Hey folks,
A few notes on the polling process. Here in the East, the polling job is split between two people, Duchess Katherine Stanhope and me.

Greetings, The Shire of Quintavia has discovered gold and more in our hills, and, while the Barony of Smoking Rocks has graciously “guarded” our mining operations for the last year, Quintavia has many neighbors who may wish to “liberate” us from this arrangement.
