To Elect Once More

[Lawrna 440]

The Silver City of Haelun'or adheres willingly to the martial law of the Kingdom of Oren, and strives to bring stability to the lands of Haelun'or. It continues to adhere to the laws of the Kingdom of Oren, and adheres to its own laws as a vassal - it is the duty of the people of Haelun'or to elect a new leader to represent its peoples effectively.

 

 

The criteria is as follows:

Duties of the Sohaer

1.) Consultation.  While the Sohaer presides as the head of state, he or she is obliged to seek the advice of fellow authorities.  The two underlings who share seats of power should be sought out before large decisions are made, to better inform the wisdom of the Sohaer himself/herself.

2.) Status.  The Sohaer claims the right to differentiate between times of war and times of peace.  Without a stated declaration from the Sohaer, the City cannot engage in national conflict.

3.) Diplomacy.  The friendships of our Nation are tied directly to Her fate.  Thus, in the Sohaer rests the ability to choose our state’s official allies and enemies.  No tie between our nation and another can be made without the approval of the Sohaer. Also, the Sohaer conducts visits from emissaries and representatives from alien nations.  All inquiries on the national level by diplomatic meeting are to be attended by the Sohaer.

4.) Guidance.  Referendums must be signed into the law by the Sohaer.  Ratification of law is vested in the signatory of this position.

5.) Teaching.  The Sohaer must be knowledgeable about all matters of the City and Mali’aheral culture.  More importantly, however, he or she must teach these things to all who inquire it, so as to enhance the Blessed City’s wealth and blessing in knowledge.

6.) Service.  The Sohaer must be at the service of the city, with no task for the betterment of all below himself/herself.  The Sohaer shall perform any task for the advancement and health of the Mali’aheral beneath his or her power.

7.) Example.  More than anything, the Sohaer shall represent the best aspects of all Mali’aheral and serve as a role-model for all. With exceptional purity, and exceptional citizenship, the Sohaer must demonstrate for each citizen the pinnacle of Mali’aheral expectation for behaviour.

 

Speeches for nomination shall begin immediately.

Shortly after the announcement is made, Laethis can be seen standing in the Haelun'or square. He stands, addressing the various citizens passing by, a crowd forming around him as he speaks.

 

"Children of Larihei, the time has come to once again select a new Sohaer. I put myself forth as a candidate. While in the past, many have given long, meaningless speeches to justify their challenge, I will say only that which makes me the best candidate.

 

During my time on the Silver Council, I have fulfilled the roles of my duty well. I have evicted those who have abandoned their homes, and filled these homes with other citizens. I have welcomed many new mali'aheral to the city, and rejected the impure who spurn our ways. I have worked tirelessly to ensure my duties are performed properly, and will continue to do so until they are no longer mine to fulfill.

 

When considering the criteria of Sohaer, I am most qualified. During this period of Martial Law, I served as diplomat to many human officials. Through our cooperation, safety was maintained in Haelun'or. I wish to leverage these relationship already formed in order to deter any further deviations from normalcy in the future.

 

Similarly, my current position requires one to have skill in teaching and serve as an outstanding example of mali'aheral. I have done both well. I do whatever is necessary to assist in the progression of our people, even if it is outside my duties. I have no experience in the other three criteria, as none other than a former Sohaer can have experience in these duties.

 

If you wish to see purity upheld, I will serve you. If you wish to see tradition remembered, I will serve you. If you wish to see Haelun'or thrive, I will serve you. I am the viable candidate for Sohaer."

 

At the conclusion, he departs, an elf chasing after him, trying to give him the Prom King Crown for winning the Marmamali'Aheral Contest.

This nomination has been discounted for being pointless.

If you truly wish to run for Sohaer, a speech will be needed.
