Artois Printing & Publishing Policy Update Notice Regarding Changes to Printing & Publishing Policies Due to the recent misuse of our open-door policy for the printing facilities, we have decided to revise our policies regarding printing, publishing, and the use of our press. Until now, our doors were open to all citizens of the realm. We have always believed in the importance of honest and principled expression, and thus allowed anyone to print books, papers, pamphlets, posters, and more using the press located in our cellar. This open policy extended especially to the adjacent school, giving students the opportunity to print their work and publish their studies. We are aware that we are among the very few—if not the only—printing establishments in the Crownlands. For this reason, we chose not to restrict access, placing our trust in the citizens not to misuse these resources for improper purposes. However, this policy must now change due to a breach of that trust, specifically the printing and distribution of the “Lady Truthfull” pamphlets. We strongly condemn these publications, as they lack any journalistic integrity and appear to be motivated solely by personal grievance and agenda. As a result, the printing press will no longer be open for unrestricted public use. We will continue to offer free printing services to citizens, but only by appointment. Those wishing to print papers, books, pamphlets, or other materials may request an appointment by leaving a letter in the bookstore mailbox or by contacting us via raven. The use of the printing press will remain free of charge. We sincerely apologize for this change in policy, but the current circumstances make it necessary. We warmly invite you to continue visiting our bookstore. In the coming weeks, we plan to expand our collection with returning classics as well as new titles being published for the first time. Until then, we send you our best regards and wishes.

Etienne Halcourt for Mayor! The Campaign for Mayorship of Saint Godwinsburg for Etienne Halcourt To all great Citizen of the City of Godwinsburg ! Tis with great joy that I apply as candidate to be your Mayor! I very dearly love our great city and our community, as a journalist I get to engage with all of you. thanks to my Local newspaper, the Citizen Compass I get to listen to all of your stories, interviewing many of you already and sharing all these local stories with you, it is a job I love to do and will continue to do but I hope that I can do much more as a mayor, continuing to bring together our great community ! In addition with my Bookstore I provide you with books and studying helps for your children but also lecture for passtime and learning ! and of course thanks to the Artois Bank I am able to give out loans and funds to those who need them ! 1. Helping out the Boroughs of Saint Godwinsburg Financially The Early years have been difficult for everyone, coming to this new city, building up a new life. All that required hard work and a lot of money! This is also true for the Boroughs of the City and the great Houses in general. Boroughs are very expensive to maintain, costs are high for the Alderman managing them and of course the peoples renting in the Boroughs. My Hope is to ease the financial burden of the Boroughs through loan schemes. Helping out the Boroughs in these early years still while their still trying to find a footing. Once they do, the Boroughs will make more money than they cost and can lower the taxes to their residents or even use surplus to invest into the city! 2. Fill up the City Library at the Prince´s Institute & Support it The Prince´s Institue has established itself once more in the city, into great facilities ! great classrooms, grand halls and of course a library! Unfortunatly the Library is still lacking in books for students but also Citizens to read and use. This is something I want to change! Through my Bookshop of course but also through partnerships with the Northern Geographical Society but also other scholars around the world, get acces to books to display at the Library, filling it up so all citizens can enjoy it. I also hope to generally support the Prince´s Institute as it has been through trying times with fleeting Professors not attenting their classes. 3. Ensure Cheap school supplies for those that need them I care a lot for the young residents of our city, my bookshop being near the Prince´s Institute, I decided early on to ensure to create all kinds of schools supplies needed as well as useful books for students to learn with. As Mayor I would like to capitalize on that even more and provide even cheaper or even free school supplies to those who need them ! 4. Create a museum exhibit on Alban History A room is already set aside at the Prince´s Institute but nothing has been done yet, I want to fill that room up and make it into a great exhibit showcasing the History of Alba and that of Godwinsburg. Having such an exhibit will showcase our stories, our History to other visiting our City, and be a great magnet for tourism ! 5. Host grand events I am a very proud citizen of Godwinsburg like so many of you, I love this city and even as private citizen I want to do my part. As mayor though I could host grand events, to make us all proud of our city, mostly now with the season of festivities ahead I hope to showcase Godwinsburg as The City of festivities, decorated for the occasion and with great markets and the like for all to enjoy! 6. Listening to your needs The Most important part is listening to your needs as citizens but also the needs of the Boroughs and that of the Houses. My door will always be open and I will always try to accommodate projects and ideas that will benefit the city and its residents. So this is my bit to be mayor, that and of course so much more! , I am proud to be Alban, I am proud to be a Citizen in this City and I hope to help it and its citizens to be proud of this city! And keep making it greater! Signed Etienne Guiscard Halcourt

Etienne Halcourt for Mayor! The Campaign for Mayorship of Elizabeth for Etienne Halcourt To all great Citizen of the City of Elizabeth ! Tis with great joy that I apply as candidate to be your Mayor! I very dearly love our great city and our community, as a journalist I get to engage with all of you. thanks to my Local newspaper, the Citizen Compass I get to listen to all of your stories, interviewing many of you already and sharing all these local stories with you, it is a job I love to do and will continue to do but I hope that I can do much more as a mayor, continuing to bring together our great community ! 1. Negotiating a Charter for our great City : Something that our City is missing is a Charter! one that defines the working of it as well as the rights and duties of the city and of course the rights of its Citizens. I am a strong believe that a City is like a special vassal, a community which should be defined by law. This would strengthen our sense of belonging & community even more and set in our inner workings to efficiently run our great city. 2. Holding Town Hall meetings. As a Journalist, I of course know of the importance of listening, and as someone conducting regular interviews I also know the value of asking the right questions. As your Mayor I would be your representative, and as such I would need your opinions to do so adequalty Lastly, while a single person can have good ideas, the greatest ideas are those shared together! thus, holding town Hall meetings are a valuable tool to keeping our city great 3. Strengthening our sense of Community and Pride of our City One of the reasons I created the Citizen Compass is exactly for that very same reason, I want my readers to be proud of their city, their region and read about local stories of local peoples! I wish to continue this as mayor as Community is important to me, when peoples come into our city and see how proud we are of it, how strong we are together they will surily want to be part of it 4 Organise Sport events with other Cities what better way to bring together a Community through sport competitions? I certainly love that idea, creating a Sportsteam for our city, encourage other cities to do the same and have special games every few years ! So this is my bit to be mayor, that and of course so much more! Just because I do not talk of buildings projects or local economy does not mean that I do not care for them, I just think its more important, mostly looking forward to establish good administrative structures as well as strenghening the community even more ! make peoples say , I am proud to be Alban, I am proud to be a Citizen in this City.
