Atamara / Caergoth - Traitor or King
« on: September 14, 2011, 07:56:05 PM »
For those of you not in Caergoth you are missing a fascinating tipping point in its cultural development. Currently a nobleman, Merrodak von Igelfeld is on trial for treason and simultaneously running for King.
Quote
Warriors of Caergoth,
I stand before you now as either your traitor or your King, and I ask nothing more than for you to decide which I am. You know my stance politically, you know my words, and you know my goals. Am I traitorous or am I the future for this realm? Do I seek its destruction or its restoration?
High Justice you ask how I plead, I must ask what loyalty have I betrayed? When I arrived in Lanston, I pledged my loyalty to this realm, to Caergoth, to its virtues, and to my second cousin Viscountess Moria Von Igelfeld who lost her position fighting against the rebels who stormed the capital while our armies were off at war. If you claim that I have forsaken the oath I made that day, I most certainly plead not guilty. All that I have done, every action I have taken, every letter I have written, everything is towards the goal of living up to my words, to my oath. My soul aim is to be loyal to Caergoth, the Caergoth of virtue. The Caergoth of strength.
Therefore High Justice, I shall hold my head high closing this letter as our predecessors and patriots have before me,
For Caergoth!
