Legate Appointments

[Random_White_Guy]

After two maddening weeks of wheel, deal, and spiel came forth no shortage of scandal.  Petitioner Aubrey's withdrawal replaced by Petitioner Lynneth of the White League, Petitioner Sergeant Colmes allegedly tricking Isabella Fitzgerald to withdraw but not himself withdrawing,  Magistrate Argus swiftly bowing out to accept political appointment from Sol Auk. And upon the selection of Candidates grew matters further as Candidate Saphidra withdrew over tandem rumors of Illness but also of Political Threat and Influence from the wealthy island nation of Banafsi, and the dramatic rise of Candidate Cyrille Monteglas.

Ultimately though after 18 long, to some too long, did the Election come to a close.

Sultan's Herald
Let it be known that Sol Auk of the League of Gold has won the elections for the seat of Legate! They are to report to the Chamber of Rule to be officially sworn in.

Scribe of the Sublime Gardens
The official tally is as follows: Sol Auk with the League of Gold with 28. Lynneth of the League of White with 23. Cyrille Monteglas with the League of Purple with 2.

In the wake of the victory of the Gold League, speech is given by Sol Auk in the Palatial Pyramid...

[hide=Acceptance Speech]Sol Auk: [It nods to its side before stepping forward]
Sol Auk: Stonefolk Provisional Parable.
Sol Auk: The groknak herder, is. The Praise-Singer, is. The Bricklayer, is. The carver, the watcher, the builder. The best one - is.
Sol Auk: Sol Auk does not take up this labor lightly, nor the trust and expectations placed.
Sol Auk: To the White League. Your compassion remains heard, and your efforts towards the Voiceless, the Refugee, and more will be tended by the Voiced of your League as they come to Assembly.
Sol Auk: To Candidate Lynneth. You have won the hearts of many, so very many, for both Warad and the Balladeers.
Sol Auk: To the Purple League. Your aspirations, to spread, to grow. Baz'eelan culture, the arts, the tending of Ephia's Well. From Palm Heights all culture grows, and Sol Auk has ever enjoyed being your neighbor. Your Voiced shall carry forth much at assembly.
Sol Auk: To Candidate Cyrille. You came forth at a time not your choosing, nor expected, and yet managed to secure the entertainment and imagination of many. Without question the winner of the Great Debate, such entertainment wrought.
Sol Auk: To Candidate Sephidra. May your health endure as you recover.
Sol Auk: To the Astronomers of Q'tolip.
Sol Auk: From the Great Tablet taking in your Master so many years past at time of trouble. So too have you taken to Sol Auk. May in some way this be considered a Labor well recognized, a degree of debt repaid.
Sol Auk: And to you, League of Gold.
Sol Auk: [It slowly scans along those with badges, dipping its head] Sol Auk said to you, as so many before. Up the Gold.
Sol Auk: And so you did. True to both tenant and merits of our League. Where other Leagues lost, suffered, woed. We were not swayed, dejected, or lent to misery.
Sol Auk: In our own woes, loses, and more for those who could not be with us here.
Sol Auk: No. Not we. When called to Up the Gold. The call was answered.
Sol Auk: 45,000 dinar donated to the coffers of Ephia's Well in the last three days.
Sol Auk: Such an investment, the likes of which the Signatory Accord so often craves given freely that your Voice may be heard.
Sol Auk: And know you too shall be heard, as Chairman Argus takes to organizing efforts forward on behalf of the League.
Sol Auk: To the Voiced who did not vote for Sol Auk, know yet still as promised your Voice will be heard.
Sol Auk: Just as the Alchemists Guild, so too may your organizations prosper and flourish.
Sol Auk: Be you Competition... Or friend. Be you Voiced, or Voiceless.
Sol Auk: Now. Now Labor begins.
Sol Auk: Gratitude to you one and all for your efforts.
Sol Auk: Live and Drink.
Sol Auk: The Chief Scribe has asked to speak to Sol Auk. Celebrate well, Gold League. Organize well, White League, and Strive, Purple League.[/hide]

While far from the incendiary rhetoric of the last few weeks, sounding far more boring of prose than campaign poetry,
Some of the audience gawped to learn the Gold League's election strategy. 
After learning the vote was close from "Voting Assistant Lojir" they dramatically shifted tactics.
They simply bought Nine voiced gold in the last three days, a sum of 45,000 dinar.
Notably such a push nearly the entirety of the gap between Candidate Sol Auk and Candidate Lynneth.
And seemed to earn Sol Auk a seat as a Legate despite accusation and scandal.

Immediately after came a barrage of requests, meetings, and more.
For nearly 2 hours an entire parade of Gold League, Nadiri, Banda Rossa,
and others are seen milling about the various floors of the Palatial Pyramid.
The parade of meetings would bleed on for hours into the night.
