The time has come for the final act in the story of Brother Ralph. The Natural Mans are gathering in the Asylum to discuss the details of the upcoming Reclamation Ceremony, and it’s shaping up to be an event of legendary proportions.

To preside over the ceremony, the Natural Mans have called upon an Elder—none other than the legendary Mjolner. The name alone is enough to send a ripple of awe (and maybe a little fear) through the workbench. Tree Top Lemon and Ronaldo confirmed that all nine of the Natural Mans will be in attendance for the entire process, however long it takes for their brother to fully return to the mud.

It’s a solemn duty, but as the Natural Mans noted, it’s a necessary part of the brotherhood. There’s a certain magic in the "miracle" of a man returning to the earth, and the Natural Mans are ready to witness it firsthand.

And, of course, no meeting at Unity Pond Pottery would be complete without a reminder of the "freedom to go back to mud." While we’re sad to see Ralph go, we’re honored to be part of his journey back to where it all began.
