Rejoicing Unity

Seventy Fourth Hiqba Following the Revelations of Occulem, Second Mahj

As spread in cheer and laughter

Relief washes over the denizens of the marshlands following a successful and decisive stroke against the faithless upstarts within the eastern territories, both the Sultan and his new fast friend Emir Jabir claiming much distinguishment during the small clashes that unfolded even once within sight of fabled Ruya's walls. The remaining leaders of this unrest were granted the divine mercy of the reeds and swampwater so as to cleanse their lungs in purified passing, with His Magnanimity claiming "Where once they thrashed, they now know almighty peace."

Such gruesome business had scarcely dampened the lifted spirits throughout the realm however, as following these prudent skirmishes was the leal duty of the Emir rewarded in the fulfilling of his only request - the union of his line with that of the great Yallac dynasty. The Sultan in his sound judgement choosing to wed Jabir's daughter, the Sayeda Halima in a majestic ceremony officiated by the viziers within Neazima Temple. Much song resonated against the pristine walls of the holy place as they were bound beneath the gaze of Paratis for all time.

Meanwhile the most notable of absences to these proceedings was that of Sarir Sultana, the sister of the courageous monarch having instead been the source of much fanfare and commotion in recent weeks for the imposed administration over several bilum establishments. Receiving considerable praise for the significant increase in profits under her watch, this lauding is rumoured to have earned her the colourful moniker of Sarir "Yadis", a phrase that in its kindest attributing equates to mastery in the domain of smoking a bilum pipe.
