"It was to my great surprise to awake this morning to find my fellow mali'thill beckon my name to take Sohaer once more. To this I say, ahern ito nae'leh. I will run in this election not for myself, but for you, the people. There is a tacit assumption that the point of gaining power is to take advantage of it and line one's pocket and distribute it among friends and family. This is a rotten ideal and has to stop. Reform delayed is revolution begun. If you the people bestow upon me the right to act as Head of State, I will focus on bringing about institutions for the people by the people. It is not right nor just that we're all in this for ourselves when in actuality we're in this together. This State is nothing without the people and the people are nothing without the State. Civil service is the life-force of our continuation. Blood and turmoil take root with resistance to change. Whether we advance peacefully and quickly on a path of progress or succumb to injustice and anarchy is up to you. Reform delayed is revolution begun! I, Okarir'indor Lelien Lazul have been shaped by the great leaders of our past in all fields of study. I have served faithfully as your longest standing vanguard of knowledge on the council. Choose me not because of popularity, but for merit. As your Head of State, I will not stop until each citizen is thoroughly and healthily engaged with elmaehr'sae hiylun'ehya. On you it depends. There will be a future."
