Mithai Glorianda of Il Mheg was once the heartland for the Kingdom of Voeburt. In the fae tongue, "Mithai" means "mother" and "Glorianda" was known as the legendary Forebear of Pixies.

When Aenc Thon, the Fuath ruler of Dohn Mheg, is not tricking others with one of their traps, they dream of growing up as mortals do. Some scholars believe their adult persona is a musician of some sort, due to the use of a stringed instrument during their man-like illusion.

I think it's even funnier if there isn't a specific Monster Jesus. If that chocobo just rocks up to a normal human monastery and is like helo i would like to join :)

In Final Fantasy Tactics if a unit gains too much faith they leave your party to go find God. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had Beast Tongue and got a monster unit to maximum faith? Of course you haven't. No one has.

Aenc Thon is the leader of the Fuath in Il Mheg. They're known for their magical prowess in water magic and illusion magic, ruling within the magnificent castle called Dohn Mheg. It's debated whether they are called the Lord of Lingering Gaze or Lord of the Lengthsome Gait.

Dire Facts Day #5:
The Silent Cliffs of Il Mheg are where once some townspeople tried to flee from sin eaters. It is said that they never had the chance to even speak before the faeries came and changed all of them into mute leafmen.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Thysm Lran means "our stately mansion" in the language of the fae. The watery abode was once part of the Kingdom of Voeburt but now belongs to the aquatic Fuath.

Two new friends from Final Fantasy colony. These are actually a little older than Cloud’s litter, their mama must have been hiding them away in the woods until recently. I only saw these two, time will tell if more from this litter will appear. They’re curious & not super spicy. Meet Selphie & Rinoa

Selphie, a dilute torbie kitten, stands over Rinoa, a little calico kitten with one eye closed shut due to an upper respiratory infection

Nanamo Ul Namo's parents came from two different lives. He, a member of the royal family. She, the daughter of a modest merchant house. They met at a palace banquet--an opportunity to mix with the notables of commerce--and it was love at first sight.
