FROON
Legends of this magical kingdom date back before the reign of Entharion
the Wise (0-41 GUE). Lullabies sing of places such as Froon. Said to
lie somewhere beyond the clouds, it was a place of swooping songbirds,
dainty cottages, sun-dappled streets lined by a rainbow of flowers,
with the air filled with gentle fragrances. In fact, the exceptionally
beautiful flowers are a race of tiny people, standing no taller than
two feet.
Froon was the setting for a series of beloved children's books by L.
Frank Fzort, and later became a successful movie musical starring Judy
Garlic, entitled "The Wizard of Froon." It is believed that the Wizard
is most likely an authentic historical figure in the land of Froon.
In the year 966 a humble peasant-turned-adventurer discovered that
there is truth behind the Froon legend. This adventurer had the odd
experience of being transporte by a tornado from the Fields of Frotzen
in a tiny farmhouse to Froon (which is the only known method of
reaching it short of AIMFIZ). Quite by accident the adventurer won the
gratitude of the natives by killing the Heeled One, a boot who had
tormented the people of Froon for over 300 years. For accomplishing
this feet, Grope, Mayor of the City of Froon, offered the adventurer
one of three of the keys to the Kingdom of Froon (lavender, puce, or
mauve). These phony keys are actually cheap pieces of styrofoam, cut
into the shape of a giant key, spray painted and sprinkled with bits of
glitter with the words "City of Froon" scrawled in crayon across the
front. These sparse details are all that is known of this strange,
hidden land.

Froon.
