Biography
The early service of Pencil 1SE, (39FE) is unclear, though it was likely captured in 2011-2012 at FPS, APS or NSI. In 2012, it was appointed to be a scribe pencil at NSI. It was during this time that 39 began to gain influence. It was remarked that 39 exhibited exceptionally neat handwriting, and eventually was promoted to 3 points, and then to venue supervisor for NSI. In late 2012, it was finally promoted to 4 points and Foreman of the Headquarters, and by mid-2013 it was appointed as the third member of the Executive Panel. When Pencil No. 1FE died and Pencil 2SE succeeded the throne, 39FE was immediately appointed Deputy. Towards the end of Pencil 2FE’s life, 39 commissioned the largest tomb ever built for a pencil. On the 19th of the First Moon BSE, the eve of Pencil 2’s funeral, many fellow pencils began to question Pencil 39’s worthiness as successor, because of its ordinary appearance. A commission was made to hire a new distinguished pencil who was to be successor. Pencil 220FE was hired for this purpose and received an official promotion to Deputy from Pencil 2, just prior to its death. After the burial of 2 on the 20/1BSE, Pencil 220 became regent until the planned coronation on 1/1SE. However, on the eve of the coronation, 39 commissioned a search to find historical documents to prove its power. A pencil register from mid-2013 was found and it showed that 39 had already been a Panel member for 32 moons at least. After this, many pencils appealed for a re-election, and 39 won, and became the designated successor. Pencil 39 was crowned Emperor of Alluviana on the 1/1 and was rechristened Pencil 1SE. Because of the political situation preceding the election, 220 was appointed Deputy, however the Emperor has taken care to stop 220 from gaining too much influence. Also, at the start of its reign, 1 also instated Alluvia as the official culture and language and instated the new calendar system, rechristened every pencil and started the 2nd Era, and declared the Kingdom into an Empire. Pencil 1 has since toured all venues as well as making trips to Jindabyne, Forster, Nowra, Kurrajong, Beijing, Tasmania, New Caledonia and New Zealand.
