Iron Brothers 720p
Raiquen Courcelle
Iron Brothers follows the titular brothers, Abel (Tate Smith) and Henry Iron (Porter Smith), fur trappers whose living is taking a hard downturn. The price of furs is dropping, and this frustrates the two brothers. After getting an utterly unfair deal from Randall (Luke Kalmar), a frequent buyer, a fight breaks out, and Randall is killed. Abel and Henry then go on the lam and have to survive the harsh wilderness. If the environment does not overwhelm them, then the eclectic people they meet or the Native Americans out to scalp them might take down the brothers.
Then there are the costumes, which appear worn and lived in, and are (reasonably) period accurate. Jenelle Smith works wonders with the budget at her disposal, and the film is all the better for it. Porter Smith and Sean Williamson provide the music, and it is equally as impressive as the costumes. Henry nearly drowns, so Abel is nursing him back to health when the Native Americans catch up to the brothers. The music cue is intense and allows for dread to settle in before giving way to a more lively score that amplifies the battle.
The Iron Brotherhood (Ferrum Fraternitati in high gothic) are a crusading chapter, spending years at war, only to return home and celebrate with tales of conquest, and battles won. Counting themselves amongst the sons of Dorn, they lack some of their sombre, stern traits, replacing it instead with a joy for combat that they wear upon their sleeve. Like their progenitors, they place great focus on martial skill, and are renowned for having iron-wills, strong discipline, and being stubborn in battle. They are known as both crusaders, and heroes, placing greater focus on protecting the citizenry of the Empire, more than most other Chapters.
The Watchtower is the Chapter's fortress monastery, built on an ancient Imperial Fists outpost, the Fortress is a tall, foreboding structure. It lacks some of the pomp of other Imperial Structures, lacking decoration, or gothic stylings. The Watchtower is sturdy, and well built, with layers of defences. It has hangars, training facilities, armouries, and other facilities, and also includes recreational facilities too, where brothers can share drinks and tales of adventures, or rest in quiet contemplation. At the centre of this, is the Ironwood tree. It was in the shade of this tree that their ancestors first rallied and formed the Brotherhood.
The Host of Dragons were once the Host of war, but changed their name following the invasion of their homeworld. Saved by the Blood Dragons, the Host of War changed their name, and iconography, to honour their sworn brothers. The Host of dragons now fights on, to best honour the second chance gifted to them.
Today, China-Pakistan relations have acquired a new dimension. The establishment and deepening of China-Pakistan comprehensive strategic cooperation meets the common interests of both our peoples and enhances stability and development in our region. I wish to take this opportunity to reiterate to the Pakistani people and the international community that the new Chinese government will continue to pursue a policy of friendship with Pakistan. We will work together with Pakistan to uphold and grow China-Pakistan relations and take more pragmatic steps to bring more benefits to our two peoples. China and Pakistan should remain good and trustworthy partners and sincere and reliable brothers.
'Listing Masood Azhar as a 'global terrorist' was done with Islamabad and Imran Khan's concurrence.' 'It was not prompted by the so-called 'Wuhan spirit'.' 'The relationship between the two 'iron brothers' has not been dented,' points out former RA&W officer and China expert Jayadeva Ranade.
