The Ireem Chronicles

Tonight the Chronicles will begin our coverage of the Knights Leader Election. The first special feature is the interview of one of our candidate, Mathias Brucato, who share with us his vision and ideals of being the Imperator.


*********************

Sir Mathias, welcome to the Chronicles. For the benefits of our readers, would you like to say a few things to introduce yourself?

Some of you know me, and some of you do not. I am from the House of Brucato. As we knights are all foreign, I came from a land past the pangaean sea in hopes to bring honor, glory and profit to my family, and in so doing also make a name for myself as an honorable dutiful Brucato.

Thank you. Now maybe you can tell us a bit about how you would take on the role of Imperator, if you win the election?

Some doubtlessly are asking, what is an Imperator? It's a good place to begin. The Imperator is there for all the knights, to make decisions (one assumes sound decisions) for the group as a unit. It is their duty to strengthen unit cohesion, and to rely on the strengths of each knight in furthering the goals of chivalry. Each Imperator must strive to be better than the last, embracing change and looking for new ideas from those whom he or she leads. And to lead is primarily to assist, to assist individual knights in becoming their best, that their individual successs unite to make one strong fighting force.

I would not pretend that I have the solutions to all the problems. Presently, we place far too much emphasis on solving problems through combat. While combat is certainly important, as Imperator I would like to bring an even more important change. To a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And yet there are those amongst us who have a cleaner and more nuanced view of situations we daily face. Those are the more diplomatic amongst us, whose skills must be valued and nurtured, for it is often diplomacy which dissolves enemies and constant warfare.

As some of us have notice, the knights are currently operate in factions. How would you utilise this unique setup?

As Imperator, I will govern the knights in three very distinct factions, based on what their inclinations are on the combat-diplomacy continuum. The factions will not mean a hard-division, but a soft division of labor, one in which occasional overlapping is acceptable.

Being a knight in this city is certainly not an easy job. What is your aspiration as a knight? What were you hoping to achieve?

As knights, we are a noble community, and as such it is absolutely necessary that we respect fellow knights in the their conduct of justice, in the styles appropriate for them. It is also important that we respect rank, for without it unity and cohesion is not possible. If I should be so fortunate as to be elected as head of the knights, I am eager to work with the people of Ireem who walk in the light to bring them justice which they sorely need, and am equally eager to bring to those who walk in the dark some dark places where they can in chains ponder their conduct. Their deeds must not go unconfronted, and it is the duty of every knight to see the innocent free from fear.

Lastly, maybe you can sum up your campaign with one simple statement?

We exist to serve and obey the Sultana, but I sometimes feel that we knights forget that in her absence we are the law, we are her arms and her will, and justice must be served to the full and to the last. Our combatants will use force when necessary, and our more politically astute knights will improve our image as a whole, as they serve us well in solving disputes in less hostile terms when possible. That is my solemn promise as your Imperator if you see it fit to elect me.

As a lot of you aware, the Knights Leader position has become vacant. Since there is a gag order issued in discussing the subject, the Chronicles is unable to shed any details as to why the position has been vacant.

However, all organisation needs a leader and the palace has decided that there will be a democratic election amongst the knights to establish the next knight leader. Over the course of the next few days, the Chronicles will interview some of the candidates who would like to talk about why they are the suitable person to be the Leader, in the run up to the election. We will also bring you special reports including profile of these candidates.

Naturally, not everyone will like to come forward to speak to us. but we hope that those who do, would use the opportunity to tell the citizens of Ireem their vision and aspiration.

The Chronicles can report that the Naked Bandits has return, and this time, with penis!

********************************


According to witnesses in Ireem, a naked bandit was seen running and chasing innocent women in the city at night. Whether this latest incident is related to the Naked Bandits who terrorised the city a while ago cannot be confirm at the time of the press. However, thanks to a painting that was provide to our reporter, we can understand that the bandit this time was indeed a man, as he was desperately trying to prove as seen on the painting.

A small rewards has been issued for anyone with information relating to this incident. As usual the knights spokeperson has made no comment, probably too busy trying to deal with the recent influx of undead and their application of work permits in the city.

Citizen of Ireem..... locked you men up because the Cranky Granny has struck again!

The Chronicles can report that an alleged incident has occurred tonight in the knights HQ.

An well known and respected elder lady was attacked inside of the Knights HQ. Accompanying her was her granddaughter who was then attacked by a knight goes by the name H**za.

According to the eyewitness reports, the ladies were inside the knight HQ when the first attack happened. The elder of the two ladies is well over three hundred years old and she was knock almost unconscious, with number of wounds across her body, according to the physician who treated them. While a lady knight captain was dealing with that incident a Knight H**za was seen hitting the young woman and knocking her onto the floor.

An eyewitness has kindly provided us a painting of what happened inside.

Also, according to the witness, the same knight also offered the commander a blow in exchange for a promotion.

The chronicles tried to contact a Knights spokesperson, but no comment has been made so far. We will keep you updated with this news item.

This is a special notice to all the citizen of Ireem

During the last few days, there were two incidents of theft that happened in the Chronicle's office. The printing staff who were working at the time have identified the thieves as Melianthe and Meya Silverfall. The amount stolen was not large since we don't keep much money in the cash till in our office. The funds were actually to buy food for the cats and kittens in the office. Because of this horrid crime, the family of kittens who are staying in the office will be left to starve for a few days until the staff in the office can manage to collect some donations from a few kind souls who heard about their suffering.

Therefore, we are announcing that a bounty is now being issued for the two despicable criminals. Anyone who manages to capture the two thieves will be rewarded a special painting from our artist and editor, as well as any income that might generate from auctioning those two criminals.

The Chronicle's staff wishes you all happy hunting!

The Chronicles can report that a large quantity of scrolls were discovered today in the desert near the ruins. The huge volumn of scrolls were found by two travelers and were delivered to the Chronicles office. The first impression is that the scrolls were stolen by runaway slave who abandoned them in the desert during the escape.

Upon the intitial inspection, the scrolls were records of a varying nature, from a number of sources. They contain information and revealations of senstive nature dated back to a few years ago and some as recent as last week. Obviously, it will take some time for the Chronicles staff to go through these documents and upon discussing with various interested parties, we will start to publish some of these documents that are of interest to Ireem's citizens.

Further details will be released relating to this story.

Here are two upcoming events for the good citizens of Ireem.

--------------------------------------------

(Little Chat) Well, Velvet. Welcome to the Chronicles. How are you today?

(Velvet) *smiles sweetly as she lifts her hand and sweeps her fringe away from her forehead slowly* I’m very well and yourself?

Very good. You have recently become the Leader of the Simoon Clan. Tell us a bit more about that?

*smiles proudly* We a small clan but we strive on honesty, loyalty and most of all dedication to each other and to other deserving people

Let's move on from the introductory question and cut to something that our reader will be interested it. Would you have go out on a date with Knight Commander Ash, if it's for say a charitable cause?"

*giggles* It would have to be a very special charity close to my heart, so the answer to that questions will be yes if it suits my requirements

Would the requirements including Ash must take a bath before and tied his hands behind his back during the whole time?

No the first requirements would be that he is no longer a married man and yes he could do with a bath

Let's move on to the next subject. You are widely considered as one of the nicest person in Ireem. What is the meanest thing you've ever done to anyone in here?

Teasing the Knights? *giggle* I once peed in their pot in front of the headquarters? i don’t know, there are too many to think of right now

Did you get caught?

No it was just my sisters Juliet and Stardust, we were slightly intoxicated at the time

Let's move on to your friends then. You have many friends in the city, at least judging from the number of people who claimed to be your friends. But you if you can only invite 3 of them for dinner, who would they be?"

Icy, Sonya and Juliet

And would you cook or would you order the kebab from the Fatted Calf

Ooh I would definitely cook a hearty meal for them with lots of good rum and I might even get some slave men to entertain us while we eat

Speaking of cooking, what is your favourite dish to cook?

My best dish to cook would be camelstew

Would you say cooking is more challenging than fighting the slavers?

Oh yes definitely, the slavers are a breeze

What would you consider as an ideal night out in Ireem?

I would like all the men oiled, with their hands tied behind their backs and on their knees, with a few to serve us woman drinks, lots of rum, good music and heirija must be wafting through the streets

if we are to make a play about your life, who would you like to play your character in the play?

I would think Sonya

If you could have a magical power for one day, what would that be?

That the storm clouds would rain down hearts with bows wrapped around them and fill the streets of Ireem with love and peace

Fish or Lamb?

Fish

Tall man or Short man?

Tall

Children, boy or girl?

Girl

if you get trap in a boat, slaver or undead as companion

Neither

Well thank you very much for taking time speaking to us

*Giggles* Thank you for your time

Exclusive: The Palace has announced the engagement of Princess Lillie and Prince Fy

The Ireem Chronicles are excited to reveal that our beloved Princess Lillie will be marrying Prince Fy in March later this year.

Speaking at the Palace in the city, the soon-to-be couple said that they were “thrilled and delighted” at the prospect and that counting down to the big day would be the most painful wait (Obviously the Prince and Princess never needed to queue for bread in the city before.)

When spoken to, her majesty the Sultana said she was also “absolutely delighted” at the news. During a meeting with your correspondent who congratulated her on the news, her majesty said, “It is brilliant news, and hopefully we will bring some loving and joyful moments for the city as well as our family,” and predicted a “great day of celebration in Ireem.”

Several leaders and important members of the court also echoed the sentiment.

Full details of the wedding plans have yet to be announced. The official statement only said the wedding will take place on the 12th of March in the city of Ireem. A beach party has not yet been ruled out.
