Did you know, in less than a week, elections are taking place in Upper Sanctuary? Did you know that anyone with a citizen stone can vote? Did you know anyone of a non-monstrous can enter the town hall in Old Sanctuary and get a citizen stone? Yes, that means you.
That means you can vote, but no doubt you are thinking, why should I? Are not all Upper Councillors the same? The answer is no! Many councils of the past have attempted aggressive military actions on lower, and many current nominees would do so again. They dream of a unified Sanctuary, and we all know when the talking is over, when you have again stated your desire for self sovereignty, they will resort to violence. Even without overt control, they will try and influence you, to tax you, to control you. The Spellguard still walk invisible among you!
So vote for Aledrec of Yhaunn! Take the time to walk up the steps and have your say. Aledrec supports your independence and freedom. He believes that Lower knows what is best for Lower. If specific people or parties want to buy and sell goods to citizens of Upper, or want to enter into personalised defence deals, then let them, but there will be no mandates from above. No ultimatums of order and control.
Vote for Aledrec; vote to keep Upper away from Lower!
