Appendix B
On these stories
The Adventureta
& Other Stories
These are the playmobilic parts of the Tales in Degandorf. The stories appeared arround a new character made from the Crusader klicky 4670, slightly modified to compose the character of Elmo of Tapia.
4670The Original stories of Degandorf didn't include the Tapians. Elmo Tapia, heir to the throne, opened a new storyline, in which the Realm of Tapia became a more active neighbour to Degandorf, the village where the main old stories (not playmobilic portrayed yet) took place.
With Elmo, Fletcher "the Adventurer" appeared, and a plot was begun, around the conjecture on what was their relation. With that, the main plot of the Tapian succession was thought. Also the characters of Feorctegot and Bertram appeared, however Bertram hadn't yet been shown in a photostory. The Acz sequence is the first one in which he appears, but he's involved in other plots which aren't yet definitively concluded. Also Elmo's Grandfather, the Regent of Tapia firt called Lord Davo, later Lord Tirio. (Issue still in doubt.)
A few sequences of the circle of friendship between Elmo, Fletcher and Feorctegot have been shot.
The Adventureta is a project not meant for playmobil photostories. It's around a plot with a Don Fredenando (mentioned elsewhere as Frenam the Spaniard), and it takes place in the 16th (or 17th?) century, whereas the Tapian succession plot is supposed to take place in the period of the Second or the Third Crusades.
Many elements of the Adventureta are, nevertheless, been brought to the "Elmo & Fletcher" stories, once the Degandorf is a very old village in the region, which has its story traced back to the Roman period. (Among the elements of the Adventureta here, we have, for instance, the Physician of Degandorf, mentioned not only in the Acz story, but in the sequences on Feorctegot as well.)
The Adventureta was born itself from playmobil characters, in the erlier period of my collection, the part of it that was given to children, more than ten years ago.
A very important note to be added is that however the village was geographically based in an actual one (Deggendorf, Germany), it isn't meant to be the same. The two Dorfs are completely independant ones, being the one of these stories even mentioned as possibly some kind of district or section of the real one, besides that this Dorf in these stories have been destroyed by a dragon, in the late 17th century, which is, obviously a fabulous invention.
