Election Standings
By: Duncan Seastove Date: January 23, 2018, 6:18 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Since the last debate, three candidates, Mayor Goodsong, Queen
Chryserys, and most recently Lord Fullerstar, have dropped out
of the race. This leaves five candidates remaining, and as the
field has shrunk, the race has tightened.
Lady Katja Endergaard 25%
Though Prince Asmundr's involvement in the Impostor Trial may
have lessened the effectiveness of his endorsement, Lady
Endergaard more then made up for this with a strong showing
during the debate. Her assertion that a strong military was
needed to clear out internal threats such as the gnolls received
broad support from commoners and nobles alike. Additionally,
though his support base was small, the support of Lord
Fullerstar has given Lady Endergaard the boost she needed to
nose out the competition for the time being.
Lord Arthur Pendragon 24%
He may not have had the strongest start, but convincing Queen
Chryserys to endorse his campaign was a major victory for Lord
Pendragon. Additionally, with Mayor Goodsong, another populist
candidate, out of the race, Lord Pendragon was able to pick up
many of the former candidate's supporters. Besides this, his
plan to clear out the Lostwood gained the interest of nobles and
merchants alike, as these groups saw opportunities for
profitable land gains.
Thane Tymund Hammerhand 22%
Thane Hammerhand has been another come-from-behind story,
gaining a full thirteen percentage points over the past several
weeks. Strong showings in the debates are primarily responsible,
as is the acquisition of former Goodsong supporters. Thane
Hammerhand correctly predicted that an internal crisis such as
the kidnapping of Lord Fullerstar by gnolls would make fearful
citizens more interested in his plan to close the borders of
Grand Halen and deal purely with internal matters.
Lady Henrietta Rathbone 15%
While not making any remarkable gains, Lady Rathbone has been
able to slightly pad her position with a good showing at the
most recent debate. Her great knowledge of the most feared
enemies of Grand Halen, gnolls and undead, gave voters
confidence that, were she to be elected, she would have a good
understanding of those threats which are foremost in the minds
of many.
Mayor Ruby Valentine 14%
Though she had the homefield advantage in the most recent
debate, Mayor Valentine was too rattled following the Impostor
Trial to be an effective participant. This, combined with Prince
Asmundr's assertion that the cause of the contradictions during
the trial may have been because of mental instability on the
Mayor's part, has resulted in a significant dent in her numbers.

Following the debate, Clunk continues to gain support and
following for the Fallen Star Company. Traveling around GH
Clunk goes around and instructs the citizens about the FSC and
its novice adventureing program.
"It is not easy, it will not be safe. But if you enroll you and
your family will be supported by the Fallen Star Company for its
duration"
While traveling around GH Clunk attempts to assess how much
Iron(armor/weapon making material) there is in the country at
the moment and how much would be needed to outfit a standing
army like Endergaard wants? And if feasible Clunk wishes to buy
up to 80% of the material.
Once he reaches every place of populous, Clunk returns to Dragon
Roost to help the new adventurers settle in and what specialty
they will have for the party. He organizes each into even
groups of 15 or so members with a Leading member being a full
Fallen Star Member. (Delphinius and crew) Lyrina Kinlocke
teaching Wizards and sorcerers, Delphinius instructing on
political aspects, His crew teaching fighters, paladin,
clerics, and rangers. Gremmy teaching druids. Clunk Teaching
barbarians and fighters.

Asmundr honors his agreement to go on the auctioned date. He
takes her out clubbing at his favorite disco joints. He spends
150gp on the night. After this, Asmundr begins investing in iron
deposits, expecting an Endergaard victory. He buys up any mines
that are available, spending up to 2,500gp.
Having resolved the Dreadknight Shepard mystery, he meets
with Aisha Shepard to tell his story,offer his condolences, and
provide funderal rites (using the ceremony spell). He offers
Aisha a spot on the FSC roster, to train a new branch of
investment: an army. Pulling from the orphanages, Asmundr offers
a home to those who show potential. Thus sparks the Starlit
Legion, under supreme command of Clunk, and trained by
Lieutenant Aisha Shepard. The Legion will be the shaft which
follows the spearhead of the Fallen Star Company. To meet their
needs, he constructs a Smithy (2,500gp), Armory (2,500gp), and
Siege Workshop (2,500gp).
Asmundr is sure to stay in Endergaard's court, and attempts
to assert the importance of the local and private armies around
Grand Halen, and outlines the role for adventuring companies in
national service.
The Fallen Star Company will be ready for war, and war means
profit.

Clunks information seems well received. Many of the poor around
Grand Halen are eager for an opportunity to lift themselves up,
despite the risks associated with adventuring. You get many
requests for membership from every region.
When you return to Dragonroost, Daniel offers to train the
apprentices who seem suited to lives as rangers or rogues.
"Shoot, old buddy, I might not be the sharpest spine on the
cactus, but I know animals, and I got fast hands, and I'd be
happy to help these kids become part of the gang!" Daniel spins
his crossbows as he speaks.
Asmundr takes Virginia Hudson on a fabulous date, although he
notices that both Virginia and her father, Jordy, seemed
hesitant to allow the date to happen, given the rumors about a
sexually ravenous Asmundr impostor on the loose. He was
eventually able to convince Virginia and her father that he was
the genuine article, although he believes that this may be a
continuous problem until he puts this situation to rest.
Asmundr manages to secure one of the most productive mines in
Grand Halen, Cindersplinter Mine near Tolbrun, for 2000 gp.
Asmundr estimates that between this mine and the one near
Dragonsroost, the Fallen Star Company now controls 10% of Iron
Production in Grand Halen.
Aisha is glad to hear that her father's plot was thwarted, but
tells Asmundr to save his ceremony. She informs him that,
through her research, she has discovered that a death knight
will return time after time even after being destroyed, and that
the only way to truly free them is for them to be redeemed. As
her father has been dealt with for the time being, Aisha agrees
to Asmundr's offer, knowing that the Starlit Legion may be
important for when Shepard returns.
The Tournament at Wotan's Throne is a huge success, and there
are no signs of gnoll activity for the duration of the event.
Many knights and warriors from the Sea of Fallen stars region
arrive to demonstrate their prowess. Delphinius and Sir Lawrenz
participate in disguise, and put on an impressive display.
In the final Melee, many of the most notable warriors
participate, including Thane Hammerhand, Lady Endergaard, and
Lord Pendragon. It was an intense battle, with Aisha Shepard
bringing down SM the Orc, and Lord Commander Anders being
knocked out by Thane Hammerhand's famed uppercut. By the end of
the melee, only Katja and Arthur remained standing. Though Lady
Endergaard easily dealt with the less skilled Pendragon, but
after he had been thrown to his back, he asked for the Lady's
hand in marriage. To everyone's great surprise, she accepted.
Concurrent to this surprise engagement and joining of two
campaigns, the Brightchest clan pledges their financial support
to Lady Endergaard and her newly betrothed. With this, it
becomes clear to most everyone that their victory is assured.
Lady Rathbone brokers an agreement with Lady Endergaard to
pledge her own support in exchange for a promise to construct an
Arcane Academy. Before the third debate begins, Mayor Valentine
withdraws from the race, leaving only Lady Endergaard and Thane
Hammerhand.
As expected, Endergaard and Pendragon win a landslide victory,
although till the end, Thane Hammerhand refuses to concede
defeat. Surprisingly, Queen Endergaard decides to keep the
capitol in Bardertown, seeing a permanent capitol as key to a
strong nation. Her younger brother, Janne, becomes Lord of
Wotan's Throne, and her younger sister, Andraste, becomes Lady
of Dragon Falls.
Thane Hammerhand refuses to admit that he has been beaten,
instead making a speech in Tolbrun blaming collusion,
corruption, and racism for his being denied the crown.
