Hear Me!

[Balthasar 2497]

 

Before the huge crowd a man appeared, standing behind a humble wooden podium with the seal of Senntisten adorned in its center. He took a moment to scan the denizens of the alluring capital - At last he cleared his throat and began to speak "Greetings, people of Senntisten!" he said, his voice quivering "I am Godwyn Crast, a god-fearing citizen of Marna. As you might be aware, I am running for the office of Mayor, while I am young, I assure you! I am capable of holding and managing the office" as he spoke, he raised his hand, his index finger pointed and waving about, as if to strongly make his point.

 

Then he stood in silence, for seemingly ages. Again looking over the crowd, but alas he spoke "I am here to explain what I may do for you; the people!" again silence, he quickly produced a paper, which he laid upon the podium in front of him "A few years ago, I arrived at Senntisten, at the behest of my Uncle, Balian Crast, the city seemed fine initially, but as I looked under the carpet I saw it lacked many important elements. That is why I intend to reform aspects of the municipal government, the ineffective stewards will be replaced, and many more jobs will be established for the common people - I promise to found a city council, where the most dedicated and skilled common men and women, may find work in specific branches of the government, and a judicial court, where you the people may be elected and decide the fate of criminals, but also draft municipal laws. As our city expands, I intend to expand and compose more departments"

 

Within a few moments, he had swapped around the papers that laid upon the podium. Again he spoke, his voice more confident than ever! "With a more efficient municipal government, I hope to see a rise in the municipal treasury to fund both public works and to fund the Free Company” A moment of silence appeared "I plan to hold periodic festival and events for the city. A chance for the people to show a part of their lives, with fairs - for example."

 

“This great city cannot be allowed to stall and wither into emptiness like Adelburg did, years ago. We can’t wait for some steward or some celebrated organizer to arrive and make their attempts at saving this city - it must be done while it is alive! I shall give you an never-declining capital, which will stand the test of time.” he stood quiet again, but spoke seconds later “I aim to see this city, its laws, its people and electoral system, be properly documented and made available to every citizen. Reciting what I said before, I earnestly promise to reform our municipal government, so that every man and woman in senntisten may participate in it.”

 

With that he stepped back, took a humble bow and waved “Remember to vote for Godwyn Crast” he announced, as the crowd began to applaud. Finally he made his way away from the podium, disappearing somewhere with a flock of people

Ser Felix clapped for the only mayoral candidate to provide a speech and would cast his vote!

'Damn. If you weren't a Winter bastard, I'd of voted for you.' Grand Master Rakim thinks to himself. "I wish my guy made a speech!"

The Lord Magnate of the Judiciary in Marna frowns, as the Crast steals his job.

The Crast frowns, as the keyword was municipality not national

Alexandre frowns back as the Crast frowned, knowing full well what his designated jurisdiction was. He then began to wonder who bestowed such powers of the judiciary upon the Mayorship.

Godwyn didn't realize Marna had a 'Lord Magnate of the Judiciary' as the privy hasn't been heard from for years. Nonetheless, with an inactive judiciary body, one must take matters into their own hands
