X is for Xenophobia

While Paisley does not have true Xenophobia, she does dislike the ogres, and other troublemakers who choose to live in the forbidden woods. She knows if she stays out of the forbidden woods she has less of a chance at dealing with them but sometimes temptation gets the best of her.

She also does not like the peasants who live outside the castle walls who do nothing all day but sit and drink the mead. Paisley would rather see all the peasants working together for the greater good. She does reward the peasants who follow her creed in hopes that the lazy ones will seek her good favor. 

G is for Goblins

Goblins live in a distant part of Paisley’s kingdom but they venture into the small peasant towns surrounding the castles. They scare people and pillage whatever they wish, whenever they want. They are as thick as thieves are and better avoided if possible. Sometimes you cannot avoid them, as some of these goblins are shape shifters so they can become anything they wish.

Goblins and the Ogres both do their share of shape shifting and it never turns out good. Over the years as they have ‘mingled’ with humans, dragons, mice and every other creature in the realm, strange new breeds have been born. Some of these new types of creatures have the looks of one species but the personality of the other.

Max who is a friend of Paisley and Kia is one of these new types of creatures. His heritage includes an ogre and a mouse. He gets his looks from the mouse heritage but his temper, when it is out of control is very much the temper of an Ogre.
