FLAMEs in Polaris (part 3)

Donning his ermine trimmed cloak, Stark steps out into the chilled streets of Polaris.  His arms heavily laden by billets and flyers, he trudges cautiously through the slickened streets until he finds himself in the central square of the city.

Placing the documents upon an overturned crate, Stark sweeps the billowing folds of his chill-shielding cloak aside as he steps atop the ice glazed marble of a fountain and prepares to address the gathered citizenry.  His eyes flare as he twists a ruby encrusted ring upon his taloned hand and activates a crimson aura which emanates a soothing warmth about the entirety of the area, stealing the  frosty kisses of the cruel Polaris breezes.

'People of Polaris, I come to you on behalf of Lord Kossuth and his devout followers known as FLAME.  It is his divine wish that you choose to allow his followers to aid and assist you in making your long-ignored city into a paradise which rivals the other great cities of the realms in commerce, trade  and adventure.  We do not, however, wish to force  governance upon you by force, moreover we pray that  you would choose to accept our aid by voting our  faction into power in the impending elections.

We are aware of the lies which have been perpetuated by our rival, the Church of Istishia, in attempts to befoul Lord Flame's honoured name.  We merely ask that you judge such accusations in the light of the evidence and not the conjecture which they are often  clouded by the Istishians.  FLAME realizes that there  are some questions which have arisen concerning our...  relations... and we would like to come forward with  the facts in order to provide you with a clearer  picture.

Lord Kossuth has taken no part in harming the realms.  He has often been accused of many attacks upon the  City of Westbridge through the use of the looming  comet, yet this is plainly and obviously not true.   Our confused compatriots in the Chapel of Water  wrongfully assume that merely because the Rok has some  capability of fire damage that it MUST be sent by Lord  Flame, and yet they refuse to accept or see that the  Rok is an agent, or device rather, of much older and  more powerful forces than even Lord Kossuth may call  to bear."
