He became Count of Old Batu Province and was looking for more. With the news of the Vice Valar election he announced that he was running.

### **Earnside**

The Red Keep slowly became a town as citizens of The Vulperium wanted to live closer to a safe and fortified castle. A new name was decided, Earnside.

**Religious Beliefs**

Erem grew up skeptical of all things religion. Not denying the existence of the many gods of the world, just hadn't had explored the realm of religion. That changed though. When the High Priest of the Cube came to Earnside and offered to show him proof of his god. Erems curiosity compelled him to follow the high priest to Nova Azcoria and was shown The []. With valid proof Erem listened to the teachings of The High Priest. Dedicated he begain as a follower of the []. Erem always prayed to Grijum, the god of balance. It is said he brought balance among nature and man. That really resonated with Erem and worked his way to becoming High Priest of Grijum. Becoming his voice on this world.

**Vice Valar Election**

Erems platform was heavily based on the idea of "citizen retention" The Vulperium was already doing an amazing job at recruiting new citizens, however, like most nations most people who join dont become active again. The thought is this will have a trickle down effect on all other aspects of citizenship in The Vulperium, More active and engaged citizens means more needs for shops to sell and buy, A larger military, and much more.

**One of his speeches addressing the citizens of The Vulperium**

*Town owners, I feel your frustration. Trying to grow a town is hard. Inviting someone, setting them up, answering all their questions. Creating a welcoming and active community, if you own a town you probably know how much it sucks to have a new player never login again. A vote for me is a vote to progress towards making your towns active.*

*My goal is to give new players a reason to log in again. I want to hear your voices. As Vice of The Vulperium I will work tirelessly with town owner and The Valars to create a think tank that produces effective measures to welcome new players, and keep them around.*

*Business owners. I hear your call for a better economy. I’m promising more than just buzzwords like “increase the economy” I am promising more active players who will need your products. My singular goal of player retention assists everyone.*

*To the military personal, thank you for your service, I hear your calls for a larger, more organized military. You shouldn’t feel ignored by your government. I'm promising more players to fill our national guard ranks, I am promising more support from your government, I am promising more organization. With weekly training events on a dedicated server.*

*To the lore writers rp’ers and skin makers, I believe you are the back bone of what makes our nation the greatest. Your hard work is not unnoticed. I want to work hard on your behalf to share your amazing art and written pieces throughout the world. With rp events, book stores, and more to come.*

*To the Erosians, I hear you and understand when you say you want to feel more important, listened to, and included. I am promising to work as hard for any citizen of The Vulperium, and to listen to your voices because they are equally as important.*

*My friends, citizens of the Vulperium. I believe this new era is the time for change and growth. I will work hard along side the Valars to increase our foreign relations without being pulled into wars we want nothing to do with*
