***ART NOT BY ME***
***ART NOT BY ME***
***ART NOT BY ME***
The first day of spring every year marks the celebration of the founding of Fontis.
Legend has it centuries ago, the mainland continents chose to rid society of the worst people in the world. This "purge of evil" was executed by gathering the convicts charged with the most horrific crimes and sending them in a sinking grand ark to a truly cursed island. Birds would not land there, fishes would not approach the shallows, and all manner of beasts upon being placed on the land turned and drowned pursuing the ships that left them. The criminals were stranded on this thorn-infested, withering island to die tortuously if not of dehydration and hunger, than of insanity to an unknown sickness of the island: madness, diseases of the mind, hallucinations just from stepping forth into the tangle of the dark briar forests beyond the skeleton-littered sands and the ocean.
Ofelia Kade the Albino Cabbit was among these convicts, and it is said that the Spring of the Island saw her heart was innocent and pure. The Spring manifested itself to Ofelia in the form of a Goddess, and led Ofelia and those who chose to follow Ofelia to the Spring in the center of the labrynthic wasteland itself.
On this first day of spring in that century, Ophelia and her followers were on the last legs of life and sanity when she came upon the Spring. The Prophet Ofelia gathered the unstable power of the waterfalls and molded the blight into a blessing; and she said to her fellow animals, "We who took a lifetime of abuse for doing what we thought was right, we were forsaken and put here because we could see the world for what it is.
From our suffering arises a light, with which we can piece together all the things the others could not. From this light arises a truth, with which we can ignite the torch of transcendence and run with the glorious flame one step ahead of the world. If anyone is going to make a change, it will have to be us.
Hence, we will make a new life for ourselves here. Separate, sublime from the chains and castes of society; we will rid the world of evil not by closing our hearts, but by opening them."
And thus the greatest Kingdom in the World was born.
A lovely piece created by
AshHavynn of Princess Eflasia leading the Founding Day of Fontis Parade, with General Pierce and Sir Tailchaser as her bodyguards. ^___^ Aah, thank you so much for lending your vision to the Eflasiaverse, Ash!
Love on the original here! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16017186/

YEP, MAGICAL AUSTRALIA FOUNDING STORY
Other main inspirations for the founding story are the Salem Witch Trials, The Outcasts of Poker Flat by Bret Harte, and Ophelia from Hamlet(I wanted a character named Ophelia to have a happy ending, for once!)
The culture of Fontis itself is inspired by several countries/American States/places I've traveled, as it's intended to stand out as an entirely unique civilization on its own. c:

Furries have known how to bend magic since the dawn of time.
But to have the power to bend a Spring, the very source that magic flows from? Like turning water into wine or parting the sea clean in half, that's a miracle, and those who do not believe in the Legend of Ofelia treat it with much skepticism, insisting that a young girl could not have possibly done that, and what happened must have been exaggerated from the original events.
