Notes from Nochet from Tales of the Reaching Moon #11

[XXVIII. 33-098] No one may enter the Maslo city of Jolin. in Flanch on the Onlaks peninsula, without a two pound bag of salt, which is used to poison the land around the city and prevent the jungle encroaching further.

[XXVIII. 33-099] The hugee Camudi snake of the Fethlon Jungle has a unique way of killing its prey. Rather than using poison or constricting its … victims to death, the snake places its distended Jaw over its Prey’s head and then waits for them to suffocate.

[XXVIII. 33-100] Even before the coming of chaos. lkadz was known for his brutality against his brother Simrust. Pain and torture were so much part of Simrust’s life that he became immune to or perhaps even dependent on them. When the Unholy Trio unleashed chaos, Ikadz was quick to see an opportunity to spread his knowledge and joined with the chaos. Simrust on the other hand, after knowing nothing but Ikadz’s abuse. suddenly felt nothing. Fearing this new experience Simrust tried to follow his sibling. but lkadz was too busy torturing others to worry about his brother. So Simrust sought out ways that he could cause the pain to himself; as he learnt more ways in wh)ch to inflict pain upon himself he knew momentary joy, but the joy was short lived until the next time he would torture himself. And so in the pantheon of chaos Ikadz is known as the Torturer of Souls, while Simrust is known as the Torturer of Self.

[XXVIII. 33-101] A young boy, whose skin had blue and white stripes like that of a zebra, was recently reported wandering the streets of Garguna. When asked who his parents were he answered Veldan and Warera. When asked what his name was he answered Valera. When asked what he was doing there he answered that he was waiting to be the Warden. When asked the Warden of what he answered the Warden of the World.

[XXVIII. 33-102] The ignorant natives of distant Afadjann believe the sun to be Fida’is. a huge fiery bird that ” tumbles” across the sky in death throes and then is consumed by its own flame. In the morning. it rises from its ashes and begins its journey again. Quill the Wanderer.

Additional Note: Ormath-Am turned blue with rage to learn that his mighty Yelm was a stupid bird. Some rumours are worth spreading! Sovent the Shameless.

[XXVIII. 33-103] Within the lands of remote Afadjann, there is said to be a mystical, fertile valley called Gami·muk. Surrounding it are twenty mountains. so tall, snow frosts their tops all year round. but so thin a man could walk around one of their bases in but a day. They are the Yas-garni and are said to be the inert forms of primitive gods. The blue slaves of Afadjann claim they are their old gods now dead and useless. Quill the Wanderer.

[XXVIII. 33-104] In far Afadjann, the Knowledge God has said that at one time the people changed the names of their gods. With these new names. the gods gained new pasts and new identities. Now they have twice as many gods. This was called the God Switch. Quill the Wanderer.
