The Ireem Chronicles

Lately I have fielded many questions centered on The Ruby Order and its leader Cael Ishtari. I have been asked by many people including some of my own Magi clan members about him. This being the case I decided to try to piece together what I could.

First the publicly stated goal of The Order is to unite all supernatural beings, excluding the Forsaken. Now while I freely admit that I personally harbor no love for that particular group of undead, It seems strange to hear someone speak of unity when his very goal is divisive.

One of my own mages came to me after being approached by this man Cael. She spoke to me at length about what he said while trying to recruit her. Here are a few pertinent points.

1. When asked about the structure of the order. *Note* he uses the word chapter to describe races, Djinn, Magi etc.
Cael Ishtari: Elders of chapters will only be given power over their chapters. For inter-chapter disputes, I will resolve them personally.

2. When speaking about The Orders Elders.
Cael Ishtari: I believe voting is a good method for selecting Chapter Elders.
Cael Ishtari: Althought it might just become a popularity contest. So for now, we will operate with the assumption that Elders will be hand-picked.
Cael Ishtari: I will choose the Elders as needed by the formation of the Chapters.

The obvious questions that come to my mind are:
1. Who is this new Magi.
2. Why does he think clan leaders will turn over power to him?
3. What sort of clan leader would place a man so new to Ireem that he still needs a map to navigate the city in charge of their inter-race relations?

Many of you have heard rumors of Djinn joining with The Order. Indeed many have said Indigo the former Djinn leader has thrown in her lot with him. We here at the Chronicles recently received a letter written by The Ifriti Djinn that should lay that rumor to rest.

This Is an announcement to all people of Ireem

The Ifriti Djinn hereby state that they are proud to be Djinn, that they follow the ways of the realm and that, as Djinn they consider the whole Djinn race as an independent force.

We consider the Blue Ghul, Indigo Mehendi, leader of the largest clan, to be the leading Elder of the Djinn race. Her counsel is wise and her goal has always been to keep ALL Djinn independent, as the Ifrit consider they should be. Only Indigo may speak for Ifrit in their absence.

No other clan, race or individual speaks for the Ifriti, except Ifriti.

We hereby denounce any other who profess to speak for Ifrit in their absence. We denounce those who seek to divide the Djinn under the pretence of peace.

We speak to the whole of Ireem in asking that they consider carefully the word of false ambassadors and fake elders. Impostors who DO NOT have the license to represent the interests of Djinn, in this realm.

Here speaks the Ifriti
