Ghyll:Boing

Boing is the childhood hero of probably every young Ghyllian to have grown up since the first series of Boing Lumics were written by Lufford Grommie (a cousin of Rikkard Grommie) back in -71EC. Their enduring endearance is most ironic given that even though Lufford was from one of the richest publishing families in Ghyll he encountered tremendous resistence to their distribution.

Boing is a crime-solving horse who has springs fitted to his hooves instead of horseshoes, allowing him to bounce over his enemies and thereby foil his dastardly foes. The end of each series of ten lumics comes to a climax with Boing defeating The Beast in some way. Lufford Grommie was a student of history, and after researching the history of Agarttha spent much of his time attempting to fight the sad rumours that haunt the foothills of the Jorvyll mountain region (where Lufford grew up), terrorising its people. Through Boing, he managed to succeed largely in his goal, and also spread awareness of the region through the rest of Ghyll. The area immediately east of Dŵplat, and especially the Tíâgrídíg Valleys, are increasingly becoming a holiday destination for those seeking out the sites of Boing's early adventures.
