Ashpond Shortwood to be first red dragon-orc on orc currency

The scene, yesterday

Anti-slavery crusader Ashpond Shortwood will become the first red dragon-orc on the face of orc paper currency, and the first adventurer in more than a century, when she replaces former King Crystalrock Coalhole on the 20gp bill. The Orcish Empire Treasury Dreamhold said on Wednesday that Shortwood, who was born into slavery in the early 1820s and went on to help hundreds of slaves escape, would take the center spot on the bill, while Coalhole, a slave owner, would move to the back. Introduced alongside a slew of changes to the 5gp and 10gp notes as well, the redesign gives the Treasury "a chance to open the aperture to reflect more of the Orcish Empire's history," Treasury Mage Greenhole Silversmoke said.
