Declaration Of Independence

     Foraoise Draoichta is a free society full of happiness and respect. There is too much criticism in today's society. No creature shall be judged or criticized. Foraoise is a beautiful getaway for any creature, and should be considered an area of peace and prosperity for all. Fighting and other acts of violence will not be tolerated on our sacred forest lands.

     The democracy of Foraoise Draoichta shall not be challenged, for it is the perfect option for this society. All creatures have complete freedom unless they break one of the ten important Foraoise rules. This perfect society houses many creatures, so everybody must get along and work cooperatively to create the equality that is absent on Planet Earth.

Come live in the perfect society of Foraoise Draiochta! We have beautiful living spaces and breathtaking landscapes for miles in every direction!





Foraoise has the best pets. Puffles and pixies are the best, cutest, most          obedient pets around.








Life would be perfect living with the elves! Everybody works together and in harmony.









                                     Governing Body

       The governing body in Foraoise Draiochta is a simple democracy. The elected elf king has power, but his council can collectively veto any decision made. The elf king is the most powerful man in the land, but he cannot make any decisions unless everybody else thinks it is a good idea.

        This kind of government is good because the wise elf king has the most power, but he can take advantage of all of that power. Checks and balances keep the government running. 
Dear Annie,



     How have you been? How's life back in Maryland? I'm loving life here in Foraoise Draoichta. It's calm, relaxing, and we can do what we want. Everyone is really kind and welcoming. We spend our days in the forests, meadows, and waterfalls. They are the prettiest I have ever seen!



     I think you should seriously consider moving out here to Foraoise. Not only is the environment beautiful, but it's perfect for you and your children! In this society, everybody works and everybody reaps the benefits. The people here work together as one to create the best utopic society possible. It really is a beautiful thing to see.


    I just bought a puffle yesterday, and it is so darned cute! It is nothing like the pets of your society. Puffles are loving, caring, and very obedient. We have the best pets here in Foraoise.


   Well I have to go tend to the volcano, Annie. I hope you're doing good back at home. I miss you and I hope you might move out with me to this perfect place someday.


                                                                             -Carl

         Today we have the Festival of  Easanna, the celebration of the waterfalls. It is one of the major festivals in Foraoise so us cooks are preparing all the food for the celebration tonight. Because it is such a big deal, we have to cook a lot of food! Three course meal... Hors D'oeuvre... Desserts... This is only my second big event so I'm a little nervous about messing something up. But Anotia assured me I will be ok. She has been a cooking elf for a year now, so she has a lot of experience with celebrations. I'm in charge of making a desserts. I think I am going to try out one of my favorite recipes that I created. Chocolate Water Lilac Pie. The water lilacs can only be found on the banks of waterfalls. I have to make ten whole pies though! I'm used to only making food for my village! It's going to be a lot of work... But we are all going to work together to create a masterpiece!

         The celebration is going to be held at Ailleacht Sa Dtagann (Beauty in the Falls). It's the most beautiful waterfall in Foraoise Draiochta as well as the most celebrated. I'm going with Vesatia, our first date! A beautiful place for a first date. Hopefully I won't be so stressed about the food. The festival is to include dancing, a big dinner (cooked by us!), music, and fall games. I'm very excited! Easanna Festival is my favorite and I'm happy to be able to be a part of it this year!


         Well it's time to go make pies...

        Today Vesatia and I went to Na Lilac Corcra for lunch. It is such a relaxing place and there are always so many different things to see. Today we saw an elf with his five puffles pulling him around! It was hysterical. He was trying to control all of them but they were all pulling in different directions. They just wanted to play with a group of pixies nearby.  After watching them for a bit, we had a nice lunch of pastries and sandwiches, which I of course made! Vesatia loved it all and wants to learn how to bake pastries. 

        We then took a stroll around the relaxing meadow. It is always seems so peaceful, no matter how many elves and puffles and pixies are about. The smell of the lilacs made us sleepy and serene, so we sat under a lilac bush and just watched passerby in the late afternoon sun. Na Lilac Corcra is my favorite meadow and I'm glad Vesatia and I got to spend some time there together!

         I had a long day at work today...
        
         It started off with the boss getting mad at Anotia and I for not making the breakfast pancakes fast enough. We were trying our hardest! But everyone kept telling us different instructions and we were getting really confused. Once we finally made and efficient number of chocolate chip cherry, blueberry, and cinnamon roll pancakes, we had to make the syrup... Anotia was in charge of the Icing Syrup and I had to make the Chocolate Cherry Delight Syrup. I accidentally added one too many chocolate chips and it totally threw off the consistency of the syrup. I was so angry with myself but I just had to roll with the puffle punches and go with the pixie dust flow.Of course though, elves have to be SO. PICKY. They all complained how the syrup was just slightly too thick and the boss got really angry with me. But oh well. We eventually got it all figured out.

        Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!

Utopian Animal

Our utopian animal is the puffle.

These encompass the morals of Foraoise Draiochta, therefore, they are perfect for our community.




They love their puffle treats, play games for fun, and they will always follow their owner around. They love going for walks about Foraoise and especially love the meadows and waterfalls. They are often timid about going into the forests.







Puffles get along with each other, and love playing together.





Puffles come in a variety of colors.
