Entyland

**Entyland** is a micronation occupying a tropical island belonging to Marconessco Island.

### History

In June of 2004 PY, Weibo colonists claimed Entyland as well as 4 other islands east of Marconessco. In the 2050s, it experienced a boom in population as both Graphitans and Marconesscans fled from the two overpopulating continents. By 2060, there were at least 1,400 pencils residing in Entyland.

In 2061, the first concert was hosted at Entyland Hall in the island's center. It was performed by RGBTQ+ legend DragMaster, who sung her famous composition "I am just a Fish". Entyland citizens continue to celebrate the song, which many consider a masterpiece, to this day.

In 2083, a human browser game was named after Entyland, which can be played here.
About Us

### 2022

The concept of a world inhabited by pencils dates back to early 2022, when friends Shaurya and Micah devised the first wars and notable pencils such as Terko and Mechron Bic. However, the idea remained untouched until the beginning of the next school year. In September, Shaurya met Marco and told him about Penciland. Marco, who was interested in conlanging and worldbuilding, was intrigued. Together, they began writing a book that would serve as the foundation for what Penciland is today.

Additionally, Marco (fandom username Quito0567) had been an avid contributor on several communities, including in the Bloons Conception Wiki and Amogus Wiki. So he thought it would be great to organize their creations on such a website. Thus, on October 7th, Pencilpedia was born. Over the following months, Shaurya (fandom username EntyXD) continued sharing new events happening in Penciland daily, which Marco added and built upon on this wiki. By the year's end, they had amassed 137 pages, nearly all of which were created by Quito, who was extremely dedicated to the project.

### 2023

During the beginning of 2023, Pencilpedia saw little growth. But that was soon broken in late February, when Quito's friends, OhNoman1259 and BliepMonster, began editing. Bliep quickly reached 200 edits, creating pages such as Pablo Cheeseman and Quova Vanderpen, as well as helping to expand pages such as New Ticonderoga. Shaurya has since continued to supply Marco with names for pencils, locations, and recent events through Discord.

### Milestones

* November 1, 2022: 65 pages - according to a post of mine that was deleted in June 2023 for some reason
* Late November: 100 pages (?)

Bicland

**Bicland** is a large region south of Staedtler named after Mechron Bic and inhabited by the Mechanicals and Faber-Castell.

### History

**Bicland**, founded during the Golden Era, was originally much larger and contained Junk Point until 1228, when Staedtler annexed most of its territory. Later, in the 1400s, Faber-Castell claimed even more land and removed all traces of the native Delsetan religion. In 2096, the Mechanicals, led by tyrant Itron, invaded Bicland, expanding their empire by over 60%.

March of Triumph

**March of Triumph** is the national anthem of Ticonderoga, composed and lyricized by Pencilus Marksavius III in 1847 and introduced in 1854. In 2050, the original instances of empire in the 1st, 6th, 14th, and last verses were replaced with nation following Ticonderoga's switch from an empire to a democracy.

Horizon

**Horizon Inc.** is a rocket construction company based in Stencil. It was established in 1226, following the discovery of a 4th century schematic depicting Horizon V1, the first rocket design and after which the company was named.

## History

### Horizon-A1

Horizon-A1 was the first rocket prototype, engineered in secrecy during the Great Pencil War. It was worked on by over 20 top scientists, including the likes of Mechron Bic, Terko, and John Pencilius. Although it was never built, it did lead to the founding of Horizon Inc.

### Horizon-A2

Horizon-A2 was the first rocket ever launched. It took off on the 10th Kett of the 7th Ajack, 1228.

### Horizon-A3

Horizon-A3 was the second rocket launched, in 1304. Strapped to it was the monumental Voidan Satelite, built in Staples, which took the first photograph of Graphitus, albeit in black and white and 144p resolution.

### Hyperion 4

From 2036 to 2074, Horizon partnered with Tom Drevvy's television and console company Hyperion to assemble the Hyperion 4, a state-of-the-art rocket equiped with the finest 4K resolution Hyperion camera, with which the first HD color photograph of all of Epsilon was taken. Four years later, a detailed photo of Graphitus and Marconessco was taken.
Epic Johnson

**Epic Johnson**, born **Alfred Johnson**, was a president of the Staedtlers and before his rebirth, a legendary figure known for his heroism and muscularity.

### First Life

Epic was an orphan born in Staedtler City, in 722. When he was young, he moved to Ticonderoga. There, he befriended Ticonderogan royalty and established a bustling gym business, where he became incredibly strong and rapidly rose in social rank. Many years later, while training for a bodybuilding competition, architect Ferdinand Hilmar gave Epic classified blueprints for the expansion of New Ticonderoga and told him to keep it a secret. However, he accidentally revealed the plans to the Staedtler Government, resulting in the Johnson War, a hunt for one man that consequently led to the death of thousands. After centuries of hiding, he decided to finally turn himself in and was executed on July 4th, 974, at Lanigar Penitentiary.

### Second Life

Epic was one of the millions of Staedtlers reborn during the Third Ghost Rally. He was found in a sack of potatoes and was sent to Rally Institute for questioning. He eventually rose to the position of Staedtler president and his rebirth was discussed in *Controversial Thoughts* by Tom Drevvy in 1890. Epic died of natural causes in 2049, living a total of 441 years.
Dixonius

**Dixonius** was the most spoken language on Graphitus from its invention to around 350, when Ticonderogan overtook it.

## Linguistics

* tis - object
* ben - pencils
* rob - erasers
* kal - food
* fir - plants
* liv - animals
* tar - building
* ala - sky
* vis - sight
* odo - hearing
* aro - smell
* nib - taste
* toc - touch
* loc - place
* peg - movement
* dec - speed
* sat - ferocious
* ede - dog
* ele - crest

### Vocabulary

* tartocala - skyscraper (building touch sky)

Faber-Castell University

**Faber-Castell University** is an educational institute located in Castellion. It was constructed in 1536, following the Snow Cloud. Including its external campuses in Mechenburg and Dixon, it is nearly ten times larger than TIOG, and its teachers are often described as higher quality, so the university receives frequent funding from the government.
Ghost Rallies

The **Ghost Rallies** were three protests that occurred in Rally from 1857 to 1860.

### Events

Seemingly nothing strange occurred during the first protest, but during the second, many claimed to see green ghosts emerging from the ground. During the third, waves in shades of blue and green circulated around the town. Around 9 PM, all pencils fell into a deep trance and the dead emerged from their graves. When they woke up the next morning, the Staedtler population had nearly doubled. These “ghosts” were all 20 years old and lacked any past memories or real-world knowledge.

Investigators soon realized that the new Staedtlers were all pencils who had died during the Johnson War. Tom Drevvy and Epic Johnson were among the resurrected. Staedtler sorcerer Rayan Alam was later found to be involved with these mysterious events, the causes of which are still unknown, but was found dead in his apartment, likely an act of suicide. However, some have speculated that this was all caused by the alignment of Nirhiti, the Elemental Star of the Spirits, and the Pillar of the Spirits in Rally Plaza, which occurred on the night of the third protest.
Battle of the Haggars

The **Battle of the Haggars** was the main battle in a series of naval conflicts that occurred late in the Great Pencil War, along the eastern coast of Graphitus.

### Description

*(A few weeks after the Battle of Whiteshoe City)*

The battle began when the **Jomo Palaza**, a pirate ship with a crew of Haggars (a tribe from Ticonderoga), spotted a cluster of approaching ships in the heavy fog. Thinking the ships were friendly, they advanced toward them. However, the boats belonged to the No. 2s and they only realized this when it was too late. The No. 2s cannons launched Graphite Bombs, obliterating the Ticonderogan ship. For several weeks, the No. 2s annihilated every vessel in their path as they traveled southward. By the time they reached the Ticonderogan coast, they had destroyed dozens of ships and were armed with all the loot they had collected along the way. They traded at a small harbor, but surprisingly, did not harm any Ticonderogan property. A few hours later, they peacefully returned to the No. 2 Empire.

### Aftermath

The **Battle of the Haggars** resulted in the death of at least 20,000 Ticonderogas, but there were very few No. 2 casualties. This, combined with the constant rebellions from the Parenthi of Sun, led the Ticonderoga Empire to surrender only 3 days later (in the form of the Great Pencil Treaty).

### See also

* A Barbarian faction known as "Bart Hageirs," or "New Haggars," participated in the Epic Stencil War.
Bunker War

The **Bunker War** was a long and extensive conflict fought both above and below ground, in various Snow Bunkers, during the Snow Cloud. It lasted 83 years, from 1450 to 1533. It saw the first military use of NurogiTech to communicate with foreign allies, such as between Ticonderoga and Staedtler. After decades of subterranean and trench warfare, Ticonderoga and Staedtler emerged victorious, conquering large stretches of farmland and oil fields, including a plantation formerly part of Blue Fields.

### Participants

* Ticonderoga-Staedtler Legion
* No. 2 Republic
* Faber-Castell
* Apsaran Miners
Eachs Lee

**Eachs Lee** was a farmer from the Lee Family of unknown species but likely Ticonderogan. He lived sometime in the 1st century.

### Mentions

* The Aragabudiva, Act Four: "My grandfather was sharpened by knife until he was as short as his mother. Eachs Lee, a farmer and family man, was burned that day at the stake for his dark powers of duplication."
* A bronze plate in Hemotes' Labyrinth: "In memory of Eachs and Tobina Lee." (assumed to be his wife)
Corrupted Forest

*"The forest was lush, dense, limitless, and ancient. Its canopy was ruled by exotic trees and ample openings let enough dancing beams of light through for a patchwork of shrubs to cultivate the rich grounds below. Quiet branches held onto a couple of trees, and a range of flowers, which grew in some clearings, enriched the otherwise green landscape. A cacophony of noises, mainly those of chirping birds, resonated through the air, and were backed by raging river currents clashing against boulders."*

- George Bethal, 431

For centuries, a lush and biodiverse woodland thrived alongside the No. 2s. But in 519, early in the Climate War, three pyromaniacs, one of which was Patencillius Tufirstitity, ancestor of Peteus T.S.D., ignited it in the night. Within hours, the intricate ecosystem was eradicated, leaving only brown, rotting snags. The area was then dubbed "**The Corrupted Forest**" and many No. 2s believe evil spirits inhabit it.
Ferrule

A **Ferrule** (a corruption of Latin viriola "small bracelet", under the influence of ferrum "iron"), on a pencil known as a **Shoe**, is any of a number of types of objects, generally used for fastening, joining, sealing, or reinforcement.

### Definition

Ferrules are often narrow circular rings made from metal, or less commonly, plastic. Most consist of a circular clamp used to hold together and attach fibers, wires, or posts, generally by crimping, swaging, or otherwise deforming the ferrule to permanently tighten it onto the parts that it holds. In the context of this wiki, the metal sleeve which is crimped to hold a pencil's eraser in place is called a ferrule.

### Origins

The first ferrules developed among Graphitan and Marconesscan farmers around 800,000 BY, far long after those two continents split from Crayola Island. This is why colored pencils lack a ferrule, unless they are the offspring of a regular pencil and colored pencil, in which case they gain a ferrule and eraser. These pencils are known as 'erasable colored pencils.'
ARK

**ARK** is the leading seller of artillery on Graphitus.

### Founding

In 639, two years after the Battle of Tosquaria, the Tosquarian army set up camp in Finnbad. They stole the village’s cannons and mortars and sold them at Ticonderoga.

### Models

* ARK-100: an early, primitive cannon with a few hundred in existence
* ARK-200: a cheap and effective cannon
* ARK-300: a better but costlier version of the ARK-200
* ARK-400: a deadly howitzer
* ARK-2000: a high-end, expensive mortar that fires plasma with an immense range
Mechron Bic

**Mechron Bic** was a No. 2 pencil known for inventing mechanical pencils and LED, as well as working on the first rocket Horizon-A1.

### Biography

The following text is an excerpt from a WIP book by Shaurya and Marco:

In the 300s, the average pencil lifespan ranged from around 50 to 100 years old, depending on species and hereditary factors. However, a brilliant young mind named **Mechron Bic** aspired to change this. **Mechron** was raised in a middle-class family in Whiteshoe City. He graduated from the Pencil Institute of Medicine in Stencil and received a degree in healthcare. He also visited the Nuremberg Institute to learn about the creation of pencils. After three weeks, he returned to Stencil. There he performed experiments on graphite and sold his findings to the public.

After months of hard work, Mechron designed and patented a metal shell that, when encasing a pencil, would boost its immune system, more than quadrupling its estimated lifespan. He named his creation “the mechanical pencil.”, and quickly became a multimillionare. Then, he founded the Lead Manufacturing Company, and purchased an enormous private island with a laboratory and team of scientists to further his studies. With the scientists, he invented LED Graphite, and with it, generation two of mechanical pencils. **Mechron** is also the only known pencil to have seen two pencil wars, as he lived to see the Climate War, and died peacefully in his sleep in 532. His possessions were split evenly between his three children.

### Legacy

**Mechron Bic**'s private island is now known as Bic Island, and Bicland and Bic Sea were named after him. His inventions revolutionized pencil manufacturing and have greatly prolonged the lives of millions.
Magnus Pencilton

**Magnus Pencilton** (1417 - 1580) was a polymath, polyglot, mathematician, alchemist, soldier, and the grandson of a cousin of Henry Pencilton. He is often considered the second most intelligent pencil to ever live, behind Prodigy.

### Life

In 1417, Magnus was born in Castellion into the wealthy Pencilton family. He became interested in alchemy at a young age. Then, in 1445, Magnus became the first pencil to perfect a process to transform graphite into gold. Then, in 1450, at the beginning of the Bunker War, he enlisted in the Ticonderogan army. He became one of the most famed and decorated soldiers ever and was met with the praise of his entire country when he returned home. He is said to have been able to read, write, and speak in five different languages, all from studying the speech of enemy soldiers during the war. When asked why he chose to serve, he famously said "The opportunity of defeating the enemy is not chosen by us but provided by the enemy himself." Magnus continued his research until his death in 1580.
Muk Sus Region

The **Muk Sus Region** is an arid and sparsely inhabited Marconesscan region known for its heaps of quicksand and fields of mud, where valuable minerals such as Mukurar have been discovered. Its population of 2,020 is scattered among a few villages made from sun-dried mudbricks.

### History

The region was discovered by Subi Barrton in 910, and shortly after, by Weibo explorers, but they did not claim it due to its lack of natural resources (and deadly quicksand).

### Etymology

Muk (death) + Sus (sand) means quicksand in the native language of Muksusi.
Basaltas

**Basaltas** is the capital of the Basalta Triangle. It was constructed in 1029 as a trading post and rest area for merchants crossing the region during the Great Western Trade. When the nearby Basalt Volcano became active in the 1400s, some fled to the nearby cities of Castellion and Palomino. Its Snow Bunker was named Basa.
Nebula Empire

The **Nebula Empire** was a mighty empire that ruled eastern Marconessco and present-day Madisi from 2107 to 2136.

### History

The year was 2107. It was less than a decade ago that the Fifth Pencil War had begun. Tensions were high and not a single nation was safe. Rebel Basaltans, led by public speaker Jake Cranberry, fled the country to settle by Kovac Port in eastern Marconessco. The following year, No. 2 assassins attempted to murder Jake but were unsuccessful. As such, Nebula got to scheming. In 2110, its top scientists unlocked the revolutionary and apocalyptic power of nuclear bombs in an operation known as Project Eclipse. With the support of its allies in the Horizon Alliance, Nebula retaliated with a fatal attack that devastated and left the Madisi Empire, at that time an ally of the rival No. 2s, in ruins. By 2112, Nebula had become the most powerful and threatening empire on all of Epsilon. However, its true might was revealed in 2136, when Madisi revolted and reduced the Nebula Empire to rubble in a three-day naval invasion.
Internet

### Description

According to Wikipedia, the I**nternet** is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to communicate between networks and devices. It is a *network of networks* that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the interlinked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and file sharing.

Most traditional communication media, including telephone, radio, television, paper mail, and newspapers, are reshaped, redefined, or even bypassed by the Internet, giving birth to new services such as email, Internet telephone, Internet television, online music, digital newspapers, and video streaming websites. Newspaper, book, and other print publishing have adapted to website technology or have been reshaped into blogging, web feeds, and online news aggregators. The Internet has enabled and accelerated new forms of personal interaction through instant messaging, Internet forums, and social networking services. Online shopping has grown exponentially for major retailers, small businesses, and entrepreneurs, as it enables firms to extend their "brick and mortar" presence to serve a larger market or even sell goods and services entirely online. Business-to-business and financial services on the Internet affect supply chains across entire industries.

"*Amosus was the imposter*" - Adrianus II, allegedly

**Amosus** was one of the first Starean villages.

### History

**Amosus** was founded by a wealthy mercenary around 756 at the intersection of two minor trade routes. Upon his death, he left a large amount of money to the citizens, but it was stolen when the settlement was pillaged, massacred, and burned down by bandits in 810. Its name meant 'rich place' in the Starean language.
Crayolan (language)

**Crayolan** is the primary language spoken in the Crayola Empire. Its earliest record was found on 2000 year old pottery unearthed at Happara. It contains an inscription reading 'On this day, the shepherd traded 10 sheep-worth of wool with the farmer for a bushel of wheat,' or in Crayolan, 'Ensum ye'Nuatis al'Pufumel urtok'Is tuntz pufswel di'Pufeit int'Goskel partum equi di'Opet'.

Climate War

The **Climate War**, also known as the **Great Pencil War 2** or **Second Pencil War**, was the second major Graphitan conflict. It marked the end of the Industrial Era and beginning of the Timber Era.

### Events

* Clash of 521
* Battle of Dofeinzylway

### Summary

In 519, Ticonderoga's greed for the No. 2's abundant wood and sandstone escalated into an all-out war. Ticonderoga unleashed its newly invented flamethrowers, burning entire cities to the ground. Bandits also ignited the Corrupted Forest in the process, destroying the habitat of millions of plants and animals. In response, the No. 2s infiltrated Ticonderoga and stole their design, with which they devised snow cannons. During the Great Clash of 521, they stationed their cannons near Brookcannon Lane and fired into the city. Ticonderoga's military pushed back the No. 2s, but by then, thousands had perished and General Obelron and several officials had been caught in the crossfire. Later that year, a group of Rally citizens invented the Rallion religion.

Then, in 522, Staedtler joined the conflict, first by sending a fleet of peacekeepers. But after three failed attempts, they launched seven guided missiles at the City of Ticonderoga and neighboring cities, including Roadly and Fraxburg, which were leveled in an instant. Ticonderoga had to surrender, and once again, they signed a peace treaty. But how long would it really last?
Golf City

**Golf City** is a small but famous Ticonderogan town located two miles from the border.

### History

In 312, a caravan of No. 2s disguised Ticonderogan merchants journeyed to Ticonderoga and asked its government for permission and resources to assemble a camp some miles north and east. Materials were scarce during wartime, but they still received several logs, a pile of sticks, and some leaves. From the camp, they spied on Ticonderoga, and during the following night, they bombed it. When Ticonderogan officials heard the firing arrows and launching of cannon balls in the distance, they went over and questioned what they were doing. The No. 2s told them they were developing and testing weapons, which satisfied the officials, so they left. Over time, the small outpost became a stable town, which they named Golf City.

Notably, Golf City did not become a part of Ticonderogan territory until the establishment of the New Ticonderoga Region in 522, when New Ticonderoga began construction. In 869, the Battle of Golf City occurred, and the first Golf Pencils appeared here in the 11th century.
Lanigar Penitentiary

**Lanigar Penitentiary** is a supermax prison located on Lanigar Cay, comparable to the pencil version of Alcatraz. It was constructed during the Johnson War to eventually house Epic Johnson. However, Epic was only executed here instead.

### Famous Convicts

* Troy McWilliams (2102 - 2107)
* Peteus T.S.D (1930 - 1941), along with 2,000 other barbarians
* Jamal Tarclavius (1063 - 1129)
Emperor Ticongonga

**Ticongonga** was an alleged emperor of the Ticonderogan Empire, said to have ruled from 1448 to 1456.

### Attestations

In 1986, a pencil by the name of Heraserdotus claimed to have found Prodigy's lost time machine and used it to travel to the year 1448, during the Snow Cloud. There, he was reportedly declared a god and worshiped for emerging from such an unheard-of device. Heraserdotus says he was appointed nobility by the king. The only problem with his account is that no historical records speak of such an emperor. Heraserdotus explains this by stating that the king was tyrannical and did not want any traces to remain of his existence. For now, most scholars agree that the claims are false, but the definite truth remains unknown.
LED

**LED** is a chemical element with the symbol **Pb** (from the Latin *plumbum*) and atomic number 82. It is a heavy metal that is denser than most common materials. LED is soft and malleable, and has a relatively low melting point. When freshly cut, LED is a shiny gray with a hint of blue. It tarnishes to a dull gray color when exposed to air. LED has the highest atomic number of any stable element and three of its isotopes are endpoints of major nuclear decay chains of heavier elements. Even in small amounts, LED is toxic to humans (but not to pencils).
Soul Linked

A very unique and interesting case where one soul is linked to multiple bodies allowing that person to transfer their soul to different bodies to use. They are able to switch whenever they desire and are able to pass off as a different person on the surface. Typically someone who is Soul Linked has the same cadence to their voice when they are speaking from whichever body they are in. Most Soul Linked figure out a way to transport a body with no Soul in it with them allowing them to use this ability for whatever purpose they might want. Notably if one body is damaged the other one is also damaged.

Cyclone Event

The **Cyclone Event** was the deadliest natural disaster on Graphitus, killing over 80,000 and causing over 1 trillion Poks in damage.

### Event

In 1019, cyclone appeared in the Draconian Sea. For nine days, it slowly crossed northern Graphitus, wreaking havoc on the No. 2s and Staedtlers, including their newly built skyscrapers. It took many years for Graphitus to fully recover.
Farmer’s War

The **Famer's War** was a series of territorial disputes between Graphitan and Marconesscan famers that occurred at the end of the last ice age, from around 20,000 to 9,000 BP.

### Summary

As glaciers advanced, fertile soil became a precious resource. This led to frequent skirmishes and raids as both sides fought to ensure their survival in the harsh environment. However, the struggle for control also drove innovation in resourceful farming techniques and the development of primitive defensive and offensive technologies, including wooden barricades and snow moats. Once the ice age ended, peace was restored between the two communities.

Necsam

"*Just rub a little Necsam on it and I'm sure you'll be fine.*" - Subi Barrton

**Necsam** is a slightly adhesive substance excreted by the glands of bees during the pollination of the Necsam flower native to Marconessco Island. Necsam was first used by the Weibos in ancient times as a repellant against Staplers due to its nauseating smell. However, through refinement, the odor can be exterminated, and the result is an effective skin cleanser and moisturizer. As such, Necsam is now a household staple worldwide.
Battle of Whiteshoe City

**The Battle of Whiteshoe City** was a major turning point in the Great Pencil War.

### Description

He is said to have been "ruthlessly cruel" and participated in 2 wars and 6 battles, losing his army in all of them. Fortunately, his son, Potlood I, regained the lost land (and more).

### Mentions

* The Weibo Monarchy, "Bliep I was a cruel king, executing thousands. He closed education to force young children into the army. Life was terrible when he ruled."
Ashbourne

**Ashbourne** is the second most populous city in the Faber-Castell Empire, named after the neighboring Mount Ashbourne.

### History

In 1042, Faber-Castell expanded into the area around Mount Ashbourne due to its fertile soil and strategic location near the Western Trade Route. Over the years, Ashbourne grew into a bustling city, with a diverse population and a thriving economy based on farming and trade.

Throughout its history, Ashbourne has played a key role in the Faber-Castell Empire, serving as a major center of commerce and culture. It has also had important relationships with other cities in the region, including Castellion and the neighboring Malden. Ashbourne's annual October Harvest Festival draws visitors from around Graphitus to celebrate the city's agricultural heritage.
Dragonblade

**Dragonblade**, or **Giltej** in Ticonderogan, is a chain of Sharpening Stations established in 1749 and based in Ticonderoga City. It is often considered the most reliable sharpening company, even more so than the No. 2’s TurboBlast, though it is attached with a high price.

### Etymology

From Fraxanese ‘Giltej,’ meaning ‘dragon slayer’
Great Western Trade

The **Great Western Trade** was a series of commercial transactions that occurred between the Ticonderogan, Faber-Castell, Staedtler, and Mechanical Empires, as well as various other tribes scattered along western Graphitus.

### About

In 1027, Ticonderogan and No. 2 merchants bartered in Bicland. The location soon became a trading post, which they named Junk Point, and the route was expanded southward. Caravans were common along the path, and at one point, it stretched from Staedtler to Baxham Port. However, the route soon became obsolete with the invention of cargo ships in the 1100s.

Its immediate effect was positive, boosting economies, promoting intercultural mixing, and spreading knowledge. However, when the Sieu Massacre struck, it became the main method of infection for Ophogian Discolorenoma.
Laurentien II

**Laurentien II** (809 - 972) was the empress of the Palomino Empire from 878 to 925. She was colored, inheriting the genes of her red father and blue mother.

### Life

Laurentien was born in Palomino in 809, to Laurentien I, the previous emperor, and his wife Curaias. In 878, with the passing of her father, Laurentien became the next ruler. She had trained much of her life for this moment and was ready to put her training to good use. Laurentien immediately established an alliance and trade agreement with the neighboring Mechanicals, so that they could support each other in war. This long-standing friendship would later prove useful during the Siege of Hillford in 1110, during which 2,000 Mech troops aided in the capture of the city.

In 925, Laurentien contracted Discolorenoma, supposedly from a prisoner who had escaped the castle dungeon. Unfortunately, she was then deemed unfit to rule, cutting her reign short. And since Laurentien never married, the next Palomino emperor was actually Mechno Graphtu II. In her later years, Laurentien also became deaf and mute, but still enjoyed tending to the royal garden. Despite this, she managed to live an astounding 163 years, quite high for the time and especially with all her disabilities.
Castellion Invasion

**The Castellion Invasion** was a successful but temporary occupation of Castellion performed by the No. 2s during the Great Pencil War.

### Information

Castellion is the capital of the Faber-Castell Empire, but back then, it was part of the Ticonderoga Empire, which the No. 2s planned to conquer by slowly seizing small portions of their territory. The battle resulted in the death of over 3,000 civilians. Additionally, the Huntells descend from Faber-Castells who escaped into the wilderness. Lastly, although it only lasted five days, it gave the No. 2s a surplus of food, building materials, and Poks.
Fraxanese

**Fraxanese** is an extinct language formerly spoken in the cities of Fraxburg, Roadly, and New Ticonderoga. Though having much of the same grammar and vocabulary as Ticonderogan, it was considered a separate language due to its nuanced formation of subject-verb agreements. Fraxanese's popularity peaked in the 900s, with a reported 42,852 speakers in 960. But by 1100, it had faded into obscurity, largely due to its difficulty to learn, even for native speakers of Ticonderogan. Despite this, some of its words are used for naming for various things. For instance, Giltej means 'dragon slayer' in Fraxanese, and is the Ticonderogan name for Dragonblade.
Handius

**Handius** is an Epsilonian continent somewhat resembling a curved human hand.

### History

In 2106, the first non-native pencils, Staedtlers, arrived at Handius, establishing the town of Crescentville and forging a peace treaty with the native fire Crayolas. In 2109, the ship *Lunar Cruiser* began transporting Ticonderogas to Crescentville. Soon after, a town was built at a nearby cove, named Port Rocksby (*rocks-be*).
Blue Fields

**Blue Fields** is the third most populous city in the Faber-Castell Empire named after the species of blue wheat native to it.

### History

The land has been cultivated by pencils since prehistoric times. The Nurembergs did so in the 2nd and 3rd centuries. The city was founded over a millennium later, in 1221. The annual abundance and global demand for the wheat was critical to its growth. Today, its 300 acres (a huge area for pencils) constitute the largest wheat-producing region in Penciland.
Blackwing

**Blackwing** is a rare species of pencil found on Graphitus. Blackwings are collectively, and often derogatorily, often referred to as the **Outcasts**, since they have long been discriminated and rejected by urban society.

### Anatomy

Blackwings are often envied for their sturdy Cedar wood and fracture-resistant graphite, as well as their lightweight shoes and long erasers, which gives them a greater expected lifespan than any other pencil species.

### Blackwing Incident

The Blackwing Incident was a mass murder that occurred on Graphitus in 1802 PY that led to many new laws and restrictions being placed upon the citizens of Penciland. It led to the death of 14% of Graphitus' population and was seen as the largest murder in the history of Penciland's existence as a civilized land. The incident was caused by a rapid chain of planned assassination attempts performed by the Blackwings that ended far more lives than they were meant to. Though the specifics have not been revealed, it is believed that hitmen were hired to kill all political candidates in the election of that year, in an attempt to cause disarray and chaos across the country. This is also supported by the sudden death of Vesuvian ruler Musu Musu IV that same year. He is said to have died of a heart attack but some conspiracy theorists believe that his death was a planned assassination related to the events on Graphitus. When this occurred, the buildings in which the assassination attempts were made all crumbled under their own weight, crushing nearby buildings, of which crushed other buildings, and so on. It caused every skyscraper in Graphitus to fall, killing dozens of thousands.

In 1974, Blackwings assassinated Etb Bnuhnuz.

### Demographics

Blackwing pencils make up roughly 0.2% of Graphitus’ population, or around 8,000 *Blackwings* in total.

### Quotes

* "*Ticonderoga is offering the No. 2s their final chance for an alliance. But the No. 2s want to be a free nation. If this continues, Ticonderoga will send an all-out attack likely resulting in another war and bloodshed that could have been avoided. I say that a fourth war is inevitable.*" - Mike in an interview on August 26th, 1207, prophesizing the Fourth Pencil War.
* *"You have become the very thing you swore to destroy."* - Mike negotiating with the No. 2 government and encouraging them to not declare war, in 1209, the year before they became a republic.
Airship

An **Airship** is a type of airborne vessel. They have been utilized in warfare since the aptly named Airship War of the 1640s, during which airships transported soldiers, firearms, and explosives to rain down on enemy cities. Traditionally, airships gained their lift from a lifting gas that was less dense than the surrounding air, typically Helium or hot air. However, newer airships, such as those used during the Epic Stencil War, are fueled by Graphite to propel them even faster, much like how Earth trains use coal on land.
Huntell

**Huntell** is a tribe of cannibalistic Faber-Castells known for their barbaric methods of torture and several massacres.

### About

**Huntells** descend from refugees who fled Castellion during its invasion. Population estimates range from 15,000 to 28,000, and they live in tribes scattered around Bicland. They spear and shoot their prey, which includes prairie dogs, bison, elk, deer, and other pencils. They eat and hang the bones of their victims.
