HoHaZu annual meeting discusses Celtic Protectorate
NUC, 20th December
During their Membership Congress, the Board of the HoHaZu
[1] has surprised it's Members with revealing they took King Heydar of Royal Seleucid up on his offer to be International Observers.
After some, according to the written Protocol, shouting by the Members, the Board began their Report with stating the exiting potential of Costumers. Stating that while the Seleucid are valuing Craftsmanship and intricate designs, they also Value sturdiness instead of Plastic throwaway, and struggling with supplying themselves with true high value Furniture and Woodwork, citing the Report:
"They use wood a lot, but the Desert shape of the Land has left their Woodworkers to mostly produce functionality, lacking the aesthetics their Jewelers and Masons provide. We think there is a market of high value, Ecological yet still Luxurious items that we could provide."
The report continued with slide shows about living conditions, hospitality, and other details that one of the disgruntled members called 'Guided Tourist Vacation Photos'
To this point, while controversial, the Report mostly painted a positive Picture of the Progression. The real outcry came when the Report finished with the following Sentiment:
"After observing the People living in the Protectorate, the Real Problem we see is something the King won't be able to Solve. His Father and Brother have left him an issue that he will unwillingly pass down to his own Son, and maybe even to his future Grandchildren. The Cultists in the Protectorate aren't Morelanders. They Dress like Seleucid, they dislike the Iwi like Seleucid, they Cook like Seleucid. They are Seleucid Cultists, not Morelanders. But they have lost faith not in their Gods, but their Kings. They faced hostility recently due to the Kings late Brother, and faced Genocid due to, what many felt like, the shortcomings of the late King Akainos. King Heydar stands at the Fragmented Trust he started to Piece back together, and while many seem to be Hopeful, they just can'T shake the dread of the Past. He has fixed the Pieces to his best ability, but this Generation will see the Cracks till their Death. Cultists and non Cultists in the Protectorate alike.
But, and this is a big but, King Heydar is the only one, or rather him as a Symbol of his Nation, that can heal this Wound on the Long run. These People all are Seleucid, they want to trust again, but just can't. And only a unified Seleucid can mend the Rift for the Generation to be Born if they Work, and can work, together."
At that point, the Report was cut short by Several Members of the HoHaZu shouting at each other, forcing the rest of the Report to be published online.
The Palace and the Senate have both issued a short Statement, stating that the HoHaZu are entitled to their Opinion, and while they don't share the sentiment, they urge the Senators and Speakers to actually read the Report and not act on hearsay in the upcoming weeks of regular Debates.
Prince Augustin rushed to Hospital
NUC, 20.12.
The Prince has been rushed into Hospital with Sirens in the Evening after, according to Palace staff, he felt suddenly unwell. Details have not been given yet on the details, just that he isn't in immediate Danger at this point of Time, but that he will most likely spent the Festival of Love at the Hospital due to needing constant observation.
The Emperor, visibly shaken, has made a statement from the Palace after visiting the Hospital:
"Augustin will need rest and treatment. I hope you can understand we won't disclose the Nature of his Condition right now for Privacy and other Reasons. He will not be alone during the Festival, and i will Visit him. I will ask any Reporters to make Appointments with the Palace about him and not try and sweet talk the Hospital staff. If anyone does, i can assure you, you'd prefer to Deal with Malcom Tucker, instead of me."
This seems to be a reference to Morelands's Palace Press Staff, infamous for his colorful Language when dealing with Reporters.
