To Sooth a Volcano[]
| “ | 6 November 1694 Dear Mamma, I got a job at the Foundry. It is hard work, but I like it better than being on a boat. I even made a friend. She's Rempahnese, her name is Farah. I wish you could meet her: her laugh is as enchanting as the songs of the local birds. Today she brought bad news. She says the smoke we saw last week rising from the volcano is a bad sign. It has killed people in the past. erased entire villages, that is why her folks never built anything so close to it. Except we can't really move the Foundry now, or even Laar. She says I must climb to the crater and offer it something dear. The Sultan used to give his nail clippings, ain't that strange? If someone threw their nails at me, I'd be pissed but apparently volcanoes like that. Shall I try to sacrifice some aged cheese? I don't know what to think. Will you light a candle for me so Mount Trisula spares us? Jan De Meyer |

Laar Map Location
Laar shares it's name with a community in the district of Grafschaft Bentheim in Lower Saxony. The community’s name comes from the Old Dutch for “glade in the woods”. Laar lies northwest of Nordhorn on the German-Dutch border. It belongs to the Joint Community (Samtgemeinde) of Emlichheim, whose administrative seat is in the like-named town. The Vechte river runs through the community, and although Laar is a small village, it nonetheless has three church parishes: Evangelical-Reformed, Catholic and Evangelical-Old Reformed.
Historically the Dutch East India Company took control of the spice islands during the course of Dutch–Portuguese War after allying with the Sultan of Ternate and conquering Ambon and Tidore in 1605, expelling the Portuguese. However, the Dutch monopolized the production and trade of spices through ruthless policy. This included the genocidal conquest of the nutmeg-producing Banda Islands in 1621, the elimination of the English in Ambon in 1623, and the subordination of Ternate and Tidore in the 1650s.
