Yendi Rising

(IAP 1996)

It is a time of resolution, a time of endings. As the reign of the Chreotha comes to a close, so does the resistance of the Eldens to the Dragaeran invasion. Though this is an ending, it is also a beginning. The new territory holds endless possibility during the inexorable approach of the Yendi regime...

Marleigh:

I am sitting here this evening with Coll Fishmonger, a native here on the island of Elde. Mr. Fishmonger, what are your opinions on your new role as a Dragaeran subject?

Coll:

My name's not Fishmonger, it's Coll. Sellin' fish is what I do.

Marleigh:

Umm... yes, well, what do you think about being a subject?

Coll:

Subject of what?

Marleigh:

The Dragaeran Empire.

Coll:

Nope, thanks, I'd rather be on Elde. The fishin's no good on the mainland.

Marleigh:

But you already are in the Dragaeran Empire. They just conquered your island. Didn't you notice all of the ships?

Coll:

Well, there have been a lot of trawlers out lately, but I figure there's enough fish for everybody.

Marleigh:

aggravated tone There have not been more trawlers around, there have been warships! Didn't you notice that there were soldiers on board with swords and spears?

Coll:

Harpoons.

Marleigh:

What?

Coll:

Long sticks with points on the end.

Marleigh:

No, I meant, why did you say "harpoons"?

Coll:

You catch fish with harpoons, not spears.

Marleigh:

They weren't catching fish, they were killing people!

Coll:

No they weren't, they weren't doin' much of anythin', except gettin' seasick.

Marleigh:

Well, how do you feel about the Emperor bringing the entire court to Elde to sign the peace treaty and survey his new lands?

Coll:

Who?

Marleigh:

The Emperor.

Coll:

Oh. ponders a moment Does he like fish?

Marleigh:

yelling Can't you talk about anything except fish?

Coll:

confused expression Why?

Marleigh:
