Brumle Brattnakk, Trade & Technology Seer of the Stone Circle
Inspired by real events in Frostwood Swamp (Canada)
Ah, Canada—land of polite lumbering humans, oversized moose, and the sacred “Maple Syrup Cartel” (or as they call it, the “Fédération des Producteurs de Sirop d’Érable”). These soft-bellied creatures have built an entire economy on tree blood, and now their precious “liquid gold” is in turmoil.
The Great Syrup Heist (Again?)
Yes, tiny humans, your beloved “strategic maple syrup reserve” (a concept so ridiculous even trolls cackled) has been robbed—again! In 2012, thieves made off with $18 million worth of syrup from the sacred vaults of Sticky Hollow (Quebec). And now? More sticky-fingered bandits!
Brumle shakes his mossy head. Trolls solved this millennia ago—we store our precious fermented mushroom brew under a sleeping mountain giant. Try stealing that, you syrup-sucking thieves!
Why Humans Fail at Cartels
The “Global Strategic Maple Reserve” (a name so pompous it deserves a troll spit-take) controls 77% of the world’s syrup supply. Yet, somehow, they keep getting robbed, prices keep swinging, and black-market syrup flows like a cursed river.
Brumle’s ancient wisdom? If you’re going to run a cartel, at least hire a troll. We’d guard the syrup with boulder traps, cave wolves, and a curse that turns thieves into squirrels.
The Future of Syrup (According to Brumle)
- Blockchain Syrup? Humans will probably slap “NFT” on it and call it innovation.
- Syrup Wars? Vermont (Fungus Ridge) is already plotting rebellion.
- Troll Solution? Replace the reserve with a magic cauldron that refills itself. (Patent pending.)

? 4 Rotten Ideas Rolled in Gold
“Humans turning tree juice into a hyper-regulated commodity is both hilarious and tragic. Almost troll-worthy.”
