The Bold Candidate, Alythia Endore

[Lindah]

I wake up every morning with nervous laughter, relieved that the criminal scum, Iris Arsali, was revealed to the public to be a member of the Syndicate. A cunning, very manipulative woman she is! Had she not been outed, it would have become a great security threat - the capital itself would have been at risk. To all the supporters of Iris Arsali, who voiced their sympathies and admiration towards this Rhoynish ex-candidate, I hope that you've all changed your minds, and realise that this is no joke.

For as much as you would like to think that the Rhoynish people of Sudbury are mere refugees or migrants to be treated with great care, tolerance and acceptance, the undeniable facts remain the same. The majority of them are sympathetic towards anti-Esshar sentiments, many of them are involved in the uncontrollable crime sprees in Sudbury, or are even spies and informants for terrorist groups such as the Syndicate. And some, I assume, are nice people, but this is a very, very small number. Overwhelmingly, they are terrorists, those who desire to change the political landscape of Esshar through violent means.

Iris Arsali just so happened to try and do it through peaceful means, not by terrorism, but by infiltrating the government itself! And there was no better chance for her to do so than to participate in district elections, and especially in Sudbury, where she could fool people into supporting her. But I, Alythia Endore, could not be fooled.

Despite the rumours and the slanders, I still stand firmly on my ground. No, I do not hate Rhoynish people - I merely want to monitor them for it is necessary more than ever now. For if even Iris Arsali could put out a kind, concerned face, then so too can the others. I want to quicken their integration and assimilation process. Because, I, Alythia Endore, do not believe in actions, but in solutions. Simply throwing criminals into the hands of the knights won't fix the issue of crime in Sudbury. Similarly, torturing the Rhoynish residents won't help to ease them into Esshar.

I am not an extremist, nor am I prejudiced. And to the rumours, I say: No, I do not hate Beastkin. In fact, I have Beastkin friends and siblings! The Syndicate wants to cause chaos, to disunite us, targetting groups of peoples who are marginalised by society in the past and or in the present, spreading rumours like wildfire. That's what they want, and we must not fall for their tactics of sowing dissent.

A vote for Iris Arsali would have been a vote for further destabilisation of Sudbury. Thank the stars this cannot happen.

The Faith, or the church as many in Sudbury would say, has openly endorsed a candidate. I have to say, I was never even on the list, simply because I was busy, and cautious of public appearances naturally. Because as Iris is out of the race, the Syndicate will do all that it can to influence the election through other means. In other news, I'm watching my back in case of any assassination attempts, as I am very vocal; frankly the only candidate willing to touch the Rhoynish question.

The church endorses Erick Falstrik. For he is, of course, a knight, and passed the tests from the church. But what does Righteousness, Justice, and Faith mean to the average person in Sudbury? Vague keywords of which are used to describe a churchgoer and, of course, a knight of the Order of the First Light. In other news, it is gibberish to Sudbury people. The people don't demand a knight who is 'right', who follows the brand of 'justice' of the First Light, and 'Faith' in the stars.

The people want an accountable mayor who can get the job done, who actually plans to tackle the issues by their roots, and holds no bias. And as a note, my life is separate from those of my family, my other Endore siblings. They do not represent me, and they know better than to expect anything from me.

Solutions Over Temporary Action!

I'm Alythia Endore and I approve of this message.
