*sweet dreams*
As you probably already know the djinn leader Indigo Mehendi has been captured and lies at the bottom of a slaver cage unconscious from lack of blood ..the brutal slavers cut her finger off as she playfully poked it through the cage.
you could say she sleeps ..
What you may not know is that she is Ghul , a breed or clan of djinn known to have certain powers when it comes to delivering dreams or nightmares...
perhaps it is the sensitivity of the magi Tim, that he was able to receive this message delivered via a DREAM..
*****************************************************************
a blue form lays huddled in a cage on the side of a slaver ship, small and frail. Sinking deeply into the slumber of eons she knows all to well...
thought forms collect and disperse like rain clouds above her body gathering growing darkly , rumbling ominously with the threat of the coming storm ..
the clouds spread out forming a thick blanket over Ireem ..a place where rain is uncommon ..they swirl forming surreal creatures ..images and icons constantly changing as they move ....filled with what may seem to be water they darken and hover
..as IF about to burst ,rain begins to fall ..first a light drizzle then a flood ..but the rain is not water ..although similar in form and texture the rain is dreams , dreams and nightmares..
they fall randomly affecting all. Soaking into the thirsty earth and running in rivulets down the body's of those that live in this land. Strange dreams plague those people the djinn has touched in some way be it for better or worse ...the dreams strike randomly it may be YOU...
Perhaps a Bedouin boy tosses in his sleep plagued by nightmares of passionately tongue kissing a decapitated horses head .. and wakes with an uneasy feeling in the pit of his belly ..needing to kill slavers to make it calm down ...
You might BELIVE a slaver dreams of stumbling falling down a pit filled with serpents who writhe angrily ,hissing and coiling themselves all over his body till he can no longer breathe. Not see the light of day
when he wakes his mind will not rest ..
IN the harem a girl may toss and turn , afraid of kidnap and capture by a formless , crewl and wicked being . One that will seek her deepest fears and bring them to life..
Few understand the DJINN and their place in Ireem or their purpose ..some are to simple to care, some too obsessed with the sharpness of there sword and the slaves that run in the sand to notice ...

Dear reader, as you can imagine, the Magi were not very amused to hear about this. Some questions are left now:
- Is this a revenge for bringing Aizen back to life ?
- Or was Vermillion not even thinking that far and just saw his own advantage ?
- Will the other undead follow his example and try to blackmail the Magi to give them eternal immortality ?
Today, while trying to drag Dinky out of the dungeon night club before she drank all of the wine. I came across an interesting sight. Lady Jordina, the leader of the knights, was in some rather skimpy armor and dancing for Aizen Wind. Now I have heard the rumors of a relationship between these two, and now it seems there is proof. They professed their love for each other several times. What does this new relationship mean? What possible repercussions might it have? Only time will tell dear readers.
I wandered in the auction site the other day and saw an unusual sight,
I sad looking white wolf sitting looking forlorn. Naturally i walked up the creature to get a better look, it whimpered at me so I tried to sooth it with a pat or too.
looking into its eyes I sensed some familiarity, it whimpered more and poked its nose into its chest revealing a necklace which I recognized as belonging to lady Gara the knight. lady Elysa turned out and we worked out a way of communicating with the creature using simple questions and nods. she had some kind of curse upon her originating from her homeland and was stuck in the form of a wolf.
being a Djinn of the ghul I have the ability to change form at will although i rarely use it, we took Gara up to the djinn realm and performed a brief ceremony involving my blood to allow her to become djinn, with ghul powers so she could shift back to her normal human form...
I’m pleased to have Gara join the djinn and she is quickly learning to control her new powers ...
it turns out she had been having dreams for quite some time predicting this change dreams where a wolf would bite her in her sleep.
i would warn the people of Ireem to pay attention to there dreams, ghul deliver dreams so we of all creatures know there power..........
sweet dreams Ireem ..chuckles softly ...

Special Event! Summer Ball!
Her Royal Highness, Sultana Zanlu Heron, is pleased to give a Summer Ball for all inhabitants of Ireem. This is an OOC event on Saturday, June 13, 2009, at 1 PM SLT. The costumes are summer dresses for the ladies, tasteful silks for the slaves, and suits for the gentlemen. There will be a TP kiosk in front of the city gates to the Event Tent in the sky.
Lady Elysa, Royal Scribe
authorized by Her Majesty the Sultana
I had the pleasure today to attend the audience with our Sultana. If you were not there you truly missed out. The Sultana was positively radiant in a gold gown, her long hair flowing down around her shoulders. Her beauty truly put every one at ease.
The first order of business today was a newcomer to our city. Her name is Rebeka Markus. She has come to our city to find help determining the meaning of her dreams. The Magi have graciously offer to help her with this. While here in the kingdom she has offered herself into the Sultana’s service. Her highness accepted and has offered the newcomer a place to stay in the palace.
At this point the head dungeon guard Arian arrived late to the audience, as Knight Leader Jordina McGinnis stepped up to be heard. As would be expected her concerns centered on the rebel knights. While Lady Jordi had the floor the guard Arian Clip continually spoke out of turn and had to be told several times to remain quiet. Her majesty stated again her support for Lady Jordi in these trying times. The Sultana asked Arian if any of the rebels had been arrested, to which he replied, “Arrest who?”
The Sultana was visibly upset at being ignored and reminded Arian to pay attention when she is speaking. She was forced to repeat her question to the guard and finally received this answer: “For the rebels to be arrested we need the Royal Guards support in the city. Not hunting preys and kissing them in the auction area.” I don’t know about you dear readers but this statement gives me several thoughts. First, Arian is admitting that he is incapable of doing the job he aspired to. Second, You would think the head guard, tasked with protecting citizens, would know that a citizen can not hunt prey nor does the palace guard have authority outside of the palace. Perhaps one day he will understand what his job is.
Last to speak was lady Mirna Muggins. She announced a summer ball being thrown by our Sultana for all the people of Ireem. The ball will be held on June 13 at 1Pm SL time. Look for more information about this ball to be released soon. That is all for now dear readers but as new stories develop you can be sure we here at the chronicles will bring them to you.
First dear readers let me apologize for the length of this article. However I think it important to discuss the many issues facing the citizens of this great kingdom.
As I am sure you all know there is a group of former knights that have broken off from the true knighthood. Now as I reported in an earlier story the Sultana has ordered these knights to cease their rebellion. This however has not happened. Instead these knights have been taken in by the Bedouins. The leader of the Bedouins, Sando, has sent to the chronicles a statement he wanted published.
The new order of Ireem?
I was enjoying the view of the beautiful dunes of the desert, thinking of how wonderful would be to be able to live in peace without having to watch my back always that I turn around, when all of the sudden, and without previous notice, the one who calls himself Count of the Night or Dark Prince or Duke of the Shadow or … something with dark, well, a disgusting monster anyway; that thing attacked me.
Fortunately I could get shelter and then I asked what were the reasons of the attack. And what was my surprise when Mr. buck-tooth told me that I was under arrest. It said that I am helping some rebels and that I threatened Ireem and the Sultana with war and I don’t remember what other digressions. I think that the last blood that The Vampire of the Dark Cove drunk was past its sell by date or something. But then it told me that everything was because it had read it in the Chronicles of Ireem.
WOW!!!
I was getting arrested because a dark bat likes to read gossip. I can imagine it, at the hairdresser’s, with a glass of rotten blood, reading the magazine while other undead tries to implant some hair in its head to look more human. And then It says - oh, I think I’ll have to arrest that Bedouin, here says that he is baaaad – while it looks at the mirror thinking that It must get a new skin because the one It has makes it look too dead.
Is this the new order in Ireem? The Sultana trusting on undeads? Are we all crazy or what!!!
Well, I am not, under any circumstances, tolerating this.
I officially declare my total rejection to the politics of the Sultana and I stop recognizing her figure as first head of Ireem while she keeps dealing with the undeads.
Bedouins will not let steal their freedom not now not ever.
So it would seem that the Bedouins together with the rebel knights intend to stand against our Sultana. It has been brought to my intention that because of this decision as well as other things, a group of Bedouins have separated themselves from Sando’s leadership. So now we have a group of rebel Bedouins as well.
I suppose that brings us to the undead that now leads the dungeon guards. I know many of you do not trust Arian and believe he is just a power hungry vampire. A concern I share and have written about on several occasions here in the chronicles. And after a conversation overheard by several people in the auction site these fears are stronger then ever. While speaking to a rebel knight Arian was heard making this statement.
Arian Clip shakes his head. "According to the chronicles you are an outlaw and I am the ruler of Ireem together with the Sultana."
I assure you if you read the stories in the chronicles including the statement of support from the Sultana regarding Arian, you will never see him referred to as a ruler. After hearing this statement from Arian I was lucky enough to be able to speak to our Sultana about it. She was kind enough to give me the following statement:
As everyone knows I’m not a tyrant and I try to be wise.
Arian : He was elected democratically. He spoke to me nights and days, he studied the laws of the kingdom and he swore to me that he will be a good dungeons Leader, without favoritisms to anybody.
He wants, like me, bring peace to Ireem.
Of course somebody doesn't like that. Many used to follow their own laws...but rules are the same for all.
Just read our establishment.
Yes...he was an undead: but who in Ireem is without sin, let him cast the first stone.
I'm sure that he is changed. My laws are his laws, as he said knelling in front to me.
Nobody sent to me any complaints
Of course things can change with the wind.
But if power drives him mad...he will be punished.
That's sure.
But for now an advice : envy is not a good thing.
That's all.
Thank you
Your Sultana

To recap things are not at their best in Ireem these days. We have the Bedouins taking in the rebel knights to stand together against our sultana. There are now also rebel Bedouins standing against their leader and his decisions. And an undead very few trust running the city dungeon. However I would submit to those that share my concerns over Arian, would it not be more productive to stand with our Sultana? To show her we are loyal and try to support her in the hopes that if Arian does violate his oath to her that she has our support to punish him. If we all revolt and stand against her simply because we do not agree with one decision she made then we force her to turn to the very man we distrust to restore order.
These are most difficult times for us all. But the people of Ireem are a strong group and can whether this storm if we stand together and stop dividing ourselves.
But what had happened ? Here is the report of the witnesses themselfs:
"On Wednesday a little after Midnight, Myself (The Amazing Angel Alter), My Mistress of the Harem Grizel, and Kal were sitting on top of tall tower over the Auction watching the sunset and Kal 's problems with his loin cloth covering his parts, or rather how they didn't.
Suddenly, there was great turbulence in the sky. A massive glow was seen in above the desert, before the city gates. The light in the sky appeared to grow brighter and brighter until we had to shade our eyes for fear of blindness.
Then suddenly, it's true form was shown to us - an Angel of great loveliness with golden hair, white wings and bolts of light radiating from them. Then in a voice we had never heard the likes of before, one both heavenly and fearsome, it told us of a child to be born in Ireem - a child of darkness - born to an undead and a human!
Its voice rang out warnings of this event of a birth of an Unholy Child who must be destroyed to please Allah to prove that the land has not lost it's way. If this did not happen it said Ireem will fall into despair, famine and peril at the hands of this child, and the Kingdom will be destroyed. Until this child is destroyed, all Ireem women will be struck barren. The command from above is to find this child and destroy "it".
Others in the auction also witnessed this splendid vision. Slaver Zarco Paragorn was said to have tried to view it from a better vantage point. Slaver Golden Ghost saw this event and made a couple of sketches to prove what he had seen. As you can see from this report Ireem is in big trouble. And the Undead are to blame.

- When this incident is only halfway true, what does that mean for the peace in Ireem ?
- Is Bedu Leader Sando planing something or just simply megalomaniac ?
- Is this anonymous letter a lie, a try to make him look sad or did he really decide to ally with the rebel knights ?
- And what will knights leader Jordi do now ? Will she even ally with undeads and slavers ?
- Which side will the new dungeon leader Arian choose ?
- Are we all now close to a new long and bloody war ?
Two nights past while passing the time at the auction site as so many of us do. Dinky and I were unfortunate enough to draw the attention of the head guard Arian Clip. He informed us that he was placing Dinky under arrest. When I inquired what crime she had committed he said she was under arrest because she had her scimitar in hand at the auction. I assure you dear readers I did my very best not to laugh in this poor mans face as I told him there was no law against that. Regrettably I failed in that attempt. As he did not seem to understand that there was no law against this I decided to try another approach.
I pointed out that both the undead leader Damien and one of his own guards, Geli, were also standing next to him with drawn blades. He happily informed me that Dinky was a citizen and this is why she was not allowed to have a drawn scimitar and the two others, undead I might point out, were. He stated that it is his duty to protect the citizens. Apparently his preferred method of protection is arrest and jail time. I know that I feel safer already, how about the rest of you?
At this point my disgrace of a sister, Sarra, stepped in and tried to change the story. She says that Dinky is under arrest for drinking rum. Again I wasn’t aware there was a law against that, and if there is I know the dungeon will soon be filled with slavers. However you do have to admire her trying to step in and cover for her boss.
This all ended quite anticlimactically as the head guard gave up when I told him, very politely to be sure, to go have someone read the laws to him. It seems to me if he is to enforce them as the sultana has ordered him to do then he should at least be familiar with them.
Also I was informed that Arian went to the Djinn realm. There he spoke to Indigo the leader of the djinn. He personally offered her 200 Dinar for the head of ever knight she brought him. I am happy to say that she flat out refused. These incidents do raise some questions though.
First, How can we trust this man to enforce the laws when he is so clearly biased towards his fellow undead? Second, is there a single citizen of this fine city that thinks arrest and imprisonment is a good way to provide protection? Lastly, is it proper for the leader of the guards to offer money for the murder of Knights? Wouldn’t you think they should be working together to keep the innocent safe?
I guess only time will tell just how far over the edge this guard has gone. That is if there is anyone not in the dungeon and in a place to see it.
