On Monday 11th February 2024, unexpectedly he came to Bucchianico, from New Zealand, TANGAROA, a powerful and beloved Maori Chief, a so-called “tohunga”, a wise man. His gaze, his kindness and his humor immediately made me understand that I was in the presence of an extraordinary person, one of those who if you meet them once in your life, you have to consider yourself lucky… and blessed! And that is the reason why he came to the shire: to bless it with the rite that his people use to do and he blessed the place, me and all those who have to do with this place that, now I can say it out loud, is truly truly an oasis of true magic in this world.
To my great emotion he compared me to him, calling me “tannifa” (I don't know if I wrote it correctly), a “Benevolent Dragon” that brings Life in all its forms. Extremely flattered, I gave him a Contea coin and he gave me a Sacred Ring which he was wearing until a few moments before.
Rings… halflings… shire… sorcerers… here everything comes back and I feel more and more part of a Fantastic Story that promises to give us unique experiences.
The Contea is Magic. Thanks Tangaroa.
