So things are going strong with Kymaerica--we expect 15 new plaques in the early part of the year, but this blog got a little unwieldy from the technical perspective (we are using pretty old code--not the fault of the webmaster, just growing pains).  So we have been adding content to the project, but not through the blog.  That will change soon: pretty soon we are flipping to a new blogging software and adding a lot more resources.

The Urushiol were, of course, famous for their ritual scarification with the oils from posion oak and other such plants.  Theit wedding rituals were quite daunting as well--always centered around a Hot Springs

Above we see a texture flag on display at a recent show in Sharaara Tlar, in Linear London.  Here's a link to Flickr set of 16 Texture Flags belonging to the Fraternitee--all on display at the Embassy Row Historical Site in Aedguerre.



Texture Flags were key to the identity of any gwome.  In our linear world (as in the images above and below), we are basically experiencing representations of Texture Flags on an visual level, but they also had a quality to them that often extend to being a physicality that could ripple in the wind.



There are even accounts of people parched in the desert who gleaned moisture from Texture Flag that turned to be a roiling river--of course there are plenty of people who tragically died cowering behind a texture of stone.  And some who felt that the most powerful ones were the most impenetrably intact.



Much to learn on this score.

The book signing at the Strand Bookstore was a great success.  Alot of friends of Kymaerica came and learned I think a few new things.  We were but a few blocks from the Sale of Manhattan Plaque--which was nice.  Some people went over and visited after.

But most of all we began to explore the flavors of Kymaerica by tasting the remarkable Kymaerican Tribute Brownies, baked in this universe by the remarkable Mari.

Very popular.  A special edition for the event.

Thanks to all that came.  More on the history of the brownies soon.

After the dedication of the Nayumbo's Wall plaque, we had a little party.  Veterans of the Sale of Manhattan dedication and the Battle of Marathon plaque were there.

At the Workshop for Explorers on Monday night, we sifted through some amazing images originally in one of the archives in the Monastery District of Tonopah (in another part of Rhyoleind).  Most came from notebooks and diaries of the era.

Above is a representation of Federica the Unifier's approach to Rhyolite.  Note the idealization of Federica, who preferred to be depicted in one of two ways--this almost domestic maternal figure for kNevada--or as fierce warrior.  She was a master of the propaganda of governance, which is why the thwarting of her goals of unification by the Rhyoleinders frustrated her so much.

Below, an image of the raft of rhyolyaseh used to hide the rhyoleir from Federica's troops--though most scholars believe the actual raft was much bigger.

]]> plaque on Old Compton Street.]]> Kymaerican bus tour through London was Sebastian Mary, and she has written a thoughtful report of the experience.  Enjoy.]]> Exshire, entitled "Lands of Exiles," gives a fascinating glimpse of a phenomenon that that occurred independently in many different rezhns of the Kymaerican globe.

Many gwomes have, through ease of temporal access, found themselves locked in nearly constant battle with their neighbors.  Relatively evenly matched, the casualties mount and mount.  So, in the case of the gwomes between what is now the Thames (then the Aoselkan Channel) and the Wheel of Faith (the essentially pie shaped gwomes, all theocracies, centered near linear Leeds), a truce was declared (by agreement, different gwomes take credit on different years for suggesting it) and solutions discussed.

What they concluded was that a form of high-powered tranquilizer should be used in battle, so that soldiers would not be killed.  However, if you experienced that incapacitation, you were dead to your people.  Any attempt to reconnect, even eye contact or a wave, would lead to instant death and the slaughter of your whole family.  Instead, you were exiled to a gwome that did not border your former home (and there were complicated rules and negotiations for this) with nothing but what you had on you.  Collectively, these agreements are known as the Wardington Rules of War.

This one can be found near the Kennington Tube Stop, not far from <a href="http://www.manandeve.co.uk/">Man&Eve Gallery</a> where the Kymaerica show is.

Next was this one on Old Compton Street, showing the high water mark of the Great Dangaroo Flood:



Last we installed a plaque that captured a key moment in the political history of Rockall--the observation of the prince of Rockall at the scene of the crime in Angel Alley--not far from Whitechapel Art Gallery.  It was here that Esther Tabran witnessed someone fleeing from the scene of the death of her sister Martha Tabran.

Welcome, Oregonians.
This was the scene a couple of weeks ago in Irvington as we prepared to dedicate the Velkristani Nirvana plaque.

It is one of 22 plaques (one more has been dedicated since then).  We are always posting new content about the universe called Kymaerica and we hope you'll visit the plaque as well some of the historical sites (so far, just two: in Joshua Tree and Paris, Illinois).

Let me explain some terms in the article:
a gwome is a cognate term meaning "footprint of the nation"

Velkristan is a gwome in aOregon

The Jihn Wranglikans were a sect that lived in the gwome of Notgeon in what we call linear California.

Their language was a bit unusual--to our ears.

The Grid attempted to seize control of Velkristan, but was defeated.

We hope you continue to explore the world of Kymaerica.

Well, the 22nd Kymaerican plaque has been installed. (Look Close: It is right there on the corner, in the center of the picture--we get even closer below)

It was a quiet ceremony.  It may be that it was just a busy day or that few were willing to acknowledge that once Braethrens had had a thriving monastery district--where collections of wisdom and biodiversity from all over  sGeorgia and Oceanic Georgia and even into the sTortuga District.

But here is the plaque, and I have a feeling the local community will soon reconnect with the wonder of their Kymaerican heritage.  We are quite lucky something survives from that era.  Thought it was a low monastery, it had symbolic value and its order was always treated with great respect.

This is the first fragment of a monastery district we have been able to honor in the Kymaerica project--which is a milestone in itself.  More on monastery districts in the future.  For now, enjoy:

I have posted on this topic before, but one of the key things to understand about the Tehachapi is that their famous neutrality resulted from their disastrous alliance with the armies that were defeated in the wide ranging battles in the Red Center of Estrellia.

Incredibly, during the fighting, the rock itself (depicted here) prevented any soldiers from climbing it.  The decisive fight was much further north at the Devil's Marbles.

Great event Tuesday night, honoring the location of the Velkristani Nirvana.  Special thanks to our Kymaerican hosts Bruce, Brenda and Emma for great drinks and grub.  It was an excellent turnout with Kymaerican vets as well as people new to this exploration.

This was a kind of special paradise which was a rare source of almost hypnotic unity between the dueling Velkristani factions--the Willhamenta and the Stanklyk, whose origins seem to be in the two rivers, the Willamette and Columbia, that merge in this gwome.



In Kymaerican times, the rivers merged and then disappeared, allowing the sea to flood in.  Some of the Velkristanis believe that the vanishing river is so densely concentrated that it emerges as the springs of sweetness and light that are honored on this site, visible only to the pure of heart.

Here are some more shots of the site:

Hope we will see you there.  It is the first Kymaerican plaque in aOregon.

In VeCnen and surrounding gwomes, there is a tradition that along with the Delicated Purple Martin, there is a dark force which is essentially a super dense nocturnal bird-like creature that crushes what ever it touches.

For this reason when they build birdhouses for the Delicated Purple Martin, they build them very, very strong.  The practice persists as you can see where the Siren tornado wrapped this rowboat around the pole supporting Purple Martin House.  Not far from the Storyteller Flats plaque.
