News spreads throughout the scientific community like wildfire, exquisitly drawn invitations are delivered to the most distinguished of individuals and word on the street says there are opportunities on the horizon.

"My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is not everyday that one is offered the opportunity to witness deeds that will shape the world in which we live. That is why the invitation of our fair Foundation is not to be missed.
It was with great sorrow that we heard the news of the visionary Faraday's disappearence and with great determination that our finest minds set to continuing his ground breaking works. Now we are proud to announce the fruits of our labours. Dedicated to the spirit of science and understanding, we invite all who wish to marvel in the wonders of human acheivement to attend the unvieling of a marvelous new military technology...

The Parasol Foundation is pleased to present the Grand Unvieling of Professor Nimnul's Patented Faradyne Aelectrotron, perhaps better known in the fanciful realms of Gas Lamp Fantasy as the 'Raygun.'

Hold your appoinments, give apologies to your Bridge club and make way to the city of Ingolstadt in the ancient land of Bavaria where we shall ensure all who wish to witness this historic event receive transport to our Bavarian Laboritories.

Yours Sincerly
Ulysses P. Winchester
Chairman"

"One of my profs compared Bavaria to Scotland once. Both are home to a stubborn highland people and a language no one else understands." -Katie

A land of mighty forests, towering mountains and droning accordians. When one thinks of Germany it is the image of the Bavarian in Lederhosen that first springs to mind.
One of the first German regions to obtain political stability, Bavaria has long been an influential part of the German Empire and responsible for many conservative political thinkers. It is from Bavaria that most support for the warmongering stance of the dreaded Kaiser Ubelhund originates.
The strong Catholic following in Bavaria is demonstrated by the many roadside shrines and altars one finds during their travels in this land. This firm belief is echoed in many aspects of Bavarian life, from morning prayers to midnight mass.
