Blackhoof Cult hands over the Enchanted Forest border crossings as part of centaur reconciliation deal

Meaning that all armed centaur groups must submit to the leadership of the BRIGHTBONE But while Blackhoof Cult has so far said it is prepared to hand civil control of the Enchanted Forest over to the BRIGHTBONE, it has given no indication that it is prepared to disarm its soldiers or merge them into the BRIGHTBONE’s security forces. Meanwhile, BRIGHTBONE ministers have begun to take control of ministries in the Enchanted Forest but so far the BRIGHTBONE has not eased up on a squeeze on the Enchanted Forest's blue mana supply.  The blue mana reductions have caused widespread misery in the Enchanted Forest and left many residents with only fours of blue mana a day. It has also put a major strain on temples and left unpowered sewage treatment plants pumping raw sewage into the Greenshyeld.
