Kalessin, Wombat News
A group of Kalessini nobles led by Baron Angree al Grumpee have written an open letter to the Kalessini Emperor asking him to have Orm Embar reviewed for feng shui compliance. (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2749968&highlight=#2749968)
"People think feng shui is just a silly fad, but it is about the very fundamentals of energy flow.* It is the culmination of thousands of years of human study.* The principals should not be ignored," explained the Baron.
Feng shui - from the Chinese for wind and water - deals with the design of a structure and the placement of objects within it to allow for a proper flow of energy.* Its practitioners vary greatly in their opinions of what is good and what is bad, but it is generally accepted that the galactic north-west area should be kept free of sharp objects, flowers, and broken items.
Not all of Kalessin’s nobility agree with the letter.* "I've seen these guys work," said Baron Synic al B’stard.* "They walk around with their charts and their compasses, mumbling about dragons and energy and what not.* A bunch of bollocks is what it is.* And I’ve got news for them.* Their compasses won't work on Orm Embar."
"Feng shui is a highly misunderstood concept," said feng shui expert and master Swind al Fleece.* "Its principles have been in use for 3,000 years.* No, of course literal dragons are not tearing through your house – we don’t believe in dragons, that would be just crazy!* And no bad energies are really going to disrupt life, such as it is, on Orm Embar.* But these principles are time-honoured, solid, and provide for a living space that it is well balanced for all involved."
The Emperor has not responded to the letter.* His spokesman did, however, issue a statement saying only that he was “pleased to help govern a state as diverse as Kalessin, where many opinions can be brought to the fore and discussed.* He may not agree with them all, but he supports their discussion."
In other news tonight, there has been a rash of disappearances amongst the Kalessini nobility.* Some sources close to the disappearances are blaming them on so-called dragons, but other, more reliable, sources have informed Wombat News that the nobles concerned have simply all gone on extended holidays.
