On Halloween 2001, the popular vote of Monster Ridge visitors for the
election of the new king was cast in favor oy the cute little vampire Count
Dready of Transylvania fame. He received 42% of the votes. The election was
contested by Aldor Van Archaunt, the nephew of the old king Archhaunt, who
scored second with 33% of the votes. Aldor claims to be the only legitimate
descendant. Of the great old king. The honorable Zamin Beauregard de Sasson
basically accepted the results but claimed his right to excerce a regency
until Dready’s coming of age. He supports his claim with his third best
result of 17% of the votes and his very distant relation to Dready. The
question was put before the Monster Ridge High Council of Spirits, who
should have decided this minor issue within days of the election.
After 360 days of deliberations with countless
interventions on behalf of the different contenders and involving all local,
regional and rigdewide bodies of the world of monsters, the High Council of
Spirts, the Association of Vampires and Werewolves, the Serpent and Slimy
Creatures Senate and the lesser bodies finally agree that Count Dready is
the rightful king and will be crowned at the occasion of Halloween
2002. It
was also decided that the definite loser of the election, Skullandbones will
be imprisoned in the deepest dungeon of Dread Manor and banished from public
life forever. Skullandbones personally thanked the High Council for the
clement sentence, stating that he would enjoy the cold and peaceful
atmosphere forever. He only asked for a load of slime from his native
territory, the Swamp to accommodate his prison.
A few questions could not
be solved by the different Monster Ridge bodies though and the High Council
of Spirits once more refers to you, our dear visitors to help decide on
these vital minor issues. Please cast your vote for the following two
questions, regarding the fate that should be reserved for the two contestants
of the election : Aldor Van Archaunt and Zamin Beauregard de Sasson.
