Special coverage of the Indralan Imperial World Tour of 4395 from the Nationalist Bulletin, a staunchly monarchist and nationalist newspaper in Indrala.Hawu monarchs host Indralan Imperials during highly anticipated tour stop 9-16 September 4395Nekhatw, Saisyut, Hawu Mumenhes: During perhaps what had been the most anticipated stop of the Imperial Tour, the Princes' and their company spent seven days in Hawu Mumenhes as the guests of the ruling
House of Saksoure. Unlike the highly itinerant nature of other stopovers, the Indralan Imperials spent the majority of their time in Hawu Mumenhes at the Nakhatw Palace, in that nation's capitol. It is widely assumed that this decision was orchestrated by the Indralan and Hawu governments, who are making intentional efforts at strengthening bilateral cooperation.
During their first night at the Nakhatw Palace, Princess Fengmian performed a traditional Indralan dance to the praise of her Hawu hosts. After this, Prince Jianlong handed the Esintsundu Empress, represented by her sister Princess Imset, a private letter from the Tianshun Emperor. The Prince also presented the Princess, in place of her sister, the Indralan Order of Friendship. Other gifts had already been sent by the Tianshun Emperor
in advance of the Imperial Tour as an expression of gratitude for the Hawu reception of the Indralan party.
In the morning of September 10th, the Indralan Princes' were given a tour of some historical landmarks in and around the national capitol region. Princess Imset brought the Princes' to a Hawu pyramid in a jungle area north of Nekhatw. Upon seeing the structure (above) rising out of the thicket, Prince Jianlong commented that "these buildings are a testament to the brilliance of the Hawu people." He also shared some religious insights with his Indralan travelling party:
"We see, in these types of structures, the universality of all great civilizations of the world in a desire to try and reach Heaven. How blessed are we to live under the reign of His Imperial Majesty the Son of Heaven? May the Tianshun Emperor live and reign for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand of ten thousand years!"
In the evening, the Imperial travelling party and their Hawu hosts attended a fashion show, exhibiting works of Hawu and Indralan couture. On the morning of September 11th, the Indralan Princes' were invited to the Hawu legislature to hear a throne speech from Princess Imset. At this event, Princess Imset will inducted Crown Prince Yinju and the Tianshun Emperor into Hawu orders, with Prince Jianlong as their representative. The Prince humbly thanked the Princess and stated that "it brings [him] great joy to see [his] father and Holy Grandfather honoured by people under heaven and carried by Terra."
During the formal state visit events, bureaucrats from the Indralan military, government opposition and their Hawu counterparts held a number of working sessions to develop strategies on how best to strengthen Hawu-Indralan relations. Due to Tian'an's republican government, not much is expected to immediately result from these meetings, though officials said that the talks went "very well," and that they predict much closer economic and security ties in the future. One of the most concrete developments from these talks came from academic officials, who reached a number of agreements on bilateral research, academic publishing and international student provisions.
The Princes' and their party spent the last five days of the trip in Hawu Mumenhes at the Nakhatw Palace. It is rumoured that the two royal families became rather amiable during this time, with Prince Jianlong personally instructing some of the younger Hawu nobles in the Way of Archery with Indralan bows which
the Tianshun Emperor had sent one year prior. The Indralans departed from the Hawu capitol in the evening of September 16th, en route to Valruzia.
