Army of Whunn (basic draft)

The founding of [[Bute University]] formally dates to -402 [[EC]] when a "group of freethinkers, Teachers, landed nobility, and their respected hangers-on" ([[User:Bartmoss|Scholar Bartmoss]]) established the beginnings of [[Bute University]]. Originally, there were no divisions between them, and any scholar would undertake any topic of their choosing. This is why some of the earliest books in the University library dwell on such conflicting and confusing topics.

The University was almost destroyed shortly after its founding. It was three years later (-399 [[EC]]), when the book that triggered the Civil War was published. The authorship of "King H. is a Ninny and So's His Family Too" remains unclear to this date, since the author's name was not printed in the volume. However, most scholars attribute the text to the University's founding historian, [[Lapernees]]. Since no intact copies of "King H. is a Ninny..." survived the war, textual analysis is impossible.

[[King Harandraff the Great|Harandraff]] took extreme offense at the content of "King H. is a Ninny and So's His Family Too" and called on Lord [[Exis of Whunn]] to raise an army with which he would punish the entire town of Bute

Whunn gathered troops from near and far. Peasants, sailors, shopkeepers, farmers and huntsmen were all conscripted into the new military force. But Lord Whunn sought to sharpen the power of the army he had gathered to a scalpel-like precision. Whunn's army was armed with typical armor and weapons for the period. But in addition, each soldier was equipped with a pair of scissors and a bag of charcoal. Each soldier would be able to cut offensive portions from any page, and immediately immolate the offending passage using their charcoal to ignite the required pyre.

The whole army was given training in specific words, phrases, and concepts which they were to combat. Special commando units were formed for the targeting of rude words. Unfortunately, the soldiers were not issued flint and steel, and very, very few of them could kindle a fire unaided.

The Army of Whunn arrived outside the gates of Bute, ready to cut and slice and burn, but completely unprepared for the city's gates to be closed to them. Although it had not been a part of their training, they were a rowdy bunch, and enough of a threat that the citizens of Bute kept their gates closed to them for the next six months.

'''Citations''': [[Exis of Whunn]], [[Lapernees]], [[Bute University]], [[King Harandraff the Great]].
