THE CARROT GOD LIVES THROUGH THE NORN LINEAGE
By Nefer Akhen
There is doubt across the land about the existence of the carrot god. Some remained faithful, rendering homage through vast carrot fields. Others mocked and claimed the power of other gods. But Odovir Norn and others have remained steady in their belief of the carrot god.
THE NORN IDENTITY
The Norn lineage is one of the first, and the truest carrot god believer. The forefather, Odovir, had made his devotion to the Carrot god publicly shortly before he met his death. It was some time before his heir, and namesake, followed in the carrot path.
Much to Odovir’s surprise he found his father’s old road demolished by some “ugly walls”. After some snooping, he found that a base was constructed. This base was home to the Shadowbane tribe. Shadowbane had recently relocated from a land called Redditia.
Odovir and others remained quiet after the new arrivals. After all, new residents in our fair land could be a great addition and provide a boost to our economy. Then tragedy struck.
Slowly but surely, several crimes were linked to the Shadowbane tribe. Some Mysterans broadcasted their distaste of new Redditians in our land. Others knew that the blame was to be placed, in part, on the Shadowbane leadership. Members of the tribe were called marauders, thieves, and murderers, among other censored names.
Odovir became tired of the situation and publicly called out one of the tribe members, named Idkwha.
There was a heated exchange between Shadowbane members and Odovir. They knew he was a carrot god devotee and that his main expression of devotion were his carrot fields.
Recreation of what Odovir’s farm looked like before the attack“I planted carrots peacefully, doing this in the name of The Carrot God, but then I got surrounded by those marauders trying to kill me.”
Odovir managed to hide in his farmhouse shortly before the Shadowbane tribe members dealt a low blow to any carrot follower. They took all the carrots from his field
Stalki Stalki arrived to help Odovir out by inviting him to stay over at his house and join his tribe, KolomkiJJJ.
However, that did not dissuade Shadowbane. Odovir was attacked once more, but Stalki came to his defense.
THE NORN ULTIMATUM
With Stalki’s retaliation came the official declaration of war. In the declaration, the Shadowbane tribe stated that peace could be reached for the price of 300 gold.
Pyco Pyco and others were not amused.
Jessie, an ex-member of Shadowbane, divulged that after they had joined said tribe, the leadership started to change their focus. The raids and wars began with different Mysterans. Despite Jessie’s protests, the war led to its inevitable resolution.
After several battles instigated by both sides, Odovir the second fell to the hands of Light and Tee Pot.
Shortly after, the larger tribe KolomkiJJJ took over Shadowbane’s base. Those guilty of war crimes were executed and the tribe was later disbanded by Pyco.
Some expressed a distaste about the way the situation was handled. The most vocal of them was Robin Hood. Robin was concerned about how new residents in our land were being bullied by older and more powerful families.
The majority, however, seem to be on the side of KolomkiJJJ. Left Buttouch was quick to say you “shouldn’t pick fights you aren’t prepared to lose”.
THE NORN SUPREMACY
The new heir of the Norn lineage, Odovir, returned to this land more determined than ever to continue his family’s service to the carrot god.
More importantly, he came to our land to avenge his father. He contacted Tee Pot to let him know that despite making the peace with Pyco, the carrot god was not pleased. They reached the agreement that his death would suffice. Tee Pot was assassinated and now there is peace between the houses of Norn and Pot.
Some trouble was brewing between members of KolomkiJJJ and those of a new tribe called DWO. People feared that they were a remake of Shadowbane. The rumors were dispelled, although there is still some wariness about the newcomers.
Odovir became the top Mysteran for some time under the blessings of the carrot god. “All I’ve done was in the name of His Carrotness”. And His Carrotness was good to Odovir.
THE NORN LEGACY
It was today when the latest Odovir heir met his death in underworld level 14. Odovir had reached level 122 of experience, and was an experienced farmer in the service of the carrot god.
Rumor has it that over nine thousand cooked carrots were scattered on the floor somewhere on level 14.
The House of Norn continues their quest in our land, and hope to start a Carrot Festival in the name of those who have fallen protecting their carrot harvest.
THE NORN DECEPTION
Despite the many claims of carrot blessings, there are still doubts among the population. There is concern about it being a ploy to gain knowledge in ways that were not originally intended. Others are concerned about the lack of attention to the potato god.
However, most of the population seems to not care.
Will the carrot god visit upon them with devastation? Will he remain hidden?
Or is he an evil rabbit mastermind?!
In an upcoming edition: follow up on the participants in the community market; learn what the new locals are doing with our fair land; and enjoy a stay at Friendly NPC’s Penguin Hotel!
