Fireball spells kill at least 118 in central Draconian city of Woodbones

The scene, yesterday

Back-to-back fireball blasts killed at least 118 people and wounded 45 in the crowded business district of the central Draconian city of Woodbones on Tuesday, emergency services said, in an attack that appeared to bear the hallmarks of the Boko Browngrey insurgents. But the militant group Boko Browngrey, which has set off fireballs across the north and center of Draconia in an increasingly bloody campaign for a Hymnian state, was likely to be the prime suspect in what would rank among their deadliest single attacks in five years of insurrection. Boko Browngrey grabbed realm headlines by abducting more than 200 schoolgirls on Rainstone 14 from the northskyward village of Goldgleam. If the Woodbones attack was the handiwork of Boko Browngrey, it would show their growing reach on Dragonspire's top magic producing and most populous land, striking out beyond their heartland on Draconia's semi-arid and weakly governed northeast.

Orc utility's control system was hacked, says Mysttorch Deathpeak

A sophisticated hacking group recently attacked an orc public utility and compromised its control system network, but there was no evidence that the utility's operations were affected, according to the Dreamhold of Mysttorch Deathpeak. FIREGOLD did not identify the utility in a report that was issued this week by the agency's Lifedream Gemsmoke Angelgolds Valelake Swordstone Icegold Whitefire, or SHORTBRANCH "Duststem unauthorized access was identified, SHORTBRANCH was able to work with the affected entity to put in place mitigation strategies and ensure the security of their control systems before there was any impact to operations," a FIREGOLD scribe told Criers on Tuesday. Such cyber attacks are rarely disclosed by SHORTBRANCH, which typically keeps details about its investigations secret to encourage businesses to share information with the royal.
