The Ireem Chronicles

The War began with battle cries of the races across the sands and soon enough a few squeaks comparable to that of the cute desert frog is heard as we see a swarm of female warriors charging forth with much fervour towards the handful of men who dared to take up their challenge!

Sisterhood of the Sands united , young undead charged forth to more than he could handle?

  Applauds to the cunning war strategy of devious pirate Olaf who seemed to be more covered up than usual, perhaps a disguise to throw off the opponent?  He and another called Jordan, would snake around the city enclaves and surprise attack the women searching for the few good men, which was hard to spot, and their small numbers actually benefit them in the fight.

  One or two enthusiastic young undeads on the other hand were chased down by the ladies and soon captured and brought to the auction area to await their fate.  It did take a few ladies to one to win that fight, but yes, the ladies won.

Olaf hiding in heavy disguise and on library rooftop , beating down each woman that managed to reach him , Pan defeated him!

  Victory did not come easy though, the ladies had to scale the high walls of the city and even up the rooftops to get to the hiding pirates.  We heard a loud scream of frustration as the undead Faathima climbed her way up there to eventually get beaten and captured by the ruthless old pirate Olaf.  It took a while as Olaf fought off the ladies one after another who managed to finally reach him at the library rooftop, until he was finally defeated in the hands of the bedouin Pan!

Wyld the event organiser, the captured awaits their fate or tried to escape..Olaf disappeared!

  And then there was just only one man left to deal with before the few ladies who survived thus far could claim victory!  Jordan the other pirate who most likely devised the battle strategy with Olaf, was also hiding out at a rooftop, the Magi Tower..if Granny was around she would have invited him in to her chamber for a good spanking!  We saw the last few ladies standing fight hard to get to him and then it was the Bedouin Covery who took him down with an arrow to the chest!

Leah and her food..prey ..um captive !  Think he just noticed her sharp mer teeth!

  Amidst the chirpy victory chatters, we saw threats of future mayhem and even outward flirting in a last effort to wriggle out of captivity.  The beautiful mer princess warrior Leah had her belt leashed tightly around her victim's neck and dragged him towards the mer isle, it would be interesting to know what ensued from there...perhaps Editor has plans to send a good swimmer to interview lady Leah? Please..consider good swimmers!

War of the Sexes

It seems that rowdy group of ladies that has gathered together
has challenged the males of Ireem to a war.  Ladies against the men, a true War of the Sexes.

The battle is set for 9 am slt  on Sunday July 21, 2013.
All are to meet at the auction area for last minute instructions and rules of combat.

Who will come out on top... err.. be victorious??

No auctioning off the captives, but time spent with them will be judged by an independent panel to see who has talent in here other than swinging their sword.

Will the ladies over run the men and have bragging rights??

Will the men be up to the challenge by the ladies??

Show up and help your gender.

If you need more information please talk to Elusive Cristole (Wyld).

A smokeless fire, brought by an unusual stream of air floats into the Chronicles office, materializing herself in a blueish winged female body.  In a painless move she plucks a feather from her left wing, she sinks its point in the ink bottle and starts writing on the parchment over the table. Words about a new clan for the Djinn kind.

To all old and new Djinn of Ireem,

A new clan is open for recruitment in the Realm. We are the Kosmischen Reich Clan.

A clan for all those who are born from the elements as we are part of nature as much as it is part of us.

Our goal should be to archive Mastery of all the elements, so in the end one could finally control the cosmic powers to better aid our race.

Hereby our covenant:

- Our kin comes first, no one stands above a djinn regardless of rank
- The interests of the clan should always be in your mind, regardless of the opinions of others.
- Contribute as much as you can to our treasure, help us archive our goals.

If thses are in accordance with your goals, do join us.

You can contact our leader Honld (honld resident) or me. We will welcome and help all that are truly interested in having fun reinforcing the power and reputation of our kin.

Co-Leader

Chronicles: Tala Queen Ianira. When you are not playing crystal swap, or dealing with the "joys" of being a leader, how do you relax?

Ianira: I truly to get joy from leading my kin and guiding merfolk who are young or new to our waters.  They always have such a great spirit to them, each and every one unique and fascinating, which really inspires me and leads to many a great adventures both at sea and on land.  Though, I suppose when I want just kick back from it all, I enjoy just relaxing with a bottle of saltwater champagne, playing my drums and talking gossip with my kin.  Oh yes, and scavenging for shinies and other things to adorn myself with. Hmmmm shinies....

If you were not a leader, what other passions would you pursue?

Well, I was crowned  to this position at a very young age and, minus a few short absences, have held this position ever since. Because of this, it is hard for me to imagine any other life path for myself, really.   I suppose with less responsibility, I would have more time for evil deeds and mischief, with much less repercussion.

What is the oddest thing you carry around on your person?

Clothing.

Do you have a favorite part of Ireem? Or do you prefer the waves?

There is no place in these lands better than the Isle of mer, it is so beautiful and peaceful...and is inhabited by the best-looking creatures in all the land.  However, from time to time there are a couple of places that I like to go to be alone with my thoughts, but if I revealed them on your newspaper and people found out, I likely wouldn't enjoy them anymore.

You mean the four readers that we have? Surely you are not worry that four people invade your space?

*Shock!* FOUR? Your editor told me that you have millions and millions of readers!

You should ignore him. We all do that in the office. Anyway... Pet peeves, everyone has them. Ccare tell a few of yours?

I really don't have too many things that bother me.  Lets see, intruders in my waters, women who don't think for themselves and act like they are lesser beings, low tides, sand in the scales, starfish tanlines,  landwalker clothes, the color brown, and....being asked to share my shinies.

You're one of the more stylish leaders of Ireem, how do you keep up that amazing look?

*Preens and lifts her chin* Well, not much of my 'look' can usually be attributed to clothing,as I really avoid having to put on those awful, itchy things.  However, all merfolk are stunningly beautiful, as I am sure you know.  We are just born this way. As far as how we keep our youthful beauty over our very ling lifespans?  Well, very few live to tell how we achieve this.  Oh and seaweeds. I think they help with keeping the skin look good. But you need to eat them raw, with all the slimy goodies.

And finally! Last question.... what inspires you as a leader?

It is my family, my kin, that inspire me.  I was born and raised in these waters, and have battled through many challenges, as well as times of great wealth and enchantment in our waters.  I strive to keep the culture and values of our beautiful and mysterious society alive and well.  We may be of a smaller presence in Ireem than other beings, but we are defintely the prettiest. And we are strong because we have a bond and care for eachother that not many others have. 

Group Leader Elections

Ireem Elections

It is time to vote for your Group Leaders.  Office Cat went poking her paw in the voting boxes and found at most twenty-four votes in one box, the least being Palace Guard with just one voting ticket.  It seems most people are more concerned with making money, for the voting boxes for Carpet Store, Blacksmith Ownership and Law Offices were filled with over a hundred votes each!

WAKE UP Ireem!  Take this leadership election seriously and vote for your leader.  Your group's survival is at risk if you should care!  Do not let the beautiful facade fool you, if you have been in this land long enough, you know well enough it is quite a feat to survive the volatile weather and no less the volatile ties and alliances between the inhabitants.

Make your way to cast your votes now, and support the leaders who are willing to put their life on the line and take the heat to safeguard your survival!  And to each and everyone of you participating in the elections, you are most welcomed to send in your Election Statements, or contact us for an interview, allow your people to make the right choice!

Dear Bedouin brothers and sisters,

My reasons for running as Bedouin leader are many. I have been in these sands for quite a time, and my heart has always burnt with a strong passion for my kin. I have followed my leaders closely and during my time here in Ireem  I have observed and learned a lot. Now I feel the time is right to step up and help my people on the way forward.

If you give me your vote, be sure that I’ll continue in the same spirit as our former beloved leaders Velvet Hamelin and Pan latte; like them I will work hard to strengthen and unite our people. Lately the undeads, djinns and other dark beings have increased dramatically in numbers, and the pirate slavers once again chase our women like they used to do before the alliance was made. I believe that I have the experience, the passion and the drive to do lead our people and to empower us to stand strong against our enemies! I will strive to uphold our values and I will take specific actions in order to reach our goals, such as clan leader meetings, training and mentoring of new players and more. I want every clan to be included in important matters and decisions made for our family.

So, brothers and sisters of the strong and fierce tribes of Simoon, Sharifa, Najdi, Abd-Al-Aziz and Zafirah, it's time for Bedouins to rise once again and take domain of this land.  Chose me as your leader and we’ll work together to build up our family so Bedouins once again become a force to be reckoned with!

VOTE FOR KAYA BLINKER Good Knights Tavern

Dear People of Ireem

  It's voting time again and I (KAYA Blinker) am running for the ownership of the Good Knights Tavern.

  I joined the city of Ireem as a knight and worked under some great leaders , Catherine, Tamer and Brandon. I left the Knights to become a Palace Guard under the command of Cara but was forced to leave when Pirates Pressed ganged me to join for a short time ..Cara would not let me return to guards believing I was infected or something. After many months I returned to the Royal Guards with Joris as Co-Commander.

  At this time the people or Ireem voted me to own the Blacksmiths which I have done for a while but my  term is up there and time to pass onto another .

  Also now I am retired from the Royal guards and my dream to live out my Retirment is to Run and own the Good Knights Tavern. As I have alway worked to protect  both the city and the palace , I feel it is now time to enjoy the company of the people of Ireem. To provide them with the Best Wines and Beers I have been able to aquire with my contacts to the Royal palace and of course the finest Blood for those who require this sustanance.

  I therefor Ask you all to Vote for KAYA Blinker as owner of the Good knights tavern
Free drinks all round for a week  If I win!

It had been yet another typical evening in Ireem. The market place was busy with people selling everything from bread to human lives. I spent most of the evening quietly observing with the hopes of catching something news worthy... but nothing amazing occurred.

  So, I returned to the office to feed the cats and to later fall asleep on one of Kito's naughty books. But as I entered, I heard the sound of someone approaching behind me. The figure was dressed in black rob. Saying nothing, they simply handed me a dusty scroll.

  I took a moment to unroll the parchment, but when I looked up the figure had vanished! I decided to read over this scroll. I personally hoped this one had nothing to do with the crystal nonsense that this writer wants no part of -- regardless of what race it hails from.

  In the scroll was a prophecy! No, it did not foretell the palace being overrun by giant spotted purple peacocks, but something far worse. One of which I will share with Ireem:

A prediction from the great Magi Akhsup'ah.

The dark will take control
And the sun will fail to rise!
Through the night and into the day
This evil you must despise will arise
On the night of a full blood red moon, 
A great fire shall decent from the heavens.
A massive orb with a tale of blue and purple
Flame shall rain down chaos.
Many a life shall come to end,
This city will crumble under the chaos!
The gods must be appeased to prevent damnation!
The umber dove will finally waver just outside a city in the age of royalty.

  While I personally don't believe this. I'll leave a small offering to Oceanius! All of Ireem should take the time to offer something small to the gods or goddesses of your people. It could very well prevent the end! Or at least give you something to do with the extra rum found in a random jar. Because the last time I checked, Ireem doesn't need more drunks.

Our Sultana Zanlu made an announcement to celebrate unity and peace in the Kingdom after the successful trial of battling the plague monks.  It was quite a feat indeed to fight those three powerful plague monks, and surprising the likes of the rebellious evil dark knights did not take the opportunity to destroy the rest of the kingdom and in fact helped defeat the plague monks too. Even though their leader and most of the dark knights were told to boycott the event. For the occasion, the doors of the palace was open to all for a day, and visitors welcomed as friends to enjoy the best food and drinks, and the following evening a Masquerade Ball.

You can run but when love finds you, cupid's golden arrow will at least graze you if not gift you with a leash ..um ..a full fledged intrusion on your heart.  We see several coupling at this Masquerade Ball, refreshing sight from the usual pool of shy awkward individuals with two left feet..   Perhaps it was Cupid's magic that maintained no combat over the celebrations, and hopefully it was not mischiefs but true pairings be it lovers or friends.

Lady Soh Berry did a great job with the decorations creating a beautiful romantic atmosphere for us, coupled with Lady Raven's team of the best musicians, making it all a perfect atmosphere for love.  Everyone looked gorgeous dancing in a sea of pink and reds, it was a lovely sight to behold and our artists have captured as many pictures possible of the bosom-baring beauties at the party.  (to please our Editor for a well-deserved bonus, yes?)

Enjoy the paintings!

Business Experience: Managed a number of business in Ireem, first the Blues Lagoon, and then the Dolphin Baths, and the Slave's Head Tavern as co-owner with Am Demina.

Business Philosophy: Running a business is a fun and satisfying way to stay busy in Ireem, to make a few coins and to socialize with all peoples.

Business Plans: Planning special events is part of the requirement for business management. Events will include :

- Musician's Nights, with the tavern as a performance platform for the many talented musicians here in Ireem.

Co-Owner: Currently no propects for co-owner and will let fate lead the right person to the team.

Security: Powers to call on a powerful friend most any time should there be rowdy patrons to deal with.

Fateema's appeal to Voters: 

"My promotional sign suggests I am fun- friendly - and professional. The tavern will be open to and welcome all and hopefully be a meeting place for all types in Ireem to gain a friendly ground. Under my management the tavern would not be known as exclusive to one group or the other - it will be the tavern where everybody knows you by name and is a friend."

"I may add that I am not partisan in any way - all are welcome and none will be shunned - my wisdom is ancient and my heart is pure - I wish only the best for all citizens of Ireem"

vote Fateema

My dear subjects,

  It is a great pleasure for me to announce that Prince Randdom Ivercourt has joined the Palace.
He is here to finish his important studies on the behavior of the various races and their customs. When he return at his home he will be appointed the Personal Counselor by my old brother Cozan, Sultan of the distant land of Bytwan.

  If you meet Prince Randdom, give him a warm welcome and be available to his questions: it is for the scientific progress.

  I bless you all.
