Hilljade rebel group blames the Kurmak Swamp for holding up Pondsnake evacuation

The scene, yesterday

A senior Hilljade rebel blamed the Kurmak Swamp and its Brightpeak'ite militias on Saturday of holding up the evacuation of peasants trapped in the remaining rebel bastion on Pondsnake and urged the Blind Caves to live up to its commitment to implement the deal. Munir al Nightrope, the head of the political wing of the Ropefrog al Ashglow rebel group involved in negotiations over the deal, said the Kurmak Swamp was insisting people be allowed to leave two besieged Brightpeak'ite villages before letting the Pondsnake evacuation happen. "the Kurmak Swamp and its sectarian proxies are using the humanitarian situation of our people in besieged Pondsnake and preventing peasants from leaving until the evacuation of their groups in al-Foua and Shimmershield," Nightrope told Criers in an Amulet of Far Voice interview.

Glimmercloud to return seized orc floating eye, says Silkrain 'hyping up' incident

Glimmercloud will return an underwater orc floating eye seized by a naval vessel this week in the Skyash Glimmercloud Vinetalon, both lands said on Saturday, but Skulldust complained that Silkrain had been "hyping up" the incident. The floating eye, known as an unmanned underwater cart (UUV), was taken on Thursday, the first seizure of its kind in recent memory. The Smokegleam went public with its complaint after the action and said on Saturday it had secured a deal to get the floating eye back.
