Today, it is a special day. For the 13th anniversary of your favourite magazine "Hoovesfolk Tribune", we have a special gift for our readers. The young and fancy newcomer of Canterlot. The 6th richest pony of the continent and 10th in the world. His foreign Excellency from Deerham', The Ambassador Salamalec Sandburst,last member of the nobleous and venerable Manehattanit Elysion's House, has accepted an exclusive interview with our peoples'n political chronicler and to answer to our questions.
Good day to you.
-Namaskar. May the sun keeps you.
How should we address you?
-"Your Excellency", normally. But you can use "Ashti", is fine too.
- Of course. I am Salamalec Sandburst of Elysion, plenipotentiary emissary of Our Serein Majesty, the Reis Alderamin Ist. Slender unicorn, little muscular with a standard size, in the twenty-fives.
My coat is "Pale Cooper", my mane "Pale Chestnut" and my eyes made of a "Dark Regalia" tone.
- Is not it ? It is a white dove with green olive branch. Its mean ?... I do not know. Maybe the peace… and my special skill is… well, it can annihilate relieve of heart and bringing serenity… this, and "other things" ^^
I obtained my cutie mark when I was still a colt. One day, a conflict occurred between my mate Arabesque and a stag named Saiyad. I have tried to emulate my godfather which is diplomat. With tact I succeeded more or less to reduce the tension. But the Stag resisted, and insulted me... Thereupon I sent a violent punch into his face. This calmed him down. Thus I have won my cutie mark… yeah I know. But this is still "diplomacy", in some way .
- This ? No… in fact, I have an eye disorder. Since my foalhood, my left eye is photophobic. Strong and middle lights are like burning flash. Then I use this silk patch to protecting my eye against it.
Did you remove it sometime?
- Before going to bed, yes
- Really ? Heheh. Well my turban is made of a very refined pashmina, and the trims sewn of gold yarns. It absorb sunray, push back the heat and keep my head cold. Although, as a Sandlander I am resistant to high heat and immunized against sunstrokes. So I wear it only as a sandlandic token.
And you would not think but this turban could do a scarf long of 4 meters. Of course this model is expensive, but you can take order in fashion shops… I suppose.
For my tattoos… well, this is a sign of belonging to the society of Deerham. This is the symbol of my citizenship that I received when they accepted me as one of them, even if I was not born in this land. And this golden bracelet is the symbol of my status; all high-ranking "administrators" have one.
-Of course. When I came in Canterlot, I did some purchases. I have my ambassador wardrobe. Party outfit used in upper-class events: double-breasted white tie/evening dress. A dress for ceremonial evens: Lounge suits with ascot tie. And other formal outfits.
- Oh… a medicinal leather flask, a magical compass, a log book, a pocket watch and a desert-rose, gift of my mate.
A medicinal flask ? Are you sick ?
- … No more. And what I had was hardly curable.
- Ah yes, this is my "stage name". It means "Reconciliation/peace". Few peoples are able to pronouncing "Salamalec" correctly…
- Yes indeed. The Princess gave me a room in the diplomatic suit. But I have others residences: A luxurious house in Deerham, and a manor in Manehattan.
- "Political appointment"… and no. There are enough ponies for this task.
And would you take the place of your monarch?
- …*Glance a dirty look*
-Well… actually, I do not have others responsibilities, except being a mediator and an emissary. But I have other works: I am archivist, part-time, in the public library of Deerham. I am also a Relic Hunter a Goldstar Tracker from the Circle of the Reliquary
-Hmm… A friend of mine, Saiyad, introduced me to them. I proved myself and concluded several missions on behalf of the Circle with my teammate and best friend Saiyad. I won ranks and finally they called me for to help them in "the case of the Reliquary" a few years ago. The reliquary is an artifact belonging to the guild since its inception. Thus, when the symbol of the circle has been stolen, they were rather annoyed of its disappearance.
They sent me to make a team with the best relic hunters of this time. We finally find it and faced the treasure hunters, the rival of the circle, which had stolen the artifact.
- Sir Bastion is my "accredited" bodyguard. He is a Pegasus guard from the army of Celestia. Due to his extra-military function, he wore a different armor than the others guard. In Equestria I was attacked once. Then the Princess assigned Sir Bastion to my protection… with time we became closer and when he knew that I was the last member of the Elysion House, he asked to Her Highness to dismiss him from army, and to let Sir Bastion be in my protection in full-time.
He is a good soldier with a prefect military formation and he has wings. I am lucky to have such friend in my side.
- Yes, of course. Let us see… there is my godfather : the royal advisor Salim Alaykum, which raised me. Hm, also my bodyguard, Sir Bastion Crown. Servio, my majordomo. Photon Apostilb, the president of lightech Corps.
Mister Apostilb did a lot for me, with his help my embassy in Manehattan is in construction. Saiyad my foal friend, Mister Lof, one of my rare friends in this country with Mister Gaze a skilled alchemist, Epher and Elene Kofferpelz, my assistants in the embassy. My blood brother Dream Gaze, my adoptive brother Finder... and all the departed. There is also Arabesque, an archivist and librarian of the public and the royal library. My rival but also my dearest friend. She is a very beautiful and clever mare
- Hehehe… yes. Of course : my mate Arabesque. We are just married and we do not have any foals. My lifestyle is very active, I travel a lot and I surely cannot have time to have ones.
- … I suppose I can. This is still new for me, I shall try to explain. Hahem! My mother was an aristocrat from Manehattan, Lady Ambroisia of Elysion. She was at the head of the Elysion House. And my father was Sarid Almanac, an antiquarian from the bourgeoisie of Trottingam.
My parents were dead when I was a foal, and actually is my aunt Lady Courtesy Gladstone which is in the head of the family. The Elysion House is now called Elysion-Gladstone. And with the death of my late great-father Ichor Calix II, I am now the last representatives of the original House of Elysion. I have still the title of "Lord", and if I would I can restore the Elysion, on take the head of the family… but… I do not want it. When my mission shall be finish, I will return spent my life in Deerham. This family surely take end with my death...
- Oh! I am old, you know?… I have one, but it's not very short… Hum.
I am born in Manehattan in 1975 p.c and I spent the seven first years of my life in the upper-class society. I do not have memories of this time, but I was in lack of nothing. One day my parents and I were on the road to Deerham, in the Semite region, for pay my godfather a visit. But, near of the city, we were surprised by a violent sandstorm. I… cannot remember what was doing. But I was saved by my godfather and some volunteers. My parents were missing and my godfather Salim, raise me. He taught me what we learn in Equestria, but also in Deerham. The City when I live. I had aristocratic education, but also acquisition of the deerhai, the language of Deerham.
Time passed, and after obtained my cutie mark, my godfather saw that I had some skill, and at my request, he decided to complete my training as a mediator. Switching between relic-hunting and diplomatic studies. After this, I had a "incident" with Saiyad, my teammate. Which created a conflict during near of 10 years, now. There were also the Case of the Reliquaire. I continued my studies and learned equestrian by self-taught. The former sovereign of Deerham, Sadalbari, have let his place to his brother, the Reis Alderamin. He proposed to strengthen diplomatic and commercial links with the external spheres of influences, Equestria notably.
My godfather wanted to do the travel, but the ruler decided he was too old to traveling and indispensable to the city.
Then he proposed me to the Reis, as a herald of the city.
I was a unicorn, mature, gifted in diplomacy, knowing the language of Equestria, and I have the double nationality. A logic choice, I would like to say.
I was called and made my evidences before the ruler who decided to make me Ambassador and given me the bracelet. I have used the six months remaining until my departure, to took the opportunity to study the customs and geography of Equestria.
And actually ?
- Well, actually… I had participated to the Galloping Gala, meet Discord, and many friends, have fought some monsters, find my past and build an embassy and overcame many ordeals.
… I hope they are ! By their fault I lived as an orphan, without their love, their presence… Thus I truly expect of them that they are really dead…. Because… because… Because I shall not forgive them to have abandoned me!... Really… I cannot… forgive to… them… Sorry. Can we… pass to next question ?
- … not really. Of course I was surprise; I did have no idea of what and who he was. And I must admit, it was a very disturbing feeling to be discorded, and I tried to face him… but I was no able to hurt him. By chance I have a guardian… and when Discord enters into my mind, this protector defeated him, save me and pushes back Discord out of my spirit by a deus ex machina. After what, Discord goes away. Personally I was quite chocked. But with time… I realized it was a good experience for being reinforced.
… Euh… thanks you. Well, even if I am born in Equestria, I lose my native language which, with time, was changed by the Deerhai. But when I was older, I re-learn the equestrian... in some mouths, but I have still some shortcoming. Out of the deerhai, I speak also French.
- Oui, en quelque sorte. This was during the Case of the Reliquary that I learned this language. I was in the Dukedom of Fersailles. And I met the Marshal General: Gilbert IIIth Morsier de Lafoinyette. As an acquaintance of my great-father, he helped me in my mission to find the reliquary. It was a nice teacher, and teaches me how to speak French. Curiously, I acquired this language in few days. As I already learned it. This was strange, but maybe is in my gens. My ancestor, Lady Joan Regalia, founders of the House of Elysion was from Fersailles. At this time, the King Navarrin Ist de Chevaline in conflict with Germania and Equestria. And my ancestor, which was named "Jeanne Regalia d'Elisée", changed her name in an equestrian way, to avoid conflict and in order to marry the Marquis of Trottingham… Ah sorry it is clear?
- Oh… well, be quiet/not be bothered for nothing. I like reading, peace, my job, to gaze the stars and relics hunting. Sinon, Unjustified and useless conflicts (because I think this is stupid), the impulsive peoples and actions (I am not enough patient for them), last minute change (very, very boring), dangerous situations (Because I prefers tranquility), cold (i.e : Northern places/snow/winter. I HATE HATE HATE, really HATE to catch a cold) and my accent, of course.
- Hmm… let us see… there is my tact, I suppose. My magic and some fighting skill. And my weaknesses… well, my language shortcomings.
- Yes, I prefere nonviolence. But I travel a lot, and I am often in dangerous situations. You know relic-hunting or wild creatures, and I am somepony of important. Then I learned some spells, the Deerham Secular Arcanum, and also a self-defense martial art. We call it "Krav Maga".
- Yes. This is a type of magic different than the magic used by unicorns. Everyponies is able to learn this unique and traditional magic art, but few ponies have learn it. This magic art use incantations and it is keep by the Sages, the guardians of this magic. Normally only the Deeraim is allowed to learn these spells. But finally they accepted to teach me some spells. I know sevens.
-… Like everypony, I suppose. I do not have leitmotif, but a personal motivation. My duty, notably, and see the world. For my fears… hehehe, it sound silly, but I fear loneliness… be alone on the world, scaring me. Be abandoned… it is something that I cannot want to revive. I have also another, but it is more an anxiety, than a fear: Fail my mission in creates diplomatic misunderstandings. By chance I am a professional, but my country is a little and peaceful nation. I do not want to do them a disservice.
-Ahahah… I hope it is just a scenario. My nation was built by warlike tribes, nomads warriors which were in war since near of a millennium. But we are peaceful since four centuries. Personally I suppose I use all my energy for avoid wars… and if it does not work, then I shall be ready to assuming my responsibilities and… if my death is necessary, then I will give my life what pleasure.
- Oh, it is a good question. So… Somepony says that I am cold… personally; I think I am not particularly cold towards others. There is two Ashti : the Ambassador, and all-day pony.
When I work I am a serious pony, reserved. But when I do not work I am more friendly although I keep a aristocratic attitude. But in the two case I am
conciliatory, sociable, polite, courteous and respectful to everyone without exception. I also do not hate anyone and I am open to discussion about a cup of tea, water or coffee.
For me, everyone is responsible for his own actions and must take their responsibilities.
Indeed, I condemn the unjustified violence and exceptionable ones. I work in the direction of peace with my tact and diplomacy as only weapons.
You know, I have the hard task to avoid misunderstandings that may have more serious consequences on the economy or the stability of my country. I am also very proud of his lineage and to be a Unicorn… voila. I tell enough or… ?
… Perfect, Your Excellency. Our readers will be happy. Most of the time, the peoples we interrogate are skimp on information. So, it's time for our category "trivial". Ashti, this is a series of traditional questions used in end of interview. This is simple, I pose you a question, and you answers the most simple possible, ok ? Let's go. …

Well, thanks you for for these informations.
-Kuchh nahi (you are welcome)

- Despite his build Ashti is lighter than average stallions, a little less than a colt; this is why he's rather fast and able to acrobatic maneuvers.

- Weirdly, Ashti doesn't have any difficult to stand and stay on his two forelegs as a human. Like if it was natural.

● Tropes ●
General
- Adventurer Archaeologist : Sorta, he's a part-time "Relic-Hunter". His mission is to find magical artifacts inside ruin
- Blue Blood : Son of the Lady from an ancient and very rich aristocratic Manehattan's family
- Cunning Linguist : He's fluents in French, Deerhaim (of course) and Tribal Allemahic.
- Eloquent In My Native Tongue / Foreign Language Tirade :Justified - If the Equestrian of Ashti is full of faults due to his lack of studies, he speaks, instead, in a very excellent Deerhai and French.
- Going Native : Born in a Manehattan's family with Trottingham and Prance's origins, but brought up and living in a sandlandic foreign nation. And he's very patriotic and faithful to his foster homeland.
- Good Is Not Soft : Downplayed. Ashti is nice, but not a paragon nor an ideal hero. He doesn't like loneliness so he protects his relatives to don't lose them. If you're not nice with him or his relative he will not be nice towards you.
- Lonely Rich Kid : Despite he had (few) friends and relatives, all his life, and especially during his foalhood it was the case.
- Neutral Good : Passively good.
- Morality Kitchen Sink / Shades of Conflict -Type White and Grey vs. Grey and Black : Ashti isn't the nicest pony in the world, but if evil creatures could exist, Ashti prefers to think that the world is not only Good vs Bad, but there is different shades of grey.
- Nice Guy / Diplomat and a Gentleman: Despite be aloof, he's gentle, quiet, sociable and open minded... just do not mess with him and every will stay fine.
- Politeness Judo : His modus operandi. He learned that most of the minor conflicts can be avoided by staying polite and respectful.
- Soap Opera Disease / Incurable Cough of Death : His karmic self-cursed hemoptysis (now magically cured).
- Technical Pacifist / Martial Pacifist / Thou Shalt Not Kill : Ashti loves a good fight time to time… but never seeks to irremediably handicapping or kill his opponent. He also doesn't take pleasure to wounds people, even if it's self-defense. Then he prefers to negotiate or talk first. At least this is only for ponies and sentient beasts or animals… because he will have no remorses if this is a wild beast, an eldritch abomination, a supernatural being etc...
- The Dragon / The Dragon with an Agenda : Ashti to Master Shazadeh, or short of. Although Shazadeh isn't evil.

- Screw the Money, I Have Rules! : Justified. Yep. Ashti can't be corrupted with money because he's already rich and anyway money doesn't mean something to him. For him some things are more valuable and important than wealth.
- Some Call Me Tim : "Ashti", because few ponies, in-verse, managed to pronounce correctly "Salamalec"
- The Load: Averted and Zig Zagged – Ashti is quite vulnerable despite his fight abilities and he's often owned. But when he's not under the effect of a spell such a downgrade, his sickness, KO, or death (At least near of) and that his soul is not torn off from his body (it happened twice), he remains quite competent, plurivalente and dangerous.
