Chaos in Ordenstaat and the New Realm of Silverfall	August 12, 2009
The chaos created in Ordenstaat was as far as I can tell due to a quiet leadership. Something I had tried to fix on a few occassions, obviously without success. I am of course, King Zanaras of the recently christened Silverfall. Being a priest of the Order of Saint Iestyn, I was allowed certain privileges within the ruling body of Ordenstaat, the Brotherhood, that regular nobles nor memebers the Brotherhood itself were typically allowed. Namely, I could speak against the government's actions with far less chance of reprimand. As you can see, I wasn't able to effect enough change for it to be worthwhile. Now, the rebellion we are currently seeing is due to, from what I could tell, the Brotherhood having little or no communication with the general public, as well as the Regent Pro Tempore Eddard having been rather quiet overall as of late. I was tired of putting up with Ordenstaat's inability to support my city, as well as the unchanging private circle that ruled Ordenstaat. So I decided to officially break off and forge my own realm, one where I could create what I thought to be the ideal government. Yes, officially, it is a Monarchy, but I am including several Republican elements as time goes by. One of them being a Chamber of Representatives who will be elected seasonally (subject to change as the realm is fleshed out) as well an official listing of claims much like Madina currently employs. Atleast one, if not two of the council positions will also be elected. It is like it says in my realm's public summary: Silverfall, the second of the two southwestern beacons of Dwilight. Life here is not easy, in fact it is very much the opposite. Silverfall strives to be the realm that Ordenstaat would not be. A realm open to it's nobles, where there are clearly set channels of communication so that even the most new of nobles can present his concerns to the Ruler. Quiet nobles will be ignored, and disloyal ones cut as soon as proof is found. There is only opportunity here if you prove you deserve it.
