Our enemies are legion, citizens of Sanctuary. This is an obvious fact; many of you will laugh that I am even bothering to point this out. Too many candidates for Council, however, have forgotten this. They speak and act as if Sanctuary was a relatively peaceful surface village, while in truth we are at war or a heartbeat away from it with all of our neighbors.

Do you trust the drow? The duergar? The beholders? The illithids? These neighbors of ours are vile to the core, all of them, and if any one of them enslaved us, the others would cheer at our lost freedom. Allying with these fiends is pointless. Trading with them is, to put it bluntly, stupid.

Sanctuary possesses the weapons to be rid of the illithid threat once and for all; the automata. Without brains to eat or dazzle, they can march forward into the mind flayer colonies, smashing and burning every tentacle-faced monster they encounter, while freeing countless slaves.

Vote for dead mind flayers. Vote for victory. Vote Christair Salter.
