My fellow citizens, as we all know, the time soon approaches for new electoral debates and a new batch of candidates to step forward and claim a piece of this city's history through service in the Council. I have read the works of your former Councilors, and where they have insisted on being unecessarily long winded, I promise to be concise.

I look about this Sanctuary and see a shambling mess of a dream. The Dream, once written and believed in by Albert Ubel and Frederick Bresley has been tarnished, my fellow citizens. We may be living in a free place, but the power of some has made this city no more free in a sense than the very steps of Traensyr, where many of us still carry the scars of whip lashings we received as slaves. I walk about the streets of Lower Sanctuary and see Tigereyes consorting with Drow. I walk the streets of Upper Sanctuary and see Spellguard associates haggling with merchants and harrasing well meaning citizens rather than doing what we damn well pay them to do!

To this I say, NO MORE!

No more shall we cower and fear before inward threats. No more will we tolerate inept lawmen. No more shall we see the dream of Frederick and Albert besmirched by drunks and weaklings in our Council! As your Councilor I will see that those who break our laws are punished, if not by our laws and our oftentimes slack-jawed and inept enforcers, then by my massive arms and perfectly polished longsword shall they feel the sting of vengeance!

Citizens, look inside your hearts, look about the city, and look for one who you can trust. I may not be as comely or as well spoken as those who may oppose me, but know that my drive and ambition match that of any man in this city tenfold.

Any citizen who wishes a more in depth explaination of my policy and wish for reform may speak with me in person. As my campaign team assembles, so shall the city be informed further of my ambitions!

The Baron promises reform. The Baron promises a safer Sanctuary. The Baron promises freedom without fear! Cast your vote for The Baron!

Due to the mishandled facts concerning Spellguard Associates, I would like to clarify.

Members of the Spellguard do -not- receive -any- payment for their actions. We do not receive montly, weekly or even daily stipends from the Council or our superiors within the Spellguard. A Spellguard is completely volunteering his aid to the city. Any and all gold received from the Council goes to further research required to keep Sanctuary safe and to maintain the Animatrons.

That being said, the Spellguard Associates do not receive a portion of the gold from the Council but are payed out of the pockets of the Spellguard Members themselves. The Associate Program is -not- maintained by the Council, it is a program started and maintained by the Spellguard members themselves.
