***The following announcement has been placed in all local Inns, in many shops, published in this week's local newsprint's, handed out in the form of a small flyer by Crier Goodman, and in the form of a large sign outside the SI:7 building in the Old Town district***

The Stormwind Council is a political body made up of a number of Guilds.

It is a group of councillors each representing an order that is based within, or has ties with, Stormwind and it's surrounding kingdom.

The goal of the Stormwind Council is to aid the people of Stormwind in these dire times. Most of our soldiers are abroad defending the lands. Our King is willing, yet young and inexperienced.

We, the people of Stormwind, need to stand together and stand strong against the dangers within and outside our glorious City's walls.

To be able to aid the people, we look to the strengths of every member of our Council and their guilds. We also heavily rely on the people of Stormwind to work with us in keeping our City a safe, tidy, fun place to live and work, keeping at the peak of it's potential.

The Council is also made up of different Ministerial positions, held by councillors, also making it easier for the public to report any matters to the appropriate person depending on their position.

The official current postions and the people who cover these positions are as follows:

The Stormwind Council

Chairperson: Cerise Wagner

Lord Maelmoor Lightbringer (Holy Lightbringers) - Minister of Defense

Sir Aarian Northlight (Disciples of Light) - Minister of Justice

Miss Lilath Taylen - Minister of Trade

Lady Jane Lightbringer

Kresthor Griff (Council of Mages) - Minister of Leisure


The goal of these Ministers is to aid the people of Stormwind as best they can. They are here to serve the King and the people if the people allow it, they are not here to rule them.

Please feel free to pop by our Offices at the Command Center in Stormwind City any time (( forums - http://www.maelcards.com/stormwind )) and speak with a Councillor or inform us of anything you wish.

All of our Councillors are available to reach by use of mail, so do not hesitate to write to any of us.

The Law


***The following list has been published throughout Stormwind, with a copy open for viewing by the public at the Stormwind Library.***


A list of the laws currently in place, as passed by a majority vote on the Stormwind Council.

3. Torturing of prisoners, held by law or not.

4. Kidnapping of a citizen within the King's land.

5. Forcing oneself on another. (("!@!#" or "Sexual Harrassment" is AGAINST THE LAW SET FORTH BY BLIZZARD. This is purely on an RP basis, by which both parties ooc'ly agree to roleplaying this to happen. If then the "offended" wishes to RP a complaint, this is fine. THIS IS NOT CONDONING ANY VIOLATION OF TERMS SET BY BLIZZARD. A real complaint of harrasment must be sent to a GM and not the Council))

6. Unlawful holding or arrest of a citizen within city walls. An arrest warrant must be granted before the arrest or within 3 days of the arrest. (Arrest warrants can only come from a council-named Judge.)

16. The employment of or working as a prostitute within the King's land.

17. Breaking a Court order or banishment.

((OOC - Your willingness to roleplay by these laws is of course your choice, and we will always make OOC contact with you before making any arrests, as we understand there are many different roleplay styles, and not everybody will want to roleplay it.
We ask that everyone who does wish to roleplay with the Council, and recognises us in-character as a political body within Stormwind with this kind of power, plays along with these laws, it will hopefully make the basis for a lot of great, fun roleplay!))

Pigs..

*Throws the flyer on the ground, spiting on it*

(( Stormwind Council is an excellent RP organisation, that anyone (yes, anyone, whether evil or good, pro-council or anti-council, human or elf) can get involved with in some way or another. Bumping for justice ))

(( /agrees with Tiberio ))

(( Mhm.. *eyes the laws* i haven't breaked any of them.. lately :< but Galandria deserves to be executed for torturing me in open street >_> ))

And how , may I ask, are the civilians represented? All I see are factions of military or religious organizations, what about the commoners? Just the other day I was told the voice of civilians doesn't matter by one of the nobles in Stormwind. That same person decided to attack someone he deemed guilty without any warrant the day before. How come the nobles in this city can do such things without being punished? I'll tell you why, because the council doesn't care about the voice of the little people, the civilians, the commoners...

OOC: the forum is wrong by the way. It says I'm part of the Shining Strand but I left that guild a few days ago, and since then I formed a guild called "Civilian" which is not an organized guild with rules and such, more like a roleplaying statement against the city of Stormwind

I have proposed to the council that I can try my best to help provide them with oppinions of commoners and civilians. I also offered my knowledge and insight to them in case they wish a civilian's input into the matter. I made it very clear that I did not want a place at the council as that would ultimately separate me from my primary goal which is to be one of the civilians, one of the commoners, and provide a voice for us all. I am glad to inform that the council accepted my proposal and I will be allowed to present information and participate in certain discussions. I am not part of the council and I am not allowed a vote, I am a civilian of Stormwind, at the commoners level. If you ever wish to have your voice heard, you can come and speak to me and I will gather the information I get and present this to the council in a structured way. The decision from the council to listen to the voices of civilians makes me very glad. It surely is a step in the right direction.

You lot are still about?

Oh, look. Deja vu.

;)

Ah well, I'd better join the Sphere then.

...

They're still going, right?
