Wharftown, 2 Anno Imperii

Citizens & beings of Wharftown, the day of dissent has once again cast a black sun across our lands. Do not be deceived by this shadow of "elections", my people. Have you not prospered under my rule? Has peace not been arrived at, with Wharftown in a far stronger position than she has been in a decade or more?

Some may come crawling out of the woodwork, prophets of doom, anarchists, the spineless agents of foreign powers - foreign powers who would bombard you with artillery in their own name. You remember what happened, and need only consult the cenotaph to see what chaos brings to town.

As last year, the following edict is in effect: anyone who dares stand against my rightful rule, who would challenge me for this town which I have defended and whose people I dearly love and cherish as I would my own household; any such being who "stands" for "election" in that peculiar, Cordorian fashion, shall find themselves executed without regard for sanctuary, jurisdiction, or peace treaties.
