Let it be printed plainly: the House of Radiance now lists its shares to the whole Arvend, and any republic with the taste to recognize quality may buy in. I did not build the largest luxury house in Solmara by waiting for permission, and I will not run this republic that way either. To Odile Verre and every burgher who has written me this week - yes, I will make room for civic commissions worthy of this city under my administration. To my rivals counting grain sacks and ledger lines: numbers do not shine, they only add up. Vote Ferrant. Solmara deserves a president who makes the continent look.
