The following notes are raised outside the Crone, near the stairs, near the Beacon, and on the wall near the barricade. They are well written and neatly trimmed.

We live in the Underdark. I don't need to tell you that trouble's coming.

If you're up to the challenge of holding fast to our home and helping Lower to prosper, seek Lucius Westmore as he creates a new and dynamic group that will work to defend our lot in Greater Sanctuary.

What the Guardians will do: - First and foremost -- Protect our home from all threats, particularly foreign threats. - Help promote learning, providing a community center for instruction on topics including but not limited to: History, Politics (domestic, inter-Sancturian, and foreign), Religion, the Arcane Arts, Engineering, Cooking, Hunting, Self-Defense, and Underdark Survival techniques. - Promote Lower's autonomy. We are Lowersmen, nothing else. We are not attached by legal barriers in any way to Upper Sanctuary or its satellites. - Serve the community through the organization and execution of public service projects, including but not limited to: construction, cleaning, waste management, etc..

What the Guardians will not do: - Be police. We're not here to tell you what you can and can't do. We are protectors, not law enforcers. This excludes domestic violence, where discretion will be used and peaceful resolution will be found without the typical, senseless bloodshed. Two consenting parties will never be stopped from conflict unless the harming of innocents or Lower herself come into play. - Allow Lower to be used as an aegis against the will of the people. Lower is not a human shield. Be careful so as not to allow your actions hurt the innocent people of Lower. - Require anything of anyone. Noone has to fight against foreign invasion. Noone has to attend lessons. Everything is being provided, it is your own choice to be a part of anything that happens at no cost unless explicitly stated otherwise, at the discretion of the coordinators.

Join Lower, join me, and join...
