Artiev Colborn's Mayoral Campaign - A New Paradisus
 

Spoiler

 

I came to Petra as an immigrant not too long ago, to find a job and opportunity. I could've looked for a job in my native country - Haense - but I didn't. I was drawn to our Commonwealth's promise; the opportunity for new men to arise and make a name for themselves. In this election we do not just vote as citizens of a small town, but as the founding generation of a new nation, a republic where common men and the nobles of the old regime can agree to share power. A nation of promise, that is what drew me to this fair land where I now serve as Master of the Hunt.

Now I run for Mayor of Petra's capital, to rise to the occasion and do my part in contributing to this young nation's success. For I believe we have the ability to shape here something truly extraordinary. We did not see the times of Horen and Julia, we did not witness Paradisus, but what if we could shape a Paradisus of our own? I believe Petra can be perfected for all members of our society, starting in Valfleur.

That is what I wish to pursue in my mayorship, aiming for the following goals to make this dream come true:

-I wish to establish a public library in Valfleur, so that Petra can become a centre of learning and educate those who seek to make their fortune here. I will personally see to it a large donation of books to this cause is secured.

-I wish to establish the position of Aedile, of which there will be two. These shall be elected by public election in the town square two years after a mayoral election, giving them a term of four years. The Aediles shall serve to hold the Mayor accountable, ensure the Mayoral budget is spent appropriately and represent the interests of the townsfolk on a day to day basis. This position shall help to keep our town's governing accountable and fair, and with the right to bring day-to-day concerns of the citizens to the Mayor's desk, they keep his rule representative.

-I wish to hold a festival to attract visitor with a market to make some extra income for our merchants as well as holding several smaller activities, tying into my position as Master of the Hunt. I shall ensure there be plenty of possibility not just for our citizens to enjoy themselves, but also for our knights and soldiers to prove their prowess and valour.

-Lastly, I wish to expand our town's facilities so that Valfleur may provide for everyone's needs and thus in time grow into a true Paradisus. This would include the likes of a herbal garden for the Clinic, a proper training site for the Sons as well as smaller concerns like the improvement of infrastructure.

I Shall Not Rest, 'til We Have Built Paradisus in Petra's Green and Pleasant Land!
