People of Sapience,

In accordance with the will of the Gnomish populace, I am pleased to announce the formation of the Gorshire Mining Syndicate.

After many long years of competition and sabotage among the ranks of our esteemed miners, the Syndicate aims to unite all Gnomish excavators under a single banner of cooperation and bounty for all.

I wish I could be making this post under brighter circumstances, but I am afraid that Malram did not return from the mirror following a heinous, unprovoked, unjustified, and completely unnecessary act of cold-blooded murder by a Duiran councillor.

Thus, before we can commence our operation, now only four of our best and brightest will be vying for the coveted position of foreman in a snap election running for two weeks.

In order to ensure fair representation and good behaviour, I am inviting willing adventurers to assist with the campaign. Enemies of Gorshire need not apply.

Pay the candidates a visit at Founding Square in Gorshire, where you can ask them your questions, and ENDORSE your preferred candidate.

Gorbert Esq.
Mayor of Gorshire

Penned by my hand on Kinsday, the 8th of Niuran, in the year 497 MA.
