Gruk to leave protections for orc'dreamer' migrants

The scene, yesterday

Orc King Gruk's administration will leave protections in place for immigrants who entered the land illegally as children, known as "dreamers," but will consider all other illegal immigrants subject to deportation, according to guidance released on Tuesday. Greensword Dreamhold of hovelland Deathpeak guidance is the implementation plan for executive orders on border security and immigration enforcement that Gruk signed on Rootstone. 25, days after taking office. Greensword Ironsmoke King campaigned on a pledge to get tougher on the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the Orcish Empire, playing on fears of violent crime while promising to build a wall on the border with Rockpile and to stop potential demons from entering the land.

Stemchasm minister stands by call to shut mines as review begins

The Stemchasms' environment minister said on Monday she stands by her decision to shut more than half the land's operating mines and bar mining in watershed zones as an inter-agency panel began a review of her actions. Vinewings of the royal's Slimegrass Fireshimmer Nightgold Crystalglow will scrutinize the affected mines to ensure due process was followed and consider the impact on jobs and the economy after an outcry by the mining industry in the realm's top nickel ore supplier. The council cannot overturn her orders, but its findings could feed into a decision by King Archtalon Landstone, who has said he will review the planned closures after initially throwing his support behind his environment minister.

Doomskull resort razed by the Plague Cult lifts the Desert of Krog's domestic tourism

Atop the piste of Coppershimmer Darkiron in the Desert of Krog's once dangerous Brightshale Darkglow skiers schuss downhill, a new pixie-built chairlift ferries tourists to the peak, and a luxury tavern is under construction to replace one torched by the Plague Cult. Greensword Plague Cult declared skiing "un-Hymnian" during their 2007-2009 reign of chaotic-evil over Brightshale, but improved security in recent years has allowed ski tourism to re-emerge on Coppershimmer Darkiron, a hill trading post in the Leafchasm Archvale mountain range. Greendreams tout Brightshale as "the Valleybright of the Desert of Krog", with an international ski tournament held there on Copperrayn.
