[To a very small crowd in the town hall, Ambassador Rook moves to the podium. His jeweled helm refracts the light brilliantly as his baritone voice booms throughout the hall.]
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We've gathered here today because of our hopes and dreams for a brighter future. We all want to see Sanctuary propel onward and upward, to make progress as a community, and to make progress as individuals. Each election season we gather at the polls, meet the candidates and decide as a community who will be best to lead us to prosperity. It is my hope that you put your faith in me.
It's very easy to get lost in the issues, the promises that candidates make. It's easy to get wrapped up with the person that yells the loudest, has the most controversial plans, or the most clever nick name. I'm not going to resort to these tactics, for better or for worse, because it’s simply not who I am. Who I am is someone many of you know personally. You know me as a diplomat, a man with many connections and a man with few, if any, enemies.
You know that on the council, I would stand as a voice of reason, as someone willing to work the difficult compromises that come with the territory of sharing power with others. You know that I will get things done, moving the debate from clashing ideologies to enacting actual policies somewhere in the middle. You know that I will work hard to ensure that every citizen has a place to sleep, that our city is properly prepared in its defenses, and that I will leave no person behind in our caravan toward brighter days ahead.
From the Canal Ward refugee, to the wealthiest nobles in our city...From the Spellguard agent, to the New Dunwarren Priest...It is my hope to represent -all- of Sanctuary. It is my hope to represent you, Sanctuary. Tradition, Honor and Excellence. This will be our legacy, for years to come.
Thank you.
[Rook leaves with a sword salute, essentially ignoring any questions]
