B’funerous Hwerq–author of Ready, Set, Chube! A Life in Gamery

Baimington, Charney–a resident of Glipwood until its evacuation the night the Fangs invaded. Charney is one of the Torrboro Baimingtons, who prided themselves on having an ancestor who coined the phrase “Jouncey as a two-ton bog pie.”  The Baimingtons were careful to insert the phrase into every conversation of which they were a part

Ballad of Lanric and Rube, the–a song sung by Armulyn the Bard at the Dragon Day festival. According to Tom Fenwick’s Comprehensive History of Sad, Sad Songs (Phute & Phute & Company), Lanric and Rube grew up closer than brothers but both fell in love with the same girl, a maiden named Illia.  Armulyn sang of how they fought like bitter enemies for her hand in marriage before finally resolving to ride to her home in the green hills and ask her to choose which man she’d rather have.  When they arrived they found her already wed to another man, and the brothers went away weeping at their folly

Bandy Impstead–a Skreean inventor from the Second Epoch. Responsible for the inventing the common knob. Before Bandy’s contribution to civilization, many drawers and cupboards were difficult to open

bitties–Podo’s affectionate term for his grandchildren. Also his name for baby chickens

Black Carriage–a ghastly carriage used by the Fangs for the kidnapping of Skreeans, mainly children

Blaggus, Mayor–the mayor of Glipwood. After the Great War, Blaggus had few duties or power as mayor. A lover of process and recordkeeping, he maintained the town’s printing press and worked closely (if unhappily) with Commander Gnorm to keep track of tools, schedules, and shipments. (See Tool Use Forms.) His two sons are longtime playmates of the Igiby boys

Blaggus boys, the–sons of Mayor Blaggus of Glipwood. Proficient at zibzy

Blapp, the River–Skree’s most prominent river. Its source lies beyond the edges of the maps and is unknown (except perhaps by those who live beyond the edges of the maps), but it terminates at Fingap Falls, where it pours into the Dark Sea of Darkness

Blapp River Press–Skreean publishing house

Bloge, Rumpole–author of Taming the Creepiful Wood, a definitive history of the Rangers of Glipwood Forest

blueberry gooeyballs–a dessert sold at Skreean festivals, made of blueberries, dough, sugar, syrup, and candy

bog pie–as in “jouncy as a two ton bog pie”. Though generations of Baimingtons have been asked repeatedly what a bog pie is, their answer is always mysterious: “jouncy thrump!”

bomnubbles–see Pembrick’s Creaturepedia
Bonked!–a work of historical fiction by Phinksam Ponkbelly, about the great emigration of trolls from the Woes of Shreve to the Jungles of Plontst

Bonifer Squoon–the Chief Advisor to Esben Wingfeather, High King of Anniera. The Igiby boys discovered one of his journals in a crate from Dang at Books and Crannies. He was known to travel often on what he called “tours of goodwill”, leaving Anniera for months at a time

booger gruel–a meal of soupy–but sometimes crispy–consistency craved by Fangs

Books and Crannies–a bookstore in the Glipwood Township owned and operated by Oskar N. Reteep. After the Great War it was the most comprehensive archive of Skreean works of literature and curiosity

boozie–a word used by elite residents of Torrboro, meaning either “interesting”, “how awful”, or “fifteen”, according to experts

Brak–one of Commander Gnorm’s Fang soldiers

Brimney Stupe–prominent former resident of Anklejelly Manor. A bench in the manor’s courtyard bears the inscription “Brimney Stupe enjoys his soup”. Since Podo Helmer was a boy, the old abandoned house was rumored to be haunted by Stupe’s ghost

Brivshap, the Sage of–person of wisdom and author of Intelligencia Magnifia, an autobiography

Brownman, Jonathid Choonch

Brume, Mr. Alep–a quiet man originally from Torrboro. He retired in Glipwood and fell in love with Ferinia Swapleton, though it wasn’t until the sea dragon song after which the Igiby children were captured by the Fangs that he finally told her so

Brrz, Yakev–a famous Skreean animal trainer and hero of dogs

burble–an animal raised in the Plains of Palen Jabh-j for their fur. The beast is quite small of frame but its copious fur gives it a round, girthy appearance (see also burbleskin rug)

butterbread–a kind of bread so tasty that one need not butter it

Buzzard Willie–resident of Glipwood and childhood friend of Podo Helmer. A long, jovial rivalry existed between the two old men since they were boys because of Willie’s wooing of Merna Swapleton, with whom Podo was infatuated

Bweesley the Leaf Thief–author of Takes Leaves and Leaves, an account of Bweesley’s exploits in the Jungles of Plontst, where the fragrant leaf of the umgamot tree fetches a high price because of the tree’s dangerous carnivorance

Byg’oal Forest–popular folk name for the large, unexplored forest north and east of the Killridge Mountains of Dang. Probably a distortion of a comment on the forest’s size (see Aerwiar)

    The entry for Bonifer Squoon makes no mention of his treachery.

    I think the Bannick Durga and the Bibes aren’t in there because those are only done/served in the Hollows. This is talking about Glipwood, not the Hollows, though, I agree, I think they should be in there. Mmmm! Butterbread!!
