CITIZENS OF THE FREE AND INDEPENDENT REPUBLIC OF SANCTUARY:

As we have known all along, the Upper Tyrants were nothing more than vicious slavers bent on enslaving us all. The truth has long fallen on deaf ears until a brave woman, loyal to the ideals of independence and freedom was nearly put to death for uncovering the awful, horrifying truth!

None other than Sheriff Eugene Walters, the man who controlled the Watch, has been put to death for the crime of slavery. He and along with many of his accomplices within the Watch, enslaved our children for profit so that they might better fun their organization of tyranny and oppression.

We, THE CITIZENS OF THE FREE AND INDEPENDENT REPUBLIC OF SANCTUARY, threw off their tyrannical bonds. Will those who live in the Upper Ward follow suit? Will those who live in the Upper Ward join us in FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE? Only time shall tell, but we have a more pressing matter on our hands. A matter that is even more threatening to us than slavery itself!

Do you think you're safe, citizen? NAY! Do you think that the SpellTyrants are your friends? NAY! No, there are much darker and sinister things afoot and we now face the gravest trial of all: The SpellTyrants have been placed in charge of the Watch.

Yet, the truth about them has yet to be revealed! The Watch had secrets, but the SpellTyrants have secrets of their own! The Vigilant One teaches us to anticipate attacks, to be ready and to know our foes. The Doombringer teaches us that those who do not respond to attacks against their person or attacks against those that they hold dear only invite future attacks.

I speak to you now, and tell you the truth! Know our enemy! Respond to their threat against our FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE. The SpellTyrants were once lead by a woman by the name of Melinda Bresley, as those who know their history are aware. You are being lead to believe that the Spellguard is now being run by one called Commander Simms.

That is a lie!

Melinda Bresley is dead, but not in the way you have been lead to believe - she is now a Vampire Bitch Queen, one who has extended her life through the foul arts of Necromancy! It is she; the Vampire Bitch Queen Melinda Bresley who leads the SpellTyrants in secret, and it is she who now controls both the Watch and the SpellTyrants.

We, THE FREE AND INDEPENDENT CITIZENS OF SANCTUARY now stand on the precipice of slavery at the hands of a Vampric Whore. You may think these accusations ludicrous, yet I ask you would you have believed that Sheriff Eugene Walters were a slaver - a man who sold children into slavery - only a few days prior?

This is the truth as I know it, and I swear this to you in the name of the ever Vigilant One and the Doombringer, may they both be ever watchful and may justice be done! And should they come to claim our home, let it be known that they shall have to swim a river of blood! They will taste fire and steel, and we shall be cold in our graves before we relinquish our FREEDOM!

RESIST THE SPELLTYRANTS! STAND FOR FREEDOM! STAND FOR INDEPENDENCE! THE REPUBLIC SHALL NEVER FALL!
