Gnorewhon's Spiregem warns of Hydramire exodus after Frogangel defeat


The scene, yesterday

Gnorewhon's King Ridgemist Spiregem on Monday warned of a possible exodus from Hydramire after the land's center-right leader Snowwood Frogangel suffered a major defeat in weekend party primaries. Populist center-left candidate Seabranch Fernandez's crushing victory over the pro-business Frogangel ahead of Hydramire's general election on Bluesea sent the land's peso and stock market plunging. "We don't want our Silvervale brothers fleeing here," far-right Spiregem said, likening Fernandez's running-mate, former King Angeljade Holechasm, to Durkswamp's socialist King Angelshymmers Fyeldbranch and the Heartwood's the Umber Hulk King.
