What Would Fegall Do ? Mug Handles

What Would Fegall Do ? Mug Handles.

After one does Venture Out to Seek the Many Things to Aid the Making (or to Woo the Damsels who, without a Doubt, have Attracted the Vile Attention of the Amber Dragon), one does Return to the Inn or the Pub - or the Damsel's House !- to Celebrate the Having of Success.A Making that too Rightly is of Much Use in Such is the Handle of the Mug. For is it not the Mug that is Hefted to the Mouth in order to Pour the Wine or Ale that does Depend on the Handle to be Handled ? Yea verily, fellow Makers and Seekers of Fegall's Form, we must Know of the Worth of the Humble Handle of the Mug.

Whether 'tis Made from Wood, Brass, Tin or Elf Ears*, the Handle of the Mug can only Serve its Purpose if 'tis Attached Rightly to the Mug itself. Therefore, we must Think Upon how the Glue that does Attach the Mug to the Handle is Made.

High Maker Flootkruppeimer of the Guild of Glue and Marzipan in Zural Dura did, in his Recent Writings to me, Name the List of Creatures who would Serve as a Good Source of what is Needed to Fashion a Glue that even the Gnomefather would have Trouble getting off the Fingers:

1. The Mucus of the Scrag, which is Known to Keep the Feet in Place for Long Moments
2. The Exctracted Syrup from the Silk of the Phase Spider, to be Mixed Into a Cauldron of Sugar-based Molasses
3. Concentrated Ooze from the Mustards and Jellies known to Inhabit Rather Dark and Damp Places

For those Makers who do Balk at the Taking of Gatherings for the Making from Fauna, some Flora can be Sought Out if one does Seek to Fashion the Glue:

1. A Syrup that is Made from the Thrice-Diffused Ferrellian Corn
2. A Variant of Glowmoss, found in Deepest Edices of the Great Trees of Le'Or - named the Goo-moss
3. The fabled Yarrow of Jechran, known only to Grow where an Unpaired Jechran Male has Slept during the Full Moon**

With these Gatherings in Hand, your Handle will ne'er be Parted from your Mug, oh Makers ! Be Filled with the Joy that your Making will Cause when Tired Travellers can Clasp at it with Thirsty Eyes and Hungry Mouths.

Until our next Sharing of Thoughts, may the All Maker do give you the Wit to Make !

*Apologies of Humbleness to any Nanshilae who do Read - but is the Making not Beyond any Squirmishness ? This Recorded Instance of Ear-Handled Mugs did Arise from a Rumor of a Ganoom Maker who had Gone to the Goblins of Deep M'Chek to Learn of their Makings. To this Day, it is a Much Debated Manner in the Halls of the Guild of Glue and Marzipan.

**This is a Most Rare of Flora, and only the High Gluemaker himself has Seen Such. Anyone who does Find a Single Male in Yechran must Hie him to a Forest Clearing and bid him Snooze under the Moon! The Guild will pay good Gold for the Results of this Experiment.
