"Most of the evils in our world are committed by men who violate the individual and free will sanctified in all men. It is self-evident since our founding seven score and thirteen years ago, that this community shall strive upon the freedom granted to each man to determine for himself the path he shall tread.

It further pains us to admit that this land violated its own freedom and the sins of this act are being reaped now by the innocent and the guilty in concert. In this, there is a lesson that none here will survive without the brotherhood and goodwill of his neighbor.

A single vision has been offered to bring salvation to suffering. This is the vision of Sir Dungal Toboerski; and it will fail us all.

This is because one man, no matter how honorable of intent can resolve the tribulations faced by all men. Salvation of a community; is the genesis of community.

Therefore, on behalf of the people. As the voice of reason in unreasoned time; the Knighthood of Toboerski demands the immediate opening of the city polls. Not to vote for the upcoming election, to reckon fully the reperations of the past. We have no right to hold a Councilor election before the people are restored to safety in this emergency.

Upon this ballot must be a decision for the citizen of Lower, the prisoner of refuge camps, and even the freedom fighter in the wreckage-how do you procede now that you have overthrown the monsters that enslaved you not once; but now twice?

Your courage in defeating these monsters, these druegar is the measure of your strength but now show your wisdom. The choices offered, the plans for success will be brought before my Knights and we shall display them fully. In one weeks time; the polls will open and you will vote for two things.

One the plan under which Lower is restored to its freedom. Secondly, vote for the men and woman who shall work to establish fully the details and arrangements for this plan. The representatives you vote shall number eight, you may nominate them during the course of this week as plans for restoration arrive.

You all know my plan, and I will work with you to better it. Let it not be said however that a finer plan can not be offered. I swear my Knights will keep the peace. Some may wish vengeance now for wrongs of the past, we will stop those blinded by rage. Some may wish to quell the voice of freedom from behind a barricade of law, we will erradicate any who try.

The Council must open the ballot. The people can choose their leaders, and choose their freedom. The Knighthood of Toboerski shall maintain its neutrality to bring you this peace."

"The smooth-tongued wreak more harm than the most energetic tyrant, raider, or Tigereye. Remember that, citizens, when you have to choose whether Toboerski speaks for you."

*At the end of the speech Lockwood adressed the crowd*

Citizens of lower, do not be swayed by the honey tipped tounge of the man before you. He cares little for anything but power, and proved so on the day of the revolt, where the attrocities commited against the innocent men, women and children can be blamed on this so called hero of the people.

I know this because I commited them as well, under his order.

I have said my piece. You will stand your trial for that day, and with any luck be stoned. Go about your bussiness of lieing to the public. I am not a good man, but at least people know where I actually stand.
