The Mystic Night Above Urissakzillia
NOTES ON FAIRY POLITICS IN ERONYK

During the era of reform in Urissakzillia, it was determined by
the Muse of the Wilds that the establishment of a postal service
would help stablize the land.

Stamps with their regular perforations were sought out by the
Fairy Parliament as a measure to help focus the populace of the
continent of Eronyk who had heretofore never had the comfort
of stamps and the grounding symbolism of gum and paper.


THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF URY

Thus the stamps you see here depict the fairy Ury, whose 
efforts in the faux communications networks of Urissakzillia
have won her enduring fame as an innovator.

and postal developments in Urissakzillia.
