News Interview with Evangeline Uceek, Queen of Perdan We have been working our behinds off here at the II to get an interview with the queen of Perdan, who has finally responded after a busy time with diplomatic talks and peace proposals. Do you plan to work with Clarissa during your term as queen? Most definitely! Clarissa is a strong and intelligent woman. She is still has a place on the Perdan Senate and is contributing a lot to the leadership of Perdan. We have always been, and will continue to be, close friends. How is the peace process going? Any thoughts on it? The peace process for Perdan is going well. Pontifex Sorcha is very communicative and wants peace and if Fontan accepts that Perdan has satisfied almost all realms, peace will emerge. How do you feel about Itorunt? Itorunt is a realm of honour that has selflessly stood by its allies and always kept its word. I would commended Itorunt for its honour and their greedless behavior in all of their wars. What is your stance on the Avamar Selective? Fighting on two fronts has left little time for Perdan to consider the situation in the north, however feelings for Avamar correspond to the fact that they have taken over Perdan's joint effort with OR to establish a realm. At the moment, Perdan has not responded to the situation, but if King Dekion asks our help he will probably have it as he is a friend to Perdan. Do you know any Itorunt troop leaders? If so, how do you feel about them? My home has always been Perdan and so regretably I haven't had much contact outside of my realm. King Lucian is a strong leader, honourable and an individual thinker. He has been one of the greatest contributers to the peace process. Former son of Perdan, Olorin, has spoken highly of Winfred (Editors note: assumed Wilfred) and Duke Robert, as well as Valdid and Celeste who have helped him and made him feel welcome in his new home. At the moment I don't know many Itorunt TLs, but I am looking forward to a future in which I can enjoy meeting and getting to know more. How do you think Perdan is doing? Any plans for the near future (if you're willing to share them)? I cannot predict the future for Perdan. The East Continent is a big island where everything constantly changes. I can say however, that Perdan will continue to base its actions on honour and helping friends. We have and always will be loyal to good friends. Once peace has been establish Perdan is planning on holding a huge tournament to thank the realms that have participated in the peace, especially Itorunt of course. Nighmare, Duke of Perdan plans to marry Lady Stefany (sister-in-law to Pontifex Sorcha) at the tournament and it is their wish to invite the whole continent to their marriage. And course there will be plenty of pies available for those who have a liking for them. :P Evangeline Queen of Perdan Pies for Ichigo! --San Alex Avenged The Itorunt army stationed in Abadan moved as one - literally everyone moved - to Supra, where they engaged 2K CS of the Caligan rearguard. Caligan nobles who fought that day, we salute you for facing so many with so little. Some lesser men would have fled or tried to evade at the sight of Itorunt's army, but you stood and fought against the odds. Much to our surprise, the Caligan nobles stood their ground in the face of Itorunt's might of 12K CS. Many Caligan nobles were wounded in this battle, and Brian, a newer noble on the island from what I'm told, died fighting gallantly. When we talked and gave the body to the Caligus nobles heading to Domus, they told us what had happened during the battle: They said that when the first wave of Itorunt steel came raining from the sky, Brian saved the men in his unit by having them raise their shields, but could not raise his own before the arrows fell among the living. But even with an arrow in his sword arm, he fought when Itorunt and Yssarian infantry climbed over their makeshift defenses and charged into the enemy, who perished to the last man except for Brian's unit. With his life as a sacrifice, he saved those under his command so that they could live, but they chose out of love for their commander to die by his side. Hopefully with the coming battles, no other nobles will die in battle before peace, a peace which has long been awaited and comes closer every day. We honor the memories of former High Marshal Alex, Sir Brian (a knight of Domus), and all the other nobles who have lost their life in the Great War. --Valdid New Issue with a New Editor It's October, and I, as the new editor get stuck with the job of buying everyone drinks, and also kicking the new issue off. In the news, I personally am at the tournament of KI and am proving myself to be the most skilled swordsman there beyond any reasonable doubt. All Itoruntians (or any others that think they can stand up to it) are welcomed to a drinking competition. Please send applications to Blaine and San at the tournament, along with a round of drinks. I hope to keep the news coming, with the style that only the family of the founders possesses. --San
