Border Dispute

The World of Wahbert has been under constant threat from the marauding hordes of barbarians camped at the northwestern tip of its realm. Recently, children, especially newborns, have been reported missing from the realm. It is strongly suspected that the barbarians are stealing the children and brainwashing them to turn against the Queen.

The barbarians have sent an emissary to negotiate with the Queen. As the Queen does not negotiate, she is gathering her forces ready for battle. Her case has been put before the Supreme Council of Elders. In the meantime, intel has it that the barbarian emissary is secretly rallying for support from neighbouring Worlds. It is rumoured that the Queen may be forced to cede parts of her territory to the barbarians.


The Queen and I - Treason

In certain jurassic cultures, it is treason to be taller than the King. Hence, a subject is expected to kneel before the Ruler... or lie prostrate, if the Ruler is very short. In the World of Wahbert, it is death by screaming.

Today, Wahbert made the mistake of standing beside the Queen in high heels.

The Queen and I - Torture device

A faithful subject, upon returning from a perilous expedition beyond the World of Wahbert, presented the Queen with an offering - a keyring with a light. After pondering the strange object for a while, the Queen, in her infinite wisdom, summed it up to be a torture device. The Queen then visisted the prisoners' cells nearby and shone the frickin bright light in the eyes of the inmates.

The Queen and I - Chocolate

The Queen has an unstoppable appetite for chocolate. Whilst the World of Wahbert used to abound in this fine delicacy, the Queen's constant and unyielding demand has virtually depleted the entire chocolate reserves in the World of Wahbert.
