The Ireem Chronicles

BEDOUIN LEADER ANTAR REBUTS RECENT ALLEGATIONS!  PROCLAIMS... THE TRUTH IS HIS SWORD!

It's come to the Chronicles attention that Antar, leader of the Bedouins, has taken umbrage with recent articles published, that, in his perspective cast aspersions on the Bedouins.  While validation of Antar's side of the dispute cannot be confirmed, the Chronicles has decided to at least give him the opportunity to state his take on the situation.

 Antar's statement follows (For the benefit of our readers, our writing team had spent several hard working nights to make sure the statement is at least now understandable)



=============================

 Since the history of this land, the Knights and the Bedouins have a background of helping each other.  This has been well documented and is truthful, although there has never been any favor granted to the Bedouins for this aliance.  In fact, they were treated like any other race.  If a Bedouin committed a crime, that Bedouin faces the justice of this land.

I will admit that I, myself,  went to trial for the crime of fighting in the city.  However, in my case I must ask, since when is it a crime to defend your family from harm at the hands of the Undead and the Slavers?   

There was another incident where I was forced to defend myself against a slaver and then against an Undead posing as a Knight.   In that situation, I calmed a sister Bedouin, who was ready to attack the 'so called' Knight,  in order to respect our agreement with the Knights. I chose instead to insult him, calling him names, rather than attack him.   This to honor the alliance we've enjoyed for centuries with the Knights.

Let let it be known, that the Undead have infiltrated the Knights and the Knights are powerless to do anything about it.  In aforementioned situation, the 'Undead' turned  Knight sided with the Undead and Slavers during the battle and arrested me, despite my protests of injustice,  when he observed me capturing two of his Undead brothers. 

As Bedouin we haven't started most of the fighting and the allegation that we incite trouble in the city is unfounded.  I, Antar, never told my Brother Brad to burn the Knight's headquarters nor did I approve the deed! Many of the Knights are my friends.  It's not our honorable way, as Bedouins, to do anything of that kind.  Never in my life have I tried to hurt a Knight. It is the rodent-like Knight, a former Undead, who carries the vendetta against the Bedouin.  The Knights are the guardians of the innocent of this city while the Undead and Slavers have a history of trying to control the city.  Recently, they are trying the approach of misleading the newer, less experienced Knights. 

In conclusion, I don't  need trouble makers spreading malicious and fabricated stories about the Bedouins and in particular disrespecting me as the leader of the Bedouin.  I ask that anyone seeking information to come directly to me and ask me personally for the truth.  The truth is my sword!
