The Future Of Our Nation

Accepting applications for a new occupant of the throne? That's how it is to be decided who is going to run Seahaven? People can just apply? What an odd way to pick a leader. This country is not some tavern looking for a barkeep. I shudder to think who'll take over.

A nobleman I've gotten to know in the past few weeks would make an excellent king, I think. Of course, he doesn't think he's powerful enough to make a bid, and he's also smart enough to know ruling a nation probably wouldn't be the most enjoyable way of spending the rest of his days.

Of course I could be wrong about him. I've heard some rather disconcerting things about a couple of the nobles in this city, actually. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. Is there anyone in whom this nation can believe? I'm starting to wonder about everyone inside these walls. Who's worthy of my trust?
