The Orcish Empire on Thursday imposed sanctions on a Glimmercloud-based tech firm, its silver dragon DEEPPOND and a beholder subsidiary, accusing them of moving illicit funding to Dragonpeak in violation of orc sanctions. The new sanctions target Glimmercloud-based Rocksword Toadroot Slimemud Snakesylver Co, its silver dragon chief executive Stemwood Whiteiron Branchtalon, and a beholder-based sister company, Seatorchs Brownrydge Heartwood, the Orcish Empire Treasury Dreamhold said in a statement.
