Reporter Kaleea meets Primogen Ezra in the desert!
Kaleea:"Congratulations on your promotion, Ezra! What is your favorite snack, and do you think it will influence your leadership style?"
Ezra:"Well, that Monk guide is definitely up high on the list! Oh, not "who"! I'll take salty over sweet any day. I'm a sucker for a bag of chips. My approach to snacks tends to be to go too big too fast till I'm left with nothing but regret and a sore tummy, so I hope to keep my unbridled snack approach separate from a more considered and transparent leadership style."
Kaleea:"Great choice! What was the most surprising or unexpected reason someone gave for wanting the role of Primogen?"
Ezra:"Well, I've already had a few lads at the tavern tell me they'd want the job just to change people's titles, and there was one who particularly focused on an "gold acorn hoard", but in the general, I'd like to believe that most get into this role with the best of intentions. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little *pauses* confused when I was asked to get involved, but I'm excited to be here and I'm really looking forward to building on Silla's legacy and helping our family grow."
Kaleea:"Are there any secret handshakes or dance moves you've promised to teach the clan?"
Ezra:"*Smirks* That's classified information, but we may or may not be working on a routine for the next Defender Ceremony. I hope it involves sparkles."
Kaleea:"Will you be introducing any new rules or traditions, like mandatory nap times or weekly pie eating contests?"
Ezra:"We desert folk need to work hard to not become dessert folk! Silla has a rich history, and we endeavor to keep our traditions of sharpening our bodies and minds alive. I'm hoping to delve a little deeper into our history to explore what else we can do to strengthen our bonds, *pauses and grins* but few things bring people together more than shedding blood!"
Kaleea:"If you had a theme song for your leadership, what would it be? And can we get a snippet?"
Ezra:"Well, a few months ago, a certain clan member recommended me a song that has been stuck in my brain ever since. *Gets a faraway look in his eyes* but no, we shan't go back to that again. I'm voracious when it comes to music, but as much as I'd like to drop a playlist ranging from The Clash to Massive Attack and beyond, what comes to mind is the "Charles in Charge" theme. *Mumbles softly to himself* Ezra in charge, of our days, and our niiiiiiights. Ezra in charge, of our wrongs and our riiiiiiiights."
Kaleea:"How do you plan to keep the clan motivated and united during your tenure?"
Ezra:"This is a genuine challenge. We're fortunate to be a large clan, and a big part of my remit is to get a handle on this exact concern. Radical transparency, communication, and a focus on how Silla's goals align with our members' goals helps to maintain that clarity. Our council is filled with people who care deeply about our clan, and their passion keeps me accountable. Failing that, snacks, and the promise of more snacks!"
Kaleea:"What's the most important message you want to send to your clan members as you step into this role?"
Ezra:"I want to hear from you, and we all want to see each other! We're working on some things that are really exciting to me, and I will keep you informed every step of the way."
Kaleea:"Are there any upcoming initiatives or projects you're excited to lead?"
Ezra:"*Smiles* I'm trying hard not to go "Chips mode" and rush out a whole suite of projects all at once, but I'm very focused on initiatives that will increase our activity, along with the drier stuff of strengthening our governance and organization. Silla and the community can expect to see more events of differing scales. I've not fleshed out a few ideas I'd like to take up with Council, but I'm hoping that we can develop a few PK offerings over the coming weeks/months that will grab the eyes!"
Kaleea:"What is the one thing you'd like your clan members to do to make your job easier? Besides doing their chores, of course!"
Ezra:"A wise man once said that sand is coarse and gets everywhere. Unfortunately, desert living means constant sweeping! More seriously, communication, feedback, and participation! Talk to me, talk to council.. we want to hear from you as we enter a new chapter! These first couple weeks are all about understanding your goals and how they align with Sillas!"
Kaleea:"What is your vision for the future of the Silla Clan during your leadership?"
Ezra:"The boring answer is I'd like to get systems in place that allow Silla to serve our members regardless of who is at the helm. Akiudo first recruited me back in the 60s, and Silla, along with the Shaman, is one of the only homes I've ever known. I'm genuinely so proud to be a part of this clan, and I want to help steer it to the strong and active group it can be, building on the successes of Sspy, ReWrite, and the many other Primos before me. I stand on the shoulders of giants and I recognize that."
Kaleea:"How do you plan to address any challenges or conflicts within the clan?"
Ezra:"Within the clan, I think our biggest challenge is sustained engagement. If we're all active, comfortable with each other and vocal, we can solve any problem together. Our environment breeds resourcefulness and adaption, and Silla can overcome whatever is thrown at us by working together."
Kaleea:"Lastly, what qualities do you believe are most important for a Primogen to possess, and how will you embody them?"
Ezra:"I'm just as confused as you as how I ended up here! But our leaders have always embodied the vision they had for our clan, and their consistency bred results. I aim to be communicative, open, and engaged. I want to talk with everyone and have a difficult conversation if it's needed. I want to work with our council to bring Silla to the next level, and ultimately, I want to serve our people."

Some changes in leadership you may have missed

Reporter had the chance to speak with Oceana Primogen Rosalina
We had the honor of speaking with Rosalina, the newly appointed Primogen of the Oceana clan of Kugnae. The Oceana clan was born from the merciful absolution of the Dragon King, the God of the Seas, and is dedicated to protecting oceans, rivers, and lakes from deterioration and pollution caused by mankind. As a clan that values all forms of life and promotes peace and harmony with the environment, Oceana is known for its extended navy and strong militia, committed to safeguarding the water cycle and confronting threats to nature.
Rosalina's leadership marks a new chapter for this noble clan, as she seeks to uphold the legacy of those who sailed the seas seeking safety and harmony, guided by the wisdom and grace of the Sea King.
Kaleea: "Rosalina, congratulations on becoming the new Primogen of Oceana! How does it feel to step into this leadership role after Zariel's departure?"
Rosalina: "Thank you! This is a very exciting opportunity to make some waves here in the community! I hope to do Oceana proud."
Kaleea: "Zariel handed over the reins to you? What message or advice did she leave you as you took on this responsibility?"
Rosalina: "Huh? All I got was a load of paperwork!"
Kaleea: "Ahahaha! How did Zariel's leadership influence your vision for Oceana's future?"
Rosalina: "I think the biggest factor is her presence. I feel hopeful for the future of Oceana and I know Zariel will be around for guidance even as she moves on in her new venture."
Kaleea: "What are your immediate goals as the new Primogen?"
Rosalina: "Getting familiar with Primogen duties and spending time with my shipmates and getting a feel for what they would like to see here at Oceana."
Kaleea: "Oceana's origins are deeply rooted in harmony and sacrifice. How do you plan to uphold and strengthen these values under your leadership?"
Rosalina: "Here at Oceana we go with the flow of the waves, and there's been quite a few recently! I'd like to evoke some calm waters to keep us steady for a while."
Kaleea: "What new ideas or initiatives do you hope to introduce to Oceana during your tenure?"
Rosalina: "Well there has already been some new events during my time as council, I would like to revive some old events too!"
Kaleea: "How do you plan to foster creativity, friendship, and teamwork among your clan members as their leader?"
Rosalina: "Again, being present is really important, listening to what our shipmates would like to see. I hope that some kingdom wide activity will certainly strengthen bonds and maybe bring some inspiration here."
Kaleea: "What do you see as the biggest challenge facing Oceana right now, and how are you prepared to address it?"
Rosalina: "We are all aware that times are quieter now than they have ever been. Keeping things steady yet engaging is where I'm going to keep my focus for the time being."
Kaleea: "Oceana's mission involves protecting the oceans and promoting peace. How will you ensure these ideals are reflected in your leadership?"
Rosalina: "Oceana remains a peaceful clan, and I'll be here to listen and encourage it staying that way. Should there be threats to our waters, we would be taking action as necessary."
Kaleea: "Lastly, what excites you the most about leading Oceana into its next chapter?"
Rosalina: "Seeing Oceana flourish will be a great joy!"
Rangers welcome new elder
Zariel was found in the Wilderness
Zariel abdicated as Oceana Clan's Primogen in order to assume responsibilities as elder of Ranger. Her predecessor, Tsirl, had served the subpath as its head since 2023.
Reporter: "I know you're no stranger to leadership, you've been Primogen, Premiere of [redacted] and now you're stepping into Ranger Elder. What have the past positions taught you that will help you this time around?"
Zariel: "I've learned a lot from the past and suffered a lot from the past that I've moved on and lost, I suppose? Being Primogen taught me the importance of having a home, building and maintaining a home, a family, treasuring every moment and every individual. It also taught me the bitterness of loss, as any Viper member can recall. That bitter loss is something that deeply hurt my sense of being and my pride as a leader. For a long time, it made me feel inept as a leader. But that's something i've chosen to discard and proverbially step back in the ring. As for my experiences as Premiere, well let me tell you those were some exciting times! And after the great mythic beast vanished and I had acquired the treasure at last. There I was... homeless again without a rag to my name. Where were we again?"
Reporter: "What are you hoping to accomplish in Ranger?"
Zariel: "I don't have much I hope to accomplish. For now, I wish to carry on a legacy that my Guide, Mentor, and dear friend Tsirl has helped me visualize over the years. We are a peaceful tribe in peaceful times, full of kindhearted souls and compassionate individuals. We are a place to grow, to thrive, to individualize and be proud, or simply fit into the flock and snooze warmly, knowing you are safe. However, I was not taught to simply be a peaceful person, nor am I a stranger to war-torn times. We also remain ever vigilant, ever ready, prepared and strong against any outcome."
Reporter: "I would ask what you do in your down time, but most of us can find you in a cave. So, what do you do for fun?"
Zariel: "For fun, I do like to hunt! I find huntin in the kingdoms to be one of the most soothing things to me. It's part of why I treasure this place and these lands. I like to read books, though I haven't read much of late, really. I write poetry, preachy and sappy mush mostly... I flirt with pretty girls when I see them> Speaking of what were you doing after this interview...? -She bats her eyes at the interviewer-"
Reporter: "What is one thing about yourself that you would like to share with everyone?"
Zariel: "I have red hair, underneath all the layers, believe it or not!"
Reporter: "What is a misconception about Ranger that you'd like to get straight once and for all"?
Zariel: "There is a misconception I think that Rangers would play the peaceful fool in times of peril or strife. I'm not sure how that came about! Perhaps I perceive the rumor mill wrongly? *A sly grin* Well... I think you'll see in time we haven't raised an entirely peaceful lot. Though we live in times of perpetual, even aggravating, tiresome, bothersome- *She clutches angrily at her hair and stops* --er... That is to say, peace gets a bit old, for some. I'd like to set some fires. Though not to trees. Never to trees!"
