| Ambassador of the Zuma Coalition | |
| 7 December 12YD | Karana Tian |
| Over the time I've been in Caerwyn, there has always been a lot of interest in the Zuma Coalition, yet few solid answers. Today, I hope that changes. By a stroke of luck I was able to ask a couple questions to the Ambassador of the Zuma Coalition, Garret Artemesia. One of those answers I am sharing with you all here today, with his permission of course. I asked him if he would be willing to describe the culture of the Zuma. And here is his answer:
The culture of the Zuma is rather complex and difficult to describe just in words, especially since you and, I would expect most of your readers, have not observed their lives on a personal level. There are, to be certain, visitors from the outside, but the most they find are usually traces and hints of life, but otherwise emptiness. This is not unique to the Zuma culture though, as even among outlanders there are different cultures that might be difficult to describe to one who has never lived closely with said people. For example, it is not unthinkable that a Madinan would not understand Thulsoman culture. About two weeks ago I led a tour of Nightmarch to some invited guests, allowing them to see some aspects of Zuma life. Perhaps some of them would be willing to share their experiences. Among those you might know is Constantine Meneldur of D'Hara, a priest of Sanguis Astroism. As far as conveniences and occupations are concerned, there is not much different from what you have. The Zuma have priests and warriors and craftspeople, artisans, musicians, merchants, scholars. I believe the major difference would be the appearance, which mostly has to do with the climate here. There is religion here, which does not take the form of religion you might be used to. There are gender roles by tradition, but as well the society is matriarchal. The short answer would be that you really would need to get a close look, but as of now, I will be entertaining guests for only a few more weeks before stopping any new invitations for a while to focus on renovations. | |

| Couple referendums to report on this week! First and foremost we have the Competition of the Magistrate, otherwise and more boringly known as the Election of the Next High Magistrate. While there were only two candidates, the current High Magistrate stood his ground and came out victorious.
The Results for the Competition of the Magistrate:
Also this week, we have the election to choose the first Caerwynian Lord of Uppervia. Four different candidates entered the running, with varying degrees of times in realm, service histories, and backgrounds. Some relied on their intentions and goals, others relied on their past experiences. Who will be victorious? Well, you're reading the right issue! The Results for the Choosing the First Caerwynian Lord of Uppervia:
