The Mysterious Glimmerbrook Horse

(Year 232, Spring) There exist several reports, and yet nobody was allowed to get close to the white and pink Unicorn of Glimmerbrook. The owner, Count Helfert of Ticktop (48), can occasionally be seen riding this spectacular creature.

They never take a ride during daylight hours, but there is no information stating whether the horse is shy of light or they simply try to ignore curious tourists. Over the past years tourism has grown and Glimmerbrook has more short term visits than ever before. This is not thanks to the unicorn, though, but the Brook Herbarium that has become quite popular, also for exclusive but small weddings.

Glimmerbrook was always a rather secluded community, their Tickertown is still very hard to locate unless you hire a local guide. Half their population is said to reside there, in Tickertown. Glimmerbrook with Tickertown is the total of Region 8 Ticktop. With a population of only 4,000 this region is doomed to expire, as hey will shortly be merged with a neighboring region. Details are yet not official.

Furthermore, Count Helfert's county, Ticktop, will lose its old District Order, because when being merged there will probably already exist another peerage of a higher rank, holding a different District Order. The Royal Chamber has stated that there shall be only 8 district orders, one for each region. When this happens Count Helfert, who will still hold the Ticktop county, will no longer be entitled to suggest new members for the old Ticktop District Order. Other orders will go extinct, as well. We still await more official information on the case.

Meanwhile, Count Helfert, often wearing his red jacket, will ride his secret creature, probably welcoming the fact that Glimmerbrook might become even more secluded in the future.

When asked about his horse, all he will say is that its name is Glory. And that seems to be all we will ever get to know.
