from the pamphlet ''Folktown!'', published
this year by the Folktown Board of Commerce and Tourism, in PCJ:

<blockquote>
<p>Recent history has seen the growth of Folktown from an honest,
hard-working farm and brownie community into a modern, industrial
(but still honest and hard-working) city.
The founding of Folktown University in -220 [[EC]] was quickly followed by
the founding of industrial giants the Folktown Steamworks Company (-199 [[EC]]),
and Alchemical Research Laboratories (-197 [[EC]]). The Folktown Commodity
Exchange first rang its opening bell in -191 [[EC]].</p>

<p>The famous Folktown court system had its second major overhaul in -179 [[EC]] in
response to the overwhelming compassion by the people of Folktown and all over Ghyll
to the death of [[Houvers|Adamantine Areola Duphine]],
resulting in the "Third Folktown Court Charter" that is the law of the land
to this day. The political change did nothing to slow the growth of the
now vibrant city. In addition to scholarship and industry, modern
Folktown also boasts an impressive [[Paramount Queen|tourist trade]],
and not one but [[EctoMechanauts|two major sites of EctoMechanaut Manufacture]],
the Ghyll Mechanician's Guild Headquarters and the Folktown Mechanoworks
Corporation. Even after [[Agony uncle|recent unfortunate events]] prompted in
a major downturn in the Charitable Brownie Market, the people, culture,
and economy of Folktown are still going strong!</p>
</blockquote>

Well.

Ghyll:Folktown

2005-06-26T16:38:42Z

Joe Bowers: Thanks!

In only a bit more than 200 years, the once tiny hamlet of Folktown
has emerged a center for industry, culture, and thought.

or possibly a center for business, the arts, and scholarship.

or at least a powerful source of pollution, pretension, and
some of the finest grant writing since [[Aminfarances]].

== A Gloss of the History of Folktown ==

Due to the large number of patrons of scholarship who reside in Folktown,
the history of the community has been the subject of extremely thorough
research. The following gloss is by necessity very brief and as a result
somewhat superficial. Where appropriate, the author has taken pains to
refer the reader to more exhaustive and authoritative sources.

=== Prehistory and The X Documents ===

Archeological evidence suggests that small communities of agricultural
and toolmaking peoples were settled on and around around [[Arbuckle Hill]] as early
as -1100 [[EC]]. The earliest documentary evidence of this culture
are the puzzling "X Documents." More than two hundred of these documents are known
to still be in existence.

[[Image:Folktown-X-document.jpg]]

The above is a copy of the decorative cover of X Document 103,
currently in the private collection of [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]].
(The numerals, in red, are annotations by this scholar.) Like
all of the known X Documents, it is painted in remarkably permanent
vegetable pigments on carapace-leather, with distinctive orange
and purple blocks and common text elements. The texts of (1) and (2) are
the same for all known X Documents. The text of (2), with its character-forms
that prefigure the modern folktown common script, has been translated
by Herbertoid as "this Joy, it is activity which prepares for harvest" in
''Everything We Know about the Folktown X Documents'' or
as "We are amused, we are intent" by Herbertron in ''Herbertoid Knows Nothing about the Folktown X Documents''. The text of (1) is apparently
phonetic, in a script that has yet to be convincingly identified
or translated.

The text of (3) is written in what appears to be a degenerate
form of classical N-ary, with only a single dimension of meaning.
The numeral part varies from document to document, but the remainder of the
text is always the same. The text of Document 103 reads
"Five are out of balance" or "Five are foolish", followed by
the imperative "Find them".

Unlike the exteriors, the interior of the X Documents were
likely painted or written on wood-pulp paper, and no traces
of their contents survive today.

The most remarkable conclusion that can be drawn from these
documents is founded on the fact that the dyes used are
almost certainly manufactured from local agricultural products.
This, together with the large number of surviving
documents and the sites of their discovery,
leads scholars to believe the peoples of the region were shockingly
literate- it is likely that the surviving number of these
documents is close to or exceeds the population of the
region at any point before -800 [[EC]]!

=== Early History of the Region ===

Our knowledge of the classical history of the area
begins with the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbugghyll Map]], from
circa -700 [[EC]], which depicts a very
small community of serfs living surrounding a manor farm.

The next mention of the town, circa -640 [[EC]], is one of the rare
documents that survived the [[King Harandraff the Great|purge of Harandraff]],
and probably originated in the [[Proto-Harandraff Orthonormal Basis Set]]
{τ , ρ, φ}, the reign of the
"[[King Harandraff the Great|disunited king]]" known to modern
scholars as Proto-Harandraff ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0). The document is a
contains the charter for a "Free Town", the only one of it's
kind known to modern scholars. [[Blivingdel|Blivingdel's]] translation of the
preamblatory first degree of the
charter (in ''Blivingdel's History of Folktown and It's Folks'')
reads simply:

<blockquote>
You Wanted it? You Got It.<br />
The fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk<br />
Don't Come Crying to me when it all blows up in your face.<br />
We and our officers wash our hands of you<br />
The city is now called<br />
By royal authority<br />
:Chump Town
(ideogrammatic seal attributed to P-H ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0))
</blockquote>

Although the charter (as was customary at the time) also
contains secondary and tertiary structures, the secondary
content is apparently a long definition of the word (rather politely)
translated by residents as "Chump", and the tertiary content
seems to be an explicit description of rather implausible
[[Ghyllian_reproduction|mating habits]], attributed variously
to "The City", "The People", and "[[Arbugghyll|The Lord of the People, Ar Bugh]]".
What prompted the issue of the charter is still a subject of much
debate amongst historians.

=== The Folktown Court ===

(This section relies extensively on Burbleson's
''Early Folktown Court Documents in Translation, -639 [[EC]] and Early -638 [[EC]]''
Volumes I through CVI)

The issue of the royal charter for the town was followed immediately
by a declaration, at town meeting, establishing "A court of common folks to to provide for the
common order, 'cause who needs that King character, anyway" (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 4),
The first act of the judges named in the declaration was the drafting the original
court charter (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 6 through Vol VI, Pg 2044).

The papers and records of the initial Folktown court are an oasis
of plenty in an otherwise parched historical landscape.
An anonymous copyist of one of the [[Odlucian Library]]'s original editions of
''Harandraff, the Greatest Guy Ever!'' editorializes that
perhaps when confronted by the quantity of documentation
an enormously verbose judiciary had produced after one
hundred and fifty years of operation,
[[King Harandraff the Great|Harandraff's]] inquisitors for historical purity chose to
forget it existed rather than spend the years that
would be required to burn it all. (It is notable that the
page containing this commentary in the margins is the last
page copied in that particular handwriting.)

The picture these records paint of Folktown from the
time of the charter through the great civil war
is detailed and rich, but unfortunately rather narrow.

One of the first cases approached by the court, and one that sheds some light
on both the depth and the limits of these documents is the case of "Baby Alek",
investigated in detail by Herringer in his
''Mick's Executioner: Origins of the Folktown Executioner's Festival''. The case
involves a pair of families, the Hambeck and Harblock clans, both claiming
parentage of the same infant.
The case was initially presented to the court in -639 [[EC]].
Testimony lasted for four days. The
court then considered the case for a full year before reaching
the preliminary verdict that the child should be cut in half
and one half should be distributed to each party of claim.
A chronology of the remainder of the court's activities with respect
to the case follows:

<ul>
<li> -638 [[EC]]: court deliberates which half should go to whom,
debates the measurement of one-half an infant.</li>
<li> -636 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary table of legal infant metrics.</li>
<li> late -636 [[EC]]: legal infant metric table rejected.</li>
<li> -632 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary executive order deciding that
the infant should be dissolved into paste with powerful
alchemical reagents and distributed by volume.</li>
<li> -630 [[EC]]: court issues charter for "The Institute for
Reactive Chemistry in Pursuit of Civil Justice", "established for the research and development
of a reagent appropriate to the flesh and exoskeleton of children 'Without undue suffering on the part of the subject.'"</li>
<li> -628 [[EC]]: IRCPCJ Bake sales spun off into "The Institute for the Fabrication of Delicious Treats in Pursuit of Civic Justice and Alchemical Research" and ladies' auxiliary.</li>
<li> -613 [[EC]]: court records receiving seven clay jars, each containing seven [[Chesix System of Measures|wurp]] of "ouchless child solvent" from the IRCPCJ. Records also state that the IRCPCJ is receiving sufficient support from the IFDTPCJAR to continue its research independently.</li>
<li> -604 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary decision covering claimant liability for residual solvent in the liquid portions of the infant received, measured by the difference between one-half the weight of the child and the weight of the received portion, minus the weight of the jars used for the purpose of distribution, assessed at the fair market value of "the actual or a similar reagent used to disolve children to paste." Court charters "The Institute for Mercantile Research in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to determine this value.</li>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: IMRPCJ issues request to the court for the definition of "A standard and negotiable measure of value" in order to complete its report.</li>
<li> -598 [[EC]]: court establishes "The Institute for Standards in Mercantile Exchange in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to issue a currency. The ISMEPJ is endowed with "two cart-loads" of delicious baked treats.</li>
<li> -590 [[EC]]: ISMEPJ submits a declaration of rejection of charter to the court. Sub-Lochree Markleson's comments on behalf of the body are recorded as "We appreciate the brownies, really, but it is the opinion of the ISMEPJ board that you people are a pack of loons." The ISMEPJ recharters itself as the Chump Town Bank, begins minting the "Chump Chip" coin backed by harvest futures.</li>
<li> -589 [[EC]]: the IMRPCJ declares that 1 wurp of ouchless child solvent is worth zero chump chips, since the act of disolving a child in acid, even ouchless acid, is in fact of negative value to individuals and to society.</li>
<li> -587 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Mick from Hillbottom" first Marshall of the court, and orders him to execute the judgement, collect and dissolve the child, appoint witnesses, and distribute the winnings to the claimant families at no cost to the claimants.</li>
<li> -580 [[EC]]: Alek Hambeck-Harblock, a prosperous farmer, dies of natural causes.</li>
<li> -579 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Dex from Hillbottom" second Marshall of the court, and issues an order for the arrest and execution of "Mick from Hillbottom" for dereliction of duty.</li>
<li> -565 [[EC]]: Mick from Hillbottom dies in a farming accident. Cornelious Junior Crunch is appointed third Marshall, charged with the arrest and execution of Dex from Hillbottom.</li>
</ul>

Findings in this case continued formally until the Ivian court reform,
and informally continue to this day as the traditional Folktown "Executioner's Festival" appointments.
(Out of towners should note that modern appointees to the post of "Mick's Executioner"
are only charged with wearing a comical hat, buying the drinks, and selecting the
appointee at the following year's festival.)

In general, before the reforms of Odgar IV, the court continued to
operate in this fashion. It continued to issue orders and found various organizations
and institutions, but apparently was otherwise ignored by the residents
of the area. In addition to founding and overseeing alchemical, baking,
econometric, and financial institutions, the court of this period established

<ul>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for the Measurement and Maintenece of Measure of Land Parcels in PCJ''' which would eventually
lead the funding, design, and construction of the Folktown Clocktower in -490 [[EC]].</li>
<li> -570 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Philosophical Research in PCJ''' which became
the [[HANDBAG|Housewives And Nannies' Debatory Banter Association of Ghyll]]</li>
<li> -560 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Wiping that Smug Grin off of Your Face in PCJ''' which became the infamous [[Morphomancy|Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy]]</li>
<li> -551 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Municipal Earth Moving Arts in PCJ''' Which
became the famous Brotherhood of Golemists, instrumental in refining golem technology
and at the center of early [[Mechanaut]] research.</li>
<li> -520 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for Standards and Decency in Pantomime in PCJ''' which would
schism to become both the Chump Town Council for the Arts and the The Order of the Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy (SUCKS).</li>
<li> -410 [[EC]]: '''The Council for the Preservation of Legislative Tradition in PCJ''' which
in turn drew the charter for our current [[Nitenmangrey]]-influenced
[[Parliament|Parliamentary traditions]], and established a formal
parliamentary body (Although at the time with no executive power whatsoever.)</li>
</ul>

The charter of each of these institutions was accompanied by the charter
of a corresponding institution to handle bake-sales for supporting the associated
organization or endevor. The court of this period also provided for the creation of what is today the Folktown militia and its associated bake-sale operations.

In -500 [[EC]], the Chump Town Bank was renamed "The Folk Town Bank", likely for reasons of credibility. Since by this time the bank was directly involved in much of the trade between the thriving but still small community and its neighbors, the name stuck, and by -450 [[EC]] the community was known to the outside world as "Folktown".

In -420 [[EC]], the (now Folktown) court issued a declaration which at the time was thought
of as typical silliness, but which would have far reaching implications. Citing the
cycle-clause from the Chump Town Charter "the fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk",
and reasoning that not just the town but all of Ghyll was populated by folks, the court
declared that "this court's ruling knows no formal or informal border, and it resolves
to adjudicate, and through its executive to act, on petitions from all folk in all places."

At the time of what would later be called "the Grand Declaration" there had not been
a petition to rule set before the court in over one hundred years. The declaration
was dismissed as hyperbole by the residents of the hamlet, and as insanity by those
few outside of town who happened to note its issue. Copyist's commentary aside,
scholars are uncertain whether news of this declaration ever reached the ears of
[[King Harandraff the Great]] or his courtiers.

=== Folktown in the Golden Age ===

At the end of the [[Bute University|great civil war]] in -390 [[EC]],
the life of the small community of Folktown was still very similar to
the life in neighboring farming communities. While the small size,
the independent traditions of the community, and its easily visible clock tower
shielded the region from the
[[Cartographer's Nerves|potentially catastrophic geographic effects of the revolution]], The economic panic accompanying
the war caused the collapse of the Folk Town Bank and ended Folktown's role
as a center of finance. The town
boasted only a court council that most considered a collection of harmless cranks
and variety of research and philanthropic organizations, few of which had very
broad effects or implications for the average resident beyond the easy
availability of low cost brownies from increasingly competative charity bake sales.
Indeed, saturation in the brownie market is what many scholars believe led to the fairly
poor record of success for most of the "in PCJ" organizations chartered
by the court after -400 [[EC]]. While the golden age of Ghyll marched
on through the 300's, Folktown was largely left behind.

The "space rock" disaster in -306 [[EC]] marked the an important turning
point for this peaceful, if eccentric, village. The seemingly random death
of fifteen children playing in Stockwood field, the site of space rock impact,
prompted Arthir Jhostings to publish his breakthrough paper on [[Cataclysmatology]],
and began to attract the attention of the scholars and (more importantly) the students
of [[Bute University]] to the town. Also, in mourning, the Folktown Arts
Council established an annual of public music performance in memory of the
lost children. These "rock concerts," initially featuring local musicians
singing sad ballads, soon began to attract more qualified and diverse
performers with the promise of easy crowds and cheap brownies.

Many years later, the two processes set in motion by the grim catalyst
of the disaster would reach a high point with the -275 [[EC]] Stockwood Music Festival. The
festival, organized by the Folktown Arts Council, was presented
on the same field where the disaster had occurred, and featured 32 of the most
popular musical acts of the era over three Summer days. The organizers
planned for an attendance of 2500 people (an attendance count considered
"overly optimistic" by some members of the FAC.) Current estimates of
actual attendance are above 10,000 souls, including the entire student
body Bute University. The number of brownies purchased from various
folktown organizations over those three days likely exceeded the combined sales
of the preceding six years. When the smoke cleared, Folktown's organizations
were wealthy and Folktown's reputation as a center of arts and culture was
legend. The Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy were appalled,
and their reaction began a radicalizing of the order that would lead to
the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]]. The expense of providing for
the crowd bankrupted the Folktown Arts Council. Over half of the university
students in attendance did not return to the Bute University campus and
settled together with the farming and baking folk of the town.

One of the students who was in attendance but did not settle in town
was a young [[Odgar IV]].

=== the IVian Reforms ===

in -263 [[EC]], the third year of the Ivian Rejah, Odgar IV returned to folktown
to attend the memorial concert. The concerts at this time were much smaller
than the Stockwood "phenomenon" of '74, owing to the still almost-insolvent state
of the Folktown Arts Council combined with the growing activism of the Sisters of
Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy,
and the Rejah commented disappointment to his historian (at this time the historian
was retained by Odgar IV himself out of his own private funds, as the renown
and power of Odgar IV was still in line with the standard level of any other anonymous
Iganefta neighborhood rejah.) After the concert, however, Odgar IV had the opportunity
to observe the Folktown court and parliament in deliberation, and see the effects
of the now once again thriving institutions surrounding them.

The large body of relatively well educated
but un-credentialled (and therefore inexpensive) labor made up of the
Bute Drop-outs, combined with the massive influx of cash resulting from
the brownie sales bonanza, had sparked a renessance within the various
research institutes and councils of the town. Odgar IV actually met and had drinks
with a young Mek Meckton and Dirk Blood-Skull-Saint Monsterface, whose
pioneering directorships of the Brotherhood of Golemists and the
Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy respectively would later become legend.
He also had the opportunity to debate at length the role of public musical performance
in moral community life with an unnamed Sister of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy
(some folk traditions claim that this sister was the woman who would
in death be known as Sister Ursula Sandwich, although this is extremely unlikely in fact.)

In ''His Last Name is "Danger": A Memoir of Odgar IV'',
Odgar IV's historian would record:
<blockquote>
<p>By the time we left, his disappointment had turned to
a sharp, uncharacteristic excitement. On the road back to [[Iganefta]],
he dictated an account of his meetings and observations for almost an
hour, all the while munching brownies from a bag. It is the only time I ever saw the
great Rejah talk with his mouth full. Finally, I protested.</p>

<p>"The Great and Grand Rejah," I said, "It is said that to a fool,
all the wisdom of the wise is as the ravings of madmen. It may be
then what this fool heard from each and every person we spoke with
were words of wisdom."</p>

<p>The Rejah replied: "In the last three days I have spoken with
27 people. Three were madmen, three were senile, four were dreamers,
three were con men, two were salesmen, four were farmers, two were beggars,
two were drunk, one was a zelot,
one was psychotic, and two were children. None treated me with
respect due to my station."</p>

<p>"But not one, not '''one''' of these people mispronounced my name."</p>
</blockquote>

Odgar IV would maintain a deep interest in Folktown from that day until
his untimely death. During the next 24 years of the he would regularly
intervene in the life of Folktown, by decree, through [[Rejah|rejah decision]],
and through other means. He also arranged to perform there publically each year for the
remainder of his life at the memorial music festival, although he never performed
any of his own compositions on these occasions.

==== Early Ivian Reforms ====

By -257 [[EC]] Odgar IV's power and influence throughout Ghyll
were great enough for him to begin to act directly in the life of Folktown.
His early reforms (from -257 to -250) include the renaming of the streets,
roads, and landforms of Folktown and the surrounding region, a
re-endowment of the Folktown Arts Council from his personal treasury, the
creation of a standards body with the power to impound and destroy tainted
or low quality Baked-Goods (a reform that was for a time rather unpopular
in Folktown itself, but resulted in a rise in both the price and the quality
of the now famous Folktown brownie), the establishment of branches of many Folktown
professional organizations and institutions at first in Iganefta and later througout Ghyll,
and the creation of an advisory "Board of the Wise", with members chosen from these
organizations (so that many were Folktowners), to reside in his Iganefta court.

==== The Radical Reforms and the Grand Declaration ====

The [[Arbuckle_Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]] of -250 [[EC]] appeared to
have a profound effect on Odgar IV's attitude toward Folktown. Cynics have
noted that the Rejah's "mellowing out", his heartfelt speech and
his call for canonization of the Martyr were accompanied by his draft of
many of the barkeeps and restauranteurs responsible for the Arbuckle Hill Uprising to
officer's posts in the Folktown militia.

Later that year Odgar IV began the most radical of his Folktown-centric reforms by encouraging the construction of the extension to the [[Cataract Road]] that leads through Folktown
(by picking out the wealthiest looking attendant at his court, once per week, and
"recommending" a donation to the effort.) The same year, at his annual Folktown performance,
he announced a re-charter of the court and of parliament, presented both bodies
with charters and articles he had drafted himself, and announced the retirements
of all sitting members of both bodies and of the field marshall of the Folktown militia.
The news came as a shock to the judges and representatives. However, due to the very
generous "honoraria in recognition for years of service" awarded personally by Odgar
IV to each member of the group there was a great deal of cooperation from the outgoing officials.

In -247 [[EC]], with the completion of the Cataract Road extension, Odgar IV
began to consult with, and defer to, the new bodies in the course of
his day to day administration. Citing "the Grand Declaration" of -420 [[EC]], he
officially claimed that the source of his authority
was the court and parliament of Folktown. Of course, the new charters for both institutions
stated that Odgar IV himself, for the duration of his life, possessed the sole right
to appoint and dismiss members at will or dissolve and reform either body, and he
was also to personally hold the post of Field Marshall of the Folktown militia for life.

=== Post-Rejah Folktown ===

The absence of political crisis following Odgar IV's death in -239 [[EC]] was
remarkable. Perhaps owing in part to the manner of their ascension,
the court and parliament (and the Folktown militia) took up the reigns of
government with little fuss. The Ivian charters provided for popular elections
to Parliament and for a process of Parliament appointments to court positions,
the charters were followed without question. [[Songs_of_Odgar_The_Fourth|Daisy and Brandi]]
continued their joint administration of the Folktown Arts Council with a minimum of
bloodshed, and continued to lay the foundation for the modern [[Amphitheatre Aristocracy]].

=== Modern Folktown ===

The people of Folktown can likely speak for themselves about the last two
hundred years; I have reproduced the following from the pamphlet ''Folktown!'', published
this year by the Folktown Board of Commerce and Tourism, in PCJ:

<blockquote>
<p>Recent history has seen the growth of Folktown from an honest,
hard-working farm and brownie community into a modern, industrial
(but still honest and hard-working) city.
The founding of Folktown University in -220 [[EC]] was quickly followed by
the founding of industrial giants the Folktown Steamworks Company (-199 [[EC]]),
and Alchemical Research Laboratories (-197 [[EC]]). The Folktown Commodity
Exchange first rang its opening bell in -191 [[EC]].</p>

<p>The famous Folktown court system had its second major overhaul in -179 [[EC]] in
response to the overwhelming compassion by the people of Folktown and all over Ghyll
to the death of [[Houvers|Adamantine Areola Duphine]],
resulting in the "Third Folktown Court Charter" that is the law of the land
to this day. The political change did nothing to slow the growth of the
now vibrant city. In addition to scholarship and industry, modern
Folktown also boasts an impressive [[Paramount Queen|tourist trade]],
and not one but [[EctoMechanauts|two major sites of EctoMechanaut Manufacture]],
the Ghyll Mechanician's Guild Headquarters and the Folktown Mechanoworks
Corporation. Even after [[Agony uncle|recent unfortunate events]] prompted in
a major downturn in the Charitable Brownie Market, the people, culture,
and economy of Folktown are still going strong!</p>
</blockquote>

Ghyll:Folktown

2005-06-26T16:32:04Z

Joe Bowers: grammar and spelling. Embarassing.

In only a bit more than 200 years, the once tiny hamlet of Folktown
has emerged a center for industry, culture, and thought.

or possibly a center for business, the arts, and scholarship.

or at least a powerful source of pollution, pretension, and
some of the finest grant writing since [[Aminfarances]].

== A Gloss of the History of Folktown ==

Due to the large number of patrons of scholarship who reside in Folktown,
the history of the community has been the subject of extremely thorough
research. The following gloss is by necessity very brief and as a result
somewhat superficial. Where appropriate, the author has taken pains to
refer the reader to more exhaustive and authoritative sources.

=== Prehistory and The X Documents ===

Archeological evidence suggests that small communities of agricultural
and toolmaking peoples were settled on and around around [[Arbuckle Hill]] as early
as -1100 [[EC]]. The earliest documentary evidence of this culture
are the puzzling "X Documents." More than two hundred of these documents are known
to still be in existence.

[[Image:Folktown-X-document.jpg]]

The above is a copy of the decorative cover of X Document 103,
currently in the private collection of [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]].
(The numerals, in red, are annotations by this scholar.) Like
all of the known X Documents, it is painted in remarkably permanent
vegetable pigments on carapace-leather, with distinctive orange
and purple blocks and common text elements. The texts of (1) and (2) are
the same for all known X Documents. The text of (2), with its character-forms
that prefigure the modern folktown common script, has been translated
by Herbertoid as "this Joy, it is activity which prepares for harvest" in
''Everything We Know about the Folktown X Documents'' or
as "We are amused, we are intent" by Herbertron in ''Herbertoid Knows Nothing about the Folktown X Documents''. The text of (1) is apparently
phonetic, in a script that has yet to be convincingly identified
or translated.

The text of (3) is written in what appears to be a degenerate
form of classical N-ary, with only a single dimension of meaning.
The numeral part varies from document to document, but the remainder of the
text is always the same. The text of Document 103 reads
"Five are out of balance" or "Five are foolish", followed by
the imperative "Find them".

Unlike the exteriors, the interior of the X Documents were
likely painted or written on wood-pulp paper, and no traces
of their contents survive today.

The most remarkable conclusion that can be drawn from these
documents is founded on the fact that the dyes used are
almost certainly manufactured from local agricultural products.
This, together with the large number of surviving
documents and the sites of their discovery,
leads scholars to believe the peoples of the region were shockingly
literate- it is likely that the surviving number of these
documents is close to or exceeds the population of the
region at any point before -800 [[EC]]!

=== Early History of the Region ===

Our knowledge of the classical history of the area
begins with the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbugghyll Map]], from
circa -700 [[EC]], which depicts a very
small community of serfs living surrounding a manor farm.

The next mention of the town, circa -640 [[EC]], is one of the rare
documents that survived the [[King Harandraff the Great|purge of Harandraff]],
and probably originated in the [[Proto-Harandraff Orthonormal Basis Set]]
{τ , ρ, φ}, the reign of the
"[[King Harandraff the Great|disunited king]]" known to modern
scholars as Proto-Harandraff ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0). The document is a
contains the charter for a "Free Town", the only one of it's
kind known to modern scholars. [[Blivingdel|Blivingdel's]] translation of the
preamblatory first degree of the
charter (in ''Blivingdel's History of Folktown and It's Folks'')
reads simply:

<blockquote>
You Wanted it? You Got It.<br />
The fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk<br />
Don't Come Crying to me when it all blows up in your face.<br />
We and our officers wash our hands of you<br />
The city is now called<br />
By royal authority<br />
:Chump Town
(ideogrammatic seal attributed to P-H ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0))
</blockquote>

Although the charter (as was customary at the time) also
contains secondary and tertiary structures, the secondary
content is apparently a long definition of the word (rather politely)
translated by residents as "Chump", and the tertiary content
seems to be an explicit description of rather implausible
[[Ghyllian_reproduction|mating habits]], attributed variously
to "The City", "The People", and "[[Arbugghyll|The Lord of the People, Ar Bugh]]".
What prompted the issue of the charter is still a subject of much
debate amongst historians.

=== The Folktown Court ===

(This section relies extensively on Burbleson's
''Early Folktown Court Documents in Translation, -639 [[EC]] and Early -638 [[EC]]''
Volumes I through CVI)

The issue of the royal charter for the town was followed immediately
by a declaration, at town meeting, establishing "A court of common folks to to provide for the
common order, 'cause who needs that King character, anyway" (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 4),
The first act of the judges named in the declaration was the drafting the original
court charter (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 6 through Vol VI, Pg 2044).

The papers and records of the initial Folktown court are an oasis
of plenty in an otherwise parched historical landscape.
An anonymous copyist of one of the [[Odlucian Library]]'s original editions of
''Harandraff, the Greatest Guy Ever!'' editorializes that
perhaps when confronted by the quantity of documentation
an enormously verbose judiciary had produced after one
hundred and fifty years of operation,
[[King Harandraff the Great|Harandraff's]] inquisitors for historical purity chose to
forget it existed rather than spend the years that
would be required to burn it all. (It is notable that the
page containing this commentary in the margins is the last
page copied in that particular handwriting.)

The picture these records paint of Folktown from the
time of the charter through the great civil war
is detailed and rich, but unfortunately rather narrow.

One of the first cases approached by the court, and one that sheds some light
on both the depth and the limits of these documents is the case of "Baby Alek",
investigated in detail by Herringer in his
''Mick's Executioner: Origins of the Folktown Executioner's Festival''. The case
involves a pair of families, the Hambeck and Harblock clans, both claiming
parentage of the same infant.
The case was initially presented to the court in -639 [[EC]].
Testimony lasted for four days. The
court then considered the case for a full year before reaching
the preliminary verdict that the child should be cut in half
and one half should be distributed to each party of claim.
A chronology of the remainder of the court's activities with respect
to the case follows:

<ul>
<li> -638 [[EC]]: court deliberates which half should go to whom,
debates the measurement of one-half an infant.</li>
<li> -636 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary table of legal infant metrics.</li>
<li> late -636 [[EC]]: legal infant metric table rejected.</li>
<li> -632 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary executive order deciding that
the infant should be dissolved into paste with powerful
alchemical reagents and distributed by volume.</li>
<li> -630 [[EC]]: court issues charter for "The Institute for
Reactive Chemistry in Pursuit of Civil Justice", "established for the research and development
of a reagent appropriate to the flesh and exoskeleton of children 'Without undue suffering on the part of the subject.'"</li>
<li> -628 [[EC]]: IRCPCJ Bake sales spun off into "The Institute for the Fabrication of Delicious Treats in Pursuit of Civic Justice and Alchemical Research" and ladies' auxiliary.</li>
<li> -613 [[EC]]: court records receiving seven clay jars, each containing seven [[Chesix System of Measures|wurp]] of "ouchless child solvent" from the IRCPCJ. Records also state that the IRCPCJ is receiving sufficient support from the IFDTPCJAR to continue its research independently.</li>
<li> -604 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary decision covering claimant liability for residual solvent in the liquid portions of the infant received, measured by the difference between one-half the weight of the child and the weight of the received portion, minus the weight of the jars used for the purpose of distribution, assessed at the fair market value of "the actual or a similar reagent used to disolve children to paste." Court charters "The Institute for Mercantile Research in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to determine this value.</li>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: IMRPCJ issues request to the court for the definition of "A standard and negotiable measure of value" in order to complete its report.</li>
<li> -598 [[EC]]: court establishes "The Institute for Standards in Mercantile Exchange in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to issue a currency. The ISMEPJ is endowed with "two cart-loads" of delicious baked treats.</li>
<li> -590 [[EC]]: ISMEPJ submits a declaration of rejection of charter to the court. Sub-Lochree Markleson's comments on behalf of the body are recorded as "We appreciate the brownies, really, but it is the opinion of the ISMEPJ board that you people are a pack of loons." The ISMEPJ recharters itself as the Chump Town Bank, begins minting the "Chump Chip" coin backed by harvest futures.</li>
<li> -589 [[EC]]: the IMRPCJ declares that 1 wurp of ouchless child solvent is worth zero chump chips, since the act of disolving a child in acid, even ouchless acid, is in fact of negative value to individuals and to society.</li>
<li> -587 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Mick from Hillbottom" first Marshall of the court, and orders him to execute the judgement, collect and dissolve the child, appoint witnesses, and distribute the winnings to the claimant families at no cost to the claimants.</li>
<li> -580 [[EC]]: Alek Hambeck-Harblock, a prosperous farmer, dies of natural causes.</li>
<li> -579 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Dex from Hillbottom" second Marshall of the court, and issues an order for the arrest and execution of "Mick from Hillbottom" for dereliction of duty.</li>
<li> -565 [[EC]]: Mick from Hillbottom dies in a farming accident. Cornelious Junior Crunch is appointed third Marshall, charged with the arrest and execution of Dex from Hillbottom.</li>
</ul>

Findings in this case continued formally until the Ivian court reform,
and informally continue to this day as the traditional Folktown "Executioner's Festival" appointments.
(Out of towners should note that modern appointees to the post of "Mick's Executioner"
are only charged with wearing a comical hat, buying the drinks, and selecting the
appointee at the following year's festival.)

In general, before the reforms of Odgar IV, the court continued to
operate in this fashion. It continued to issue orders and found various organizations
and institutions, but apparently was otherwise ignored by the residents
of the area. In addition to founding and overseeing alchemical, baking,
econometric, and financial institutions, the court of this period established

<ul>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for the Measurement and Maintenece of Measure of Land Parcels in PCJ''' which would eventually
lead the funding, design, and construction of the Folktown Clocktower in -490 [[EC]].</li>
<li> -570 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Philosophical Research in PCJ''' which became
the [[HANDBAG|Housewives And Nannies' Debatory Banter Association of Ghyll]]</li>
<li> -560 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Wiping that Smug Grin off of Your Face in PCJ''' which became the infamous [[Morphomancy|Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy]]</li>
<li> -551 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Municipal Earth Moving Arts in PCJ''' Which
became the famous Brotherhood of Golemists, instrumental in refining golem technology
and at the center of early [[Mechanaut]] research.</li>
<li> -520 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for Standards and Decency in Pantomime in PCJ''' which would
schism to become both the Chump Town Council for the Arts and the The Order of the Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy (SUCKS).</li>
<li> -410 [[EC]]: '''The Council for the Preservation of Legislative Tradition in PCJ''' which
in turn drew the charter for our current [[Nitenmangrey]]-influenced
[[Parliament|Parliamentary traditions]], and established a formal
parliamentary body (Although at the time with no executive power whatsoever.)</li>
</ul>

The charter of each of these institutions was accompanied by the charter
of a corresponding institution to handle bake-sales for supporting the associated
organization or endevor. The court of this period also provided for the creation of what is today the Folktown militia and its associated bake-sale operations.

In -500 [[EC]], the Chump Town Bank was renamed "The Folk Town Bank", likely for reasons of credibility. Since by this time the bank was directly involved in much of the trade between the thriving but still small community and its neighbors, the name stuck, and by -450 [[EC]] the community was known to the outside world as "Folktown".

In -420 [[EC]], the (now Folktown) court issued a declaration which at the time was thought
of as typical silliness, but which would have far reaching implications. Citing the
cycle-clause from the Chump Town Charter "the fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk",
and reasoning that not just the town but all of Ghyll was populated by folks, the court
declared that "this court's ruling knows no formal or informal border, and it resolves
to adjudicate, and through its executive to act, on petitions from all folk in all places."

At the time of what would later be called "the Grand Declaration" there had not been
a petition to rule set before the court in over one hundred years. The declaration
was dismissed as hyperbole by the residents of the hamlet, and as insanity by those
few outside of town who happened to note its issue. Copyist's commentary aside,
scholars are uncertain whether news of this declaration ever reached the ears of
[[King Harandraff the Great]] or his courtiers.

=== Folktown in the Golden Age ===

At the end of the [[Bute University|great civil war]] in -390 [[EC]],
the life of the small community of Folktown was still very similar to
the life in neighboring farming communities. While the small size,
the independent traditions of the community, and its easily visible clock tower
shielded the region from the
[[Cartographer's Nerves|potentially catastrophic geographic effects of the revolution]], The economic panic accompanying
the war caused the collapse of the Folk Town Bank and ended Folktown's role
as a center of finance. The town
boasted only a court council that most considered a collection of harmless cranks
and variety of research and philanthropic organizations, few of which had very
broad effects or implications for the average resident beyond the easy
availability of low cost brownies from increasingly competative charity bake sales.
Indeed, saturation in the brownie market is what many scholars believe led to the fairly
poor record of success for most of the "in PCJ" organizations chartered
by the court after -400 [[EC]]. While the golden age of Ghyll marched
on through the 300's, Folktown was largely left behind.

The "space rock" disaster in -306 [[EC]] marked the an important turning
point for this peaceful, if eccentric, village. The seemingly random death
of fifteen children playing in Stockwood field, the site of space rock impact,
prompted Arthir Jhostings to publish his breakthrough paper on [[Cataclysmatology]],
and began to attract the attention of the scholars and (more importantly) the students
of [[Bute University]] to the town. Also, in mourning, the Folktown Arts
Council established an annual of public music performance in memory of the
lost children. These "rock concerts," initially featuring local musicians
singing sad ballads, soon began to attract more qualified and diverse
performers with the promise of easy crowds and cheap brownies.

Many years later, the two processes set in motion by the grim catalyst
of the disaster would reach a high point with the -275 [[EC]] Stockwood Music Festival. The
festival, organized by the Folktown Arts Council, was presented
on the same field where the disaster had occurred, and featured 32 of the most
popular musical acts of the era over three Summer days. The organizers
planned for an attendance of 2500 people (an attendance count considered
"overly optimistic" by some members of the FAC.) Current estimates of
actual attendance are above 10,000 souls, including the entire student
body Bute University. The number of brownies purchased from various
folktown organizations over those three days likely exceeded the combined sales
of the preceding six years. When the smoke cleared, Folktown's organizations
were wealthy and Folktown's reputation as a center of arts and culture was
legend. The Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy were appalled,
and their reaction began a radicalizing of the order that would lead to
the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]]. The expense of providing for
the crowd bankrupted the Folktown Arts Council. Over half of the university
students in attendance did not return to the Bute University campus and
settled together with the farming and baking folk of the town.

One of the students who was in attendance but did not settle in town
was a young [[Odgar IV]].

=== the IVian Reforms ===

in -263 [[EC]], the third year of the Ivian Rejah, Odgar IV returned to folktown
to attend the memorial concert. The concerts at this time were much smaller
than the Stockwood "phenomenon" of '74, owing to the still almost-insolvent state
of the Folktown Arts Council combined with the growing activism of the Sisters of
Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy,
and the Rejah commented disappointment to his historian (at this time the historian
was retained by Odgar IV himself out of his own private funds, as the renown
and power of Odgar IV was still in line with the standard level of any other anonymous
Iganefta neighborhood rejah.) After the concert, however, Odgar IV had the opportunity
to observe the Folktown court and parliament in deliberation, and see the effects
of the now once again thriving institutions surrounding them.

The large body of relatively well educated
but un-credentialled (and therefore inexpensive) labor made up of the
Bute Drop-outs, combined with the massive influx of cash resulting from
the brownie sales bonanza, had sparked a renessance within the various
research institutes and councils of the town. Odgar IV actually met and had drinks
with a young Mek Meckton and Dirk Blood-Skull-Saint Monsterface, whose
pioneering directorships of the Brotherhood of Golemists and the
Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy respectively would later become legend.
He also had the opportunity to debate at length the role of public musical performance
in moral community life with an unnamed Sister of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy
(some folk traditions claim that this sister was the woman who would
in death be known as Sister Ursula Sandwich, although this is extremely unlikely in fact.)

In ''His Last Name is "Danger": A Memoir of Odgar IV'',
Odgar IV's historian would record:
<blockquote>
<p>By the time we left, his disappointment had turned to
a sharp, uncharacteristic excitement. On the road back to [[Iganefta]],
he dictated an account of his meetings and observations for almost an
hour, all the while munching brownies from a bag. It is the only time I ever saw the
great Rejah talk with his mouth full. Finally, I protested.</p>

<p>"The Great and Grand Rejah," I said, "It is said that to a fool,
all the wisdom of the wise is as the ravings of madmen. It may be
then what this fool heard from each and every person we spoke with
were words of wisdom."</p>

<p>The Rejah replied: "In the last three days I have spoken with
27 people. Three were madmen, three were senile, four were dreamers,
three were con men, two were salesmen, four were farmers, two were beggars,
two were drunk, one was a zelot,
one was psychotic, and two were children. None treated me with
respect due to my station."</p>

<p>"But not one, not '''one''' of these people mispronounced my name."</p>
</blockquote>

Odgar IV would maintain a deep interest in Folktown from that day until
his untimely death. During the next 24 years of the he would regularly
intervene in the life of Folktown, by decree, through [[Rejah|rejah decision]],
and through other means. He also arranged to perform there publically each year for the
remainder of his life at the memorial music festival, although he never performed
any of his own compositions on these occasions.

==== Early Ivian Reforms ====

By -257 [[EC]] Odgar IV's power and influence throughout Ghyll
were great enough for him to begin to act directly in the life of Folktown.
His early reforms (from -257 to -250) include the renaming of the streets,
roads, and landforms of Folktown and the surrounding region, a
re-endowment of the Folktown Arts Council from his personal treasury, the
creation of a standards body with the power to impound and destroy tainted
or low quality Baked-Goods (a reform that was for a time rather unpopular
in Folktown itself, but resulted in a rise in both the price and the quality
of the now famous Folktown brownie), the establishment of branches of many Folktown
professional organizations and institutions at first in Iganefta and later througout Ghyll,
and the creation of an advisory "Board of the Wise", with members chosen from these
organizations (so that many were Folktowners), to reside in his Iganefta court.

==== The Radical Reforms and the Grand Declaration ====

The [[Arbuckle_Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]] of -250 [[EC]] appeared to
have a profound effect on Odgar IV's attitude toward Folktown. Cynics have
noted that the Rejah's "mellowing out", his heartfelt speech and
his call for canonization of the Martyr were accompanied by his draft of
many of the barkeeps and restauranteurs responsible for the Arbuckle Hill Uprising to
officer's posts in the Folktown militia.

Later that year Odgar IV began the most radical of his Folktown-centric reforms by encouraging the construction of the extension to the [[Cataract Road]] that leads through Folktown
(by picking out the wealthiest looking attendant at his court, once per week, and
"recommending" a donation to the effort.) The same year, at his annual Folktown performance,
he announced a re-charter of the court and of parliament, presented both bodies
with charters and articles he had drafted himself, and announced the retirements
of all sitting members of both bodies and of the field marshall of the Folktown militia.
The news came as a shock to the judges and representatives. However, due to the very
generous "honoraria in recognition for years of service" awarded personally by Odgar
IV to each member of the group there was a great deal of cooperation from the outgoing officials.

In -247 [[EC]], with the completion of the Cataract Road extension, Odgar IV
began to consult with, and defer to, the new bodies in the course of
his day to day administration. Citing "the Grand Declaration" of -420 [[EC]], he
officially claimed that the source of his authority
was the court and parliament of Folktown. Of course, the new charters for both institutions
stated that Odgar IV himself, for the duration of his life, possessed the sole right
to appoint and dismiss members at will or dissolve and reform either body, and he
was also to personally hold the post of Field Marshall of the Folktown militia for life.

=== Post-Rejah Folktown ===

The absence of political crisis following Odgar IV's death in -239 [[EC]] was
remarkable. Perhaps owing in part to the manner of their ascension,
the court and parliament (and the Folktown militia) took up the reigns of
government with little fuss. The Ivian charters provided for popular elections
to Parliament and for a process of Parliament appointments to court positions,
the charters were followed without question. [[Songs_of_Odgar_The_Fourth|Daisy and Brandi]]
continued their joint administration of the Folktown Arts Council with a minimum of
bloodshed, and continued to lay the foundation for the modern [[Amphitheatre Aristocracy]].

=== Modern Folktown ===

The people of Folktown can likely speak for themselves about the last two
hundred years; I have reproduced the following from the pamphlet ''Folktown!'', published
this year by the Folktown Board of Commerce and Tourism, in PCJ:

<blockquote>
<p>Recent history has seen the growth of Folktown from an honest,
hard-working farm and brownie community into a modern, industrial
(but still honest and hard-working) city.
The founding of Folktown University in -220 [[EC]] was quickly followed by
the founding of industrial giants the Folktown Steamworks Company (-199 [[EC]]),
and Alchemical Research Laboratories (-197 [[EC]]). The Folktown Commodity
Exchange first rang its opening bell in -191 [[EC]].</p>

<p>The famous Folktown court system had its second major overhaul in -179 [[EC]] in
response to the overwhelming compassion by the people of Folktown and all over Ghyll
to the death of [[Houvers|Adamantine Areola Duphine]],
resulting in the "Third Folktown Court Charter" that is the law of the land
to this day. The political change did nothing to slow the growth of the
now vibrant city. In addition to scholarship and industry, modern
Folktown also boasts an impressive [[Paramount Queen|tourist trade]],
and not one but [[EctoMechanauts|two major sites of EctoMechanaut Manufacture]],
the Ghyll Mechanician's Guild Headquarters and the Folktown Mechanoworks
Corporation. Even after [[Agony uncle|recent unfortunate events]] prompted in
a major downturn in the Charitable Brownie Market, the people, culture,
and economy of Folktown are still going strong!</p>
</blockquote>

Ghyll:Folktown

2005-06-25T14:04:32Z

Joe Bowers: adding category

In only a bit more than 200 years, the once tiny hamlet of Folktown
has emerged a center for industry, culture, and thought.

or possibly a center for business, the arts, and scholarship.

or at least a powerful source of pollution, pretension, and
some of the finest grant writing since [[Aminfarances]].

== A Gloss of the History of Folktown ==

Due to the large number of patrons of scholarship who reside in Folktown,
the history of the community has been the subject of extremely thorough
research. The following gloss is by necessity very brief and as a result
somewhat superficial. Where appropriate, the author has taken pains to
refer the reader to more exhaustive and authoritative sources.

=== Prehistory and The X Documents ===

Archeological evidence suggests that small communities of agricultural
and toolmaking peoples were settled on and around around [[Arbuckle Hill]] as early
as -1100 [[EC]]. The earliest documentary evidence of this culture
are the puzzling "X Documents". More than two hundred of these documents are known
to still be in existence.

[[Image:Folktown-X-document.jpg]]

The above is a copy of the decorative cover of X Document 103,
currently in the private collection of [[Baron Claude Lloyd Albert Smallwood]].
(The numerals, in red, are annotations by this scholar). Like
all of the known X Documents, it is painted in remarkably permanent
vegetable pigments on carapace-leather, with distinctive orange
and purple blocks and common text elements. The texts of (1) and (2) are
the same for all known X Documents. The text of (2), with its character-forms
that prefigure the modern folktown common script, has been translated
by Herbertoid as "this Joy, it is activity which prepares for harvest" in
''Everything We Know about the Folktown X Documents'' or
as "We are amused, we are intent" by Herbertron in ''Herbertoid Knows Nothing about the Folktown X Documents''. The text of (1) is apparently
phonetic, in a script that has yet to be convincingly identified
or translated.

The numeral part of (3), in what appears to be a degenerate
form of classical N-ary (with only one dimension of meaning)
varies from document to document, but the remainder of the
text is also always the same. The text of Document 103 reads
"Five are out of balance" or "Five are foolish", followed by
the imperative "Find them".

Unlike the exteriors, the interior of the X Documents were
likely painted or written on wood-pulp paper, and no traces
of their contents survive today.

The most remarkable conclusion that can be drawn from these
documents is founded on the fact that the dyes used are
almost certainly manufactured from local agricultural products.
This, together with the large number of surviving
documents and the region in which they were discovered,
leads scholars to believe the peoples of the region were shockingly
literate- it is likely that the surviving number of these
documents is close to or exceeds the population of the
region at any point before -800 [[EC]]!

=== Early History of the Region ===

Our knowledge of the classical history of the area
begins with the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbugghyll Map]], from
circa -700 [[EC]], which depicts a very
small community of serfs living surrounding a manor farm.

The next mention of the town, circa -640 [[EC]], is one of the rare
documents that survived the [[King Harandraff the Great|purge of Harandraff]],
and probably originated in the [[Proto-Harandraff Orthonormal Basis Set]]
{τ , ρ, φ}, the reign of the
"[[King Harandraff the Great|disunited king]]" known to modern
scholars as Proto-Harandraff ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0). The document is a
contains the charter for a "Free Town", the only one of it's
kind known to modern scholars. [[Blivingdel|Blivingdel's]] translation of the
preamblatory first degree of the
charter (in ''Blivingdel's History of Folktown and It's Folks'')
reads simply:

<blockquote>
You Wanted it? You Got It.<br />
The fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk<br />
Don't Come Crying to me when it all blows up in your face.<br />
We and our officers wash our hands of you<br />
The city is now called<br />
By royal authority<br />
:Chump Town
(ideogrammatic seal attributed to P-H ((-730, -600), 9ρ, 0)
</blockquote>

Although the charter (as was customary at the time) also
contains secondary and tertiary structures, the secondary
is apparently a long definition of the word (rather politely)
translated by residents as "Chump", and the tertiary structure
seems a rather explicit description of rather implausible
[[Ghyllian_reproduction|mating habits]], attributed variously
to "The City", "The People", and "[[Arbugghyll|The Lord of the People, Ar Bugh]]".
What prompted the issue of the charter is still a subject of much
debate amongst historians.

=== The Folktown Court ===

(This section relies extensively on Burbleson's
''Early Folktown Court Documents in Translation, -639 [[EC]] and Early -638 [[EC]]''
Volumes I through CVI)

The issue of the royal charter for the town was followed immediately
by a declaration, at town meeting, of "A court of common folks to to provide for the
common order, 'cause who needs that King character, anyway" (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 4),
The original judges, named in the declaration, followed by drafting the original
court charter (Burbleson, Vol I, Pg. 6 through Vol VI, Pg 2044).

The papers and records of the initial Folktown court are an oasis
of plenty in an otherwise parched historical landscape.
The anonymous copyist of one of the [[Odlucian_Library]]'s original editions of
''Harandraff, the Greatest Guy Ever!'' editorializes that
perhaps when confronted by the quantity of documentation
an enormously verbose judiciary had produced after one
hundred and fifty years of operation,
[[King Harandraff the Great|Harandraff's]] inquisitors for historical purity chose to
forget it existed rather than spend the years that
would be required to burn it all. (It is notable that the
page containing this commentary in the margins is the last
page copied in that particular handwriting).

The picture these records paint of Folktown from the
time of the charter through the great civil war
is detailed and rich, but unfortunately rather narrow.

One of the first cases approached by the court, and one that sheds some light
on both the depth and the limits of these documents is the case of "Baby Alek",
investigated in detail by Herringer in his
''Mick's Executioner: Origins of the Folktown Executioner's Festival''. It
involves a pair of families, the Hambeck and Harblock clans, both claiming
parentage of the same infant (identified before the court as "Alek").
The case was initially presented to the court in -639 [[EC]].
Apparently testimony lasted for four days; the
court considered the case for a full year before reaching
the preliminary verdict that the child should be cut in half
and one half distributed to each party of claim.
A chronology of the remainder of the court's activities with respect
to the case follows:

<ul>
<li> -638 [[EC]]: court deliberates which half should go to whom,
debates the measurement of one-half an infant.</li>
<li> -636 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary table of legal infant metrics.</li>
<li> late -636 [[EC]]: legal infant metric table rejected.</li>
<li> -632 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary executive order deciding that
the infant should be dissolved to paste with powerful
alchemical reagents and distributed by volume.</li>
<li> -630 [[EC]]: court issues charter for "The Institute for
Reactive Chemistry in Pursuit of Civil Justice", "established for the research and development
of a reagent appropriate to the flesh and exoskeleton of children 'Without undue suffering on the part of the subject'".</li>
<li> -628 [[EC]]: IRCPCJ Bake sales spun off into "The Institute for the Fabrication of Delicious Treats in Pursuit of Civic Justice and Alchemical Research" and ladies' auxiliary.</li>
<li> -613 [[EC]]: court records receiving 7 clay jars, each containing 7 [[Chesix System of Measures|wurp]] of "ouchless child solvent" from the IRCPCJ, and that the IRCPCJ is receiving sufficient support from the IFDTPCJAR to continue its research independently.</li>
<li> -604 [[EC]]: court issues preliminary decision covering claimant liability for residual solvent in the liquid portions of the infant received, measured by the difference between one-half the weight of the child and the weight of the received portion, minus the weight of the jars used for the purpose of distribution, assessed at the fair market value of "the actual or similar reagent used to disolve children to paste." Court charters "The Institute for Mercantile Research in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to determine this value.</li>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: IMRPCJ issues request to the court for the definition of "A negotiable measure of value" in order to complete its report.</li>
<li> -598 [[EC]]: court establishes "The Institute for Standards in Mercantile Exchange in Pursuit of Civil Justice" to issue a currency. The ISMEPJ is endowed with "two cart-loads" of delicious baked treats.</li>
<li> -590 [[EC]]: ISMEPJ submits a declaration of rejection of charter to the court. Sub-Lochree Markleson's comments on behalf of the body are recorded as "We appreciate the brownies, really, but it is the opinion of the ISMEPJ board that you people are a pack of loons." The ISMEPJ recharters itself as the Chump Town Bank, begins minting the "Chump Chip" coin backed by harvest futures.</li>
<li> -589 [[EC]]: the IMRPCJ declares that 1 wurp of ouchless child solvent is worth zero chump chips, since the act of disolving a child in acid, even ouchless acid, is in fact of negative value to individuals and to society.</li>
<li> -587 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Mick from Hillbottom" first Marshall of the court, and orders him to execute the judgement, collect and dissolve the child, appoint witnesses, and distribute the winnings to the claimant families at no cost to the claimants.</li>
<li> -580 [[EC]]: Alek Hambeck-Harblock, a prosperous farmer, dies of natural causes.</li>
<li> -579 [[EC]]: the court appoints "Dex from Hillbottom" second Marshall of the court, issues an order for the arrest and execution of "Mick from Hillbottom" for dereliction of duty.</li>
<li> -565 [[EC]]: Mick from Hillbottom dies in a farming accident. Cornelious Junior Crunch is appointed third Marshall, charged with the arrest and execution of Dex from Hillbottom.</li>
</ul>

Findings in this case actually continued formally until the Ivian court reform,
and informally continue to this day in the form of the "Executioner's Festival" appointments.
(Out of towners should note that modern appointees to the post of "Mick's Executioner"
are only charged with wearing a comical hat, buying the drinks, and selecting the next
appointee at the following year's festival.)

In general, before the reforms of Odgar IV, the court continued to
operate in this fashion, issuing orders and founding various organizations
and institutions, but apparently being otherwise ignored by the residents
of the area. In addition to founding and overseeing alchemical, baking,
econometric, and financial institutions, the court established
(The charter of each of the institutions below was also accompanied by the charter
of a corresponding institution to handle bake-sales for supporting the associated
organization or endevor):

<ul>
<li> -599 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for the Measurement and Maintenece of Measure of Land Parcels in PCJ''' which would eventually
lead the funding, design, and construction of the Folktown Clocktower in -490 [[EC]].</li>
<li> -570 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Philosophical Research in PCJ''' which became
the [[HANDBAG|Housewives And Nannies' Debatory Banter Association of Ghyll]]</li>
<li> -560 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Wiping that Smug Grin off of Your Face in PCJ''' which became the infamous [[Morphomancy|Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy]]</li>
<li> -551 [[EC]]: '''The Institute for Municipal Earth Moving Arts in PCJ''' Which
became the famous Brotherhood of Golemists, which refined golem technology
and was the center of early [[Mechanaut]] research.</li>
<li> -520 [[EC]]: '''The Committee for Standards and Decency in Pantomime in PCJ''' which
splintered to become both the Chump Town Council for the Arts and the The Order of the Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy (SUCKS).</li>
<li> -410 [[EC]]: '''The Council for the Preservation of Legislative Tradition in PCJ''' which
in turn drew the charter for our current [[Nitenmangrey]]-influenced
[[Parliament|Parliamentary traditions]], and established a formal
parliamentary body (Although at the time with no executive power whatsoever).</li>
</ul>

The court of this period also provided for the creation of what is today the Folktown militia and its associated bake-sale operations.

In -500 [[EC]], the Chump Town Bank changed its name to "The Folk Town Bank", likely for reasons of credibility. Since by this time it was directly involved in much of the trade between the thriving but still small community and its neighbors, the name stuck, and by -450 [[EC]] the community was known to the outside world as "Folktown".

In -420 [[EC]], the (now Folktown) court issued a declaration which at the time was thought
of as typical silliness, but which would have far reaching implications. Citing the
cycle-clause from the Chump Town Charter "the fate of the folk is in the hands of the folk",
and reasoning that not just the town but all of Ghyll was populated by folks, the court
declared that "this court's ruling knows no formal or informal border, and it resolves
to adjudicate, and executive to act, on petitions from all folk in all places."

At the time of what would later be called "the Grand Declaration" there had not been
a petition to rule set before the court in over one hundred years. The declaration
was dismissed as hyperbole by the residents of the hamlet, and as insanity by those
few outside of town who happened to note its issue. Copyist's commentary aside,
scholars are uncertain whether news of this declaration ever reached the ears of
[[King Harandraff the Great]] or his courtiers.

=== Folktown in the Golden Age ===

At the end of the [[Bute University|great civil war]] in -390 [[EC]],
the life of the small community of Folktown was still very similar to
the life in neighboring farming communities. While the small size and
independent traditions of the community and (and it's easily visible clock tower)
shielded the region from the
[[Cartographer's Nerves|potentially catastrophic geographic effects of the revolution]], The economic panic accompanying
the war caused the collapse of the Folk Town Bank, and ended Folktown's role
as a center of finance. The town
boasted only a court council that most considered a collection of harmless cranks
and variety of research and philanthropic organizations, few of which very
broad effects or implications for the average resident beyond the easy
availability of low cost brownies from increasingly competative charity bake sales.
Indeed, saturation in the brownie market is what many scholars believe led to the fairly
poor record of success for most of the "in PCJ" organizations chartered
by the court in this period. While the golden age of Ghyll marched
on through the 300's, Folktown was largely left behind.

The "space rock" disaster in -306 [[EC]] marked the an important turning
point for this peaceful, if eccentric, village. The seemingly random death
of fifteen children playing in Stockwood field, the site of space rock impact,
prompted Arthir Jhostings to publish his breakthrough paper on [[Cataclysmatology]],
and began to attract the attention of the scholars and (more importantly) the students
of [[Bute University]] to the town. Also, in mourning, the Folktown Arts
Council established an annual of public music performance in memory of the
lost children. These "rock concerts," initially featuring local musicians
singing sad ballads, soon began to attract more qualified and diverse
musicians to the promise of easy crowds and cheap brownies.

Many years later, the two processes set in motion by this grim catalyst
would reach a high point with the -275 [[EC]] Stockwood Music Festival. The
festival, organized by the Folktown Arts Council, was presented
on the same field where the disaster had occurred, and featured 32 of the most
popular musical acts of the era over three Summer days. The organizers
planned for an attendance of 2500 people (an attendance count considered
"overly optimistic" by some members of the FAC). Current estimates of
actual attendance are above 10,000, including the entire student
body Bute University. The number of brownies purchased from various
folktown organizations over those three days likely exceeded the combined sales
of the preceding six years. When the smoke cleared, Folktown's organizations
were wealthy and Folktown's reputation as a center of arts and culture was
legend. The Sisters of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy were appalled,
and their reaction began a radicalizing of the order that would lead to
the [[Arbuckle Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]]. The expense of providing for
the crowd bankrupted the Folktown Arts Council. Over half of the university
students in attendance did not return to the Bute University campus and
settled together with the farming and baking folk of the town.

One of the students who was in attendance but did not settle in town
was a young [[Odgar IV]].

=== the IVian Reforms ===

in -263 [[EC]], the third year of the Ivian Rejah, Odgar IV returned to folktown
to attend the memorial concert. The concerts at this time were much smaller
than the Stockwood "phenomenon" of '74, owing to the still almost-insolvent state
of the Folktown Arts Council combined with the growing activism of the Sisters of
Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy,
and the Rejah commented disappointment to his historian (at this time the historian
was retained by Odgar IV himself out of his own private funds, as the renown
and power of the Iv Rejah was still in line with the standard level of Rejah
authority.) However, during the visit he had the opportunity to observe the
Folktown court and parliament in deliberation, and see the effects of the now once again thriving
institutions surrounding them.

The large body of relatively well educated
but un-credentialled (and therefore inexpensive) labor made up of the
Bute Drop-outs, combined with the massive influx of cash resulting from
the brownie sales bonanza, had sparked a renessance within the various
research institutes and councils, and Odgar IV actually met and had drinks
with a young Mek Meckton and Dirk Blood-Skull-Saint Monsterface, whose
pioneering directorships of the Brotherhood of Golemists and the
Dark Conventicle of Morphomancy respectively would later become legend.
He also had the opportunity to debate the role of public music performance
in moral community life with an unnamed Sister of Universal Civic Kindness and Sympathy
(some folk traditions claim that this sister was the woman who would
in death be known as Sister Ursula Sandwich, although this is extremely unlikely in fact.)

In ''His Last Name is "Danger": A Memoir of Odgar IV'', Odgar IV's historian
would record:
<blockquote>
<p>By the time we left, his disappointment had turned to
a sharp, uncharacteristic anticipation. On the road back to [[Iganefta]],
he dictated an account of his meetings and observations for almost an
hour, all the while munching brownies from a bag. It is the only time I ever saw the
great Rejah talk with his mouth full. Finally, I protested.</p>

<p>"The Great and Grand Rejah," I said, "It is said that to a fool,
all the wisdom of the wise is as the ravings of madmen. It may be
then what this fool heard from each and every person we spoke with
were words of wisdom."</p>

<p>The Rejah replied: "In the last three days I have spoken with
27 people. Three were madmen, three were senile, four were dreamers,
three were con men, two were salesmen, four were farmers, two were beggars,
two were drunk, one was a zelot,
one was psychotic, and two were children. None treated me with
respect due to my station."</p>

<p>"But not one, not '''one''' of these people mispronounced my name."</p>
</blockquote>

Odgar IV's would maintain a deep interest in Folktown from that day until
his untimely death. During the next 24 years of the Iv Rejah he would regularly
intervene in the life of Folktown, by decree, through [[Rejah|rejah decision]],
and through other means. He also arranged to perform there publically each year for the
remainder of his life at the memorial music festival, although he never performed
any of his own compositions.

==== Early Ivian Reforms ====

By -257 [[EC]] the Odgar IV's power and influence throughout Ghyll
were great enough for him to begin to act directly in the life of Folktown.
His early reforms (from -257 to -250) include the renaming of the streets,
roads, and landforms of Folktown and it's surrounding region, a
re-endowment of the Folktown Arts Council from his personal treasury, the
creation of a standards body with the power to impound and destroy tainted
or low quality Baked-Goods (a reform that was for a time rather unpopular
in Folktown itself, but resulted in a rise in both the price and the quality
of the now famous Folktown brownie), the establishment of branches of many Folktown
professional organizations and institutions at first in Iganefta and later througout Ghyll,
and the creation of an advisory "Board of the Wise", with members chosen from these
organizations (so that many were Folktowners), to reside in his Iganefta court.

==== The Radical Reforms and the Grand Declaration ====

The [[Arbuckle_Hill|Arbuckle Hill Uprising]] of -250 [[EC]] appeared to
have a profound effect on Odgar IV's attitude toward Folktown. Cynics have
noted that the Rejah's "Mellowing Out", and his heartfelt speech and
canonization of the Martyr was accompanied by his draft of
many of the barkeeps and restauranteurs of the Arbuckle Hill Uprising into
officer's posts in the Folktown militia.

Later that year Odgar IV began his most radical Folktown centric reforms by encouraging the construction of the extension to the [[Cataract Road]] that leads through Folktown
(by picking out the wealthiest looking attendant at his court, once per week, and
"recommending" a donation to the effort.) The same year, at his annual Folktown performance,
he announced a re-charter of the court and of parliament, presented both bodies
with charters and articles he had drafted himself, and announced the retirements
of all sitting members of both bodies and the field marshall of the Folktown militia.
While this came as a shock to the judges and representatives, due to the very
generous "honoraria in recognition for years of service" awarded personally by Odgar
IV to each member of the group there was a great deal of cooperation from the outgoing members.

In -247 [[EC]], with the completion of the Cataract Road extension, Odgar IV
began to consult with, and defer to, the new bodies in the course of
his day to day administration. Citing "the Grand Declaration" of -420 [[EC]], he
officially claimed that the source of his authority
was the court and parliament of Folktown. Of course, the new charters for both institutions
stated that Odgar IV himself, for the duration of his life, possessed the sole right
to appoint and dismiss members at will or dissolve and reform either body, and during this time he
personally held the post of Field Marshall of the Folktown militia for life.

=== Post-Rejah Folktown ===

The absence of political crisis following Odgar IV's death in -239 [[EC]] was
remarkable. Perhaps owing in part to the manner of their ascension,
the court and parliament (and the Folktown militia) took up the reigns of
government with little fuss. The Ivian charters provided for popular election
to Parliament and for a process of Parliament appointment to court positions,
the charters were followed without question. [[Songs_of_Odgar_The_Fourth|Daisy and Brandi]]
continued their joint administration of the Folktown Arts Council with a minimum of
bloodshed, and continued to lay the foundation for the modern [[Amphitheatre Aristocracy]].

The people of Folktown can likely speak for themselves about the last two
hundred years; I have reproduced the following from ''Folktown!'', produced
this year by the Folktown Board of Commerce and Tourism, in PCJ:

<blockquote>
<p>Recent history has seen the growth of Folktown from an honest,
hard-working farm and brownie community into a modern, industrial
(but still honest and hard-working) city.
The founding of Folktown University in -220 [[EC]] was quickly followed by
the founding of industrial giants the Folktown Steamworks Company (-199 [[EC]]),
and Alchemical Research Laboratories (-197 [[EC]]). The Folktown Commodity
Exchange rang its opening bell in -191 [[EC]].</p>

<p>The famous Folktown court system had its second major overhaul in -179 [[EC]] in
response to the overwhelming compassion by the people of Folktown and all over Ghyll
to the death of [[Houvers|Adamantine Areola Duphine]],
resulting in the "Third Folktown Court Charter" that is the law of the land
to this day. The political change did nothing to slow the growth of the
now vibrant city. In addition to scholarship and industry, modern
Folktown also boasts and impressive [[Paramount Queen|tourist trade]],
and not one but [[EctoMechanaut|two major sites of EctoMechanaut Manufacture]],
the Ghyll Mechanician's Guild Headquarters and the Folktown Mechanoworks
Corporation. Even after [[Agony uncle|recent unfortunate events]] ushered in
a major downturn in the Charitable Brownie Market, the people, culture,
and economy of Folktown are still going strong!</p>
