Meli means "dew" and she loves water. Being born in a month that is the same as her name and her favorite thing is extremely lucky. Meli will probably have a big party as she is the Skipperian princess. Normally the party would include oly her family. There will be Rain Dances (running around in the rain -- only in June-July), games, eating of many mi cakes, and the exchanging of homemade trinkets (each person or family makes one according to their specialty).

The large city of Bene (pop. 120) has had a large number of residents leave the hustle and bustle of the big city and form a smaller village called Tini. Queen Dazi has agreed to cap the population of Tini at 26 persons.

The Mothian currency will have a new look this fall. Queen Zada commented that "it hasn't been changed in 30 years and I thought it was time for a different look." No word yet on the design, but the top Mothian artists are diligently coming up with designs.

The new Butterflyian village ofTini has decreased the space the Roze have by about a mile. Many Roze have complained to the queens of the three islands who are considering forming an area strictly for Roze to prevent further encroachment. Another plan calls for the former Veye settlements to become Roze land as well. Our sources say that Roze are greatly in favor of that althouh they will have much ork to go to make the land livable once more.
