Wax Masons

The Wax Masons, whose full name was The Grand High Order of the Wax Masons, had been a secret society - now defunct - in Farrog. A branch of the 'Wax Masons' was the 'Lavender Hive of the Full Moon', whose members were known as 'Honeymooners'. An identifying mark of the 'Honeymooners' was apparently a forearm tattoo of a honeybee - stinger extended - beside a solid circle representing the full Moon. The defining ritual of the 'Lavender Hive' took place once a month on the night of the full Moon - at the third bell before midnight. At that time the 'Honeymooners', having each eaten a basket of lavender flowers, bared their bottoms to the Moon and passed aromatic gas as many times as possible. The individual 'Honeymooner' who could break wind the most number of times in a row became 'Chief Rumpah' of the 'Lavender Hive' - a prestigious honor amongst the 'Wax Masons'.The Fiends of Nightmaria, Section 22

Barunko, a thief of Farrog and a 'Party of Five' member - had also been a 'Honeymooner' of the 'Lavender Hive' of the 'Wax Masons'. Barunko had, during one period, 'owned' the title of 'Chief Rumpah' because of his gift of a high degree of flatulence which allowed him to break wind copiously at the monthly full Moon rituals of the 'Lavender Hive'. A fellow 'Honeymooner', Borbos - wanting badly to become 'Chief Rumpah' - was unable to achieve sufficient flatulence with just lavender flowers in order to take the prestigious title away from Barunko. Because of this, Borbos started cheating by secretly eating lima beans and cabbage. Barunko, on finding out about this dishonorable behavior, felt that he had to slay Borbos - not only because of his dishonesty in this important matter, but also because honeybees were being killed by Borbos', now potent, flatulence. The ultimate downfall of the 'Wax Masons', along with the 'Lavender Hive', was - according to Barunko - due to a combination of "overblown egos and the excessive use of drugs and hard liquor".The Fiends of Nightmaria, Section 22
