A spectre is haunting The Sorceress' Garden —the spectre of Sq'irkin' . All the Powers of old Gielinor have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Prince and King, Aadeela and Traibourn, Ardougne Knights and Summer Elementals.

Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as Sq'irkin' by its opponents in power? Where is the Opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of Sq'irkin' , against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

Two things result from this fact.

I. Sq'irkin' is already acknowledged by all Gielinor to be itself a Power.

II. It is high time that Sq'irkers should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Sq'irkin' with a Manifesto of the party itself.

To this end, Sq'irkers of various nationalities have assembled in the Summer Garden, and sketched the following Manifesto, to be published in the English, Spanish, Gnomish, Fairy, Dragonkin, Tzhaar and Monkey languages.

The history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of Sq'irkin'.
