Kainth's campaign for Council

Notes left around the upper city scribbed by a professional hand.

A new name in the Race.

People of the City, my name is Kainth Iltazyara, I come to your domain where you lay your homes and eat your food with messages of wisdom. I, too, will be joining the race for the elections of the Chieftains that will lead your mighty Tribe, and it is an effort to bring greater freedom and to better the lives of those living within and outside of it that I made this decision.

Many of you may not know me for I spend the majority of my years wandering the lands, fighting that which should not exist such as the demon-spirits, undead-spirits and the Eye-tyrants and tentacule-ones. Coupled with the wisdom of the Shaman of my tribe and of my learnings, I wish to share my learnings and my experience in battle with you, People of the City.

Kainth understands that freedom is the true price that everyone shelters in the City and it is why he believes that after this many years, true freedom has somewhat been forgotten. Kainth wishes to bring back this freedom and responsibility to the people. Wise man once said that to give a man a Rothe is to feed him for a day, but to teach a man to hunt is to feed him for life and that is what has truly been forgotten.

The Machines all-around you that are claimed to defend your city makes you each day more decadent and less free. In order to make up for this decadence, one must make more machines!

And as it has been shown by recent events, these Machines do not have the wit to face most foes, they are like a cane to help and Old man to walk, but a cane that has a great many fissure in it and that may break at any moment. For this, it is important that people of city learn to not rely on the Machines and re-learn to fight, to hunt, to defend their home and their family, to grow and become greater then they are currently are. And Kainth offers this, he offers to teach –every- men of the city that wishes to learn, ways to harvest crops, hunt responsibly, defend his home and defend his family. A return to the simple ways of living.

- For this, he will wish to remove funding to Machines that drain both strength from man and gold from coffers, and give it back to teach the people these basic requirements for survival. He will support those that wish to fight and defend their home such as the Watchmen and help all those who would wish to defend their family do so.

He also sees that hope seems forgotten in the city. Hope seems to be distant, people always looking at the future with a dark eye, but Kainth would remind people that without Hope, life is miserable indeed. For this, even if the men have not yet succeeded, we must support the Seekers and their search for freedom and the surface. For these men and women bring hope to our People, hope that is most required to live, to breathe easy, to strike with vigor and to better ourselves in life.

Continuing on these words, he also sees that much care for the dead has been forgotten. Ever wondered why the dead screams in the city below, why the dead come back to life to fight with living. Why the dead be so restless and disapproving of people living in City? It is because the dead is not cared for. Every dead must be cared for properly and with respect, even the dead of criminals and of evil men, for those are the most likely ones to become restless and pester the living from the Spirit-world. Kainth will strive to improve the conditions and caretaking of the dead, making sure that everyone who dies receive proper rest and proper ritual to send-off to spirit-world in peace and quiet.

Finally, what he sees is most troubling is that leaders of the city seem to be disconnected with the people; they make decision without telling what they see and what they hear. Asking all those who made Home in Canal to move away, showing weakness and crumbling down at the first wound inflicted. Kainth does wish for this if he is Chieftain.

*IF food is becoming low, he will be the first to eat less.

*IF home is being dismantled, he will be the first to sleep on rock.

*IF war is to be fought, he will be the first to fight.

*IF life must be lost, he will be the first to give his for sake of cause.

To summarize his views and what he wishes to bring to the city.

- Less machines, more men to learn to defend home. - Organize hunts and explorations to teach ways to be truly free, to hunt, to harvest to defend home to –everyone- that wishes it. - Return Seekers to city, return hope to city people - Strive for ways to live in harmony with natural world around us - Communicate decisions to people, bring words to people of every act that chieftain do or make - If sacrifice must be made, Chieftain will be the first to make it.

This is what Kainth wishes to bring to the city. A vote for Kainth will be a vote for harmony of people with world around, return to simplistic ways of living and return to true freedom and independence!

Kainth : Harmony with the wilds

The wild is not a friendly place. Most animals learn that to survive, one must be aggressive or one must hide. As man, we are gifted by spirits of Ancestors with gift to see greater picture and think before acting. Understanding the plight of others is one such way.

A sleep cycle ago, a pair of desperate and bold Giant Hunters came to the city. They were the youth of the tribe, foolishly bold and confident in their ability and also... desperate to try and find food for their tribe. They might have spoken with aggression, but who would not if one is hungry and desperate?

These giants were not our ennemy, yet both sides fought and no victor were declared as loss on both sides were great. Chieftains must pick their battles, if they send their people to war, they must respect life and not do so wantonly and foolishly. They must be able to read... what is not necessairly visible with a first glance.

While Drow, Duergars and other evil creatures are entering through the doors of the City below, it becomes increasingly important to pick battle of the city with great care and wisdom. Even if it means giving food at first to disarm wild animal and engage in communion afterward.

Remember that, People of City. Your Chieftain will pick your battles. Do you wish for those who will pick battle because of "Pride" or those that will pick only the important battles for survival?

The aftermath,

The Giants were approached and brought back to peace with the city instead of war for loss of their hunters. Price for this was necessairy and given in effort, battle and hardship; But Kainth and others who follow the Old traditions have managed to settle this without the need for the Giants and City people to clash in war.

If people of city wishes for sensible chieftain who picks battle wisely, but settle these battles with great deal of respect for life of guardians (Watchmen), then People of City should vote for Kainth Iltazyara.
