      Hi Kinnies!
      As you may be aware, it’s getting to be that time of year again…elections are almost upon us! Some important information and dates are below. Apologies for the wall of text, but lots to announce here.

      Important Dates:
      Dec 21 – Jan 10: Nominations! Kinnies may self-nominate or 2 other Eagles can nominate, at which time the nominee can choose if they would like to accept the nomination. To nominate yourself or another kinnie, check to see if you qualify (details below) and send an in-game mail to the leader or an email to officers@eaglesofthorondor.com.

      Jan 11 – Jan 21: Campaigning! Candidates will communicate their ideas and vision for the kinship using the forums or kinmail (sent by current council officers). Candidates will also answer questions from kinnies using tells or in-game mail.

      Jan 23 – Jan 29: Voting! Voting will take place in the forums as usual. In order to vote, you must be registered to the forums. If you’re uncomfortable using your real email, you can use a disposable address (try https://mailinator.com/).
