A TIME FOR UNITY

---

People of Haense, I first would like to thank you for your support though this election. For today is not a victory for me, but for all of Haense. This is a step forward for all of us, no matter what walk of life you hail from; the time has come for the voice of the people to be heard.  The ideas of the Highlander spirit have not left us, and remain present in our minds and souls. With this spirit we are bound together as one nation, one blood, one people.  

 

Together, we of Haense have the ability to make the changes necessary to keep our great kingdom strong.  It falls not to those outside our lands, but to the beating heart of Sigismund’s people to see ourselves prosper.  

 

Part of being a Highlander means to be independent, and strive to see that your success is borne on the back of your own labor.  But this independence led to a rift between past administrations and the people, as the leaders forgot that we are beholden to our people.  As the Senator of Haense, I fully intend to see this rift mended, and that all regardless of opinion or politics see their voice heard. Let no Highlander believe that they cannot approach me and discuss what I intend to do, or what would benefit them.

 

Already supporters of the opposition has declared a subpoena of the Department of Civil Affairs; they do not believe that our victory was fairly won.  But the people have spoken. All they do now is sow discord amongst our people in a time when unity is needed more than ever. They endanger not only Haense, but humanity as a whole.  I urge them to accept the results so that we may come together and push for a brighter future. They may keep pulling away, but I will keep my arm outstretched to mend this chasm between us.

 

My friends, we stand on the brink of a bright future for Haense.  All I ask is that you accept my hand and stand beside me, so that we can lead our kingdom to greatness.  The divisions of our past will be burned away as we look to a united future.

 

For Haense!  For the Highlands!
