Exit Fate: Meiko's Interviews

Nashal

Meiko: Today I'm interviewing General Nashal from Gojistan. Welcome, general. For a start, could you tell us a little about your country?

Nashal: Gojistan is a country north-east of Kirgard, across the ocean. It's larger than Zelmony, but the east is mainly steppe and sparsely populated. We're located on the eastern shores of the Kubal Sea, an internal sea with the Kingdom of Issuria to the north, the Holy Empire of Rocaine to the south, and the Archduchy of Valcany to the west.

Meiko: I've heard that the situation between Issuria and Rocaine is similar to that between Kirgard and Zelmony -there've been many wars between the two. Does this affect your country badly, being in the middle?

Nashal: Often, yes. Both countries have invaded us in the past. At the moment there is an uneasy peace, but no one knows how long it will last. The khan is maintaining a neutral position as not to offend either country.

Meiko: And yet, you've clearly chosen a side in this conflict.

Nashal: This was also the khan's decision. Gojistan and its neighbours have never had much contact with this continent. With the dawn of a new age for these lands, it's also an opportunity for us. Neither Kirgard nor Zelmony are allied to our enemies, so we're hoping to strengthen our position by improving our relations with your people. I think we could learn a lot from each other.
