Hello everybody. Today we have a special guest in the studio to do some expert strategic analysis for us. Eldred served in the elite Aquilonian Black Dragons during the last Pict war, so he definitely knows a thing or two about strategy!

Jonah: Eldrad, why don't you start by telling us what you see as the big picture for this Ulm-Jotunheim war?

Eldrad: Well Jonah, I can't see this ending well for Ulm. Tag Klatu has committed the best army he has, in fact the only real army Ulm has, to a fruitless siege of the Jotun capital. He's losing valuable lands, err hehe.. I should say waters.. to another foe, but he doesn't want to lose face by abandoning the siege. In fact...

Jonah: That's very interesting. We in the studio have been trying to figure out what started this war in the first place. We haven't had any luck. Could you shed any light on the origins of the war for us?

Eldred: You redirected me from my point, to put me on my point! As I was just starting to say, it is ironic that this war started over Ulms fear of Jotun naval power. Some months ago..

Jonah: Wait. You're telling me that Tag feared that the giants would invade Ulm by sea? That must be what you mean because Jotunheim had no land routes to reach them.

Eldred: That's exactly what I mean. And the greatest irony is that Ulm went to all that trouble to get to Jotunheim by land, and now is losing territory to a real naval power!

Jonah: Fascinating... Oh.. I see that we're out of time. Thank you for your time in giving this interview. It was nice to meet you!

Eldred: Thank you Jonah. It was a pleasure!

Jonah: And to the rest of you, good morning and good luck!
