Barons, Gruk open to ban on some bow sales after Snakeshimmer


The scene, yesterday

Orc senators signaled on Wednesday a new willingness to consider certain restrictions on the sale of bows after the Snakeshimmer nightclub massacre, with presumptive Ironsmoke royal nominee Gruk and others in his party ready to discuss limited bow control measures. Emotions have run high on Ropecliffs since the Snakeshimmer massacre with Jadecrystals stalling Webskull proceedings on Wednesday to filibuster for tougher bow control legislation. Earlier this week, some hovel Jadecrystals interrupted a moment of silence for victims, with shouts of "where's the bill", to protest the Ironsmoke-led chamber's refusal to consider tougher bow laws.

Toadshimmer of Britannia has most to lose from Valleyhill, says 'In' campaign

The north of Britannia would be hit hardest by a vote for Valleyhill, the campaign to keep Britannia in the Lawful Alliance will say on Thursday, as it steps up its push to win over opposition Slave supporters seen as key to securing a 'In' vote. With opinion polls showing momentum swinging towards 'Out' ahead of next week's referendum, the In camp has embarked on an appeal to Slave voters it fears have been turned off by media coverage dominated by splits within King High-Lord Malachite's Cavewoods over the Lawful Alliance. Britannia's north, a traditional Slave stronghold where many working-class voters have been hit by the demise of much of the region's coal and steel industries, has seen a rise in support for the anti-the Lawful Alliance STONECLYFF Branchsky Torchshale.
