HEADLINE NEWS: Strange Weathervane Atop Evil Pyramid Baffles Scholars
A questing party of adventurers who have discovered what purports to be the final resting place of the Dark Lord Cet Ude D'ua Khan, encountered a completely unexpected artifact at the apex of the pyramid; the gyrating, cooing, pirouetting form of a gwyll that appears to be a weathervane of sorts. Simpering like a kewpie-doll from the Netherworlds, the disgustingly cute figurine spins and twirls with the wind, while spouting a barrage of verbage ranging from "Oooh, new plaything!" to "I'll take what I want, When I want", to "Stand right there!" to "This'll be fun!", identically to the real gwylls and nymphs that infest this fair land of ours.
Scholars are perplexed as to why such an object would be atop such a solemn and terrible place such as the pyramid tomb of the evil pharaoh. One of the adventurers, Sylvia, was quoted as saying, "It's just the sort of thing one would expect an Evil Overlord of questionable taste to decorate his habitation with. We've seen some horrible things around the pyramid so far, but this one . . . ugh! Be afraid . . . be very afraid."
News of the strange object has spread like wildfire through the Gael Serran, and in Brimloch Roon, new cults are springing up in which young girls dress topless, prance like kewpie dolls, and say annoyingly cute things to passersby in the street. Even the mainstream religions are not immune from this new fashion trend. Father Malakai of the Church of Brimloch Roon was so charmed by the adorable figurine that he has ordered one made special for the church and plans to put it atop the steeple as another weathervane. Duke Brinsley has ordered him to cease and desist in the name of good taste and for preserving the historical beauty of Brimloch Roon, but so far, the priest has been adamant in his redecorating plans.
