The Code of Chivalry

[Ransom]

There's a lot of disagreement here in town on whether or not we should have a leader. I realize some people wish to hold elections like they might have in the past, to wait for those vying for this title to prove their worth - this is a town afraid to make a choice and rather then take a chance on someone they'd prefer to commit to an empty throne. 


Congratulations, we don't need our enemies, we've already toppled our own government.

Crowns don't make you a leader.
Neither do elections.
Dirt does.

There's this idea that taking up the mantle before a people is some glamorous affair. It isn't. It's actually pretty crappy, for all the gold it's dressed in. It takes someone willing to sacrifice their own ethics, life and blood to a people. To accept that they most often will be looked upon in no glorious light, where all their ills outshine the good they do. 

Even now Jan is criticized and met with an adamant town of agitators. For so much talk of light, I see a lot of darkness in this town. Still though, for those that disagree and oppose my chosen leader, I will not turn away your weapons and gear, anyone who still requires my work can find me by my cabin. 

I hope though we can all quickly come to an agreement of terms. This is silly.
And for me to say that is pretty bad!
