Life in Spinachgardr

## The Adamazons

According to the Mirabolante Saghe Fenrir, the first contacts with the Adamazzoni occurred when they attacked the Fenrir, at the time commanded by a very young Azamon. The horsemen hordes invaded Spinachgardr, mistreating the prisoners and razing the entire floor to the ground. In the following years, however, relations were normalized, establishing marital relations of convenience to reaffirm the vassalage of the Fenrir.

The Fenrir then decided to send young men to camp near the Adamazons, to do what they had to \*wink wink nodge nodge\* In case they were chosen by a warrior, they would not have to flee but give themselves without hesitation. This plan was adopted because the Fenrir strongly desired to have children.

The Adamazons live isolated from men, communicating only to reproduce and generate daughters. No Fenrir is allowed access to their camp; but once a year, they launch an assault to consume and leave the male offspring in the custody of their unwilling husbands.

## The library of the Tiwanaz

Azamonipal was known as a valiant military commander; however, he was also a prominent intellectual, and an avid collector of texts and tablets. As a young man, he had had the opportunity to learn both Fenrian and ancient Torrigian. He sent, during his reign, scribes to every region to copy famous ancient texts.

He also used war plunder to replenish his nascent library. His interest in hydroponic farming texts was one of the main stimuli in gathering material for his collection. He is reported to have stated on one occasion that his purpose was "to learn the magical secrets of hydroponics in order to maintain its royal power forever."

In its current composition, the library comprises 30,000 tablets, including legislation, diplomatic correspondence, myths, medical, astronomical and, of course, hydroponics texts.

The Saga of Baldo and Ubaldo, a masterpiece of Fenrinian poetry, was found in the library, along with other tales alluding to strange lupine deities and Sveg's treatises on the hydroponic cultivation of spinach.

## Hydroponic technology

The first published work on growing plants without soil dates back to the mythical days of Sveg Red Eyes, to whom the ancient floruit of hydroponic practice is attributed.

At the skaldic university of Spinachgardr, Sveg began publicly promoting a miraculous solution to be used for large-scale agricultural production. He caused quite a scandal when he managed to grow spinach stems 8 meters tall in his laboratory using mineral fertilizers instead of soil.

Unfortunately, Sven didn't realize that his contemporaries wouldn't be ready to accept this revolutionary stunt: he was denied use of the university's greenhouses and was ridiculed by a large group of colleagues.

After leaving his academic position, Sven published his magnum opus "Maximum Guide to Hydroponic Spinach Growing (runes not included)" on VHS. The work was soon put on the index, and after the author's death all trace or memory of it was lost. Until now...

## E-commerce Heterodoxy

In the early 1950s, first among the fenrir, Azamon, recently returned from a trip to Cocoon Planet, began running a small e-commerce business in the snowy halls of his residence in Spinachgardr.

People were outraged! Many passersby began to insult and despise Azamon as they saw him walking down the street. How dared this strange man not care about the social taboo he was committing?

Azamon had been the first man to unashamedly boast of e-commerce in 18th century Spinachgardr, a place and time in which it was strictly forbidden. In the minds of most fenrir, ecommerce was a symptom of weakness of character, particularly for warriors. Very few were willing to be even simply seen in the vicinity of such detestable and effeminate invention. Publicly bragging about owning one was tantamount to social suicide.

Moreover, he ecommerce was considered too kami; invented at Cocoon Planet to produce wealth without ever exposing himself to sunlight, it had soon spread to the wealthy classes of all floors, without ever losing the stigma of the wacky upstairs invention.

But Azamon, stubborn as usual, paid little attention to all this: eccentric man that he is, he never backed down in front of controversies, going so far as to write a treatise opposing the introduction of vegetables in the diet of his compatriots.
