Klaus News: Interview with Nanzo

I interviewed the person who comes from the shadows of the past that everyone fears, that person is NANZO!
Dreadwoods live is more organized than ever! I can say that my impressions changed with the way they greeted me when I went there,
my advice to you is don't go there to have fun and cut trees, no one will take responsibility for it and you may get in trouble.
Thanks to Nanzo for giving me the chance to interview...

A life story that wants to do something for its people...
The years paid for betrayal and the life of a tyrant, and now it's back.

Imagine a moment when your fears are real, you can't breathe and tears are flowing from your eyes!
Was he back? Yeah... 

Klaus: What do you think about the future? What are you planning to do in the future, or rather, what is the message you want to give to you and other people?

Nanzo: I intend to train others, teach them the ways in which I gained power in my own youth. Show them how to resist the oppressive might of their foes and shape the world to their desires.

Nanzo: My role as a Sage within these lands is my primary focus as of now but in time I've the intent of showing the world the might that was once my realm. I suppose, in broad strokes that is what I wish to do in the future.

Klaus: Where do your strength and vision come from? Of course, there was something you did in the past, and now you share what you have.

Nanzo: Will, they come from my will to change the world.

Nanzo: I am a symbolic caster, my strength and vision comes from my will. I take that will and amplify it in order to exert pressure and change upon the world. In short? I have an active imagination.

Something in my past? Well, most of my students have benefited from the advice I can give them in regards to war. Many have never faced the challenge of entering such contests and are nervous. However, I have a talent for pinpointing what causes such fears and helping them overcome such things.

Klaus: I hear you had enemies in Esshar and I see that you are not worried about it, you are comfortable and you do a lot for your students.
What about your enemies? Is there a message you want to give them?

Nanzo: They are blessed by my attention. Each one has come to me with some weakness in their heart or their body. I take them, break them down, and then mold them into an idealized symbol of their personal strength.

Nanzo: My enemies? Bahaha, they are countless if I had but one word to give them all it would be to fear the dark. Fear what goes bump in the night. This realm is not meant for the subjugation of Osrona nor the conflagration of the Ebonblooded zealots. It is a wild-land meant to be free, a place for the wonders of the world to thrive.

Klaus: What about Nyx and followers? I've been getting information about attacks on mutants for a long time, And I have a question about Mire, will you do something about it?
Klaus: More precisely, there is silence on the Mire side and you are actively teaching people in Dreadwoods now and everyone lives here, and I'm wondering what you think about outsiders. I've been here in the past and it wasn't very welcoming.

Nanzo: Nyx has passed beyond this realm. I accept her demise, she was not strong enough to survive in this world. It is her children, those who still draw upon what is left of her power in this world.

Who will march with me in creating something greater. In memory of our lost mother.

I fought for the Mire all of my adult life. I was there every great assault against the shadowedlands. What is there to do? It was felled by the Crimson Court. It was weak and weakness does not survive in this world.

As for outsiders? They come to the woodlands in packs seeking some amusement from their boredom. I have set the monsters within this land to harassing such travelers and those who lack the fear or respect of these land will find that their lives are easily snatched within the shaded woods.

Klaus: If you could change anything, what would you change first?

Klaus: This is Coven's territory, actually a place where they have their rules, Nanzo what do you think of them I've heard they have a talented leader and work hard for this place is it true?

Nanzo: Change... I have lived a long time and made many mistakes, however, those mistakes are what made me who I am. I will change nothing, the past is stone and the future is where my eyes gaze.

I offered shelter to the Coven in its weakest days when I was Tyrant. While within these woods I respect my hosts and have little want to break their rules. Their leader has her wants and I've mine. There has been no need for that to conflict so far and for that I believe her to be wise. Certainly, wiser than most witches Ihave known in my days. If she survives longer I can't wait to see the monstrosities she will create.

Klaus: Do you have a family? And what I'm interested in is that you talk about very good things according to many people, your thoughts and vision with your people.
As my other question, I would like to ask this... What did being a tyrant add to you? There must be something that has affected you through this time and made you who you are now.

Nanzo: I am old, I have had several families throughout my life. At the moment, I have some wretches I am training up from a young age. If you wish to consider that a family as your kind view it. The definition blurs slightly, when you speak of family to a monster. We share kinship with so much more than just those of blood.

I suppose, I could talk of my late husband, Mellow Cottontail, a chivalrous Knight of Osrona. He gave me strength when I was weakest more times than I could count." The old man seemed to pause, and then take a sip of his tea.

I was a Tyrant, because I claimed succession from Torgon. I exerted my will and my dream of the Mire upon my kindred. Bending a nation to my will has left a... Impact upon me, yes.It forced me to be wiser than I was. To think of my actions beyond just the next battle. For each decision was weighed not in my own blood but the blood of all my servants and slaves. A costly price at times.


Klaus:  Well, Nanzo, I have a good question, what would your reaction be to Betrayal? You have a lot of students and this is a possible situation.

Nanzo: I have been betrayed, many times have I been betrayed. Betrayal, is the action of a human or those tainted by humanities filth. You will never suffer the betrayal of a wolf, for such a thing will either attack you or it will not.

Nanzo: Oh yes, I know betrayal. Those who cross me have sufferer. The Crimson Devil, Claudette. She betrayed me and tried to take my throne after we had just been bested by the power of Osrona. Still bleeding from wounds I suffered I did battle her. By the power of Nyx, I did bring that mechanized devil to their knees and rip from them their core.

Maazu, a former soldier of the Mire who sided with Vampires betrayed me. During the Mire's fall I tore her apart, breaking her bones and stripping her of her mask, her honor. Yes, I know betrayal and those who cross me will suffer fates worse than death.

I am old, what is there to look towards but the future?...

Klaus: You're really right... The future is blurry.

So is there anything you want to add? You can really say whatever comes your way, and I want to write it,
And...
You definitely don't forgive betrayal it's a really good thing and I hope someone doesn't try it.

Nanzo: You can tell the world this. So long as I live, so long as the mighty Nanzo's bootheels strike the earth. They will never dispel the shadows that haunt this world. Those who seek power, revenge, glory I will take under my wing, train them to their potential and unleash them upon the world!

Nanzo: I believe, that will be enough to frighten your readers. Give them something to think about.

Klaus: Thank you for your time, I hope you enjoyed the interview.

Nanzo: Now, I have fulfilled a want of mine, I look forwards to reading your paper.

.Thank you.
