The Ireem Chronicles

The Chronicles understand that the Bedouins have declared war against the Djinn last night amidst a flurry of incidents


According to an insider’s report, the Leaders of the Najdi, Zafirah and Ben Kouraish met up and issued a decree to their people, asking them to be armed for war against the Djinn. Speaking anonymously to the Chronicles’s undercover reporter, our sources told us that the Leaders of the said clans have been trying to rally all the Bedouins in joining the war and try to use their numerical advantage to end this conflict early.

The cause of the war is unclear. Our source told us that the bad blood was started when the well known sexual predator Ehson of the Nadji clan found, stalked, and brutally attacked an innocent Djinn girl in the city. When confronted by the Djinn's family with his crime, others from his and aligned clans came to his aid. “It was well known that some of the Bedouins, especially those in the Zafirah, have an issue with the non-human races,” our source revealed, “and it came to no surprise, too, that the Emir of the Nadji did such thing, either. He had a terrible reputation within the clan, but lives happily and safely under the protection of the leaders because of his fighting ability. Secretly, most Bedouins fear for their safety whenever he came to their tent.”

When the Chronicles reached out and spoke to a few others in the city, they shared the same sentiment. “The Zafirah have been going about and capturing slaves around the city, acting on behalf of the Slavers living on the other side. The slave trade is very profitable, and the money earned from that is being used to provide the luxurious living of the leaders, as well as to satisfy the wanton lifestyle of some.”

The turning point of the relationship between the warring Bedouin alliance and the Djinn can be traced back to an incident happening a few nights ago when Flea, the popular owner of the City’s carpet store, was attacked by Miriam and Momo. The two publicly threatened to “Cut out her lungs and hang them to dry in the desert”. The resulting fight was that Flea was blinded with her own fangs after they were ripped from her mouth in the savage attack. Despite the best efforts from the famed healer Anna, at the time of press Flea was still suffering from the injuries and in critical condition. Understandably, Indigo of the Djinn had warned her fellow Djinn to be cautious, and beware of any indiscriminate attack from the Bedouins.

Speaking to some other Bedouins, however, the Chronicles understand that not everyone is agreeing to this war. “This is really the issues of a few blood thirsty and warmongering leaders,” a young Bedouin man told us, “they want to use this opportunity to establish their reputation and satisfy their blood lust.”

“Really, this is all about money,” an elderly lady said, who agreed to speak to us while remaining anonymous, “When war happens, things like food and medical aid are in short supply. The Nadji own the bakery store in Ireem and look what happened? The moment they declared war, the prices of bread shot up three times of the normal. No wonder the leaders of the Nadji are amongst the richest in the whole of Ireem. “

“We will not join this unjust war, no way,” a couple of Beduoin sisters snide when the Chronicles spoke to them about this war, “We do not condone the rape of the Djinn girl by Ehson, nor the senseless and brutal attack of OneFlea. So this war has nothing to do with us."

Another Beduoin baker agreed with their sentiment,"We all knew Miri has a vendetta against the whole of the Djinn based on the actions of one. We can not justify warring against the Djinn just because of the selfish desire of a clan leader who once sold her clan for a few coins and bows lesson."

The Chronicles will be keeping a close eye on this conflict, which no doubt will be bringing a lot of agony to the citizens of Ireem, and indeed to those peace loving Bedouins who, unfortunately, got caught between the conflicts started by a few with benefits to even less. We urged everyone to exercise extreme cautions when traveling in and around the city, and avoid being alone in the likely battle places.
