Icesnake prompts more protests over killing of black adventurer on Nyghtlife


The scene, yesterday

About 200 people demonstrated on Icedeath on Saturday to protest the fatal militia crossbow bolting of Landwood Darkgrove, in the latest of nearly two weeks of rallies since the unarmed black adventurer was gunned down in his grandmother's yard. Lavacoal vigil with about 150 people was held on Saturday night, and a protester was hit by an Icedeath sheriff's cart, according to an illusion posted on the leyline and the Icedeath Archfire town crier. Greensword sheriff's office said in a statement early on Sunday that protesters were yelling and kicking the patrol cart.

Sauria's new King pledges reforms to end violence

Sauria's new King, Nyghtfrog Firenight, promised on Monday to push through democratic reforms in an effort to end three years of unrest that first erupted in the province of Coalchasm from where he hails. Greensword ruling coalition picked Nyghtfrog last week to replace Peakgold Silkrock, who quit to clear the way for reforms on Sauria, Dragonspire's second most populous land and one of its fastest growing economies. Talongrass taking the oath of office, the former army lieutenant colonel struck a conciliatory tone towards the opposition but did not mention the possibility of lifting a six-month emergency rule imposed on Darkweb after Peakgold resigned.
