The Three Mulla-mulgars

In a tangled border of the Munza‑mulgar forest, an ancient grey fruit‑monkey named Mutt‑matutta lives with her three mischievous sons—Thumb, Thimble and Nod—in a rickety wooden hut that has stood for centuries. The hut, a relic left by a lost Portuguese traveler, houses curious relics—glittering beads, rusted muskets and jars of strange stones—drawn from a world beyond the trees. When a weary, red‑jacketed Mulgar named Seelem limps to the door, his presence awakens old myths and hints of a royal bloodline hidden in the shadows of the forest.

Seelem, a Mulla‑mulgar descended from the Prince of the Valleys of Tishnar, has grown weary of palace comforts and set out with three loyal companions to explore beyond the Arakkaboa Mountains. Though two retainers have already met grim fates—one frozen on a peak, another devoured by the mysterious Minimuls—Seelem rests in the hut, his pain soothed by the sour monkey‑physic of his host, inviting listeners to share his restless curiosity and the strange treasures that surround him.
