“Do I Speak for you?”
-Cleome, Speaker for Misthold Keep
Local Governance
The Land belongs to the People. The People choose a Speaker (Mayor) to represent their combined interests and act on behalf of the community. In turn, the set of Mayors choose a Speaker (Count) from among their number. The position of Speaker is a duty and an obligation to the community they represent, and not an inherent right of an individual.
Local Investment
The community’s resources should be invested into the growth and prosperity of the community, not to enrich the wealthy, fund vast armies to fight in far away wars, or to support grand crusades.
Freedom of Choice
The People within our community should be free to make decisions regarding their laws, actions, and beliefs as long as those decisions and actions do not adversely effect other people within their community or other communities.
Shared Responsibility
Each person is responsible for the welfare of the Free Kingdom. Be self reliant and pro-active. Defend your rights and holdings. Aid your neighbors. Protect our freedom and do not wait for some “higher power” to solve problems that can be adequately addressed within your community.
