Quoth the Mint-Jack:

“Howdy there, friend, a bit off the beaten path, eh? I’m afraid there’s nothing more over the next ridge, excepting you like more tundra. But there’s a really good scenic lookout back that a way.”

Kith Excerpt:

Up in the rugged highlands of San Azúcar, betwixt this kingdom and Juleberg, rise mighty mountain peaks. These rocky lands are frosty cold, but still green with pine, fern, and luscious fields of cool mint. One kith of Sweet-Folk prowl these peaks, living amongst the cool wood and protecting the borders of the realms- the Mint-Jacks. Since time immemorial have these be-striped sentries served their fellow Sweet-Folk from afar. They are kind and loved but somewhat separated both by terrain and temperament.

Not that they are angry angst filled edge-lords incapable of coexistence with their fellows. Far from it, they are one of the most gregarious of Kith in the Kingdom. Sometimes to a fault. The rift stems from a deep-seated desire to keep things cool, which often puts them at odds with the others far below in San Azúcar, those who need deal with far more flavors of emotion.

All in all, the Mint-Jacks present the true spirit of the Kingdom of Sweets. They are comforting, welcoming, happy to help. Yet they also ensure that their realm is off-limits, protected, and the spirit of harmony reigns over the land.

Flavor

“His lips tasted cool and sharp, peppermint, winter, but his hands, soft on the back of my neck, promised long days and summer and forever.”
– Maggie Stiefvater
