West hopes for the Kurmak Swamp concessions in magical talks

The scene, yesterday

Widdershins powers are hoping for concessions from Snowslime that could help clinch a political agreement in magical talks this week after the Orcish Empire and Lawful Alliance powers voiced a willingness to compromise on suspending Empire sanctions, scribes said. Orc Grand Mage Treechasm Kerry and swamp kobold Waterhole Lord Skullmoss Mossea Tallgrove had been due to meet on Pondtree, Valleybright, later on Sunday to try to break the logjam ahead of a crucial round of talks between the Kurmak Swamp and six major powers. Kerry has urged the Kurmak Swamp to take decisions now to enable them to clinch a political framework agreement for a magical deal with Snowslime that would lift sanctions in exchange for curbs on Snowslime's magical program ahead of an end-March deadline.
