The Ireem Chronicles

The Sultana held an audience on Saturday which I nearly missed as I somehow fell asleep after tasting just a little bit of the newest slavers rum. Strangely I cannot remember all the details anymore, but when I asked my Master Tim to write the story, he refused and only grumbled "That’s what you get for being drunk!"
I hereby declare I was for sure not drunk !! - just sick - probably the rum wasn’t good anymore and I was suffering from that. Anyway, here is what I remember:

First Miss Teren Aridian was introduced, her whole appearance shiny and shimmery as she impressed our highness with her words. Explaining her „I had only wished to meet you and know whom I have to thank for such a lovely city in the sand." , the Sultana was more then pleased and thanked her for her kind words.

Next was the new knights captain Milua „Milly“ Schor and our highness complimented her on her promotion. As we all know, Miss Milly is changing the knightshood very successfully lately and rumors tell, she is doing that with the Sultana‘s approval. We will report about it more detailed as soon as we have the official statement from the Palace in that case.

The Palace secretary Lady Mirna Muggins introduced Miss Iniko Mofanui, a beautiful new dancer. She offered the Sultana her services as dancer and thanked her for the opportunity to meet her and the Sultana stated smiling „Tomorrow I want to see you dance !“ offered her some money and gave her an advice „Just a suggestion Iniko: don't take tips from the men ! They always want something in change !“ as everyone laughed.

The offering of money brought a new slaver named Obi (Negro Nayar) on the scene, who bluntly asked for some money aswell, telling a story about being so depressed and poor as he is new in the city. The Sultana’s soft heart could not refuse his begging as she advised Lady Mirna to give the man some money after the audience. Rumors tell he was seen in the House of Pleasure right after he left the Palace ! Tzzz Tzzz…

Last but not least, Sir Urso Kronsage stepped forward and requested „I'm not one ussually one to make requests, things have been strange for me since my return. I ask humbly if you will give me the honor of working in your presence as a palace guard. The only thing I would ask is that I retain my status as a knight. I would like to be a emissary for the Order, give that I speak to Lonesome first.“ The Sultana nodded smiling and welcomed him as her new Palace knight.

The Audience was over by this time and I had to hurry outside the Palace as I started to feel really sick. All I can say is, it was an interesting, colorful, shimmery event and everything was so much bigger and brighter then usual ! And funnier, though I do not remember why anymore. I just wonder why my master doesnt share my excitement about this event and tells me over and over what shame I brought over him….
