Dear sisters,

I would like to put forth a quick introduction, until we have the time to actually meet amongst ourselves and spend time together. My name is Oswin. I was once a warrior and then voted Prime Minister of the Peak. Personal matters took me away, but I never forgot this place or the sisters I stood beside.

When I was elected, I had a new idea for the Peak. A new direction we could push toward. The dreams I shared with my sisters have stayed with me and I have returned to see that plan through. I hope you will also share this idea with me as my sisters before did and agree it is right for the Peak’s future.

The Peak was established during a time when mares had no say, could claim no land and hold no stallions. The islands have become liberated, but in that liberation there are still captives held by those who wish to control. It is my belief the Peak should stand for freedom, as it always has, but our efforts should go beyond genders. We should become champions for those who need us most, for those who need a safe place or who need help in getting away from a cruel-minded leader.

It is my plan to begin traveling to the islands, speaking to the inhabitants and learning who I would like to keep an eye on. I will be actively traveling to the Commons to watch those who cruelly snatch freedom away rather than warmly welcoming their homes.

Tyranny does not belong on the islands, and I would happily give my last breath to see it eradicated.

I hope you will join me in this goal, but rest assured I don’t require or expect it of you. I understand if the Peak is your place of refuge, and this is where you would like to stay safe and away from the islands dramatics. I understand that acting for the Peak in this manner, I paint a target on us all, and some of you may dislike that about me. I know I am coming in strong, but once you get to know me, you’ll quickly come to see I don’t know how any other way to be.

I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you. Please let me know if you would like to seek me out for a conversation to get to know one another better, or leave a note if you have intel on the islands you think may benefit my ideas.

And, I know I am not your Prime Minister any more and merely a warrior again, but I will be completely transparent, I seek to lead you all once more, should you come to see me as someone worthy of leading the Peak come election time.

Yours,
Oswin

ooc: if you would like me to start a thread for oswin and your character let me know and I will do so! (Which was what her offer for one-on-one conversations was meant to be)

oswin
this is as brave as I know how to be.
I know it’s gonna hurt you, but please… be a little proud of me.
