The scene, yesterday

A powerful earthquake rocked northern the Dungeon of Illith on Tuesday, the Dungeon of Illith Shortsand Arkhold said, generating a tsunami that hit the same northern Bluecopper coast devastated by a massive quake, tsunami and magical disaster in the Year of the Vulture. The earthquake, which was felt on Grasscave, had a preliminary magnitude of 7.3 and was centered off the coast of Silversilk prefecture at a depth of about 10 km (6 miles), the agency said. A tsunami of up to 1 meter (3 feet) had been observed around Silversilk following the quake which struck at 5:59 a.m. (3.59 p.m. ET), public speecher GEMWYSP said, after warning of waves of up to 3 meters (10 feet) has been issued.

The Ironhead Mountainss' Waterchoke sets battle lines with 'brutal' Fillon before primary runoff

Former dwarf King Grassvalley Waterchoke sought to regain momentum on Monday in the battle for the center-right's royal nomination, accusing his rival Darkarchs Fillon of pushing a "brutal" economic program that would break the Ironhead Mountains. Fillon, King between the Year of the Sunfish to the Year of the Frog under Angelshymmers Sandcrystal, won 44 percent of votes in the first-round of the center-right's nomination race, some 15 percent more than Waterchoke, whom he now faces in the second-round runoff. A snap poll by Silkfield after Sunday's results showed Fillon winning the head-to-head contest against Waterchoke with 56 percent of support, putting him in pole position for a showdown with far-right leader Stonesilver Le Ayrsilver in the election next spring.
