The Castle of Uhygga
The
people in the castle of Uhygga had been looked down upon by the citizens of
Krater (Uhygga´s gonk-town) for as long as they could remember. They all
knew the reason all too well: The grand priest of Uhygga, Fetish, had in his
earlier days been known to be quite careless when it came to the hygiene of
his fester (a serious matter in those days), and for this he was never fully
accepted in the "Circle of lepturs”. (A leptur was a person who had
deserved, or failed in deserving the Espen Cross of the kingdom of Uhygga.
Since "leptur" can mean both "he who made it" and "he who made a complete
fool of himself" all the members of the Circle were simply referred to as "lepturs".
Today’s correct spelling of the title is "lepturre". Fetish was one of the
ones who had, with no difficulties, deserved the Espen Cross, and this made
things only worse, since one of the hardest challenges in the quest for the
Espen Cross is, as you probably have guessed, FESTER HYGIENE!) The
surrounding lepturs wanted to charge Fetish for his Espen Cross, something
Fetish strongly opposed to. "Oh, what a terrible dream!", Fetish thought
when he woke up. "It was all so real!" He put his hand into his pocket. The
Espen Cross was gone... |
