Exploring Zoltán Kodály's Dances of Galánta

Zoltán Kodály collaborated with Béla Bartók to promote Magyar folk music. His work “Dances of Galánta” celebrates folk traditions, particularly verbunkos style, which contrasts slow and lyrical sections with lively rhythms. This orchestral piece intricately mixes distinct dance themes, showcasing virtuosic instrumentation and cultural pride. Ethnomusicology Zoltán Kodály (1882-1967) was a…

The Necromancer in the Warrens - Arlo Starborn

Arlo was born with no mother and no father.

Born in the Temple of Saint Pheles, by the darkness of a Solar Eclipse, Arlo and his twin, Apollo, born by the first rays of Sunlight after the Eclipse, were taken in by the Sisters of Saint Pheles and raised by the High Priest of the Ainlienist High Order.

Arlo and Apollo from a very early age were indocrinated in the ways of the Church, how they had been born to bring about the will of the maker and the cleasing of the world, as prophetised Starborn children.

As a young boy, Arlo was just like his brother, eager, malleable, and obedient. The perfect servant of the Ainlienist Cult. But, one day, while alone, Arlo met a particular priest in the order of Saint Pheles, that changed his mind forever.

One day, Apollo told on the priest. Arlo was just ten and stood in the Trial Hall while the priest was trialed as a heretic. Then Apollo accused Arlo of listening to the priest and for him to depose against the priest. To everyone's surprise, Arlo did not. He defended the priest and accused the Church of being animals, of doing nothing but hurt the people of that land.

How were they praying for peace and salvation, with fire and blood?

The priest was nonetheless executed and Arlo was taken for indocrination. It was during that time that Arlo awakened an Eye to the very light of a spirit. Arlo saw with his eye the broken and sullen spirits of the children and the spirit of the priest. So he healed the spirits of the children and he brought back his priest.

Seeing this, in fear Apollo called upon the guards calling Arlo a monster. He attacked his own brother and tried to blind the evil Eye in his forehead, but he failed, and only achieved to stab Arlo in the right eye before the thrall of the priest intervened. Arlo used his powers to break the walls of the Church and ran off.

Wounded and lost Arlo was luckily found by the most reluctant Inquisitor on the land, who turned a blind eye and allowed Arlo to hide in his shed. When his wife Dala found Arlo, she took pitty on the boy and helped him hide from the Ainlienists and from Apollo.

As the woman and her daughter would take care of Arlo, he took a caring for them, seeing the girl as a little sister and Dala as a surrogate mother, even if she was pious.

Arlo would grow in constant run from his brother who did not stop at nothing to catch him with intent to blind the third Eye or kill his brother trying. Because of that, Arlo had to live in the Warrens of Galanta, where his powers would grow esponentionally both as healer but also as a necromancer. However, due to the abuse he suffered growing up, as no child should be left alone in the Warrens, Arlo has grown to be distrustful and nihilistic.

As an adult, he eventually set shop in the warrens, where, he could heal even a dead spirit, as long as you were willing to pay the price to the law of spirits.

People of the Philippines vs. Antonio Z. Oanis and Alberto Galanta G.R. No. 47722, July 27, 1943

FACTS:

On December 24, 1938, Captain Godofredo Monsod, the Constabulary Provincial Inspector in Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija, received a telegram from Major Guido to get Anselmo Balagtas, an escaped convict, "dead or alive".

Chief of Police Antonio Z. Oanis and Corporal Alberto Galanta were instructed to arrest Balagtas, and if overpowered, to follow the telegram's instruction. They were shown a copy of the telegram and a newspaper clipping containing a picture of Balagtas.

Oanis and Galanta, along with a private, went to the house where Irene, a bailarina, was supposedly living, as Balagtas was rumored to be with her.

Upon arriving at Irene's house, Oanis asked Brigida Mallare about Irene's room and the whereabouts of Balagtas. Mallare stated that Balagtas was sleeping in Irene's room.

Oanis and Galanta proceeded to the room and, upon seeing a man sleeping with his back towards the door, they simultaneously or successively fired at him with their .32 and .45 caliber revolvers, without making any reasonable inquiry as to his identity.

The man they shot was not Balagtas, but Serapio Tecson, Irene's paramour. Tecson died due to multiple gunshot wounds.

Oanis and Galanta were initially charged with murder but were convicted of homicide through reckless imprudence by the lower court.

ISSUES:

Are Oanis and Galanta criminally liable for the death of Serapio Tecson?

Did Oanis and Galanta act with an innocent mistake of fact in the honest performance of their duties?

Is the crime committed murder, or is it merely homicide through reckless imprudence?

Should the mitigating circumstance of incomplete fulfillment of duty be applied in this case?

What is the proper penalty?

RULING:

Answer: The Supreme Court found Oanis and Galanta guilty of murder, with the mitigating circumstance of an incomplete justifying circumstance, and modified the penalty accordingly.

Legal Basis:

Murder: The killing of a person while asleep qualifies as murder due to the presence of alevosia (treachery).

Innocent Mistake of Fact: The maxim ignorantia facti excusat (ignorance of fact excuses) applies only when the mistake is committed without fault or carelessness.

Force in Arrest: While an officer is justified in using necessary force during an arrest, they are not justified in using unnecessary force or resorting to dangerous means when the arrest could be effected otherwise.

Criminal Negligence: Criminal negligence requires an unintentional injury, an incident of another act performed without malice. A deliberate intent to do an unlawful act is inconsistent with reckless imprudence.

Incomplete Justifying Circumstance: According to Article 11, No. 5 of the Revised Penal Code, a person incurs no criminal liability when they act in the fulfillment of a duty or in the lawful exercise of a right or office. There are two requirements: (a) that the offender acted in the performance of a duty or in the lawful exercise of a right; and (b) that the injury or offense committed be the necessary consequence of the due performance of such duty or the lawful exercise of such right or office.

When only the first requisite is present, the circumstance is considered incomplete and mitigates the penalty.

Article 69 of the Revised Penal Code: When a crime is not wholly excusable due to the lack of some conditions required to justify it, the penalty shall be lowered by one or two degrees.

Application:

The court rejected the defense of innocent mistake of fact because Oanis and Galanta had ample time and opportunity to ascertain the identity of the person in the room, without any danger to themselves. They did not make any reasonable inquiry.

The court found that the killing was not merely criminal negligence because the act of shooting was intentional, not accidental.

The court established that the qualifying circumstance of alevosia (treachery) was present because Tecson was killed while asleep.

The court found that the first requisite of the justifying circumstance of fulfillment of duty was present, as Oanis and Galanta were acting in the performance of their duty. However, the second requisite was not present because killing Tecson was not a necessary consequence of their duty to arrest Balagtas. They were instructed to arrest Balagtas, not to kill him outright.

The incomplete justifying circumstance under Article 11, No. 5, was considered a mitigating circumstance, thus the penalty was lowered by one degree.

The court sentenced the appellants to reclusion temporal, with the accessories of the law, and to pay the heirs of the deceased an indemnity of P2,000.

Conclusion: The Supreme Court modified the lower court's ruling, finding Oanis and Galanta guilty of murder, with a mitigating circumstance, and adjusted the penalty accordingly.

DOCTRINE OF THE CASE:

Mistake of Fact: The defense of mistake of fact is not available when the accused acted with fault or carelessness.

Use of Force: Peace officers are not justified in using unnecessary force or resorting to dangerous means when an arrest could be effected otherwise.

Intentional Killing: A deliberate intent to do an unlawful act is inconsistent with reckless imprudence; a mistake in identity does not excuse an intentional killing.

Qualifying Circumstance: Killing a person while asleep constitutes treachery and qualifies the crime as murder.

Incomplete Justifying Circumstance: When an accused acts in the performance of a duty, but not all the requisites to justify their action are present, a mitigating circumstance may be invoked to lower the penalty.

RATIO OF THE CASE:

The Court emphasized that the mistake of fact defense requires an absence of fault or negligence, which was not present in this case because the officers had time to ascertain the victim's identity before using deadly force.

The ruling highlights the importance of following proper procedure in law enforcement, specifically the need to use only reasonably necessary force and to avoid unnecessary violence.

The decision clarifies that a deliberate intent to commit an unlawful act negates the possibility of claiming reckless imprudence. The act of shooting at the victim was deliberate and not an accident.

The Court determined that although the officers were performing a duty, their actions went beyond the scope of their instructions, as they were not authorized to kill Balagtas outright.

The Court's application of the incomplete justifying circumstance under Article 11, No. 5 and the penalty reduction under Article 69 of the Revised Penal Code demonstrates a balance between recognizing the officers' duty and holding them accountable for their actions.

The court also distinguishes this case from cases cited by the defense, namely US v. Ah Chong, where the accused acted without fault, and US vs. Donoso, where the defendants killed the victim after he had already surrendered.

Syracusia of Galeria

One of the Virginal Maidens of Saint Pheles, also known as the Sisters of Saint Pheles.

Syra is the only daughter of Lady Dala of Galeria. When she was born, Dala was just a regular housewife, married to an important, but rather lazy Inquisitor living in the city of Galanta.

Syra during her childhood met Arlo, who she'd often meet when her mother went to give the boy food. Despite him being a teenager and Syra just a child, she took an instant liking to him and often said he was the big brother she never had. She often asked her mother why they couldn't take him home, to which Dala would say "he's an heretic" and that despite that, she was against hurting a child, even an heretic one. Syra was confused by that, as her father's job was to hunt heretics.

When it was found out they were harboring an heretic, Dala's father took the entire blame and was executed for heresy and treason. Syra never forgave her mother for standing iddly when the Ainlienists took both her father and attacked Arlo's home (who eventually escaped their grasp). She'd come to resent her mother even more after Dala dutifully took upon the role of Inquisitor for the Church to make up for her husband's Crimes.

Because Dala became an Inquisitor, a role women could not normaly take, as penance, Syra was taken to become one of the Sisters of Saint Pheles. Dala became resentful of the heretics, because after this, despite all her attempts, Syra refused to talk to Dala.

Dala only managed to talk with Syra through Knigh Commander Apollo, who, being the Holy Sunborn Knight, had direct access to the Sisters of Saint Pheles.

Syra was indeed a good devout follower of Pheles, she was the best.

As a Sister of Pheles, she eventually embarked on a pilgrimage to Heretic Territory, where the old Galerians, rebels and former believers of dragons and the God Emperor, still lived. But when her group moved in to attack the rebels, they fell into an ambush and every single one of the Ainlienists were killed, Syra included.

Her remains were given to her by Apollo.

Oh, and this one which got missed but which I like very much:

It looks better on the project page than the official photos. That texture is A++. I don't know where it would go on the ambition scale, possible fairly far down because set in sleeve.

Current contenders for my next sweater, from least to most ambitious:

Raglan but there's a very dramatic and pretty v-neck:

Raglan but there's a hood:

Raglan, but there's texture:

(texture is more ambitious exclusively because I won't be able to do miles of completely brainless stockinette)

Yolk sweater with a cable design, otherwise it's miles of stockinette:

(should be noted, I love doing miles of stockinette in the round, especially if the yarn is pretty. And I've done a number of smaller cable projects)

Yolk sweater with lace:

(I have never successfully finished a project involving lace, but it's pretty!)

This yolk pattern (which might also be using lace techniques? or cable? it's unclear) and also has several other techniques I've never heard of like no purl reverse stockinette:

I'm kind of obsessed with this but I'm not sure if it'll look good with the yarn?
