Sand Dunes

The **Sand Dunes** are an expanse of sand hills as far as the eye can see. It is the hottest place on Graphitus and where No. 2s first settled. Additionally, it borders the Corrupted Forest to the southeast.

### History

The **Sand Dunes** were once orange, but ash from the Climate War turned it an ugly brown. Pieces of graphite, broken pencils, and undecipherable carvings on stone tablets are scattered deep in the ground. These artifacts have revealed a lot about the early history of the No. 2s.
Pentel

Established in 807 and based in Stencil, **Pentel** is the leading manufacturer of mechanical pencils, known for their shells' durability and comfort. They also became the richest company in Penciland in 1591.

### Generations

There are seven Pentel generations. The latest, released in 1886, can boost pencils' lifespans by over 120 years.

### Mentions

"*And last year, the revolutionary and innovative minds at Pentel have revealed yet another upgrade to their renowned mechanical shells. Generation three is cheaper, stronger, shinier, and most importantly, double as effective as the previous generation! It even comes with breathing ducts and a waterproof gloss.*" - Ticonderoga News article published April 26, 908
Seabur

**Seabur** is a major Marconesscan port on the eastern coast of Fort Starea.

### History

Around 1020, King Seabur ordered his servants to construct him a grand palace, while they lived in cramped shacks. The settlement attracted settlers and explorers, who settled there, gradually forming a thriving city. Graphite, oil, and rare gemstones was exported to other harbors, including Buggy Entrepôt and Morre Point.
Srethfis

Location of Srethfis in Glueland

**Srethfis** is the English transliteration of **Srêþfis**, an old town in northern Glueland and the landing site of the Profile Rocket. It was also a station on the Talfyrn Line.

### Mentions

* Srethfis first appeared in the Giergan census in 520.
* The Pinus Montrivicus, published around 630, mentions Srethfis as the hometown of a wandering merchant named Otis.
Stickish

**Stickish** is the primary language of Glueland. It utilizes standard Epsilonian phonemes, along with phonemically and semantically significant diacritics and modifications.

### Example/Breakdown

* Omo Montos is the anglicized version of Omö Môƞntos.
	+ Ö is O but further back in the mouth.
	+ Ô sounds like saying 'ugh' in the back of the mouth and deeper.
	+ ƞ indicates the nasalization of the preceding vowel, in this case Ô.
	+ So Omö Môƞtos is really pronounced 'OmO Mungntos.'
Vesuvian Bolt

A **Vesuvian Bolt** is a massive projectile, typically launched from a crossbow or ballista, and capable of penetrating most fortifications and armor types. Many scholars have drawn parallels between these bolts and the ice spears fired by Graphitan Snow Cannons.

### Construction

The first Vesuvian Bolts were crafted from cedar wood, but often cracked under the immense force of the ballista's launch. Subsequent versions were made from steel, which proved more durable and deadly. Some modern ballistae instead fire smaller and more lightweight bolts that can fired more often with higher range to strike distant targets.

### History

Vesuvian Bolts were first utilized by the Vesuvians during the First Vesuvian War, during which they were used to impale several enemy soldiers in one blow. The Vesuvian Bolt quickly became the signature weapon of the Vesuvians and was widely adopted throughout their military forces. During the Second Vesuvian War, the Vesuvians employed these bolts with lethal efficiency, piercing the walls of Giergan strongholds and causing heavy casualties. To this day, the Vesuvian Bolt remains a staple in the Vesuvian military arsenal, feared by their enemies and revered by their army.
Regen

**Regen** is the Epsilonian god of healing, said to have been born with 7 lives.

### Legend

In 2096, the god Regen came down to the mortal realm for the second time to trade with pencils in Bicland. Took his helmet of regeneration with a star on top of it that gave him his healing powers. The star used to be a regular star but when Regen was born around the year 500 he absorbed it and the star became trapped in his helmet, which he always wore. Regen was bargaining when a mechanical pencil tapped on his head. When Regen turned around, he was face to face with the mighty and tyrannical Itron, ruler of Bicland. Itron told Regen that he had a suprise form him and lured him to his battle arena before closing the gates when Regen stepped inside. Then Itron said that "we don't believe in gods. you don't belong here." Itron became jealous and took out his mighty sword. They got into a fierce clash. Itron's mechanical shell was so powerful that he eliminated 3 of Regen's lives, with the assistance of his two bodyguards. Itron went for his legendary sweep - an ultradifficult art first practiced by the soldiers of the Napolean War. Itron used the legendary form that yeeted Regen so far that it cracked his helmet and the star was released from his spirit back into space. Regen ran a marathon all the way to Ticonderoga, where he established a revolutionary group with the aid of his new friend president Benjamin. Then Regen retreated to the heavens to recuperate himself. And thus began the Regen War, which escalated into the Fifth Pencil War.
Potlood I

**Potlood I** (356 - 457) was the seventh Weibo king, ruling from 382 to 401.

### About

He was a wise and strategic ruler, regaining all of the land his father, Bliep I, lost. His 2 children, Troa I and Gqus I, each received half of the kingdom, Western and Eastern Weiboa respectively.

### Naming

Since his real name is unknown, he is called ‘Potlood,’ meaning pencil in Dutch.
Pencilcosmos

**The Pencilcosmos** is a near-infinitely vast region situated beyond the Pencilverse. On Epsilon, it was discovered very recently, on Kett 7 of the 3rd Ajack, 1996 PY, using the revolutionary Ultrazoom Telescope at Weiboa Observatory. As such, the Epsilonians are currently unaware of the astonishing array of diversity that lies concealed within. Furthermore, Micon Park's claim regarding the existence of multiverses has been substantiated. However, there is a prevailing sense of terror among the population, as many recall his other prediction - an "Interdimensional War" - and fear that this may also come to fruition.

Wraspinae

**Wraspinae**, commonly known as **Roughweed**, is a genus of spiked plants in the family Saccridae used in medicine and narcotics.

## Species

### Wraspinae Decussata

Wraspinae Decussata, or the Common Roughweed, is the most common species, found in bush patches in the meadows and along the beaches of Noman Archipelago. It has bright green spikes with white margins, and the plant can grow up to 2 feet in height.

### Wraspinae Serratis

Wraspinae Serratis, or Thornweed, is a perennial plant that can grow up to 2 meters tall. Its leaves are long and narrow, with serrated edges and are a medium green color. Its stems and flowers in small, sharp spines that can cause skin irritation. However, it is used in some medicines to treat headaches, fever, and muscle pain.

### Wraspinae Angustifolia

Wraspinae Angustifolia, or Purple Roughweed, is a species found in the forests of Punut and Kovac Island. In spring, it may sprout lavender-colored flowers. It has been used by the islands' native inhabitants as a medicinal herb to boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, and cure some diseases.
Spheralia

**Spheralia** is a continent said to be located in the ocean east of Graphitus. It was first proposed by historian Heraserdotus in 1989, who claimed he witnessed an invasion from the "Ballpencils from the East" while traveling back to the year 1456. Since no such landmass has yet been discovered, Herasredotus states that this proves the existence of an Eastern continent, which he calls Spheralia (Sphere + -alia). Additionally, there is some limited evidence of another Epsilonian continent. For instance, in 1912, the entire 120-man crew of the exploratory ship the Jomu Novae insisted that they had spotted a rocky shore on the horizon, while sailing east, but were forced to return home due to intense storm.
Red Bank

The **Red Bank** is a repository and museum of valuable and historical artifacts located in Stencil.

### History

The museum was built during the late Golden Era for an unknown purpose, since there was no demand for the storage of antiques. However, in front of the main entrance lies a fountain and a bronze plaque. It reads 'An unnamed noblewoman sought to immortalize her family's legacy. With vast riches at her disposal, she commissioned the construction of this very structure, which would not only house her extensive collection but also become a center of cultural enlightenment.' Many believe this story was fabricated as it is odd that the woman was never identified.

During the Stencil Robberies of 1337, Red Bank was robbed several times. One stolen item was the Arminta Gem, the most valuable gemstone ever found, but it was never recovered.

### Artifacts

Penwave

**Penwave** is a Graphitan music genre pioneered by Ticonderogan composer and DJ David Daveed in the mid to late 1900s. It is a vivid techno fusion of Synth-pop and Progressive house music.

### Evolution of Penwave

An excerpt from the Penwave song 'Trance-synth' by David Daveed, released in 1936, during the early growth of the genre.

The Nomanic Government

**The Nomanic Government** is the government of the now-united Republic of Great Nomanica. It serves to keep everything and everyone among the vast Noman Archipelago safe, while also giving them the freedom to live happy lives. It is notable for several reasons.

## Government Buildings/Infrastructure

Unlike other nations, the government of Nomanica does not have or allow more than 2 governmental bodies. these being the Legislative and Judicial branches.

The reason for this is to allow more pencils to have jobs outside of the government, in which extensive work is being done. It is suspected that by the year 3064, a third, yet-unnamed government body will be open to the pencils of Nomanica for jobs.

The Nomanic Government is unique in that it is the only government to have more than one unique thing (aside from name and building structure) about it, with three different oddities. These are:

* Lack of widespread currency. The reason for this is unknown but is suspected to be a measure to ensure the trust of other pencils in their community.
* Only having 2 significant governmental bodies to allow more pencils to have jobs outside of the government.
* The tribal-ness (for lack of better terminology) of the government. The entire government is run inside of a lantern-lit stone hut, with spears, bows, and a basement that is far more modern than the room above it. Pencils are allowed to band together to create tribes, so long as they do not break any laws.

## Main 5 Unique Laws

While there are countless laws solely unique to Nomanica, there are 5 prominent laws in place that are unique to the country:

* Carry of modern weaponry such as guns and bombs is strictly forbidden, unless to be used for hunting.
* Hunting wild animals while under the influence is forbidden, as you could be a threat to others wellbeing in such a state.
* You must be at least 10 years old to use a computer, for safety reasons.
* Pencils over the age of 16 are forbidden from entering children's playplaces without prior permission.
* You must work for the Nomanic Government to purposefully come within 2 miles of the State Bungalow, unless needed direly and without other option.

When she was 31, in 1315, **Rosetta** vanished mysteriously. She had run away to Basaltas with her husband Henry Pencilton. During her "vacation," **Rosetta** received face surgery in an effort to change her appearance and hide from society. However, in 1328, a fan recognized her on the Leafy Orchard Trail and she was found by a Basaltas News reporter in her apartment the next day.

Rosetta and Henry's children were Elisha, Markus, and Nerffa Pencilton.

PencilsLocationsNationsConflictsDisastersFeatured Article: Troy McWilliams

Click here for a list of previous featured articles.

**Troy McWilliams** was a Madisan Navy captain and former convict.

### Life

In July of 2184, Dragustus, Madisi was struck by a blazing heatwave. It was in this month that Troy McWilliams was born, to a family of farmers in the Madisan countryside, which was peaceful in relation to the violent urban battlefield that was Madisitown. Growing up, Troy envied his brother, Kilroy, who he felt received all the attention in the family. On March 23rd, 2202, the mounting jealousy finally got to Troy, and he murdered Kilroy in cold blood at Jumanaka.

Troy admitted to the crime on the spot. For his honesty, in an unheard-of act of mercy, the judge sentenced Troy to a mere five years of imprisonment rather than the standard life sentence. Thus, Troy was released from Lanigar Penitentiary on June 1st, 2207. Since the Madisi government actually encourages past inmates to join the war effort, Troy decided to enlist in the Navy. Before long, he became captain of the ship *MES* *Sentinel*.

### Death

On December 23rd, 2208, Troy suffered severe spinal trauma while returning home from a naval clash. Troy was rushed to the ER, where doctors frantically taped him back together. It was revealed that Troy was now crippled and had terminal Pencilitis as a result of his injuries. Despite the doctors' best efforts to save him, Troy passed away on the night before Christmas Day.

### A Mastermind?

2 weeks following Troy's death, inspectors uncovered sketches of time machines at Troy's Madisitown apartment. However, in a subsequent resurvey of the room, the papers were nowhere to be seen. This has led many to believe that Troy was the Troy Prodigy referred to as "Troy the Mastermind".

Staedtler Bombing

The **Staedtler Bombing** was a repeated dropping of atomic bombs on Staedtler City and the surrounding area performed by the Ticonderoga Empire at the beginning of the Johnson War in 726. It killed an estimated 30,000 Staedtler civilians and affected the nearby area, killing an additional 18,000, which included Toikanas, Palominos, and Bicells.
Lily Graph

**Lily Graph** was a Weibo born in Madisumon in 1869.

### Biograph

In 1890, she gave birth to a boy named Lincoln, but he unfortunately passed away just weeks after due to terminal Pencilitis. Lily, was heartbroken, but noticed that a Necsam flower had sprouted from his grave. She decided to flee to Weibo City and took the flower with her. There, she was hired as a plumber but through charisma, managed to climb the ranks all the way up to CEO in a matter of 8 months. Lily was highly respected, organizing fundraisers to build statues at Weibo Plaza, and even helping to pass the Weibo Littering Act of 1891.

However, in August of 1891, Lily's flower, which she kept in her office and was famous for, withered, since she forgot to bring it with her on a business trip to Stencil. From then on, she was rejected by the community and banished from Marconessco Island. A few weeks later, Lily was called homophobic for merely mentioning her feelings on the topic in an interview that went viral on VidCam. She hadn't even remembered the flower when she ran away in secret back to Madisumon. At least she had her family to comfort her.

But on a fateful morning in the cold winter of 1891, Lily was found cut cleanly in half, lying lifeless on a pile of leaves she called her bed by the sea. The shack she slept in was also demolished, with Scissor prints on the ground nearby. The cause of her death remains unknown to this day (and is especially bone-chilling considering that scissors are not native to Marconessco Island and back then had not yet invented boats capable of transcontinental travel). Her family met the same cruel fate. The town's citizens were terrified and astonished, while her CEO-ship caused many controversies and ultimately led to the RGBTQ+ movement that is still occurring to this day.

Timber Era

The **Timber Era** was a period of peace on Graphitus lasting from 522 to 726.

### Notable Events

* The now dead trees of the Corrupted Forest provided an abundance of wood, which was transported to Stencil and distributed across Graphitus, hence the name **Timber Era**.
* With it, the No. 2s assembled totem poles, Staedtler built docks for fishing and boating, and Ticonderoga fortified their city and constructed New Ticonderoga.
* A series of serial killings in Staedtler, the testing of the first nuclear weapons, and rising tension between the three superpowers in the final few decades of the **Timber Era** signaled what was to come.
Noman Archipelago

**Noman Archipelago** is a large atoll named after Noman I located off the eastern coast of Marconessco Island, near Bloomgar Reef. The islands were recently colonized and became the domain of the micronation of Nomanica.

### History

Before the rising sea levels that followed the last ice age, the archipelago was a single, long landform. During Noman I’s rule, it was claimed by the Weibos. In 388, it declared independence with its first ruler being Albert Nomanian, one of Noman’s own sons.

### Culture

The archipelago’s population of 26,000 is scattered across several communities, collectively known as the Nomanians. They typically eat fish, shellfish, and dried kelp, speak Delvina, follow the religion of Egona, and live in palmwood stilt houses above the sand or water.

Its islands from west to east are Kitakokan, Shisharadu, Gunacala, Melogari, the largest, Lakthan, Otzerke, and Pomiris, whose names all consist of two Delvina words.
Penciland

**Penciland** is a group of landmasses found in the northern hemisphere of the planet Epsilon. It comprises three continents: Graphitus, Marconessco Island, and Crayola Island. As its name suggests, it is inhabited by pencils of all species and colors.

### History

18 million years ago, the supercontinent Basaltia split into Graphinessco and Crayola Island. Meteors poured from the sky, creating a spectacular fireworks display. They brought water to Epsilon, transforming it from a volcanic ball of rock into a flourishing ecosystem perfect for harboring life. Soon, the first animals began to roam the land. Mostly herbivores, they peacefully enjoyed the fruitful bounty of trees and shrubs. But then, around 2 million years ago, the planet gradually cooled, carpeting the ground with meters of snow and ice; the last Ice Age. However, creatures were quick to adapt. Archaeological evidence suggests fire was used to produce heat and light as early as 1.8 million BY. Additionally, animals developed armor or fur on their bodies to shelter them from the subzero climate. On Graphitus, this eventually led to the evolution of the Graphonculus, a primitive species of pencil yet a milestone in their history. For the remainder of the ice age, the Graphonculi dominated all other species with their unmatched intelligence and stamina. They invented new tools for harvesting wood, excavating stone from mountains, and hunting animals for food. And for the final few millennia, there was bloodshed.

However, it was the termination of the ice age that truly jumpstarted civilization. For 2 million years, the secret of agriculture was locked away from pencilkind. But as the glaciers receded and blooming flowers returned, progress was inevitable. By 8,000 PY, less than 1,000 years after the Ice Age's end, pencils were already cultivating the fertile soils of Blue Fields, Weiboa, and The Oasis. Then, sometime between 7,000 and 5,000 PY, an earthquake of unprecedented magnitude tore Graphinessco in two, forming the modern-day continents of Graphitus and Marconessco Island. Subsequent earthquakes created Lanigar Cay, Featherfly Island, Kovac Island, Punut Island, and Noman Archipelago. And that brings us to where we are today; a Penciland that serves as the habitat for billions of plants and animals.

Noman II

A portrait of Noman II at 16 years.

**Noman II** was the fifth Weibo king, born in Weibo City in 331 and ruling from 356 until 368. Unlike his father, Noman I, he was known for his generosity and bravery. At 12, he lost half of his body, including his Eraser, when he tripped onto a sawblade while playing in one of the royal castle's workshops. Then, at 37, while still in office, he was shot by an unknown murderer and bled to death. His one child, Bliep I, became the next ruler.

### Assassination

On Friday, April 28, 368, around 1:30p.m. Noman II was fatally shot while delivering a speech at Weibo City Plaza. He was rushed to the hospital by paramedics, where he was pronounced dead half an hour later. His brother, Albert Nomanian, was also wounded but eventually recovered, and Noman’s son Bliep assumed the presidency upon his death.

The next day, Yoruca Illmont was arrested by the Weibo City Police Department, and charged with Noman's murder. However, he was later declared innocent because the only evidence against him was his proximity to the crime scene. Additionally, it may also have been a case of racism, since he was a tourist from the rival Morre Kingdom, the inhabitants of which the Weibos heavily discriminated against. Four days later, a sniper rifle, the suspected murder weapon, was found under a bush less than 40 meters from the scene. Two weeks later, Noman’s autopsy found two bullet wounds in his graphite matching those typically fired from the gun.

Though the murderer was never found, there are many theories as to what really happened. According to Noman's brother Albert, he heard multiple shots fire in rapid succession, which could not have been shot from the same gun due to the slowness of reloading at the time. This suggests that there were multiple shooters; some have speculated that they were working for the mafia.

### Mentions

* A letter by one of his assistants, written a few days before his death, "The pencils of the Weibo Empire live in order and peace under the divine rule of Noman II. He is fair in his judgment, highly intelligent, just, and the citizens love him. However, the king’s ministers resent him for his prodigious qualities, and seek to overthrow him."
* The Weibo Monarchy, "Noman II was a generous and brave king, helping everyone under his rule. Sadly, the corrupt officials working for him did not like him, and he was murdered at the age of 37."
Ticonderogization

*"You have become the very thing you swore to destroy."* - Mike Platoon, negotiating with the No. 2 government in 1209, and encouraging them to not declare war.

**Ticonderogization** is the process of becoming more like the Ticonderogan Empire, typically describing a pencil or nation's increase in cruelty, dishonesty, selfishness, corruption, hate, greed for power, and/or desire for world domination. The Outcasts refer to such an attitude as the "Ticonderogan Curse", deeming that converting to this wickedness is even worse than having always practiced it.

### History

The term was first used in the novel 1146 novel The Pencillia by Pablo Cheeseman, which reads "The war sprouted from the sudden Ticonderogization of the No. 2s; that is to say, their newly found Ticonderogan rapacity [meaning aggressive greed]."

Ticonderogization has been observed in most Epsilonian nations, though none have been as corrupt as the quintessential Lees. Other examples include the No. 2s, Giergans, and Weibos during the Nomanian Dynasty.

### Other "Ticonderogized" Behaviors

* Glorifying the creation of temples and idols.
	+ Many who do so tend to be devout supporters of Toikana, the religious leaders of which have been known to force conversion and actions through threat of persecution.
* Hatred of activism.
	+ The Ticonderogan government has long hated any form of discontent with their way of ruling. At first, officials despised Tyler Sandrews and Trojian Kandoor, but they soon began supporting them after realizing how much they could capitalize on their fame (greed, yet another Ticonderogized behavior). Seksi Dingle was also disliked by nobles and commoners alike.
* Not taking freedom or justice as an excuse for rude behavior, as well as opposing free speech.
	+ This stems from the reason the No. 2s gave when they left Ticonderoga; they wanted self-control over their own decisions and opinions (a right that is now integral to the HBMX religion).
* Expecting and forcing pencils to move on after a disaster or great loss.
	+ During the early 14th century, the government encouraged citizens to accept the damage done by TEST and "simply" choose to rebuild, but their lack of awareness and compassion for the millions who had lost their family and homes, and were therefore unable to, was clear.
* Destroying writings that oppose Ticonderogan ideals or religious beliefs.
* Bullying, especially performed by children at schools.
* Hatred towards or discrimination against minorities, such as the Outcasts, LGBTQ+ community, or the poor or disabled.
Obamium Missiliar

The **Obamium Missiliar** is a high power weapon developed by a strange figure known as OhSusman1259 for the purpose of defending planet Epsilon from an attack by aliens heeding from an unknown region outside the Pencilverse. Their power is immeasurable, exceeding that of any material found within all of the Pencelart unicluster.

## Blueprints

While an image/print of the blueprints for the **Obamium Missiliar** have yet to be published to the internet, they do exist. The missile is dark brown with the face of an unknown figure on it's sides with large fins. Standing near it allows you to feel a sort of exuding power surpassing any aura found on Epsilon.

The **Pencilindrome Nebula** is a nebula found in the bottom left arm of Crayolaax, notable for being the largest agalactic formation in the Pencilverse. It contains 23,492 stars, all classed as larger than Mahanna, aside from ADrIAN-7B, the smallest known star in the nebula.

## Size Info

The Pencilindrome Nebula is apx. 34,567,322LY in diameter. This is, strangely enough, larger than Crayolaax. The reason for this is unknown, as no galaxies aside from Crayolaax are known to actually exist.

## Star Info

All stars of the **Pencilindrome Nebula** are named.

All stars are documented to have 2 - 5 planets (each having a different number from it's closest neighbor)

All but 2 of the planets orbiting the stars are known to contain life, one containing apparently highly intelligent life. (NoMIN-3a & 351-Krelk e)
The Pencillia

**The Pencillia** is the highest selling book ever written, published in 1146 by Pablo Cheeseman and selling an estimated 2.16 million copies. It tells the story of Ohgi, a young Ticonderogan soldier who becomes separated from the army during the Great Pencil War.

### Plot

The Pencillia is not merely a book, but a transcendent experience that transports readers into the heart of the Great Pencil War. The enigmatic protagonist, Ohgi, embodies the spirit of an entire generation of brave soldiers, caught in the relentless grip of battle. His journey is a tapestry of raw emotions, drawing readers into a world where pencils become symbols of struggle and resilience.

From the opening pages, readers are introduced to Ohgi, a charismatic and determined Ticonderogan soldier. Ohgi's path intertwines with the fates of other notable characters, including the captivating Elysia, whose unwavering compassion challenges Ohgi's perspective on war. Sergeant Harland, a battle-scarred veteran, becomes Ohgi's mentor, leading him through vigorous training. But not even that could prepare him from what he would face. Ohgi’s challenges are as diverse as the graphite that flows within him. He faces the horrors of war head-on, confronting the lifelong trauma of grief and wrestling with his own conscience. As Ohgi battles to find his place in a war that seems to consume everything in its path, readers are invited to question the very nature of conflict and the consequences it exacts on those involved.

The Pencillia weaves historical facts with the author's imagination, breathing life into a war that history books could never capture. It peels back the layers of propaganda and unveils the human stories etched into the annals of war. Through Ohgi's eyes, readers witness the untold sacrifices, the indomitable spirit of the Graphitans, and the true price of victory. This remarkable work of historical fiction has resonated with millions of readers worldwide, leaving an indelible mark on the literary landscape. It challenges established narratives, allowing readers to embrace the complexities of war, the power of unity, and the profound impact of storytelling itself. The Pencillia stands as a testament to the enduring power of words and their ability to illuminate the past in ways previously unimaginable.

Scientist Jump

**Scientist Jump** was the first Epsilonian video game, designed by Mono Vatus Inc. in 1865 using InstruxPixel+. You play as a scientist who must navigate a 2D hilly landscape, defeating enemies and avoiding traps. Although a simple game, it was the first of its kind. It was released for the Graphing Phone, but legacy versions of the game can still be played on modern electronics.
Sharpening Station

A **Sharpening Station** is a public facility in which pencils can pay to sharpen themselves while walking or on the road. They offer a time-saving solution for individuals who require their pencils to be sharpened when not at home and in the absence of an available sharpener.

### History

In 1615, Serfuel, the earliest sharpening station, was founded in Dixon as a response to the growing demand for an on the go sharpening experience. In 1749, the Dragonblade chain was founded, followed by TurboBoost the next year.

### Services

Sharpening Stations offer a range of services to cater to different customer preferences. Firstly, they are equipped with state-of-the-art sharpening equipment, designed to accommodate different pencil diameters and lead types. In addition to standard sharpening, many popular stations offer specialized services including custom sharpening angles, eraser replacement, pencil cleaning, and cosmetic touch-ups, ensuring that customers are fully rejuvenated.

Stations are designed to be user-friendly and easily accessible. Customers can simply approach the station, insert themselves into the sharpening tube, and the process will automatically begin, sharpening the user within a matter of seconds.

Payment methods at sharpening stations vary, but they commonly accept cash, credit cards, or digital payment options for convenience. The cost of the sharpening service is determined by the amount shaved in millimeters plus any additional services used.
Vom War

The **Vom War** was a short-lived cold war between the pacifist government of Stencil, along with the Army of 600,000 (300K at the time), and the allied Up and Up and Madisi. It began in 2070, when Vom Slater, governor of Up and Up, declared war due to thirst for power, and ended upon Vom's death in 2072.

Turnip War

The **Turnip War** was a series of civilian shootings and minor No. 2 - Ticonderoga battles that occurred from 1310 to 1312. Despite its name, it is not considered an official war, though some believed it would escalate into the Fourth Pencil War. Instead, it caused minimal damage, and is named after the coinciding Turnip External Steam Tornado (TEST).
Stapler

**Staplers** are aggressive creatures found in the forests and deserts of Marconessco Island, Glueland, and The Mainland. They inject pointy and venomous staples, small thin U-shaped wires, into their prey, which includes pencils, puncturing vital organs and leading to a quick yet painful death.

### Domestication

The first staplers were domesticated around 20,000 years ago in Weiboa as hunting pets. By 10,000 BY, their use had spread to at least Star Plateau. However, it was not until after the division of Graphinessco that the Weibos began taming staplers to be their loving companions.

### Intelligence

Staplers display many behaviors associated with intelligence, including advanced memory skills, the ability to read and react appropriately to pencil body language, and the ability to understand voice commands, such as recognizing their name. Every staplers is unique, and its level of intelligence will vary depending on its breed, socialization, and training. However, many researchers believe that a stapler's intelligence is comparable to that of a 3-year-old pencil, making them one of the most intelligent animals.

### Breeds

* Swingline
* Marconesscan Bostitch
* Powercrown Bostitch
* Stanley
* Stapling Gun
* Arrow
* Staples
Oracle Bone

Like many ancient societies on Earth, early pencil tribes used **oracle bones** for pyromancy.

### About

Oracle bones were first used by the Weibos in the -400s. Diviners would submit questions about the future to deities and apply intense heat with a metal rod on the oracle bone until it cracked. The diviner interpreted the pattern of cracks to form a prophecy. In the Nuremberg Civilization, scribes wrote the questions and prophecies in Nurescript on the bones as a record.
The Oasis

"*My tribe, like many others, has depended on the abundance of The Oasis' crystal-clear waters for many years.*"

- Aú Ãkaraucē, a leader of the Moyels, 1329

**The Oasis** is an inland sea in central Crayola Island from which the Snake River originates.

### Description

**The Oasis** is a vast body of water covering over 200 square kilometers. It is fed by several rivers and streams that flow into the sea and the dense forests and rugged mountains surrounding it provide a stunning backdrop. It is home to a wide variety of marine life, including fish, dolphins, sea turtles, and manatees, making scuba diving and snorkeling popular activities. It is also known for its many beaches, which are lined with palm trees and filled with resorts.
Prodigy

**Prodigy** was a god-like Ticonderogan born to assassin Julian Sieu in 1216. Aptly named, Prodigy is often regarded as the smartest pencil to ever live, displaying superpencil intelligence from a young age. But as soon as he could speak, Prodigy claimed to have come from a distant dystopic future tainted by centuries of tyranny, oppression, and war. According to three reputable witnesses, Prodigy possessed a crude time machine made of tin foil. In 1229, Prodigy vanished, never to be seen again.

However, 2 days prior, Prodigy spoke of a "Troy the Mastermind", which many believe was Troy McWilliams due to his sketches of time machines found following his death.

Wooden

The **Wooden** tribe is a community of the same-named species, based in a rural village north of Dixon. The tribe was established in 520, Climate War, by a few Ticonderogas, who eventually evolved the iconic wooden clothes the tribe of over 16,000 wears today. Their average lifespans are slightly higher than those of Ticonderogas and they are often stronger and more muscular. The Wooden-Mechanical War is also in progress.

Ticonderogan Plague

The **Ticonderogan Plague** was a prolonged but localized epidemic of a disease solely capable of infecting the graphite of Ticonderogas. It originated in the poor neighborhoods of Dixon in the autumn of 896. Schools were forced to close, and parents were expected to homeschool their children. However, working single parents did not have the time to do this, so their kids remained uneducated. This dropped the average Ticonderogan IQ from 92 in 890 to around 81 in 940 and is why this plague is sometimes nicknamed the 'Fool's Plague of 900.' The outbreak ended in 941 with the rapid deployment of a vaccine, the invention of which had been led by scientist James Edward Pensen. By 942, the disease had been eradicated.

### Notes

Coincidentally, the plague's timeline coincides nearly perfectly with the Grave Epidemic on Marconessco Island. For instance, a vaccine for this disease was created in 941, while that for Grave Disease was invented only three years later.
Yasutomo&Co (Niji) Grip 350 / Penac Double knock

a prototype launcher that was used in the army of the 600,000

first dropped by the almighty tallest purple in 607, it crash landed in pentel's hq, where they didnt know if it was an alien invader. It was first used as a distraction as it was a pen/pencil mixed together in mechanism and made a loud annoying clicking noise.

another enemy, penac, (around 1776) found the remains of the niji grip 350 and rebranded it as their own

currently deceased as of 1994-06-23
Pencilverse

The **Pencilverse** is a universe containing trillions of galaxies.

### Creation

Dozens of civilizations have attempted to explain the creation of the Pencilverse. For instance, an old myth of the Orally tribe states that the Pencilverse was created by a legendary figure known as the Old Master by hand drawing the planets with his trusty pencil. However, this is quite unlikely as archeological evidence suggests that pencils evolved from Graphonculi rather than existing since the beginning of time.

### Galaxies

* Potato Cloud (the galaxy containing Epsilon)
* Pennenburg Galaxy
* Yeelerman Galaxy
Weibo

The **Weibos** are the dominant pencil species on Marconessco Island, inhabiting the prosperous nation of Weiboa and renowned for their stealth and military prowess.

### History

The splitting of Graphitus and Marconessco Island several thousand years ago separated pencils into two civilizations. The Weibos developed significantly faster and earlier than Graphitan civilization, inventing pencil sharpening and oracle bones. Until the 100s, they lived solely in straw or mud huts in secluded forest-dwelling communities. Over time, their skin changed to green to camoflauge with the vegetation. On Graphitus, their existence was unknown until 1258, when Mark Robertson found a washed-up crate containing Weibo corpses at Junk Point.

### Education

Weibos traditionally enter school at only 4 years old. There, they learn essential skills to survive in the wild, including foraging, hunting, fishing, and archery, as well as their native language, Adepti.

### Famous Weibos

* Subi Barrton
* Quova Vanderpen (possibly partially Weiboan)
* Micon Park
Oshwasha Tanjakipur

**Oshwasha Tanjakipur** was a Staedtler president.

### Life

In 1442, **Oshwasha** was born in the snow bunker of his hometown, Au Rihba. At age 16, he became lost and trespassed into No. 2 lands, so he was imprisoned and sent to the No. 2 Refugee Camp. When the Snow Cloud ended, he became homeless and began begging for Poks and food on the street. After a while, he started a business and became a millionaire. In 1592, he was diagnosed with a deadly variant of Pencilitis and died in 1601. The Graphitus News Network (GNN) documented his journey from poverty to success. Oshwasha's son Fiberius became the next president.
