Ep1: The Flight of the Butternut Babies
Manage episode 388273962 series 3535201
Welcome to Beryl's, Moonkarta's most popular cafe.
Here, we meet The Librarian who introduces us to Splott, Jansey Bebop and a host of Moonkarta's residents. We join the gang at the end of Summer, as the wheel turns to usher in a new season. The town is preparing for the annual Flight of the Butternut Babies, who live in the Forbidden Forest with the shy and elusive Moonbears. Every year, vast crowds line the ports, the docks and the boardwalks to watch as the Butternut Babies take flight.
While the festival attracts thousands to Moonkarta, The Mayor is hosting two very important guests; Mayor Thrake and Lord Bulag, who are in town to persuade The Mayor to let them excavate the Forbidden Forest.
In his attempts to impress his VIPs, The Mayor employs rogue, Splott. Known for his expert sea-faring abilities, Splott agrees to hire a boat and put on some entertainment for The Mayor's guests so they can enjoy the end of summer festival with the best view in town.
In exchange for a handsome payment and with help from poet Jansey Bebop and the Sassy Lighthouse Keeper, Splott does the very least he can to help.
Elsewhere, new Astronomers are arriving at the dock from the ancient land of Staxis. They are there to protect Moonkarta, and to watch the skies from the Western Forest Observatory. Things are changing, and this time the old Astronomer, named Touv, has his warrior-daughter Gorel with him for protection.
