With only 127 days to go before we ring in the New Year, here is a little cautionary tale as to why firearms and alcohol don’t mix.
Come to think of it Your Mandarin has had an awful headache ever since we celebrated National Maritime Day back in May. I also notice that the Czar has mysteriously broken every mirror in the castle as if he doesn’t want me to see something.

The Mandarin, whose real name is 吏恆, joined the order in 1309, and introduced the Gormogons into England during the 18th Century.
The Mandarin enjoys spending time with his pet manticore, Βάρἰκος, or Barry (who can be found in the Bestiary). When not in the Castle…well, frankly, nobody is quite sure where he goes.
The Mandarin popularized the fine art of “gut booting,” by which he delivers a powerful kick to the stomach of anyone that annoys him. Although nearly universal today, the act of gut booting or threatening someone or something with a gut boot is solely due to him.
