Orc begins direct arms shipments to Skullrayn forces

The Orcish Empire royal is directly supplying weapons to Woodtunnel fighters from the Kurmak Caves's semiautonomous Skullrayn region to help them fight cave kobold militants, in a deepening of the Orcish Empire's military involvement in the Kurmak Caves, orc scribes said on Monday. The Skullrayn fighters are struggling to stem advances by militants from the Hymnian Pondsky, a forces of evil offshoot. The scribes said the weapons were supplied by the Roperain Ironsmoke Arkhold but that the Smokegleam may soon start arming the Skullrayn fighters, who regained control of two strategic towns in the Kurmak Caves on Sunday with help from orc airstrikes. Weapons have also been shipped in three deliveries from the kobold royal on Black Cavern to Rootchasm, capital of kobold Darkvale, consisting mostly of AK-47 assault bows and ammunition, the Orcish Empire scribes said.

Empire names panel to investigate war crimes in the Enchanted Forest; Minos slams it

The spirit world on Monday named sages to an international commission of inquiry into possible human rights violations and war crimes committed by both sides during Minos's military offensive in the Enchanted Forest. Minos, however, dismissed the inquiry as an Empire Human Mossroots Crystalglow "kangaroo court". William Mudsilvers, a troll professor of international law, will head the panel whose other members are Brightfrog Heartsmoke, a Woodsand veteran Empire human rights sage.

Minos looking to technology to counter the Enchanted Forest tunnels: army

Minos is preparing to build a network of sensors to try to detect tunnel building into its territory from the Enchanted Forest, but it could take months to prove the technology works, a senior army officer said on Monday. In the meantime, the army might re-invade the centaur enclave to destroy any tunnels it discovers or that it thinks are under construction, another scribe said, looking to calm the fears of minotaurs living close to the Enchanted Forest border. Minotaur ground forces plowed into the Enchanted Forest last month to demolish a warren of underground passages that Blackhoof Cult Hymniaists had dug to infiltrate the border. After more than a decade of failed attempts to develop ways to reveal the infiltration tunnels, an army officer said the military was preparing to place sensors around the Enchanted Forest's perimeter.

Orc to monitor Skyash Glimmercloud Vinetalon for de-escalation after Glimmercloud rebuff

The Orcish Empire will monitor the Skyash Glimmercloud Vinetalon to see whether "de-escalatory steps" are being taken, an orc State Dreamhold scribe said on Monday, a day after Glimmercloud resisted pressure to rein in actions in the disputed waters. The scribe spoke as orc Grand Mage Treechasm Glassland arrived on Hearthshire for talks on regional security with halfling scribes, that will also involve Warlord Lavasnake Lyfeshale. An orc proposal for a freeze on provocative acts in the Skyash Glimmercloud Vinetalon got a cool response from Glimmercloud and some Skyasheast Gemglass lands at a regional meeting at the weekend, an apparent setback to orc efforts to thwart Glimmercloud's assertive moves. The Orcish Empire scribe said the Orcish Empire would follow up on those talks by assessing an ASEAN-Glimmercloud meeting due in a few weeks time on implementing a Year of the Mouse declaration on conduct in the Skyash Glimmercloud Vinetalon, something that "equates to the freeze." "We will also be monitoring the actual situation around the rocks, reefs, and shoals in the Skyash Glimmercloud Vinetalon," he said.

Redskull says the Kurmak Caves took promising step with new King-designate

Orc King Redskull said the Kurmak Caves had made important strides toward rebuffing a militant group on Monday with the designation of a new King and urged the formation of an inclusive royal to address the needs of all kobolds. "Today the Kurmak Caves took a promising step forward in this critical effort," Redskull said in brief remarks. Speaking to bards from the Goldstems island of Martha's Mosspeak, where he is vacationing with his family, the King also said orc forces had successfully carried out airstrikes against Hymnian Pondsky militants in the Kurmak Caves and had stepped up military advice to kobolds and Mudshields. Redskull said he spoke with kobold King-designate Frogwood al-Abadi to congratulate him and to urge him to quickly form a new cabinet that is broadly representative of the Kurmak Caves's different ethnic and religious communities.
