A Decade After Democracy
Opinion-Editorial by Avery Albero
Ten years ago, the Vale's ruling monarchy was allegedly superseded by a democratic government. Ten years ago, the people rejoiced, believing their cries would finally be heard by a gracious government who would protect them. Ten years ago, I naively believed that things would get better.[break][break]
So why then, has nothing changed? Why, then, am I writing this plea to a city so far from my own, while my people wade in waist-deep waters, and the monarchy sits comfortable in their gilded towers, protected by that farce of a coven that calls itself a Cavalry?[break][break]
Perhaps I should not be surprised. At least they have the grace to stay true to their name — knights in shining armour for the kings who pad their pockets. They scurry around the city like overfed hunting hounds, grown lazy in the lap of luxury. The slums are drowning. Crime runs rampant. Over the past few years, I have seen more and more unfamiliar faces skulking about the city, swarming like vultures over a carcass. Even outsiders, it seems, are not unfamiliar with how embarrassingly incompetent the government is. [break][break]
And yet, the Cavalry's priority? To hunt down a single writer who dares to call them exactly what they are.[break][break]
Do not be fooled. So I ask of you, at the very least, to see this with open eyes: the Vale is rotting. It will not get better. Ten years ago, I made the mistake of trusting that it would. Now, I do not make the same mistake.[break][break]
Send me the tools to do so, and I will excise this illness at its root.[break][break]
The New Dawn Turns its Attention to Roads
by Staff Contributor
The New Dawn may be on a new road —literally— to expansion. The Tartarus-based philanthropic group is slowly expanding its charitable efforts to outside the city's slums. A recent contract with Delphi City has volunteers from the organization helping to fix one problem we all can agree to hate: potholes.[break][break]
"Delphi's roads suck, and I figured, why not try something for the city?" says Cerberus Acolyte Leo Varley, who has recently been involved with the organization's volunteer efforts.
I figured, why not try something for the city?
While primarily known for galvanizing the human population in the April riots, the group has grown a more secular following of energetic young volunteers (page 2)
