THE LEAGUE OF THE HILLS

The Hill Tribes of the Barbaru Coast have developed a postal union which implements mail deliveries between the tribal regions. The general government of the League of the Hills serves as a unifying force for the interests of the common good.

Vemir Qar Neemsiej, from the Zukka region, is the president of the League. He officiates fro Wuk Town in the far north of Zukka.

Thuttaquog Dapreematok is General of the Army of the League of the Hills, a force that protects the land from incursions from the pirates of the Barbaru Coast, and from the giants of Gwogtonia in the north. The mermaid folk of Merreminde usually are not hostile and a profitable trade exists between the Hill Tribes and East and West Merreminde. Oysters are traded for bark paper made from the birches of the intertribal mountain region. And sea shells are a popular item in the inland regions; these are usually traded for honey and butter made from mountain goats' milk.

Montu Gargantui in the north is a tribal region with a fierce and noble history, mostly relating to the wars with the giants.

The City of the Moon is a curious region, filled with eccentric people who claim to be from the Moon. This is a somewhat new political entity within the League of the Hills, as the Loonese are said to have supplanted the ephemeral fairy folk of the area, who were never known to have established any regular sort of government, preferring rather the indulgence in pollen parties, and bouts of drunkeness resulting from the imbibing of Gluuki Wine.

Kwata Paak in the far south is a matriarchal society where the Goddess is foremost. The Paakis are mostly elfin folk, known for their intriguing epics and poetry festivals.

LOCAL POSTS OF THE INTERTRIBAL FOLK

Most of the stamps in this section are for very limited use in the regions designated on the stamps. Theses examples include a 50 zsudu stamp from the Zukka Republic, A 30 grums stamp from Montu Gargantui, and a 30 asteri stamp used in the City of the Moon.

These were provisional posts used for a short time in the League of the Hills, when mutant Potato Bugs stripped the birch trees seeking to utilize the bark for the manufacture of bug armor for their war with the Natty Flies. This resulted in a birch bark paper shortage. These stamps were printed on kelp fiber paper procured from West Merreminde, and are known for their rather fishy odor, making them especially appealing to aquatic philatelists in the archipelagos of the Outer Worlds.
