Ghyll:Dreamy period

2005-11-03T22:46:15Z

Vladimir the 16th:

The Dreamy Period (circa -1680 [[EC]] to circa -1580 [[EC]]) is characterized by a spate of prophetic visions, rather odd art, and horrible migraines, none of which were very good.

While there were 167 books of prophecy published in this time period, the fact the only one ever actually predicted the future fails to show that this was anything special, beyond three very stupid publishers. The fact that that one book was Brother Oarb’s Big Book of Bird Migrations doesn’t really help any either.

However, by far the most famous work of the period was the Book of the Abyss by Charis Laronge, a rather mislead Ghyllian who believed that, in -1660 [[EC]], the world would be consumed by [[Things Ghylliankind Was Not Meant to Know]]. Throughout Ghyll, people spent the next hundred preparing for the predestined war that the book predicted. Needless to say, when the dark armies that were supposed to envelope the world failed too do so, people were a bit angry at him and did some needlessly mean things to his 52-year-old grave.

Likewise, the art of the time was an equal failure, but the failure for which this time period of Ghyllian history is named. The time period is not named for any sort of surreal, dream-like quality to the art, but rather because it looks like the artwork was painted by someone who had just gotten up out of bed with a very bad hangover and decided to snap a few out before lunch. Consequently, most were not that original, mostly featuring a scantily clad [[Busco]] whacking people with large shining implements, ranging from, at best, the [[Horreld blade]] to, at worst, a stick with a large nail on the end.

The only real artist of any worth produced during the time period was Harover who made the hangover in the morning look work. Somehow, he succeeded in making paintings so horrible that they transcended all notions of good taste and beauty and were immortalized forever. However, that is not to say he was that original. His most famous work, [[Busco]] Whompin’ Dem Bad Guys, along with the rest of his fifty odd paintings, featured Busco “whonpin” people in one pose or another. The only real reason that any other paintings of this time period are worth anything is that art critics tell us they are.

The migraines originated from said artwork.

Vladimir the 16th:

Little is known of this mysterious figure who has made brief appearances beginning with the publication in -1648 EC of his first work, Traveling the Dagger Seas, until his eventual disappearance in -1633 EC.

This scholar has been unable to find any records of Lefkrane's life before -1648. We know that he was born some time between -1673 EC and -1683 EC. Currently, there is conflict among such academics as myself as to the place of origin of this man. Most place his birth in the region around [[Lake Crimm]], explaining that the reason not a single historical text mentions from where he hails is the natives’ lack of [[Dendel's stripes]]. However, there are several fringe groups that place his birth anywhere from the [[Sarfelogian Mountains]] to the [[Plain of Brahang]] on largely foundless beliefs.

It is believed that he joined a trade caravan early in his life until he eventually got the funding from an unkown patron for an expedition to explore the [[Dagger Seas]]. If it were not for the discovery of the [[Nitenmangrey]] culture on this expedition, the expedition would have been largely fruitless. He published his journal, calling it Traveling the Dagger Seas, however would never again receive funding for an expedition.

Kebonston refused to give up and soon became a prominent member of several royal courts throughout Ghyll and became known for his acerbic wit and humor. He seemed to have a knack for turning up just in time to witness a great social upheaval within the nation and would afterwards disappear again. These appearances ran from -1646 EC until his final appearance in -1633 in the court of [[Llysver the Doomed]] and made his legendary insult to Llysver’s brother, Harover. A few weeks later he would disappear for the last time. Shortly after his disappearance a book supposedly written by him, titled Life in the Courts of Royalty, detailing his first-hand experiences with social revolt made its way through Ghyll.--[[User:Vladimir the 16th|Vladimir the 16th]] 01:47, 4 Aug 2005 (EDT)
