Forbidden right-wing event in the castle of Bärwalde/Bjerwałd

This Saturday, the 16th September 2023, the small village of Bärwalde/Bjerwałd is full of police cars - the reason: an unapproved open "family event" that is supposed to take place this Saturday. The organizers are the "Königreich Deutschland" (kingdom of Germany), who are a sub group of "Reichsbürger" (people of the empire), and are living in the castle since around spring 2022. They apparently don't care about the German Constitution on their ground, they say, and their leader, Peter Fitzek, is well known to the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. They want to establish a new kingdom with their own - or old - laws.

Despite the prohibition for the unapproved festival, this commune with well known fascist ties wants to use the "family event" to recruit young families with children into their ideology. Planned is a panel discussion, held by Nikolai Nerling - antisemite, right extremist, Holocaust denier, and convicted of Volksverhetzung (incitement to hatred.)

The people of Bärwalde/Bjerwałd are unsure about the event, a lot are not against it, yet the village is filled with posters against it. On the same day, the local government is having a counter-event, so the local people can get to talk with them.

I know Percy's desperately trying to escape the godly world but not only do I think the gods aren't going to leave percy alone once he's in New Rome, I also think Percy's in the situation now where he can't refuse at all because like, if he was in the mortal world at a mortal college he at least would be able to try and be like "sorry I can't do a quest right now I've already used up my three excused absences this semester try again in the spring :/" but in New Rome? They will be like "Percy! It is an honor to be hand-selected for a quest. And by the gods no less! Stars above, you should be grateful! I don't know what your little greek camp has taught you but here in Rome, we respect the gods' requests. Your absence will be excused. Now go."

Hear ye!

In an interview hosted by Comic Book Club at NYCC 2024, we finally have our first gleanings of Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite Of Spring from Patrick Horvath himself! Interview transcript's over here if you'd prefer to read.

Here's all we know so far:

Timeskip to 1994: Rite Of Spring takes place eight years after the events of Book 1. We'll be catching up to speed with the survivors and the whole town years after the murders. We're also going to feel the effect of those 8 years. From land redevelopment to the advent of the internet.

2. Reassessing, again (and probably just regressing): More backstory, more key players, more damage. More of the same, maybe? Don't get your hopes too high for changes.

3. Transitionary Period: The thematic thread for Book 2! I'll be discussing how Nature is a key character in Beneath The Trees and the allegorical implications such changes have and may have in Book 2. One more major theme though...

4. Sacrifice: Rite Of Spring as a title holds TONS of implications but it's based on Stravinsky's ballet, The Rite Of Spring. This is also meant as a direct contrast to Autumn in Part 1 as Life transitions from Death and Bears come out of hibernation.

5. We're still getting 6 Issues but they'll be double the fun size! So hooray to more time to flesh out the world especially with these changes!

No dates or key art is out yet but the logo. Keep your eyes peeled and doors locked, everyone!

Wußwerk/Wózwjerch doesn't belong to the sorbian settlement area anymore - on paper

Old postcard of the Kannomühle in Alt Zauche-Wußwerk

Lately, the administrative tribunal of the region of Cottbus/ Chóśebuz decided that Wußwerk/Wózwjerch won't belong to the sorbian settlement area anymore. The representatives of the village community apparently have sued the state in advance, to take down the sorbian designation.

To be part of the area, a village has to take part in sorbian costums and traditions, and while holding the title of a sorbian village, all the street signs must be bilingual, as one example.

Wußwerk/Wózwjerch will be a white spot on the map from now on - despite some sorbian inhabitants and its geographic location in the spree forest/Błota. Many costums were forbidden under the Nazi regime and weren't picked up again during the GDR, so who's to say what's sorbian and what's not nowadays? Well, on paper, claiming the village of Wußwerk /Wózwjerch as sorbian, would he illegal.

It is feared that this action will have the consequence of more villages declining their sorbian heritage. A bunch of villages have already submitted their application.

After some relatively stable decades, the sorbian area will continue to decrease again.
