Today I stand on a Sanctuary that is weak.

Our Watch stands fragmented. Our toll gate is broken, and complaints of a metal shortage is ever rising. Our children have resorted to selling papers in the streets instead of embracing a life of academic achievement in our non-existent schooling system. The Spellguard and the devout have left us to rot. The mercantile efforts are diminishing.

This next Council will require a set of five who are willing to make action. These men must be bold in their legislation, and assert their power.

Fellow citizens, by electing me into the Council, I promise you:

- An immediate solution to the metal shortage. - A stronger Watch. - A Council that will make Sanctuary proud. No longer will we endure embarrassment. - An incorporation with the Spellguard and the New Dunwarren. Slaves must stick together under the shackles of slavery. As ex-slaves, we must continue this practice. - Legislation for the children. We must teach our kids to empower themselves through an education.

Take on the Bathulin promise. Embrace an empowered Sanctuary.

- Rohet Bathulin, Council Candidate

My fellow candidates in the Council running have proven themselves despicable. Their focus is not on what they will offer you as Councilors. Their focus is on muckraking.

Accusations between our candidates range from basic insults between candidates "K" and Porki Thule, to a large variety of perverted jokes. It is apparent to me that these candidates are not serious about their running, and thus are unsuited for the position.

I dare question our more reputable runners. This last Council Term, minimal action has been taken. The School of War has been opened, and a bazaar stall has been sold. No action was made to attract the faithful of New Dunwarren back to what they should be calling home. No action was made to negotiate with the Spellguard. As reputable as our past Councilors may appear, their lack of action makes them just as regrettable as the ones who yell "Porki Fool" in the streets.

Fellow citizens, I am a man of action. I have a dream for this city. Under my guidance, the Old Sanctuary will be empowered. No longer will the Lower scum mock us. No longer will the Spellguard threaten us, and no longer will the New Dunwarren damn us.

Take on the power I offer. Take on the Bathulin promise.

- Rohet Bathulin, Council Candidate

Education is pivotal to empower our settlement. Today, our children are just as stupid as those beggar brats of Lower. The government offers us no solution to give our ever increasing youth direction and motivation.

I bring forth my proposal for a formal system of education in Sanctuary to be read by all.

- Our Orphanage will serve a dual purpose. Not only will it shelter our homeless youth, but it will teach. I have visited our Orphanage recently, only to find books that do not educate our children, but rather insult their lack of intelligence. Speeches of past Councilors will not teach a nine year old anything, let alone grasp their attention. What education the Orphanage has to offer today is unacceptable.

- Orphanage caretaker Ernestine Helthor does an embarrassing job in representing the state in matters of the youth. Never have I seen her read, teach or even feed the children. Kids bully one another, and we citizens have noticed this. Helthor will be fired and replaced with someone more motivated to raise the standards of our young.

- The Office of Education will be established and stationed within the Orphanage. It will be headed by a Principal who will work directly under the Council, with the teaching staff as the Principal's advisors. The Principal will be tasked with fine tuning the exact mechanisms of the school and for deriving the grade standards.

- The newly established school will have a grade system. All students will start at Grade 0 and will work up through Grade 16. To be promoted from one grade to another, the student will have to pass a promotionary test. Students will work at their own pace, and not be rushed to completion, although those who blatantly slack will face serious disciplinary action.

- School sessions will last for ten hours. A school holiday will be established every 12th day for the students to relax.

- Students are recommended to begin school at age five, and graduate at age 17. All children starting at age six will be required to attend, with few exception granted by the newly founded Office of Education.

- Elective classes will be offered by city organizations, such as the Watch, Office of the Herald, Office of Engineering and the Office of Education. Students may voluntarily enroll in these courses in order to pursue these careers.

- To fit the increased demand on the newly founded school, the Orphanage will be expanded. It is too small in its current state to house our needs. The Council will contract the Office of Engineering to satisfy this.

It is under this system that a child will grow up not as a complete bogan, but as men and women who will outsmart even our most educated. The Office of Engineering will flourish with scholars, our Council candidates will continue to make us proud and the mechanisms of our government and society will run in perfect unison.

Other candidates say they are in favor of education, but what have they shown to prove these allegations? Under my guidance, our city will become great.

Embrace the power. Embrace the Bathulin promise.

- Rohet Bathulin, Council Candidate
