Adventures In Calthumbria, Book I: King Frow Jubilay and the Crisis Involving Sea Porcupines
Frow Jubilay, King of the City of Althazar, located south of the borders of Skrellvania and north of the Nivar Fields along the western shores of Oceanus Calthumbrias, worried about the crisis involving sea-porcupines.
​
These small critters did not concern him at first. King Frow found them to be rather irritating. Furthermore, he accidentally sat down on one as a child. The measly vermin stung his noble buttocks! They existed as pests to the seafarmers too, descending on the kingdom’s coral crops like a swarm of underwater locusts. He initially thought it a blessing when the Skrells expanded their hunting season for sea-porcupines to an entire year.
​
However, as the sea-porcupines became an endangered species, King Frow realized they were crucial to the balance of this world. Already a number of Calthumbrian predators had gone extinct. Also, without any sea-porcupines to feed on the violet nectar of the Wyndlelilies, hardly any amounts of precious Wyndle pollen could make it to the surface… something the Nivar Fields could not thrive without.
​
Orsen Crom-vol, Duke of Skrellvania, refused King Frow’s proposal to ban sea-porcupine hunting amongst the Skrells, as he did not want to lose popular votes in the upcoming election. This left King Frow with a nasty decision to make: Should he go to war with the Skrells in order to save an animal he did not particularly like at all, or let the sea-porcupines die out and watch his kingdom collapse?
King Frow did not know what to do, so he decided to ask God. In order to contact God in Calthumbria, one must travel to the crystal shores of East Yfland. There, one must take an elevator up to the top floor of the Third Castle on Your Right. Whose right remains an ancient mystery. Who's right also remains an ancient mystery.
King Frow left the polis of Althazar once the Great Golden Ostrich leapt over all five moons in the cantaloupe night-sky. The King’s convoy fought off seaslugs, bandits, dragongulls, and a pack of wild womperjacks, until at last reaching the Third Castle on Your Right.
