A week ago, the town council of Wehnimer's Landing approved a petition to be formed outside of Moot Hall, at the behest of a group of angry citizens led by an old huntsman named Colson. The petition was to remove Mayor Walkar from his office and be replaced by an interim mayor until new elections could be held.

Days later, a group of citizens who defended the mayor setup their own petition outside of Thrak's Inn which had been formed to demonstrate their support for Mayor Walkar. The petition filled up fast.

Late last evening, Mayor Walkar himself appeared outside of Moot Hall and confronted a gathered crowd. He verbally sparred with a few protestors and known outlaws, defended his positions and decisions once more, and thanked those present who were supporting him. After the mayor left, town officials arrived and removed the petition, along with the one outside of Thrak's Inn.

The town council weighed the petitions early this morning and after a few hours of record checking, Councilman Barnom Slim issued a comment, "We have gone through the signatures on each petition and found some discrepancies on both having the names of non-citizens. Even in light of that, the petition against Mayor Walkar did not receive the number of signatures required. While I am proud to have listened to the request of some of our outspoken citizens, under our rules established their motion to remove the mayor has failed. Let us hope we can move on from here."

Merely moments after hearing the news, the old huntsman Colson began shouting outside of Moot Hall and demanding justice and the removal of the mayor. "Walkar's sittin' high and mighty in his office upstairs, lookin' down on us with his smug Jantalarian face! This isn't over! Hear me when I tell you that much! This ain't over!" The huntsman was seen storming off with a group of angry townspeople.

OOC Note:

Colson said it right. This Ain't Over. Phase 1 of the Uprising is now done, however, there's two more phases to go before this storyline chapter is over. You'll notice some mood changes sometime this weekend. There will be a bit of a lull during Frontier Days because there's already so much going on those two weeks, but there should still be plenty of NPC interactions and RP going on throughout, and a few other things. After Frontier Days, the Uprising chapter will move into the final phase with a bang. See you in Wehnimer's.

Below is the names of the final signatures on both petitions after I pulled them. I know the pro-mayor petition got full, but I decided to pull them instead of putting out a second one, since the time was almost up anyway.
