The Ireem Chronicles

Day of Raids Shakes City, and slavers are now own/protecting Bedouins?

The City of Ireem saw little peace Tuesday, as several raids were carried out against several of the tribes.

The battles began late in the day as the Dark Knights, with the help of two or more Djinn, sacked the Bedouin camp and claimed one of their crystals. A witness at the scene said that the camp had been largely empty at the time, and there were no major injuries.

Barely a few minutes later the pattern was repeated, this time with the Djinn launching an attack on an empty Pirate Slaver camp. A number of the Slavers were conducting business at the auction platform, but were either unaware of the attack or unable to respond in time.

Unlike the day's earlier raid, the profit of the attack against the Pirate camp went to the Merfolk.

It is believed that there was an additional raid against the Pirate camp later, but it is unclear whether the raid was successful.

However, the Pirates and Bedouin did not allow the attacks to go unanswered. In the early hours of the morning. a party of members from both tribes ambushed the home of the Merfolk and reclaimed the crystal that had been stolen.

A Pirate Slaver named Eve, who we spoke to at the Pirate camp after the conclusion of the raid, told us happily, "We got our crystal back. Flea stole it yesterday for them. They seem not capable to do their raids alone and need the cowardly four races alliance."

The alliance she referred to is believed to be between the Djinn, Undead, Dark Knights, and Merfolk. While no formal contract exists codifying this partnership, the leader of the Djinn, Queen Indigo, said that their relationships--particularly with the Undead--run deep.

In response, the Pirates and Bedouin seem to have formed their own alliance. Eve told us, "We are forced to help each other even if we would prefer to enslave the lovely Bedus." But, facing an allied enemy, "we have to get some help as well."

Those we spoke to at the Pirate camp seemed unconcerned about the possibility of retaliation, and instead promised further raids of their own: "Until we own all crystals, yes. Just the [Bedouin] will be safe."
