AN ANNOUNCEMENT FOR CANDIDACY

12th of Malin’s Welcome, 1686

 

 

 

 

[!] Palatine Robert Sigismund stands and addresses a crowd gathered in the square near the front of the entrance of Krepost Palace.

 

“Citizens of Markev, today, we stand as a city filled with unmatched industrial might and a growing population that serves as a core of Atlas’s progress, wealth, and diversity. Proud of this identity, Markev is a unique place for it stands as a bastion of Imperial strength in the far south where the home of a great Highlander people sits as a beacon of greatness. Our district has developed such great enterprises for companies and businesses to thrive, for knowledge to flourish in its libraries, where trade and commerce finds its way, opening a center for social mobility and opportunity. We boast of safety, placing high regard for our soldiers in the Brotherhood of Saint Karl and acknowledging fidelity to our King and to the Emperor under the rule of GOD’s holy law.

 

As your Palatine, I have served under four kings and have kept your best interests in the forefront of the Royal Administration. Since 1634, I served under King Otto II faithfully where I foresaw the formation of government during our arrival here on this continent from Axios in 1642 where I quite literally witness the laying of the cornerstone for this great capital! Under his son, King Otto III, I signed the Crime Prevention and Enforcement Act of 1646 to combat crime, drugs, and banditry along our roads and entry ways to maintain the safety of travelers, citizens, and most particularly, our children. I penned the Doctrine of Otto III, a decree that empowers and vows to protect our great capital from all threats in the Yatl Wastelands as I worked in closely monitoring the events unfolding. I signed the Estermont-Markev Free Trade Agreement in 1643 that established a decree of free trade and bringing in coin to fill our city’s coffers.

 

Working closely with the Lord Maers and Queen Ingrid, the Royal Administration under my premiership sponsored the creation of more housing along the walls and increasing kingdom revenue. As a delegate to the now defunct Global Assembly, I represented our kingdom in emphasizing the rule of the law and the importance of international diplomacy as well as a fight against bandits who harm the vital roadways that so many utilize for travel. I was again appointed to the Office of Lord Chancellor and Palatine of the Realm in 1680 where I served under King Sigmar and now under King Robert. Since then, I have reaffirmed our land in the east, called for a kingdom-wide inquiry in the demonic presence in our institutions, and currently preside over great mercantile growth.

 

Therefore, I have accepted the nomination of the Seventian Rights Lobby and am honored to announce my candidacy to represent the Markev District in the Imperial Parliament. Our cause is the cause for the lowly and the affluent, for the rural and urban, for the defense of vassal rights, to unburden our citizens by fighting for low taxes, and for upholding the rights ordained to our humanity by GOD! I ask for your votes in entrusting me to continue the good work we have accomplished together in the last four decades. Markev requires a representative in Parliament who understands the priorities at hand, who is unwavering in defending our great Highlandic values, and one who reflects the needs of the people. As your Palatine, I have devoted my life to your causes, heard your stories, and have worked unceasingly to preserve the integrity of the Crown and the great atmosphere of our city.”

Hans Rovin, proud Priorist, makes a snide comment about how this candidate dated such an announcement using the Elven Calendar. Perhaps he was simply a Human apologist, or, even more nefarious, one who was Anti-Human.

Emma Ludovar smiles warmly at the announcment.

"A great man, and the perfect candidate for the avocation of the rights of the Human minorities and commonfolk." remarks proud Seventian, Nikatien Drakaene.

[Narthok 10416]

“Can a man really be called a Highlander if he’s never hunted in the woods, worked in the fields or been threatened by the deep cold of a dark night.” Thoromir would query “This man certainly represents the interests of the Haense folk, but for all tha Highland folk. That he cannae claim”
