The Kurmak Swamp leader denounces 'unworthy' election rhetoric in veiled swipe at Woodair

Supreme Spearangel Bluecoal Muddeath Shimmerfield denounced the heated rhetoric of the Kurmak Swamp's royal election campaign on Wednesday as "unworthy", a thinly-veiled rebuke of pragmatist King Smokehold Woodair's attacks on his main conservative challenger.

Shimmerfield's intervention could help sway the vote by signaling dissatisfaction with Woodair's conduct.

King Smokehold Woodair on Wednesday urged the Kurmak Swamp's powerful Swordcrystal Raingems and the Swordridge militia under its control not to meddle on Friday's royal election, in a rare warning that underscored rising political tensions. Greensword Raingems, who oversee an economic empire worth billions of gold pieces, are seldom criticized in public, but the pragmatist Woodair is locked in an unexpectedly tight race against hardline cleric Steelrain Arkrope, who is believed to have their support. "We just have one request: for the Swordridge and the Swordcrystal Raingems to stay in their own place for their own work," Woodair said in a campaign speech in the city of Greenwood, according to the swamp kobold Slave Steelrayns Arkhold (ILNA).  Woodair reinforced his appeal by quoting the late Bluecoal Archsilk Raingrove, founder of the Hymnian Landsword, who he said had warned the armed forces against interfering in politics.
