Greetings, citizens:

I do not normally let myself be phased by pointless slander to my name, but I thought it best to touch upon some of the points raised.

Firstly, these notes call me "noble". I am flattered, but I am not noble, nor have I even called myself such. I am a man, like any other. When I am stabbed, I do not bleed gold, I bleed blood.

Secondly, the notes speak of my greed. Those of you who know me, will be well aware that I have donated sizable sums to both the Sanctuary Shelter and the Sanctuary Library. These are not attempts to gain political sway, which is why I never mentioned them earlier. These are donations from the heart, to institutions I wish to see thrive.

I hope these few words will disperse the vicious rumours that originate from those who seek to see political unrest in Sanctuary's chosen government.
