 SOS Rhino
Apart from the Javan rhinoceros of Ujung Kulon park and the its small population in Vietnam, no other populations of the animal are known to exist.
Environmentalists say the stable number of Javan rhinoceros is due to factors such as apparent competition for food from wild cattle and lack of the right food, which impairs their breeding.
Experts add that the stable population of the Javan rhinoceros may be due to the existence of the arenga palm (arenga obtusifolia) at the Ujung Kulon park, which damages the plant usually eaten by the Javan rhinoceros.

Crippled Prince Javan gains the throne of Gwynedd after the death of his brother, King Alroy, despite machinations by the five former regents, who mean to make him a monk and crown his more biddable younger brother.
The death of young King Alroy brings his twin brother Javan to the throne of Gwynedd, and the Council of Regents is thrown into turmoil when the new king proves less amenable to their control.
Javan is an interesting martyr--so rock-solid in his convictions and so coldly calculating at times, mixing these qualities liberally on occasion with great warmth and discretion.

Javan has been scheming furiously to avoid this gristly fate since about five minutes after he received his Word.
There aren't many other suitable candidates - Javan, alas, is a bit of a (read: 'a galloping') snob, and shudders to think of having to have his art polluted by working for Saminga and/or Belial.
He does have a certain flair for his job, in marked contrast to most of the sorry trash that preceded him, and Javan is fond of sneering at those pathetic losers.

Javan is remarkably intelligent and knows what the fight is about, but he suffers from a club foot which makes ignoramuses and plotters alike whisper that he is cursed and unfit for the throne.
Add to that the instigations of a nasty Archbishop (this is a pro-pagan/pro-celtic series) charged with "protecting the King" and you'll see that Javan and his MacRorie allies have their work cut out for them.
Through all of this darkness, the light of who Javan is shines through and I really cared what happened to him and was somewhat upset at how this ended...
