Mr. Duncan

Mr. Duncan is the foreman on Bertha.

## Personality

Mr Duncan is very strict, over-demanding and in some cases over-bearing, making sure the orders Bertha makes are being let out on time. If a problem were to occur or if something goes wrong, the workers would turn to him for a solution.

He does not seem to get along well with Bertha due to her constant mistakes, her speed and age which is why he suggests Mr Willmake in The Best Machine Competition to use the other machine as it is ‘more modern and up to date’. The most possibly worst thing he has done in the factory was in More Speed, Less Work as he spied on the staff (he tells them he is not after being questioned by Nel and Flo), shuts down Bertha which upsets everyone and made Tom work up in the offices. This lead to a protest in the factory.

Despite this, he is nowhere near heartless or cruel as he does genuinely care for the workers and even Bertha and Tom. In The Burglars, he thanked Bertha at the end for retrieving the stolen wages from the thieves. And in Bertha’s Birthday Party, he along with the other workers wished Bertha a happy birthday.

Life

The start of it all.

## The begining

No one really knows how it began, some religious people say it is the work of their gods. But the more sientific folk ment that life began with water and perhaps a spark of magic, all everything else.

This then lead to the evolutionary chain that ended with the Dragons  who became the dominant specis on Khairan . Their rule was long and whide spread untill the "long winter came" and with it, the folk came. Evolved from mamals unlike the dragons, they then continued to spread, and with the help of ther "gods " made the world their dominion. But life have continued to flurish, and with magic it has formed and mutated more and more beings into its folds.

## Deity - Aspect of Life

While religions just handle life as a part of the whole, the followers of "holy khairan " belive that life, and as such the one who brings it has it's own physical aspect. This being a fair lady, sister of death with black skin and black hair, but her eyes have the glowing spark of life like the sun. Her every word pulse with pure magic and wherever she goes, life follows. She is the ruler of summer and spring, when life is in it's peek. Like her sister death, it is belived she can take any form and shape that suits her.

Unlike some of the other "aspects " life is highly selebrated with many events each year, though is not as ofthen named in songs and poetry by persson as the others. Most famous piece is the one writen by Tjana Saifel who after a neardeath experience during the first world war wrote "Upon your orders I serve "
Children's Shepard

## a Wolf in Sheep Skin

As the Trolls have the Kai'tsuur, so did the Humans have the Children's Shepard. A bogyman who they told storys of to frighten them to not be noughty.

Though the description change from place to place it was told the most common version was a gigantic wolflike man who dressed in wool clothing, dressed as a shepard. But instead of having sheep in his flock instead he had children who he had loured away. The only way to protect oneself from his loure was to be pious as he tempted with many wonderfull things. And then he let the children feed and play to their harts content, only to eat them when he found they grown enough.
Aspect day

Aspect day is the holiday spent to honor the chosen of Khairan but also the second harvest. Unlike the other holidays, this one can be more individualy celebrated depending on the aspect one wants to put their prayers and thanks towards. Aspect day is celebrated each year on first Roma of Aughtum.

## Offerings for the gifts of the year

Most people make offerings to the aspects, visiting the tempels are a large part of the begining on the day. There children ofthen are to dress up as their favorite aspect, helping in theatre plays, reteling the storys of the aspects.

Then when leaving a prayer is sent to the spirits as people leave their donation or offering. Thanking for what they have recived during the year and what they hope to get the coming one.

Imperial Calendar

The Imperial Calendar was implemented into the folk society after the joining with the dragons and the folk. It was one of the many changes made by Lady Kayl and Taiboor during their time of regime and a way of showing the might of the new empire.

## Counting the days

Each year of the Imperial Calendar is a total of 365 days. These are spread equaly between the four seasons of Khairan, Spring, Summer, Augtoum and Winter.

This leads to 91,25 days per season. Due to the uneven number the corection lead to one day extra before spring. Outside the year that is the day of the new year, Star celebration as the holiday is called.

To make it easier to count and write the dates, each season has then been divided in seven parts called "Idun". Thees Idun are named in turn after the seven brighest stars in the sky:

* Vilkja
* Roma
* Sheva
* Takil
* Werum
* Qursti
* Hama

Each of thees Idun is then 13 days long,. So when telling a date, the calendar is read: Tenth Roma of spring is somewhat early spring and Second Qursti of Winter Is rather late of the season.

Where there is a small extra houers each year more then the 365 days each year, this is corected trhough a sermony performed during the Star celebration whereas everyone stops the clock seven times, ones for each of the stars for an houer.

## Years and ages

The imperial calendar then turn every for season into one year. Thees years are then grouped together to an age.

Each age is based on the decree of the Ruling force based on large worldchanging events. each time a new age is declared, the year is counted to as the first year of the age, writen as such for example:

Second year of the Golden Age, telling it is right after the golden age has been declared. While the Threehundread of the Steam age is rather long time forward.

Some people and folk count thees ages diferently and can be somewhat regional, but even if a new age is made and another still use the old, most folk have an easy time following what year is ment as long as there is context on their counting.

Yuma

About the person, eyes of gold, hair of silver.

## When magic comes natural

He was born as early as the Dragon age, and as most Nymphos, Yuma was a magical being, but unlike his other kindred he did not have afinity with just one or two elements, but instead his magic was pure energy. This whas to many verry unusual and he was quickly soon schosen as a leader amongst his comunity.

The most interesting though was not just his power tjhat he could form through is will due to it's purity, but his odd apparence. Unlike many of his more nature looking friends, he had an even wilder look then most. His hair was silver white, long and animalistic. As was his eyes, golden and ferosious.

## Aspect of Magic

Yuma never lived his long life like most of his kin. His wild spirit ofthen had him venture outside, serching for adventure in the unknown. The last heard and seen of him was him bateling a dragon he had found in the mountins.

But many belived his spirit continued to live on, or that he did in fackt not die at all. This is shown they mean that a few times each year, people was born with the same golden eyes and silver hair. This was proof of grate magical strength and power, sometimes more then the the persson should be capable for his race. This is later called "the mark of Yuma" and is higly treasured by all, belived to be that his persson or spirrit have blessed this child and bestowed his power upon them.

The Eon was hunting for the group of Khassan who had made setelments on Khairan and begun to devour magic to feed itself. As the Khassan fought it they where killed or flead after their plan to trap the being failed, leaving the device known as the Tomb and left. The Eon recollected itself after battle and began anew it's decent, and the ruling regents who had been noted of it's arrival manage to use the device left to trap the entity.

The Eons powers manifest in it's ability to infest and control lesser beings though it's virus that multiplies within it's host and finaly fully converts the being into that of the hive.
some such beings has been left after the battle with the gods. Refered to the natives as Hydra, Abomination and Centaur. Thees creatures all originate from the Eon but as the being is locked up, it has lost control of the monsters.

Katalyst

The katalyst is a name used on the day when magic was lost to the world. The name originates from the war that broke out in fallout of the event, as well as many other changes made at that time. That being the industrial revolution that spread outside the Tomtur empire. The change in ownership of land as both dragons and nymphos disappeared.

The event took place year 972 of the Golden age but the actual reason for the event in it self was not discovered however until the end of another grate war, often referred to as the decent.
This was done at year 221 of the Steam age by the individuals of Rozintia Aringway and her closest crew as well as Brenda, Darragh and Amineh as they travel to a location named the "tomb of darkness"

It is at this location they learn that the catalyst was a side effects to the imprisonment of a being named Eon by using a device left by the old gods. They learn in fact also that magic did never dissapare as much as it was rapidly drawn into the prison to keep it going.
They also find that the missing races are all stored in cryo sleep in order to preven their death and preserve their wellbeeing as the sideeffect on magic was known. All this was discovered in images and recordings stored in crystals placed within the tomb.

They also learn there in more details of how magic work itself, gaining understanding the drainedge and how so plan a way to surcomvent it. But on a more darker note they also realize that the Eon is about to escape and has to plan for stopping it.

Fooun

"The eays of the sea, is everchanging and as vast as the sky"

## Origin

As the Merfolk was the least interactiv with the way of the gods, in their abandonment, they instead fell back to their old ways, before the Khassans.

## Belif and Gods

The belif of the Merfolk is that the the Ocean first covered all of land, but as some merfolk did not want to stay under the waters, but life in the sky above, they pleeded to  the godess Iuni who took pity upon their souls and lifted some of the land above the sea for them to live on, but with the promice of never to return, and that is why the folk above cannot breath under water.

They belive that the goddess Iuni and her huspand Aso are the rulers of the sea, and therefor the true world. They have many children who control fiferent parts of the world under the waves.

## Rules and Scripture

Their belife is not noted in any one place, but in different rocks in temples throughout the seas, and for a merfolk to become a preist, he most travel them all and learn their wordings by hart, then he can open a themple of his own and spread the tales only by mouth to any who needs the words or guidence of the gods.

The spiritual rules they live by state that the female is holy and it is the mans burden and previlige to protect her against all. More then that they also belive that if one leave for land, even as they are able through the shape changing gift, they when doing so cast away the protection of the goddes and is therefor branded for this upon their return if they do.

## Holidays and Practise

They have many a holidays, each one is a birthday celebration of the child of their god and godess. They also celebrate a few different other specific dates, stated by their local kings and queens who have made national holidays in the name of different priests or events.

Go **here** for more information on respective days

## Afterlife

The followers of the Fooun belive that when a spirit leaves it shell, they escape in form of water, and return to the grate sea, that is why they always wish to die at sea, and not in the ocean so they can join with their kin and be part of the grate sea.

Therefore, people who have broken sacred laws or made wrongfull deeds against the gods, are ofthen killed on land or by being locked into seeled spaces as preventing them to be with the reast of the ocean.
Kings Beast

There once was a king who had a most magnificent palace and everything around him was beutifull and nice. But what he desiered most was a pet that fitted his most handsome estate. So one day came a man selling criters from both far and wide. And the King demanded his most carismatic and best looking creature. And so he recived a cat with golden fur, teath of silver and eyes like dimonds. It was the envey of all and the kings favorit.

But so came a day, when the cat killed a calf, but while the people complained, the king heard it not. And so this continued, that it was first a cow then a donky, then horse and finaly i child. But no mather what did the king listen to the people, untill one day when he was out in his garden, his most enourmus a pet had become as large as a barn, and before he knew it, the creature ate the king in one quick swoop.

So lesson be learned: Never let your vanity rule, as it will consume you like fire.

Clockwork lullaby

Clocks that's ticking,

gears are clicking,

bissy minds are wor-king.

Oil is seeping,

steam clouds leaking,

time is forward jer-king.

Moon is shining,

wistle whining,

midnight soon upon us.

Hear the cat meow,

need to sleep now,

so we go to bed thus.

Coils are twisting,

bolts resisting,

as the ocean se-a.

Do now sleep child,

do not play wild,

let my song sooth the-e.

blow out candle,

gently handle,

we hang up our topp-er.

Pot is boi-ling,

wa-ter roi-ling,

trough the pipes of copp-er.

Trees are sway-ing,

mu-sic play-ing,

tem-po now sub-si-ding.

Now it's stopp-ing,

rain is dropp-ing,

down in bed you sli-ding.

Fi-re slow-ly dy-ing,

soon you are a fly-ing,

like a zep-lin stea-ming

Sing-ing you this so-ng,

it will not be lo-ng,

until you lie here drea-ming.
