Shireroth

I, Harald Thorstein, Count of Araxion do hereby nominate Ardashir, Count of Lesser Zjandaria for the office and position of Steward of Elwynn.

Noble Counts of Elwynn:His Grace, the Duke of Elwynn, has left us instructions to meet and decide upon a temporary Steward to take his place during his absence. The Decree left was somewhat vague as to the details of this meeting, so I will do my best to ensure that we follow what he had intended.Quote:As such I hope that the Counts of Elwynn, in a meeting headed by the Chief Justice, will be able to elect one person for the stewardship of Elwynn.So we are to have a vote. I would like to hear nominations from the Counts on who they would like to have serve in this important position. I will close nominations in 24 hours, at which time we will hold a vote for 24 hours.Quote:Elect the leader you think will be able to rule Elwynn best. For what itÂ’s worth, I may be gone for a while. I donÂ’t know how long. If IÂ’m not back by a month, then consider me resigned. Then elect a new leader. Should this happen, merge Eliria and Utasia with some county.It seems highly likely that our Duke will be gone for an extended period. Please keep this in mind when accepting nominations; the Steward may be called upon to rule for a long time.Should there be any further questions on procedure, etc - please feel free to holler at me. In the meantime, Nominations for Steward are now open to the Counts of Elwynn for a period of 24 hours starting now. Thank you. WEBSITE

My thanks to my good friend the Count of Araxion. Harald I am pleased to hear of your confidence in me. Finally, I, Ardashir, Count of Lesser Zjandaria do accept this nomination for the office and position of Steward of Elwynn.LONG LIVE ELWYNN!

I'll take this moment to point out the eligibility requirements. Any candidate for Steward must have two or fewer citizenships. Viatax Sitadi Axdivijink Regigoraauk

Shireroth and Babkha (GC). Thank you.

Just checking. Viatax Sitadi Axdivijink Regigoraauk

Thank you for clarifying that. WEBSITE

Though I do not want to seem over confident in my own abilities, or to discredit my opponents, yet I believe in Andelarion's absence that a true Shirerothian be put in place, one not... 'tainted' by the ways of a foreign citizenship.I believe the only Elwynesse (besides our grand Chief Justice) who holds only Shirerithian citizenships is myself, though I daresay if I was appointed Steward I would lean heavily on Master Davis and follow strictly to Ric's laws. In short, Ardashir has a long enough signature as it is, and I'm the only one with just Shireroth.

Quote:I believe in Andelarion's absence that a true Shirerothian be put in place, one not... 'tainted' by the ways of a foreign citizenship.Playing the 'race' card in a multinational barony? Smooth move.

I endorse the nomination of Ardashir, Count of Lesser Zjandaria for the office and position of Steward of Elwynn.

Thank you for the nomination, Count Halluci. I would also kindly ask everyone to keep personal attacks out of these proceedings. I am not placing any blame, simply making a request. Once this process is said and done, we'll all have to get along. WEBSITE

Actually Osman, I was merely saying that one with more than one citizenship is never truly unbias. And, again, your title is already 5 lines long, isn't that enough?

Ardashir's Titulary is not a consideration for me, his skills and experience as a ruler are.

Nobles of Elywnn:We have 2 nominations for the position of Steward:Ardashir, Count of Lesser ZjandariaOzarka Mons, Count of HalluciI certify both candidates to be eligible, and hereby close the Nominations Process. Voting will commence immediately and end within 24 hours (+/- an hour). I ask that each Noble vote for the person they feel is best suited to the position. A simple majority will decide Elwynn's Steward. Good luck to both nominees. WEBSITE

I vote for Ardashir, Count of Lesser Zjandaria.

I vote for Ardashir, Count of Lesser Zjandaria, and holder of many other titles.

Curiously enough, I vote for Ardashir, Count of Lesser Zjandaria.

Very well, I will not go against the people's will, and since it obviously seems to be to appoint Ardashir, I shall not fight it. Though, you cannot say I did not give full warning that we may soon be a Babkhan puppet to some extent.I cast my vote for Count Ardashir of Lesser Zjandria

Regardless of the outcome of this election, the state shall remain a Shirithian puppet, not a Babkhan one.

In light of the fact that the Count of Halluci has conceded; and that four out of five Counts have voted for the same person, I feel confident in closing the vote now.I declare that Count Ardashir of Lesser Zjandria has been accepted by his peers as the Steward of Elwynn. I ask that Count Ardashir see to his duties immediately.I would now call upon the other Nobles of Elwynn to cast aside any differences they may have, and work together to ensure that Elwynn remains a beacon of prosperity. For those who may be wondering, my loyalties lie with our Duke, and with Elwynn as a whole. The new Steward is invited to take advantage of my services, as I vow to make myself available to him.So here's to our new Steward! May his service to Elwynn be marked with wisdom and sincereity. (I just HAD to use that emoticon lol) WEBSITE

I would like to thank everyone for this signal confidence that you have shown in me. I shall do my utmost to live up to your expectations.

Congratulations to the winner. Shirerothian PatriotPrince of Byzantia
