The Ireem Chronicles

While searching through older articles of Sage and Jasmine, I found some, that made me laugh but also cry. Reading back the interviews of the former slaver leader's election, I started daydreaming back to my first days when I arrived in our beloved Kingdom.
Many people left forever, some of them are dead, some of them just moved to various places, others come back for a visit once in a while. But isn't it exactly this, what makes our desert so special ? A daily change, always new possibilities and new faces, some of them even becoming close friends. We miss the ones that were gone, but we love the ones that newly arrived just as well.

When I finished copying some of the former editor's work as I was very lazy at this extremely hot day, I started my round to find the candidates for the interviews. I only found two of them left. Rumor has it, that candidate 3 is to be seen among slavers now.

Here are the candidate's answers:

1. Question: "What does the Djinn group stand for in our beloved Kingdom in your opinion ? Describe the Djinn as a whole. What characterizes all of you?"

Indigo: "Diversity...the freedom to be different" *takes a long suck on her shisha pipe* ".......mmmm magic...............the Magi are mortals who use magic, but the Djinn ARE magic, we make our own realities with our thoughts." *blows a smoke ring and watches it drift up into the sky* "....and fire ! We are born of smokeless fire, unlike you mortals, apparently the gods made you out of mud ! And free will, although some choose to help mankind or follow Allah, the Djinn have free will, the freedom to choose our own path. This has always been and always will be" *drops something fragrant into the pipe*

Artemis: "I believe it stands for the ability to be both unique and beautiful in any form we choose, we stand for honor among our kind, power in those who help fight in battles side by side regardless any fear of losing, Cunning as we have been seen as the evil tricksters of these lands, amazing how we impress those around us and those who enjoy a little fantasy in their life.
We have the ability to enchant ones soul , our role is so open for many things, you can choose to be a hero or villain, make your appearance as exotic as you wish , have the freedom to interact with all races even if its negative interactions we still have a place here in our kingdom, our role is so versatile to new things in the royally that we help make things interesting and allow our characters be seen as in any setting we can adapt , change form and grow with very little limitations and Vive seen many enjoy and build on their character forming new relationships based on loving our characters."


2. Question: "How would you like to see the Djinn percieved around the city ?"

Indigo: "With respect for our wisdom and magic, and fear of our wrath. An angry Djinn is best avoided! As creative individuals, who bring interesting possibilities and a touch of delightful chaos ..."

Artemis: "I enjoy seeing us as the tricksters, the villains of evil deeds that help others gain power in the heat of the moment, we are perceived as cunning artists who fear very little and enjoy bait of chaos in our kingdom, we make dreams come true , allow fantasies to take flight and be as creative as we see fit in our role. We make things very interesting at times. *grins*


3. Question: "What do you think, why are Djinn still a mystery for many citizen in Ireem ?"

Indigo: *rolls her eyes and sucks the shisha deeply* "I put that down to lack of education! Nakira's letter to the Chronicles helped, but I still get humans who think I belong in a bottle, undead who think I'm mortal and the odd person who freaks out when i drop by! Mortals fear what they don't understand and even undead started off as humans " *takes another long toke on the pipe* "But then again mystery is sacred in some senses, it is what we are. I don't think hat will change"

Artemis: "We are creatures of mystery all in itself, we do things others cannot , we enjoy our freedom from what ever keeps us bound to this human world, a lot of times we avoid humans for we see them as they see us, different, odd and most likely untrustworthy. Two worlds within a never ending mirror effect seem to reflect each other, but alas we find beauty in things that are so different from us , perhaps one day we will be seen as equal in their eyes not as simple means of making their wishes come true perhaps even a balance will be restored between our worlds.


4. Question: " Are the Djinn able to work together as a functional group and where would you see your position as Leader in here ?"

Indigo: *blows several smoke rings, one inside the other and watches them expand and drift* "Leading the Djinn is like herding cats, but I'll do my best. I hope to protect and nurture the young ones, as many get picked off by the strong and the warlike. Some young Djinn believe they are better than mortals, I do not.... we are different ...."

Artemis: "Vive notice this group very low key in the royally off to the side if you will, But I have seen some amazing talent in its releasers imagination, I hope to make it noticed by all of this kingdom, Vive also seeing very little explanation to what we are and do, I hope to let it be known what our role is like and hopefully shed light on those amazing people who put both effort and time into what they do and go unnoticed. "


5. Question: "Why are you the best candidate for the position of Leader?"

Indigo: *coughs, sending smoke out her nose* "I would not have considered leading if someone else hadn't put me up to it! I'm not ambitious. I believe, my people deserve their freedom and I'm willing to stand up for that ! Although I'm not necessarily good with a sword, I have many other talents."

Artemis: " I think of what I can do for my race class to benefit our people , I am willing to help those who need it, I can help people create their characters if they are having trouble, make their role more active in the royally itself, Vive seen very closeness with our group already with a few members vive had the pleasure of meeting and how we take care of our own in dire times. I want to get our group together and have everyone relaying without any fear and break down those walls many put up because they fear they aren't good enough, I want to encourage the Djinn to be more active and get into their character and become their element of passion and power with in their character."


6. Question: "What plans do you have for the faction upon being elected Leader?"

Indigo: "To safe guard our freedoms, to put some of my thoughts into writing to guide and protect the young and serve the sultana however I may."

Artemis: "I want to make more titles within our group, make those who put effort into being active members and who RP here, be known and seen as important, I don't wish to be the only one seen as power in our group, I rather see other members have a chance at leadership roles if they prove to be worthy of it. I want to bring more members here swell make our group bigger than what it is , give and take ideas the members have for a fresh start in our group that's been very quiet for the most part, keep us busy and try to stop boredom by giving members things to do." *giggles*


7. Question: "What are your personal goals in Ireem?"

Indigo: "To create and nurture creativity. For many people, Ireem can be both: a playground and a path of self discovery. I hope to continue to learn about my true nature. Oh! And to get better with this dumb sword!" *kicks the hunk of steel at her feet*

Artemis: "My personal goals are to express my creative side and enjoy myself here away from real life stresses and hopefully make new friends who will touch my heart and be remembered."


8. Question: "One personal question: the Djinn are obviously an extraordinary kind of species. Amazed by your skin and hair colors everytime I see one of you, I simply want to know: Who is your hairdresser / cosmetician ? And where the hell can I buy those fancy clothes ? Are you even cooperating with the Bedu leader as his beautiful wigs make me smile everytime anew?" *smirks*

Indigo: "Personally I am an artist, I create my own reality, sometimes my own clothes, which explains why they sometimes are a bit odd. I am obsessed with tattoos and henna /mehndi. The markings on my flesh are north african in origin"

Artemis: *coughs* "That information is classified Miss! I will have to escort you off our lands, have a good day." *giggles*


9. Question: "Anything you'd like to add...last words before I publish this? Any final thoughts for Ireem and your group? "

Indigo: "Many Djinn do not want too many rules and regulations put on them. Our freedom and individuality are important to us. I want to reassure my people, I won't be doing that, I value my own freedom too deeply."

Artemis: " .... "
