Citizens of Sanctuary!
Everywhere I look there is stark rampant corruption and evil twisted plots conceal the truth behind murky mists. I am Sandro Ubel, Lower born and bred, descendant from mighty Ubel. Long have I watched as Upper Sanctuary sliped into the grasp of great corruption. The twisted foul slaver plot of the accursed Sheriff Walters is what stirred me to take action and run for Upper Sanctuary Councilor, to seek the truth and make sure the other organisations of Upper are not doing similiar things. Here are my stances on various issues.
The Spellguard Mages Too long have their practices remained hidden from the Council eye. To my knowledge, no one has met their leader in person for a great deal of time and there are rumours that Commander Simms is not even the true leader of the mages. If I am elected, I will demand a meeting in -person- with this mage and do everything within my power to conduct a full investigation of the Spellguard to ensure they are not up to any foul play. Currently, I am of the belief their budget is too high and must be cut to go towards rebuilding the Watch into an agency without corruption. The Watch I will do everything within my power to rebuild this organisation and return its power to a Sheriff who reports directly to the Upper Council. All files from the Watch will be open for Councilor perusal so we may observe with an eagle eye any foul play. Lower Sanctuary Lower Sanctuary has true freedom, it has declared independence. I will do everything in my power to make sure it remains that way so long as its people wish it. If I am elected, Upper Sanctuary will -not- invade Lower Sanctuary and I will see that complete amnesty is given to all those involved in the Ubel Rebellion. Also, I will demand reparations for crimes commited in Lower Sanctuary by Spellguard and Watch officials. Duergar All who enter Sanctuary are welcomed in its walls, however the Duergar business and its lower prices is driving Sanctuary smiths out of business due to the Duergar's competitive advantage. If I am elected Councilor I will introduce hefty tariffs on all Duergar goods, ensuring Sanctuary smiths receive a fair go. I will also try to work out a trade deal with the Stoutheart dwarves so they may foster their growing smith business and eventually replace the Duergars' role in Sanctuary.
The Seekers They have been operating for 150 years or so, yet we are still no closer to the surface. If I am elected, I will investigate what exactly they are doing and how they are doing it, and from their decide whether they need a budget increase or decrease.
The Society of the Ordered Mind These men operate outside of Sanctuary, fighting random monsters for no apparent reason other then "the monsters are there". . By attacking random creatures called "Abberations" in the Underdark, they not only place themselves at risk, they also place Sanctuary at risk by drawing attention to our settlement and angering these beings. If I am elected I will investigate their operations and act to try and stop their reckless activities.
External Threats It has become apparent that some of the monsters outside of Sanctuary are aware of our settlement. This gives even more reason for the Watch to be rebuilt with a greater force that is directly controlled by the Council. Further, I will see that tunnels around Sanctuary are altered enough with controlled magical blasting to ensure that the enemy is misinformed. Economy I shall be enacting developing policies to foster our own economy so in the future we may expand in trade with peaceful Underdark folk such as the deep gnomes. There will be incentives for merchants to start business and begin trade.
Lifespan Many councilors over the years have been assassinated or otherwise, just died. I promise that if I am elected, I will -not- die. I promise to remain safe and away from harm. I promise to live to end of my term and if I lie you may all curse my name with utter hatred if it suits you, though that will not happen as I plan to live. Vote Sandro Ubel for Councilor! Corruption in all its forms shall be stamped out under his guidance!
