Where avalanches hide,
Where the mountain peaks
Hidden under a layer of ice,
Where it's always cold,
Where under the white under the cover
Life is beautiful and harsh,
There are no fairy-tale wonders,
There are no princes and princesses.
There with twisted horns
And shaggy legs
From above they look from the cliff
Only mountain goats.
And also on the mountain slopes,
Where above the bottomless abyss
Snow never melts,
A Snowman walks.
The Man is huge in height,
He lives in an icy house,
Covered with long hair,
His appearance is very scary.
The man is called Yeti,
And no one else in the world yet
Haven't talked to him yet:
The Yeti is very unsociable.
Everyone who met him,
I was scared of him every time,
And immediately ran away
Along the path between the rocks.
However, even very snowy
A man with a gentle soul
Can possess quite -
It seemed to me somehow.
That's why I 'll be in the mountains
I look for him everywhere,
I'm ready to ask him,
Why is he so harsh?
Quiet Yeti will answer me,
That he is the only one in the white light,
And so he
It's very sad to be alone.
And he will add that in vain
He seems terrible to us,
He would be completely different
if someone loved him.
And having now learned about the Yeti,
Adults will understand and children:
To change the Yeti,
It is necessary to love the Yeti.
If you love Bigfoot
If you are friends with him, you will,
Will become a Yeti from these days
And more beautiful, and kinder.

There are rumors that there's a new threat coming from the North. Maybe they want to freeze this World? It would be pretty good, as it is too damn hot here. But perhaps it is all drunk stories of the intelligence officer, as we recently got access to significant VODK sources.

Same place but time has passed and the faction has well developped. Congratulations and good luck little folk (48)!

With hundreds dead in battle of Stockham, the leaders of vikings decided that it is time to focus the raider armies to the western side. Seems that east will solve themselves, but the Order need to advance further west. We need to find more trees.

Hmmm. My scouts tell me of a force gathering to our west. I wonder their intent? We shall see soon enough.

Too Late

Our Eldest's Column
-------------------
The little folk army proceeded from their triumph (well, non-defeat, anyway) in the village to the town. Too late. When we arrived in town, we found a town already been conquered, not by those we had expected to join us in our assault, but by the same Thane silver clad orcs who conquer every settlement the little folk inhabit. Of those we had hoped to join us, there was no sign at all, but we fear the worst.
Where to take the little folk army from here is unclear. We cannot compete with the Thane silver clad army that conquered the town. We could beat our swords into plowshares and spread out into the countryside. Or we could try to lead our army in some direction the Thane silver clad men orcs not headed.
And what direction would that be? "Up" and "Down" being the only directions the Thane silver clad men are not headed, perhaps dispersing the little folk over the countryside is best. We could head our army, such as it is, for the towns at the edge of the world, but it is far from clear that we would get there before the Thane silver clad orcs.
It is still possible that these Thane silver clad orcs are some of the Thane's Ring Spirits, maintaining the ring of safety around the little folk. I like to imagine that is true. They did help us take the village, after all. So perhaps we should simply be establishing a safe, rural economy inside the ring of their armies? Maybe even building those statues in their honor our priests and priestesses are calling for?
Assistant Editor's Column
-------------------------
The previous assistant editor has been replaced. My first action as the new assistant editor shall be to hire more proofreaders; we shall publish no more articles with the headline "title goes here".
Proofreading is hard work. I sure hope Our Eldest is proofreading the orders he writes to our armies as much as I'm proofreading this article.
Religion Column
---------------
(Written by the High Priestess herself this month.)
We had better get started preparing those statues of our saviors in Stockdare, and perhaps training cooks for the festival next August celebrating their protection of us this August when we tried to take a village.
Our Eldest's planned conquest of a nearby town was a disaster. The priests and priestesses of the little folk would like to remind civilians (and discharged veterans) that the little folk have seldom lived in towns, and have seldom controlled the towns we lived in. We had our temples in the dunes and our temples in the villages to maintain our culture, and we farmed and mined and built and migrated without controlling those villages. We can still do that. We must not become too populous for the land to support, and some of us must farm, not fight.
Peace Column
------------
Peacemaker? There is a peacemaker? Where? Who? This we have been waiting for.
LFLF Column
-----------
If last month's fiasco was not enough, this month our Eldest led our army to conquer lands that were already conquered, with the supposed assistance of factions that never showed up. The little folk need new leadership. Our Eldest now surrounds himself with an army. Maybe he thinks this army will make him safer from the little folk liberation front? If so, he is mistaken; he should be studying, and each month he spends playing with his army instead of studying is a month that he will lose respect of more little folk.
Other factions are scarier than monsters. We must establish ourselves elsewhere. Our Eldest stays inside the safe ring created by Good Mr. Hagen's armies. But inside that ring, if in fact that ring exists, seems an unsafe place to be. There are gods, or at least agents of a more powerful civilization, riding about, killing most things in their way. So far they haven't been killing us (much), but that could change at any time.
We should flee. But what direction do we flee from gods (or more advanced civilizations) who move faster than we do in all directions? Perhaps they will slow down to digest the settlements they have taken. If so, we could race away.
But in the past, they have not slowed to digest settlements. Perhaps Our Eldest is correct that the Thane silver clad ones will move on in time, and if we just wait here and eat roots for a few months, we can start using the land again as they move on. Which is better, flight to lands that are safer now, or hiding in lands that might become safer in the future? What is the point of fleeing from enemies that aren't killing you yet, and move as fast or faster than you can anyway?
So far, we are still alive. So join us for tea and biscuits at the little folk liberation front meeting this month.
Obituary Column
---------------
Optimistic Uist, Ethne Daddodd Dattrr, and Mousy Maithgem all died in the great Antanoatos desert. Exactly how is unclear. Evil magicians, evil sorcerers, and evil warriors were in the area, but scorpions were as well. It is unclear whether any of these has anything to do with their deaths or not.

"...... yeah....."

The Council of the Four Winds was satisfied - at last a city had fallen, so they could be assured of a decent tax base for the future, and a stronghold to retreat to. It was now time to try rebuilding the broken roads through the desert to encourage trade with nearby settlements.

So, after blody battle, where hundreds have fallen, Ogre Mages must regroup. Damn Horned, not only horned but shining. We don't like shining.

Ogre Mages (62)
Thelor Forkbeard swore under his breath at the weight of the dressed cube of granite that was slung from the transport to him
"Do they really think that this little wall will hold off the apes?" he asked.
Bris Ironhammer swung a braid over her shoulder before hefting the next lump of stone to her shoulder. "Well, we know that *not* having a wall *doesn't* hold off the apes, so we might as well at least give it a try."

Despite the setback, Peter is determined that the undead shall not prevail. There are plenty of orphans, street urchins and ragamuffins, and he orders preparations to be made for another assault. The neighbors seem to be having a similar problem with the rampant forces of the dead and Peter sends messages out to see if some coordination might be possible to eradicate death's minions.

Rumors
Thanes is going to die. Hopefully not by the old age.
Only one rumor about Holden last month?
Aval is a circle that Holden punched hard...
The army of Holden's Holy Deed Church is gathering in the Cathedral area. They are determined, but they look pathetic.
-----
The murderers from the Order of the Holden Witness sect left a message on the pillow in the Patriarch's bedroom. The message was not found immediately, so the Patriarch's chambers still smell of feces
-----
The Lord of the Northern Lands has received information about the upcoming holy campaign of the Church of the Holy Deed of Holden in his lands. The Lord instructed to add regular tickling to the training course for the guards, so that the guards would not die of laughter when they saw the troops of Holden's Holy Deed Church
We are alive and that's what matters.
The Northern Lands are free of lords only because the greedy southern lords are castrated and beheaded there in a timely manner. And there's still plenty of room for new graves. Welcome!
