The Manifesto of the Sons of Ubel

A Public Introduction

An idea, a radical thought, is haunting the streets of Lower. The spies and the hired thugs of the Spellguard fear it, but the wise of Lower realize that their suffering is nearly over. This idea - the 'Law' can no longer trample upon the children of Lower! The fallacies inherant in the dubious 'virtue' of civic order have been exposed as lies. It was the heavy hand of the Law that was behind the brutal corruption of the Tigereyes. It was to preserve their power that the Watch sold your wives into slavery. They do not protect you, but strike you down. The wise man says No More and realizes that he must stand up!

This is the Modern Enligtenment, and you all stand to gain by partaking in it. The streets of Lower are without direction, and it is high time that this confusion is put to an end. The State which controls the least is the best for its people. Lower has no need for mercenary thugs to govern its people. Operatives of the Watch or Spellguard used to keep order will be rebuffed. Lower should be defending itself. Each man is his own guard, and he watches over himself.

It is the belief of the Sons of Ubel that every man should be free to do what he wants when he wants to do it. So long as he is willing to stand up for himself, we will allow no Watch spy or tyrant to trample upon the freedom that every man should be assured by virtue of his birth!

If you know that Ubel's teachings on freedom and prosperity are what is best or simply wish to know more about his teachings, write to Knickerson at the Crone.

Let no heavy-handed Lower State flourish, for to do so is to allow the children of the Tigereyes to control your life! Long live the freedom that Ubel inspires!

The Seperation of Upper and Lower

Quite simply, the Sons of Ubel view the seperation of Upper and Lower as a good and positive step towards freedom. Despite what those bent on maintaining an iron grip on Lower would have you believe, a district seperated from Upper can thrive, despite all the difficulties she faces. We, the men and women of Lower, are in fact better off seperate. King Bhast the Chosen decreed that Lower was seperate, and so it remains today. Though the Bhastard, a former Spellguard Agent, was evil to the core, the Sons of Ubel see a silver lining to his edict. For the first time in many months, Lower is free.

In a field of flawed ideologies, it is nearly impossible to say what the right government for a free and stable Lower could be. So many seem good, but all have their limitations. Therefore, what stands as the potential best among the field of good possibilities is a free state devoid of the heavy-handed rule of governing despotism. Rather than a central police force with hundreds of club-carrying guards at its beck and call, each neighborhood should come together to defend itself against common threats. Justice is left to the individual Lowerman, not an aloof bureaucrat in Upper.

The Sons of Ubel wish Upper no ill will. Were we inclined to build an army of massive proportions, we would not invade and take it as our own to rule. While we do not feel that a ruling Council is the best possible way to rule a society, we do not despise and wish to see it overthrown; while we have no desire to hold influence on a Council that handles Upper's affairs, we do wish it well as a positive check on the corruption that plagues the Spellguard, for which we thank them. We see them as partners in the pursuit of mutual survival, not rivals, and if Upper were threatened we would come to her aid. It is our hope to live peacefully with Upper, and unless provoked we have no desire to come to blows. We will not tollerate operatives of organizations of oppression to walk our streets and plot to shackle us again.

Dream of a better society, brothers and sisters of Lower. Sip from the cup of true freedom for the first time since you were shackled in slavery, and in doing so realize how life was intended to be lived.
