Magkahn is quick to nominate himself. He stood in town square on a crate, armed in ceremonial and overly fancy armor. His fist clutched tight and rose high, as his savage voice boomed across the market. This was his speech: "Citizens of the Republic! Hear me, Magkahn the decapitator! For too long have the weak fools of Rheiloghi been unpunished for their assault on the very Republic its self! I have seen their lands, I have drank their wine, and I know they plot against us! They desire nothing more than to reduce the people to slaves! As your humble Warlord, I would bring them nothing but death and conquest! Elect me as your Supreme Chancellor and I will see to it, the enemies of the Republic die! We will burn their marble pillared halls, and drag their so-called 'nobles' from their thrones and behead them! The cowardly will tremble before the onslaught of the Republic! Let blood be found in every street of Rheiloghi and death be upon every corner! Let their Duke's eyes be plucked from his skull, and his flesh torn from his body! Let our Lord Father himself march as we bring triumph over the weak and greedy! Let our coffers fill with the plunder of their cities conquered! And most of all, let the Republic grow mighty! Long live the Republic! Long live freedom!" Edited by Jeff, Apr 17 2013, 10:33 PM.

June 14th, 1110 S.A. While only days after the call for nominations for the Office of Supreme Chancellor, Lorenzo Petrucci was quick to announce his candidacy in the election. "My fellow Republicans, I would like to make it known my intention to run for the esteemed Office of the Supreme Chancellor. Our Republic has stagnated in these recent years, and our enterprises have all suffered substantially as a result. I nominate myself in the hopes of restoring our glorious Republic to the forefront of trade and innovation, a destiny that's the very foundation of our Republic. I vow that should I be elected I will work tirelessly for the good of the Republic, placing it's needs above all else within my life. My family's blood has been in the Republic since it's birth, and there is nothing I care for more than our country. With respect to my fellow Patricians, I am a firm believer in mutual guidance of the Republic's affairs, and promise to actively seek the opinions and advice of the Patriciate. I firmly believe the Office of the Supreme Chancellor to be one of sacred duty, and who facilitates the desires of the Republic, through the Patricians. With your vote, I will see to it that Republican merchants have priority where they land to trade, and push to acquire new trade missions on behalf of the Patriciate. I will continue to secure our borders, and protect our merchant trade at home and abroad. I will push for better relations with our neighboring states, and secure better trade rights for our countrymen. Together we will propel the Republic forward, and become richer than we've ever been!" |

Magkahn approached his rival after the speech and pointed at him. "You seek to befriend those vile men of Rheiloghi! I challenge your nomination on an arm wrestle, old man!" |

June 26th 1110 SA Bikmir soon decided he would run for office. Dressed in his finest clothes he and a small retinue were in the Tarsia Marketplace when he made the announcement. For a Dwarf, he looked quite princely as he spoke with a voice of confidence and warmth. My fellow citizens of the Republic. As you all know, the term of our wonderful Supreme Chancellor is coming to an end. I'm sure many patricians will vie for your votes, but cast them their way you should not I say. Instead cast your votes for me! Bikmir Mikolikonos! This Republic was founded on a premise of trade! And backed by the steel of our florin lining the hilt of the blade that is our strengths! If I were to become Supreme Chancellor, Tarsia would become a Paradise in this world. I would make all possible efforts to extend trade with foreign assets which would be sure to bring our city much wealth would it not?! I will also double our Republic's Fleet! Granting my patricians an extra galley apiece! But with how richly beautiful our city will become will people envy our paradise! So, I will naturally bolster our fair nations armies and assets so as not to fear from evils such as the Terrible Duke of Rheiloghi. But more importantly than all. I would do these all these things and more, for less cost to the most important of our city. You, the people, I would decree lower taxes for all peoples ! If you are not convinced already what more need I say? I may be a dwarf, but I represent the true spirit of the Republic. The choice is not hard, vote for Mikolikonos."

June 14th, 1110 S.A. While taken aback by the orc's challenge, Lorenzo dismissed the arm wrestling contest, claiming the election was the arena to battle."I've no doubt the strength of your arm orc, but I'll wait to compete in the elections, this should be kept as gentlemanly as possible. I believe we all have the Republic's best interests at heart." |

"I am the strongest candidate in the republic!" Magkahn roared in Orcish delight, and simply went about his day. One could draw parallels with the Orc's boorish behavior on such matters as social power to his culture, for where the Orc is refined in many ways, politics was obviously not one of them. |

October 1st, 1110 S.A. While the Dwarven Embassy never partook in the elections of the Republic, it was a rare occasion for a fellow dwarf to nominate himself for election. The staff of the the Demetriou house nor Thorur himself never met with Bikmir, they still made it a point to call attention to his fellow of race. Thorur along with his diplomatic aide moved called the attention of the marketplace from the balcony of his residence before grumbling out the short, prepared speech. "Good people of this fine Republic, today I grace you not as an ambassador but as a resident of of this city. I have lived here my last few years and not once has this city seen the strength and wisdom of a Dwarven leader, something it sorely lacks. I call upon those who would decide the fate of this city to look to a candidate that could offer the same fortitude that Dwarphanos has possessed for generations. I ask you to consider Bikmir of Mikolikonos for the leadership of this great city and for a brighter future for The Republic." With his simple endorsement over, Thorur quickly turned his back on those who had stopped to listen to his words and retreated back inside the embassy. |
