the king is dead

by Millimax

 ir'wynarn wrugar is now king of breland and that scares aejar
 wrugar declared aejar "prince of sharn" and that also scares him
 he feels there's no time to grieve for his father because the city's administration needs urgent attention
 today 7 districts held proper elections so aejar's empowering those councilmembers to keep sharn glued together while he works to fix the rest
 that's a big job because the other 10 districts are a mess of bribery and extortion and such
 
 then again the proper elections in the cogs faced no small amount of interference
 we were up before dawn to open the polling station on time ... which involved chasing off the college of balance soldiers who'd been ordered to keep it shut!
 once opened the voting went smoothly
 until a much larger group of soldiers tried to scare the crowd away
 it seems nobody explained to them that the crowd were mostly war veterans capable of working together to rebuff such nonsense
 
 i was inside helping folks with their ballots and a modified "silence" spell kept the noise down
 but the soldiers switched tactics from "shout a lot" to "launch a giant boulder directly at the station" which put several lives in danger – including mine! – so i had to step outside briefly to reflect it back at the equipment they used to launch it
 even after that they kept fighting
 we had to shut down the lifts for over an hour to keep even more from swarming in
 
 the trouble ended when aejar arrived with nine and a few of the king's shields
 he inspected the polling station and declared it the most functional one he'd seen yet
 then he directed the lifts to resume and when the doors opened to a bunch of soldiers he ordered them to stop
 right then and there he officially disbanded the college of balance and made them lay down their weapons and go away!
 he wants the city to heal and getting rid of those bullies is a great start
 
 by nightfall everyone got to vote
 i'm glad i helped!
 also i learned something about the "khyber's gate" district
 it's mostly populated by "gol" – the dakhaani word for goblins and bugbears and hobgoblins – and they call the place "kuuvet'taash"
 i'm inclined to start referring to it that way also
 most humans here don't really seem to respect the gol but i certainly will
 we all deserve to speak for ourselves and they've gone unheard for too long
