Jack o Lanterns
Jack o Lanterns are an ancient human tradition, one of the few cultural aspects shared amongst Vuzodep, Ferellan Giants, and humans alike. These lanterns are carved from hollowed-out gourds or root vegetables to resemble humanoid faces. Ferellan giants will often hire humans and smaller races to carve the lanterns for them since it is difficult to find large enough gourds and roots for them to…

Ferellan Giants
Giants exist in many legends across the world, from ancient Eurth legends of one called “Goliath” to stories about legendary frost and storm giants in the wilds of Ferella. As of today, we have no definitive proof of the existence of any nonstandard giants such as these, but the legends are so prevalent that it is wholly reasonable to assume that they exist. The various subtypes could be…

The Giant's Hand
The Giant’s Hand is a rock formation consisting of a large island-like structure in the middle of a former lake, as well as several floating rocks above small ponds in its interior. It is some distance from civilization, and is the only documented area with floating rock formations. Local legends say a great giant or god fell here. He wrenched his hand free, pulling the earth up and forming…

Floating Rocks
As in many fantastical stories, Ferella is home to floating rocks. While these may seem to be magical defiances of reality, it is entirely possible that these rare formations are natural. Only one formation, on the Giant’s Hand island, has been documented. While the mythos of its creation may suggest otherwise, it is unlikely that magic formed this phenomenon. Instead, many of our scientists…

Vuzodep
The Vuzodept are desert-roaming persons whose origins begin in a kingdom called Vuzode. The kingdom was believed to be inhabited by monstrous beings. Little is known about Vuzode except that they waged endless war on the kingdom of Luft, and eventually a group of Vuzodept joined the people of Luft to end the war. Vuzodept do not resemble the monstrous beings cited in ancient texts, however;…

Heikei Mushrooms
Image by Andreas from Pixabay These mushrooms are known as Heikei mushrooms, and are found in the Pevyse forest. This forest seems to grow all plants to enormous sizes, with the great trees of the Pevyse settlement being the most well-known. These mushrooms are of similar stature, and grown in a unique formation, one atop the other. Gnomes of the Heikei forest live in these great formations,…

Dolphins of Ferella
Dolphins are known to be quite intelligent, with IQs between that of a typical bandearg and that of a human. We have conducted extensive testing and found that while they are capable of speech, it is difficult to capture nuances. While speaking in the present tense and even future tense have been possible, they seem to struggle with the past tense, confusing it with the theoretical. Image by…

Early Flight?
Photo by MEUM MARE This is one of the earliest images in our archive. It seems to be depicting a mountain range from above, as if from a bird’s view. This may be a fanciful image by the artist, though images from our own experimental flights show that it is remarkably accurate in terms of viewpoint and angle. It also seems to be framed by a shiny, artificial portal of some sort. This suggests…

Domestic Cats
Domestic cats are a curiosity, as there is no evidence that their descendants ever lived in the wild. Some theorize that they were a construct of magic while others believe that they were a scientific experiment like the Pas Todoans. It is interesting to note that older entries refer to them as “domestic cats,” implying that a wild cat did in fact exist. This could simply mean that feral cats…

Something Once Was
Dear Diary, Have you ever desired something so much that you conjured that thing into being? I think I may have done so…I know that Eurth is uninhabitable, but…sometimes I think I see something down there. On the surface. When I look through my telescope, I see skyscrapers, factories, acid-eaten buildings and rotted stumps. But every once in a while, there is a flash of movement. It could be…

I Wonder About the Stars
Dear Diary, When I was a child, I used to look up at the stars and wonder. Were all those beautiful things they said about them true? Had they really discovered new, habitable planets? Barring that, could we live in spaceships with artificial gravity and never need to touch ground again? I was thrilled when they discovered the first of the gold deposits, though I admit at the time I thought of…

Dome Spell
It is believed that some spellcasters have the ability to capture any person, place, or even time period in a bubble-like dome of magic. This preserves anything until the spellcaster releases it; however, some believe that the bubble degrades over time and the contents fade or even become corrupted. Reports indicate that domes have become damaged and spewed their contents out, while some witness…

On the Medicine Bow Museum
Daily writing promptWhat do you love about where you live?View all responses There are many things to love about this tiny little Western town. When you roll up on the town, cruise control set at 70, the first sign of civilization is the 30 miles per hour speed limit sign. As you rapidly decelerate ad wake from the stupor of the long, empty drive, JB’s comes up on the right. You make quick note…

Box Photograph
This picture was found in an old archive, improperly labeled. It was originally part of a collection before most of the pictures were mysteriously redacted. This image survived only because an intern misplaced it. It appears to depict several boxy shapes that almost seem like buildings, but there are no entrances big enough for a person to enter. The flags atop some shapes would suggest that the…

Musings on the Pevyse People
The Pevyse people are secretive and dangerous, making it difficult to learn much about their culture. We have determined that they are capable hunters, as all bandeargen are, and that they hunt with the traditional knife and stealthy maneuvers. Their prey rarely survives. There are predators that can scare off a bandearg, but the Pevysi bandeargen are far smarter than average. They can disappear…

School for Moontouched
The school for moontouched is the only one of its kind I have found. Research indicates that the students are only the most powerful of magic users, wielding a power called komorebi. The history teacher at the time this file was compiled claimed that komorebi was the “magic of the ancients.” The meaning of this phrase is unknown. Image by Paul from Pixabay Komorebi appears to be a dangerous…

Ice Cream Tree
There are rumors of a tree in the far north, near the town of Towerkuns, that grows ice in the consistency of ice cream. A local druid has grafted several saplings onto it, using powerful magic to allow tropical fruits to grow in subarctic temperatures. The tree now grows ice cream in the flavors of each fruit, including orange, chocolate, and mulberry. Yes, chocolate grows on trees in Ferella!…
