Xalid for Maeyr

[Xalid 269]

 

People of Nordengrad,

 

I write this with a heart full of pride. Our city, nae or people have flourished under Thoromir’s watchful eyes. The All Father truly smiles upon our humble city.

 

As our city flourishes, Nordengrad begins to take an important role on the stage of Atlas. The political structure of this land has been missing our strong and wise words. Thoromir must turn his attention towards making all of Atlas grow in the way we have. That is not to say he will neglect Nordengrad, not in the least. What I am saying is his attention on the day to day operations will need to be watched over by another, the Maeyr.

 

The Maeyr will continue to ensure the city grows and is ever prosperous. With that in mind, i wish a school shall be built in the vacant land near the farm entrance so our children may learn from the best our people have to offer. Reading, writing, trade, the Red Faith to name a few.

 

We need to show the denizens of Atlas who we are as a people instead of just a spot on the map.

 

I propose that each of our great clans will hold a feast throughout the year to celebrate what their families do for us that we may or may not know. A festival to celebrate the dedication of the Red Brothers and the Rangers of Northemarch in the form of feats of strength, agility and determination to never let our lands fall to the eternal dark.

 

We should not just celebrate the older generations of our people but the children as well. I propose we hold a festival for all in which we dress in costume to celebrate the imagination our youth offer us. Not a formal masquerade but a carnival with ideas gathered from their bright young minds.

 

The job of Maeyr is not all planning parties however. We must keep track of all new citizens, to find them homes and trades within our walls. We all know that without each other helping the greater well being of the city there would be no Nordengrad. We must track the bounty of our harvests, be it the fields or the sea to ensure we all have the sustenance we require.

 

Though we live in different houses or hold different clan names we are all the family of Nordengrad. We welcome strangers to warm themselves at our hearth, eat at our tables and provide them shelter from wilds. Bearing that in mind I propose that each clan provide a small portion of their harvest at reduced or no charge to any citizen who is struggling to put food on their table.

 

I have watched over you all from our city walls, from the surrounding wilderness before the rangers were formed. I implore you to let me continue to watch over you in the role of Maeyr.

 

If the people of Nordengrad choose me to represent their interests to the Ashen Council I will always welcome ideas, suggestions or objections in the affairs that affect their daily lives. I seek to give a voice to everyone in the political structure of our city.

 

I thank you for your time.
