'I have returned:' Sieo named Primogen of The Forsaken Clan
|
 Primogen Sieo toasts with the reporter to the success of Forsaken Clan at a table in the Inn of Iniquity.
The Forsaken Clan, nestled in the heart of Nagnang, is a historic faction in the nation. The current Primogen of the clan, Sieo, is a familiar name in the kingdom's annals, and knows well the pertinence of the land and its culture. To celebrate her homecoming and return to the leadership position of her clan, the reporter was invited to the Inn of Iniquity for tea and an interview on the topic.
Here's a name straight from Nagnang's history books. Good afternoon, Primogen Sieo. How has your first day holding the staff been, and what's going through your mind right now? Good afternoon! Well, if we're jumping right into it like that, I'll just say it's been a lot of reading and catching up on things, but I'm excited to step into the position once again. As for what's going through my mind... Recent history, thoughts on organization, and what I can do for the clan and the lands as a whole.
If memory serves, this is your second time holding this position. What sort of leadership style do you see yourself having? It's my second time being Forsaken's leader, yes. As to what style I'll be using, I'll honestly have to feel that out. Things have changed a lot in these lands, and my previous style and methods probably are not going to be well-received this time around.
Things likely have evolved over the years as a whole in the community, as well. What sort of vision would you have for your clan at present? I'm guessing that would be similar to every other clan leader - to follow our paths and ideals, grow with and help one another, and to bring about our goals and dreams.
What would you say are Forsaken's goals and dreams, in your interpretation? What I once knew them to be are no longer as they are. This is something I'm still learning about, and will have to develop in time, so I cannot give that answer at the moment.
You have the joy ahead of you of discovering your love of your clan all over again, then. For the short-term, what do you feel your next steps will be? And I look forward to that discovery. As for the next steps, I have plans and ideas, maybe even a few schemes, but everyone will have to wait and see. I can't divulge all my secrets this early on now, can I?
Is your clan currently recruiting, and if so, what sort of members are you looking to bring home? The children of Blight have always looked out for the people of Nagnang, and our doors have always been open to those who seek a home with us and abide by the rules of The Forsaken and the kingdom.
Though it's early in the appointment and you've got a lot to gauge and consider, how do you feel Forsaken Clan's activities will align with the rest of the Nangen clans? Will you be open to collaboration, events? I can't imagine after all the work JABS did we would be at odds with any of the other clans. Of course we're open to collaboration with the other clans, and the subpaths as well.
Sounds great to me. Are there any other messages or announcements you'd like to make? Anything on your mind you'd like to share with the kingdoms? Only that I have returned and I intend to make it everyone else's problem.
I like you already. Thank you for your time, Primogen, and good luck to you and your clan.
