grabs this NPC (/violent) and uses him for angry expression practice

my DM gave me free reign to design a couple of NPCs when they were about 20 years younger or so, so I decided to include the worst bastard guy ever

The secret chamber stood still. Even the candle flames did not flicker. Wax didn’t melt. Tall stationary fire on unburnt wicks. Evaldo was deep in personal thought, still seated on his secret throne stashed away in Paliano. Arms crossed and brow stern. His train of thought drifted in and out of reality, becoming whispers in the frozen air. “This is everything I’ve wanted, right?” “The true conspiracy.” “Of course I miss them.” “My life’s work.” “To be alone?” “My world needs guidance.” “Has to be me.” “What has to be you?” A voice like gravel interrupted. Derrio loomed over the enchanted throne. The ogre planeswalker had a knack for interrupting, specifically when Evaldo got stuck thinking about the Consortium. “This,” Evaldo sat up in his throne, “the hidden king can only be me. There isn’t anyone else who had my gifts for mathematics.” “I still don’t know what any of that means.” Derrio snorted. Evaldo let out the same sigh he did every time he had to explain himself. “Magic is math. It’s equations and theorems that turn mana into spells. I have always been able to see the math behind the magic.” Evaldo bragged. “The piss does that have to do with this junk?” the ogre waved a massive hand at the assembled artifacts. “The story goes that three brothers fought for control of their father’s empire. Their father was a powerful king and upon death bestowed each with a symbol of rule, a crown, a throne, and a scepter. They embodied different ideals for ruling over a populace that a king needs, a mind for authority, a heart for the people, and a firm but fair hand. Well the brothers went to war over the symbols, each a powerful artifact on their own. Used all at once they had unrivalled magic to bind an empire to one will. The war raged on until the three would-be-emperors met in battle. They each delivered a fatal blow to another. As they bled out they realized the old emperor was right and they should have ruled together.” “Heh, I sound just like…” a stay thought whispered. Derrio snuffed the static candle where the vice came from. “But blah blah blah eventually a planeswalker scattered them around the multiverse. But you know that. You hunted them down for me.” Derrio wiped drool from his craggy chin. “And that has to do what with math?” “That’s the poetic lesson heavy idea, but the artifacts alter the fundamental mathematics behind a magically enforced society such as Fiora or Ravnica. My magic does the same but I have an added gift. I understand extraplanar math to a point where I know a planeswalker before they spark. By tuning my magic through the trio I can control the background level of magical politics, Hell, the very rules of this world’s reality.” Evaldo let out a proud chuckle. Derrio bubbled through more boredom-drool, “but you do it in secret because your a Fioran noble who hates statutes of himself and parades in his honor.” “Because an emperor cannot be dethroned if no one knows he exists. It works best in subtlety.” “I’m sorry I asked,” The ogre grumbled, “glad I didn’t have urgent news.” The Hidden King glared. “Lot of dead folks been shuffling around at night.” “So? Zombies aren’t new, and definitely not urgent.” “These ones moan your majesty’s name.” Derrio showed his gnarled teeth in a grin. “And best part is they’re all sewn together.”

Rádio 0091-GV A compilation album of songs by the Conjunto Farroupilhas and Trio Nagô, where each vocal group has it's side on this LP released by Rádio at a date which I could only guess. While Conjunto Farroupilhas has been featured lately in this parallel reality, Trio Nagô has, apart from one song on the 20 Anos da Nacional (1956) posted in another reality about 3 years ago, their first appearance today. There is not much that I know about Trio Nagô except that they consist of Mário, Evaldo and Epaminondas and that they have released at least 5 career albums in the period from 1956 to 1959 + 5 compactos / EPs and around 30 78 rpms, starting from 1953.

Discos Drink LP-DF-13.011 Araken Peixoto has been featured two times on Parallel Realities playing as member of Djalma Ferreira'a conjunto. Now we have the opportunity to enjoy his solo album, recorded for Discos Drink, a company run by Djalma Ferreira. Araken has another album released for the same high spirited recording label, which has, by the way, published (as far as I could find out) altogether 11 albums, most of them starring, no surprise here, Djalma Ferreira with his conjunto. The back cover displays a detailed text about Araken's personal life and career, written by the mIsterious Mister ECO . The musicians playing together with Araken are: Paulinho (Piano) Evaldo (Guitarra) Sebastião (Contrabaixo) Fernando (Bateria) Julinho e Canseira (Ritmo)  + Coro The compositions performed are 01. Isto É Samba (J. Canseira / Paulo Silva) 02. A Canção Que Nasceu do Amor (Rildo Hora / Clóvis Mello) 03. Amei Demais (Anselmo Mazzoni)  Vocal: Araken Peixoto 04. Johnny Guitar (Victor Young / Peggy Lee) 05. Reza Por Nosso Amor (Haroldo Lobo / Milton de Oliveira) 06. Vai Amor (Izaias Ferreira / Jorge de Oliveira) 07. Larga o Meu Pé (Monsueto / Aloísio França)  Vocal: Araken Peixoto 08. Serenata do Adeus (Vinicius de Moraes) 09. Aprendeu a Lição (Ataulfo Alves / Luiz Bandeira)  Vocal: Araken Peixoto 10. Passo do Elefantinho (Henry Mancini) 11. Manda Brasa (Pega Lenha) (Luiz Bandeira)  Vocal: Araken Peixoto 12. Moon River (Henry Mancini / Johnny Mercer) DRINK, DRINK, DRINK AT THE DRINK Créditos: Pedro & 300discos PROBABLE RELEASE DATE by Brazilliance: I assume, this fine album is from 1963 because the earliest verifiable recording of A Canção Que Nasceu do Amor is also from 1963 by Araken's brother Cauby Peixoto. Unfortunately, the catalogue numbers of Discos Drink are not exactly in chronological order which is why they are not reliable.
