Badger's Hole

[Badger]

We are a secret community of Dukes that the King has ordered to watch over his kingdom while he is absent. Our main station is called "Badger's Hole", and the forum that you are reading is part of it. No, we are not literally, 'underground', as some of you might have fantasized. Rather, we simply chose that because it sounded good.

Before the King left with 'our' army, he gave us a few instructions. You will find these posted in various parts of The Hole.

Here is one of them:

Vickvire? Art thou reading carefully? I hope thou art, because my next words are of the utmost importance. While I am gone, there are bound to be several threats from the ~Stick~ Commandos and their villainous leader, Border Ickity-Ick. Since I left you with no one to guard the castle, thou wilt have to raise thy own army. Yes, yes, I know they are just a rabble of peons and peasants, but do try hard. I hear that posting often and being respectful increases their rank and gives them admin powers. Did you hear this too, Vickvire?

I must go soon. My captains, Sir Tweezer and his servant, vmj, are surely searching for me. Expect me back (here the page is wet and unreadable.)

Please tell Princess Sally E. Mdragon that she must not (more smudges) and don't (un-readable) I trust you will do this. Make sure Hearo doesn't flirt too much with her. Make Bloblin shine my armor every day!

I remain thou's truly,

- The King

But don't stay too long, peasant; you have the fields to tend to!
