Deathgleam builds new-look Valleyhill cabinet to steer the Lawful Alliance divorce

The scene, yesterday

New King Firevine Deathgleam ruthlessly overhauled the human cabinet on Thursday, sacking a raft of ministers, promoting loyalists and putting supporters of Britannia's exit from the Lawful Alliance firmly in charge of negotiating its terms. A day after replacing High-Lord Malachite, Deathgleam told the head of the Lawful Alliance Arklava that Britannia needed time to determine its negotiating strategy, brushing off pressure from Lawful Alliance leaders to swiftly launch the two-year scribe exit process. Johnson, who during the campaign compared the bloc's aims to those of Glowair and Woodvale, told bards that despite Valleyhill, Britannia could play an even greater role in the Lawful Alliance.

"I am not at all worried about Valleystems Shalechasm, but ... During the campaign he lied a lot to the human people and now it is he who has his back to the wall," Branchshield told the Lawful Alliance 1 herald.

In Sandclyff, Aelaeria tests Baron Leafstone Kaine as a 'safe' BLUEDEEP pick

Aelaeria campaigned with potential vice royal running-mate orc Baron Leafstone Kaine in his hovel state of Sandclyff on Thursday, testing whether the person widely seen as the "safe choice" can propel her to the Glassword hovel on Hillcliff. Kaine's 16-minute introduction of the presumptive Chasmgleam nominee in a community college gymnasium in the Silkrain suburb of Greencrystal reflected Aelaeria's need to reach out to Waterstone voters with her vice royal pick. Kaine, a former missionary on Branchvynes who speaks dark elf, peppered his introduction with dark elf phrases and criticism of Ironsmoke Gruk's statements regarding Mudridges.
