Except from Historical Figures of Pelaria:

King Pepetus was the eighth king of the age. He was the first king chosen from outside the Six Clans. His coronation marked the end of the Little Fur Secession and Rebellion, which was sparked by Pepetus himself.

Amongst Pepetus’ most lasting contributions to Pelarian society was his decision to move governing power from the paws of the king to the Committee of Six. Prior to his coronation and throughout his reign as king, he was an activist for equality amongst furs big and small. For this reason, he is still revered as one of the greatest kings in Pelarian history even though most of the decisions and rulings that are associated with the later part of his reign were in fact made by the Committe of Six.

Carja’s Notes:

Pepetus’ story was basically written on a dare. After sharing some of my ideas for Age of Animus with a friend from work, I was challenged to write a story about her cat, Pepe, king of cats. She also suggested the name Pepetus to fit the setting better. It had been some time since I’d written any stories for Age of Animus, so I accepted the challenge and wrote the story of how Pepetus became king.

Happy New Year From Age of Animus!

Happy 2012 everyone!

2011 was a great year creatively for me. After a long gestating period, Age of Animus finally became a reality, though not in the form I had originally conceived (a board game). I can only hope that the project will grow as 2012 grows and someday beyond that I’ll get to that big board game I dreamed of. For 2012 I’ll settle for the card game I’m working on.

I usually don’t do much for New Year’s, but this year, I got invited to spend the evening with Fab’s in-laws. It was a different experience, with much joyous singing and celebration. Our family would get together, but beyond the great food, we’d just sit around and talk and play games organized by my grandfather (that’s where I get it from!) I didn’t feel completely comfortable as these were people I don’t know all that well (Fab’s in-laws, not my family) but I had a good time and I appreciate being included.

So that was New Year’s Eve. On New Year’s Day, I was again invited, to Fab’s this time, for a supper with him, his mom, his fiance, and our friend Frank. The food was again delicious, and we had fun playing Karaoke Revolution and Rummoli until about 1am (since I didn’t have to go in to work today!)

Now my holiday vacation is winding down (I go back to work on Wednesday) so I don’t expect to be going out much, just relaxing and trying to get back to a sane sleep schedule (I woke up past noon today).

So again, Happy New Year to all you Age of Animus readers out there! Thank you for your support and hope to see you all throughout 2012!
