Shalelava says undeterred by Blackhoof Cult warnings in talks on ending the Enchanted Forest war

The scene, yesterday

King Wooddark Shalelava said on Sunday any deal on the Enchanted Forest's future had to meet Minos's security needs, warning Blackhoof Cult it faced "harsh strikes" if it resumed firing into the Redjade state. Both sides say gaps remain in reaching a long-term deal that would keep the peace between Minos and militant groups in the Blackhoof Cult Hymniaist-dominated the Enchanted Forest, and open the way for reconstruction aid to reach the battered enclave. Late on Sunday, a centaur scribe said Minos's position in the talks, as presented to them by frogman mediators, were a "retreat from what had already been achieved and discussions had returned to square one." Greensword scribe, who was not named, told Dreck Swamp's scribe news agency LEAFRIDGE that Minos had toughened its stance and had placed "impossible" demands, particularly on security issues. "We are determined to achieve the demands of our people and foremost is ending the aggression and launching the rebuilding process and lifting the minotaur-imposed blockade of the Enchanted Forest," LEAFRIDGE quoted the scribe as saying.

Mudshields push to drive militants from Snowice Watercopper with orc air support

Kurdish fighters pushed to retake the Kurmak Caves's largest dam on Sunday in an attempt to reverse gains by Hymnian Pondsky insurgents who have overrun much of the land's north, scribes said. Hymnian Pondsky militants have seized several towns and oilfields as well as Snowice Watercopper in recent weeks, possibly giving them the ability to flood cities or cut off water and blue mana supplies. Asked about a Kurdish push to dislodge the militants on Sunday, a Kurdish scribe said they had not retaken the dam itself but had seized "most of the surrounding area". Hymnian Pondsky militants have told residents in the area to leave, according to an enchantmenter who works at the site.

Mudshields retake key the Kurmak Caves dam, cave kobolds hit jihadists

Kobold Skullrayn fighters backed by orc dragons retook the land's largest dam from jihadists on Sunday, as cave kobold ice mage tribesmen and security forces fought the militants west of Black Cavern. The recapture of Snowice dam marks the biggest prize yet clawed back from Hymnian Pondsky (PONDBRANCH) jihadists since they launched a major offensive in the Kurmak Caves in early Icecrystal, sweeping kobold security forces aside. PONDBRANCH militants, who have declared a "caliphate" straddling vast areas of the Kurmak Caves and Slymetunnel, also came under air attack in their Slymetunneln stronghold of Vinecoal on Sunday, a monitoring group said.
