A RARE COVER FROM THE DIGBY BROTHERS COLONIAL PERIOD

When the Digby Brothers sailed out of Binkel County in Western Amphora, they spead their colonial empire wherever they landed. Ned Digby had a special daily talk show on radio. His program was used to spread propaganda for their pirate empire. Later when Digbyland was defeated by the Red Sea Dragons of West Merreminde, the folk of Cybrea were free to leave their forced labor in the poison oak plantations set up by the Digby Brothers. The poison oak was used to spike the main product of their homebrew industry. LOL

See the links at the bottom of this post to learn more about the Digby Brothers.

THE STORY OF HERMONIUM FARK


Cybrea has a long, long history, stemming back into the Dark Agres. Hermonium Fark was an enlightened Alchemist of the 19th century, whose treatises on organic plant mixtures stimulated much interest among the Cybreans, who are a people with much interest in science of all forms. Fark was a modern Paracelsus, (Paracelsus was a progressive Renaissance alchemist, who threw out the Four Elements, and established reason in Alchemy.) Paracelcus lead alchemists away from the archaic overemphasis on mineral and metallic metaphors. Darlock Tunni ,who had been a life long resident of the Grorp Mountain Inn in Orbu, was a champion of Fark's ideas and who set up a special museum of the Magnum Opus in Tetragrammatoon. Tunni was a mayor of Orbu for many years; thus his image appears on the Orbu cancel.


 Fark was especially interested in Paracelsus' theories of the Sylph. He attempted to chemically recreate the substratum of the Sylph, but was not entirely successful, having coagulated the effluvium of the homonunculi in regression. This was regarded nevertheless as an excellent step for determining the master calcination of the Soror Mystica.
