"Yet neither is Nephilim the one who has launched this poorly-disguised campaign against political dissenters and 'criminals', either. Nor is he the one whose incompetence has seen a political party leader and a citizen of our great fortress condemned to permanent isolation, for the safety of our fortress as a whole."

"And that is without the effects your supposed 'law and order' has been having on our people's morale. I have walked among the fort's halls; I have given ear to their grievances, their sorrows, their frustrations. You let your ambitions for Goldsilver's future blind yourself to the problems before you, and I cannot, in good conscience, support you in this election."

"Yet, by the same token... I must recommend a degree of leniency for Eniteris, should Nephilim gain another term. The problems of his reign are undeniable, aye, but I question the charge of Treason on practical grounds - though the Jester-King may be an incompetent fool, incapable of running a wagon (let alone a kingdom), should word filter back to the Throne that their 'rightfully appointed' Baron was indicted for treason, I doubt that the Jester's response would be a pleasant one.
For now, I will neither nominate myself nor support any candidate. We shall see if it changes in time."
