Dafayo Today-o/Volume One

INTRODUCTION

Greetings artists and literates of the world!

It is I, Dafayo who writes to you here. The world is in turmoil and knee deep in wars over gold and land, while I Dafayo; choose to lead the world in a cultural evolution to rattle the very heavens! Since my arrival in Atamara I have decided to take this world and lead it into renaissance! The lands abound are all covered in filthy forms of barbaric art. The world seems to swim in lowbrow and crudely carved images not fit to adorn a commoner’s toilet room! So I have single handedly taken the job of bringing the world into a new age of culture and art. My critics number many, and my fans number more! My art speaks loud enough to back up my words. And my claim here and forever NOW is this-

“I am Dafayo Daphine Vashemere! Artist supreme! Artist Elite! The world’s FIRST mega-star artist to become wealthy off of art and art alone!”

Welcome to Dafayo Today-o, and welcome to the only printed-paper to promise class and refinement of the utmost standard and measure. I am here to bring you a slice of perfection on a loaf of heaven! Read on my adoring fans, and see why Dafayo is hailed

THE MASTER ARTIST OF THE ENTIRE WORLD!

THE WORLD'S FIRST SYMPHONY

I Dafayo have released the world’s FIRST symphony. Making me the greatest inventor of music. No longer must you suffer the crude beating of drums behind the mundane rift work of barbarians attempting to piece together real works of music. My first symphony (the WORLD’S first symphony) was released two weeks ago. Since then I have released three more. The works are of the finest quality and have gathered much attention. The four symphonies are as noted.

Dafayo’s First: Eston War March.

Dedicated to Eston’s soldiers for their fine duties in the field and service to the finest Kingdom in all the world. Strings howl in perfect note and measure. The drums scream of war and pride. The entire piece is sex for the virgin’s ear! And an orgy for the true music aficionado

Dafayo’s 2nd: Fact is I’m Evil.

This piece was released as a dark comedy and was both cursed at and embraced by all sides of Nobility. The lyrics speak of deadly sin and evil, while the meaning screams for mercy for a misguided retch. The song’s deep concept lined with a dark humor has given this song much fame. The work has gone down as a record-breaking ticket seller, and a jaw dropping show.

Dafayo’s 3rd: Dafayo

Titled “Dafayo” this rightly named song describes my soul and personality. It was released to introduce the true Dafayo to the lovely realm of Eston. Its dark at times. Loving at times. Deep at times. Shallow, bright, happy, angry, sad and always ART! It’s a wonderful melody that builds to a crashing finale.

Dafayo’s 4th: That Car “t”

While drunk on Vulture spleen ale, I had a vision of carts from the future. This song with lyrics details my vision. It was inspired by the great King of Eston, Andrew McKay (a sexy devilishly handsome man) with his vision of “road engineering” a new evolution of roads within Atamara.

All my works are full songs ready for you to hear! They place, for now, ONLY in ESTON and can only be seen and heard at the Hawthorne Palace Theater in the city of the same name. The king himself has been seen at almost every opening night, and its one HELL of a good time!

If any nation wishes to have the music sheets sent to them so they can spread the Dafayan musical wave, please just ask. It will be very cheap, but worth saying

“We play Dafayo here!”

THE DUMBEST CULT

Life of Dafayo is so exciting and adventurous. Just last month, The Blackest Cult had announced a campaign to obtain my severed head. Just yesterday a cult member had attacked my wagon with all intent to kill me. But I ran him over and laughed as I escaped.

At the tournament I was accosted by a cultist who publicly cut off his own PINKY finger and gave it to me in a box…No doubt the message was this cult had given me the finger. This cult has caused much trouble in my family. Murdering my nephew in Nighthelm on the continent of the Far East, hunting me daily, and even bringing some to suspect me as a member.

Well, lets just say this cult is truly a bunch of fools. I will tell, my nephew who still survives, by the name of Vatticus, is the reason behind this hunt for my death. The cult is headed by a handful of misguided youths who have mental problems, and since my symphony “Fact is I’m Evil” was released, these hooligans want me dead for it.

Well.La La! Too bad! They will never get a chance to attack me again. Eston has put into effect laws that make these cultist criminals in Eston. So, I say to them; Thhhhbbbth!

They are shenanigans and clowns! I shall never be captured or killed by such an under funded and unprofessional organization as “The Blackest Cult”!

I am safe and happy! Vashmere 03:19, 8 September 2006 (CEST)

Dragonhearts

This week I was commission to produce a crest for one of the most famous and honorable families known in the entire world.

The Dragonheart family.

For the recently fallen hero of the same family.

Here it is. Isn’t it gorgeous?

Remember, Dafayo makes all crests for 150 gold. Prices will rise, so get them while they are cheap.

DUSA's DESIGN

Yes the Dafayan University of Science and Art is surly coming closer to being constructed. The designs for the building have just be released to the King and Lord Leonardo in hopes for approval. If this design is allowed, the building will stand as a true wonder of brick and wood. It shows my eye for perfection and grandness. Behold the marvel that is DUSA's Design!

Truly to be the greatest building ever designed by any Noble ever. I am so wonderful! It is a wonder why Kings and lords do not pay me many bags of money to design all great works of the lands. Oh well, they must suffer with lower-grade work until they learn that Dafayo is the ONLY mortal who can produce works worthy of the very heavens. All other works of art are simply insulting when compared.

Cults are bad

Just a rambling thought of a great man here...

As a man of great ideas and wonderful ways, I can stand proud to say all cults are bad. I say cults should be stopped. Openly a cult apparently has asked for my death. Its a cult that likes the color black I assume (well at least they have fashion sense), and they love evil. Evil is stupid. I find that, even if it proves to be real, it is still stupid. It tries boring tricks that all of us "normal people" know right off the bat are nothing but tricks. Evil thinks it is very sneaky when we have you right where we want you. Your in trouble young man!

Take Vatticus Rex, a cult member for the Black-guys and my Nephew. I made a song about him...he got mad...so he told Eston I was a cult member. This could only fool a complete simpleton! Come on now Vatticus. Do you think a land of true equality and culture could ever think, I Dafayo, The king's and realm's master artist, who just crafted the new Queen's very wedding ring that she wears today, and lover of all that is fine and cultured- could EVER be mistaken as one of you? Your entire cult consists of lairs.

Do you think a land as grand, loving and right as Eston would ever take your word on a matter so important? You think you are an alien from outer space...Vatticus...you called our Duke a cultist too! Are you mad? La La! No sir, this will never even see a court room. And if it does, I will sue you for it! Ha!

Anyways...I crafted the Queens jewels, released a new symphony, and created a new Crest for the lovly Baalat of Eston. I also joined a wonderful Commerce Guild in York, and am currently looking to make as much money as possible. Always busy.

I love Eston, and Eston loves dafayo! La La!

SAD NEWS, ESTON GOODBYE

Today I regret to say was the worst of my life. My scribe and loyal man servant turned out to be a cultist trying to kill me. A professor in my group of teachers-to-be in DUSA turned out to be a loud mouthed freak who thinks she wrote the book of all holy good and it can produce factual proof of evil in any man , realm or animal just by consulting it...she consulted it on me and said I am evil and a cultist...she was not arrested or fined.

Then my secret spy scribe dies...self poison. Fool, he could have lived!

So...I have made it public today. Dafayo must move out of Eston. My agent says that the market and the Nobles of Eston are both not mature enough to have an established artist such as myself onboard.

I begged her to change her advice, but she went through the sale's report and said I "gave too much free art, showed too much generosity, and made too little income." She also said "the tax overhead was draining my wealthy pockets."

So alas, for reasons under contract and importance of wealth, my agent has advised me to move elsewhere.

So, I ponder where to go that will not molest a wealthy Noble willing to donate all his art to one kingdom's wealth. Vashmere 02:53, 18 September 2006 (CEST)

Kingdom WANTED

Are you a leader of a land? Do you welcome art and philosophy? Will you allow a Royal artist to not enter battle and sit in the city doing nothing but making art for your kingdom? I never have less then 300 gold in my pockets, so much of my money will go to taxes of your land.

If you have a welcoming kingdom that IS NOT infected with hysterical Nobles looking to find a radical mind to be criminal...I offer my skills to your land. Have art, will travel.

Please contact me through this paper to discuss details.

Thank you. Vashmere 02:54, 19 September 2006 (CEST)
