Citizens,

Times are growing harder in our City, as we are beset on all sides by terrors in the darkness. However, I beseech you. Do not look to the fall of Azzam as something to falter over; it is something to mourn, of course, but do not let it slow us from our true path.

In these last few weeks, we have experienced great trials and tribulations. But so too, do we experience great boons; once more, our City has a Bresley within it. Once more, the Seekers sit in our home with us, and watch over us. While the Spellguard positions itself to gain more and more power, the Seekers continue with redoubled effort a way to pull us all far beyond their grasp.

The Council this term, has failed you in many ways. I hold myself partially responsible. But, I tell you, we shall end the anarchy in the streets. We shall put an end to the turmoil our City faces, and the Drow at our Gates.

Elections draw nigh, and I tell you I shall run again. I hope many of you will put your faith in myself, in Michael Bresley, and in the Seekers, as we draw near voting day. Do not forget, that even in these dark depths, we must experience trouble, to get to paradise.
