In front of ConColor Nightclub, and ConColor on the Plaza, an ornately carved mahogany stand bore a large ember oval the carried the following message

Ander ConColor for governor

He is a family man A multi businessman He knows how to enjoy peace And willing to defend that peace in times of conflict He is no stranger to the running of government The importants of both the environment and economics And he will use his knowledge for the betterment of RhyDin

Ander began his run for governor with the following message on the various media of RhyDin

Greeting my fellow citizen of RhyDin, my name is Ander ConColor in my lifetime I have been a student, a farmer, a warrior, a traveling merchant, a business owner and the most important a husband and father and I want to be your next governor, a governor not only for the people, but from the people. Many of you have done business with my family in one if not more than one of our establishments, you know my integrity and honesty, and I plan to bring that with me to the office of governor, no not plan I will bring that to the office of governor with me.

No city is without its problems and tribulations RhyDin is no exception but in those problems and tribulations is the opportunity for all of us to use, what makes RhyDin the wondrous place it is, our multicultural skills and talents for a common cause, and that cause is a better tomorrow not only for ourselves but for our children. And I will lead you into the battle, but will walk beside you in the victory

On the same day posters appeared throughout RhyDin showing a split image of Ander on the left side he is dressed in the suit of a business man and in his up reached hand carrying a quill and scroll, on the right he is wearing the field uniform of an AmTamir warrior on his arm a AmTamir wrist bow crystal arrows glowing and in this up reached hand holding a combat staff beneath the image can be read.

I will speak with the voice of a diplomat when possible, but I will carry the weapons of a warrior when necessary.

Kruger stepped in through the door being led by the production manager, who seated him in his chair; the sound tech came in from the booth through a doorway that had a light above it to tell the DJ when she was live. He slapped a pair of headphones on Kruger and started to rattle off instructions.

Yas was spinning around in her swivel chair and didn't see him come in. When the song stopped, and she went live, her reaction was in honest surprise, "Krugs! Dude! Can I call you Krugs" I never even asked."

"Well Yas, I suppose it is out there now, so please feel free." He gave her a smiling nod; obviously the public couldn't see that from their radios.

That was good. She forgot his name by this time anyway...."So Krugs, it's so cool to see you in the studio. I've heard some rumors, mostly cuz I've started them, that you're going to be running for Mayor, is that right?" She bounced up and down in her chair. Thankfully the listeners couldn't see that either.

"For once Yas the rumors you have been starting are true. I have joined the race for governor...should have thought about mayor when I had the chance; I hear the field is easier." He watched her bouncing and just grinned. He enjoyed the energy she brought to the airwaves, now he could see where it came from.

"Wonderful!" She yelled out and eagerly jumped up and squat down on her chair and leaned forward, practically getting in his face. "What's the one thing you would change if you were Governor?"

" I am not here to change what is, I am here to make it better. Decrease response times for our emergency services. Improve the relations between the district watch wardens, and increase the manpower of those departments. The same can be done for other interior departments. It makes no sense to repave a road only to have the water department come in a few weeks later and dig it up again." He smiled encouragingly to Yas as he spoke into the microphone.

She tilted her head to the side. Politics bored her" she moved on to the fun stuff" She asked, rocking back and forth on her chair, "So you got a theme yet, some kinda slogan?" She leaned forward, almost falling off her chair, so excited she could barely be heard, ?"campaign song?"

"Vote for Kruger, The Anvil stands firm. It is early in the race to have chosen a song Yas, I still haven't gotten over the bang-up job you did at the pillow fights." He followed her sway with his eyes, trying not to get hypnotized.

Yas's eyes went even bigger than her usual childlike stare when Kruger said "bangup" and she said, "Krugs. We're live. You can't say stuff like that?" She turned to her manager and said, "Why can he say that, but I can't say-" The manager glared and pointed at her. She sat down normally in her chair and turned back to Kruger, "So' what you're saying is you need a campaign song. I can contribute that. Can I write that off on my taxes?"

"We would welcome your help down at campaign headquarters Yas. As for tax write offs, I'm afraid taxes are something we all must pay Yas. I haven't called my campaign a charity, so tax write offs probably won't be the order of the day." He repositioned the headphones to a more comfortable position.

Yas spun around in her chair, over her control panel of flashing lights and switches. She said, "Oh, I'll be there. Count on that. I'm going to be bringing you the best song" just gotta keep searching til I find one" I forget what that button does, so I better not push that one right now since I've got a guest that people will miss, but let's see?"

"C'mon out and vote folks, if you don't exercise your rights who will?" Kruger looked to the little man in the booth; he was counting down on his fingers.

"How about this to start us out?" Across the airwaves came".Second Chance, by Shinedown.

The man came out of the booth once again and unplugged Kruger's head set. He muttered something about not being paid enough. Kruger ignored him and smiled to Yas. "Thank you for the interview, I hope we can count on your support.?

Cuyler really had no idea how she was constantly roped into doing footwork for the little thing, but the morning would find posters pinned up everywhere. Even a few farm animals would discover the rather plain sheets of paper fixed to their pelts with bubblegum. The message didn't make much sense to Cuyler but very little did in the grand scheme of things. Before she packed it up for the evening, she liberated a flier from the stack and read it aloud.

Dear Rhy'Din,

I'm Audrey Horne. I'm going to be your governor. And this is how I see it.

With Love.

To Gustavus G'nort Esplenade G'neesmacher Dragoon-Talanador the Third:

As to what I can offer you as my slogan said the words of a diplomat, to settle disputed either they be political economical or financial and when needed the arms of a warrior to lead into combat from the front lines.

As to what can I offer those who compete in the varicose arenas I can offer my greatest adderation to those who use the arena to hone whatever their skills may be and also set an example for the youth of RhyDin to push their limits and improve themselves on an ongoing basis.,

If elected governor if they want it I will offer the title holders in each arena the opportunity to became instructors in a one of several schools I plan on opening.

Ander Concolor

To: The Honorable Gustavus G"nort Esplenade G"nessmacher Dragoon-Talandor the Third; From: Aristotle Kruger Allen, Duelist, shop owner, and candidate for Governor.

My Dear Gustavus G"nort Esplenade G"nessmacher Dragoon-Talandor the Third;

You have asked what can be offered to your businesses. I have been putting a vast amount of effort into holding a carnival in July dedicated to helping Rhydinian businesses and promoting the small business relief fund. This effort was begun before my bid for office was considered; I see more endeavors in the future. You have also queried what I have to offer the dueling venues. I too have left my blood and sweat on the floor of the ring. I have woken with the pain of the previous night's fight. The duels are Rhydiin's Olympics, a tradition fought by men and women of honor. I would love to be able to refer to the Duel Callers as my advisors for the duels, because I know that together, we can show all of Rhydin the sense of honor that we feel towards the duels.

Just as one person cannot make a duel alone, enhancing the duels, as well as all of Rhydin, will take more than one person, so I hope to have your support.

Yours, Kruger "The Anvil" Allen

P.S. It should be noted G, that I have given Matt a sound mauling, and I intend to get you too G?nort.
