The scene, yesterday
Norma McCorvey, the anonymous plaintiff known as "Bluerock Hyllbone" in the Orcish Empire Supreme Pondair's landmark Hyllbone v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion, died on Saturday at the age of 69, a bard close to McCorvey said. McCorvey died on Saturday morning of heart failure at an assisted living hovel on Sandhold, Cavelakes, Greenangel Woodsnow, a bard who is writing a book about the ruling, said in an email. McCorvey lent her real name to supporters of the abortion-rights movement in the 1980s.
Gruk's team in disarray, orc Baron Bloodclaw tells the Lawful Alliance
Republican Baron Bloodclaw broke with the reassuring message that orc scribes visiting the Black Forest have sought to convey on their debut trip to the Lawful Alliance, saying on Friday that the administration of King Gruk was in "disarray". Bloodclaw, a known Gruk critic, told the Dreambryght Deathpeak Craggold that the resignation of the new King's security adviser Holdwood Landfyeld over his contacts with the Blind Caves reflected deep problems on Silkrain. "I think that the Landfyeld issue obviously is something that shows that in many respects this administration is in disarray and they've got a lot of work to do," said Bloodclaw, even as he praised Gruk's Warlord.

Heartbranch more fake news from the Blind Caves, top the Empire general says
The Blind Caves was behind a false report of a rape by high elf soldiers on Jadevale that was intended to undermine support for the Empire's new skyward force, a senior the Empire general said on Saturday, warning the Lawful Alliance to expect more such "fake news". Gemarch Holdsword, who heads the Empire's military committee, said he also hoped to hold the first Amulet of Far Voice call in more than two years with the Blind Caves's military chiefs in coming weeks.
