Interview with Perdan's new king: ][osferatu Reapers 6 December 1011
Much alike our interview with his highness king Talius back at the end of October getting a journalist into Perdan’s capitol on coronation day proved exceedingly difficult. Partora was extremely busy with government officials working overtime to both organise the front and the necessary paperwork for their new head of state.
Nevertheless, when our group finally convinced the guards that we were not spies from Ibladesh and got inside the building, Perdan’s new king in a brief meeting assured us he’d send New Westmoor some answers to our nagging questions and here they are today!
1: Ibladesh is apparently going to form a new realm out of the duchy of Semall. Will you recognise this new realm’s sovereignty or will you see it as part of Ibladesh?
As long as they don't follow the Church of Ibladesh and are friendly towards us they have nothing to fear from Perdan. The south needs new realms.
2: Does Ibladesh itself have a future?
That depends on them and what sacrifices they are willing to make in order to survive. They have harmed Perdan to a great extent this time - especially the Duchy of Aix and this won't go unpunished. Time is running out for them though and is only working against them as I will not hold back my armies until they make up their minds. If their death comes before their senses then so be it.
3: King Nightmare is well we trust and departed the throne on good terms?
He is in excelent condition. He just wanted to take life easier, away from politics. All of us in Perdan respect his choice as we respect everything he has done for our realm. He stepped down on the best of terms and notified us in time so that there will not be a gap in the realm's leadership during the election period. He remains a close friend and a trusty advisor.
4: What, if anything, will you be doing differently from your predecessor?
As I said, Nightmare is a dear friend of mine throughout the years. Our opinions and view on EC's politics do not differ much so don't expect any big changes in diplomacy. Maybe a harsher stance towards Ibladesh - the word "peace" cannot be mentioned before they pay for what they did. Other than that, relations with the other realms remain as they are and in some cases they may even improve.
5: Caligus and Perdan have enjoyed a good healthy alliance throughout this war. Have there been any discussions regarding territories (i.e. do you see it as being straightforward who gets what regions when this all comes to an end?)
There's nothing official yet, some talks have started and this is only my 2nd day as King. The discussions are going well though. Perdan is not interested in expanding and taking regions that were never ours. We will reclaim our lost lands - and there aren't so many of them left - and that will be all. We'll see with King Dobromir what will become with the rest.
6: Do you have any preferred candidates for your former position (judge)?
Sir Mikial who has also served as Perdan's General in the past is the only candidate and he also has my full support.
