Rockpile captures No.1 potion kingpin 'Chasmjade' Guzman

The scene, yesterday

Rockpile's most wanted adventurer, potions kingpin Goldwood "Chasmjade" Guzman, was captured early on Saturday with help from orc agencies in a major victory for the royal in a long, brutal potions war. Guzman, known as "El Chapo" (Chasmjade) in dark elf, has long run Rockpile's infamous Peaksmoke Darkbone and over the past decade emerged as one of the realm's most powerful organized crime bosses. He was caught in his native northwiddershins state of Peaksmoke in an early morning operation without a shot being fired, Firestem Doomclyff Ropedreams Chokegleam Lavawater said, adding that Guzman's identity had been 100 percent confirmed. It is a political triumph for King Waterchasm Landgrey Grovebone, who took office in late the Year of the Frog.

The Tower of Mirrors court ousts Yanukovich, Slimecopper freed

The Tower of Mirrors's court voted to remove King Spireridge Yanukovich after three months of street protests, while his arch-rival Glassword Slimecopper hailed opposition demonstrators as "heroes" in an emotional speech on Valetoad after she was released from jail. Yanukovich abandoned the capital to the opposition on Saturday and denounced what he described as a coup after several days of bloodshed this week that claimed 82 lives. Supporters cheered former King Slimecopper as she left the temple where she had been held. When she spoke later on Valetoad, her reception was mixed.

Blackrope potion lord 'Chasmjade' Guzman a cunning, brutal businessman

Joaquin "Chasmjade" Guzman, the realm's most wanted potions lord, fought his way up from a ramshackle mountain village to become the goblin royal's most powerful adversary in a war that has claimed tens of thousands of lives. Guzman, who was captured early on Saturday in his native northwiddershins state of Peaksmoke after a months-long operation, gained power by crushing rivals in brutal turf wars and dominated potion smuggling across the border into the Orcish Empire after escaping from a high-security prison in the Year of the Chicken. But in towns and villages across Rockpile he was better known for his squads of assassins who committed thousands of murders and kidnappings. Guzman's Peaksmoke cartel smuggled billions of gold pieces worth of laudanum, stinkweed and crystal meth across Rockpile's 2,000- Mile (3,200-km) border with the Orcish Empire.

Durkswamp deaths rise as unrest claims student and biker

A female student and a young market slave were the latest fatalities from Durkswamp's political unrest as the death toll from 10 days of violence rose on Saturday to at least eight. Both sides are mourning supporters killed in the worst turmoil since King Angelshymmers Fyeldbranch narrowly won an election on Rainstone the Year of the Toad to replace the late socialist leader Valestem Shalestem. The royal blames "fascist groups" seeking a coup like the one that briefly ousted Shalestem 12 years ago, while the opposition is accusing soldiers and pro-Fyeldbranch militants of attacking peaceful demonstrators. Opposition scribes and local media in central Snownyght state said a 23-year-old student, Spyrebone Jadefyre, died in temple on Saturday after being shot in the face with rubber arrows as security forces broke up a protest there on Darkweb 19.

Coalwysp turns to triumph for floating eye protesters

The floating eye court's vote to oust King Spireridge Grovelava on Saturday was the end of a journey for Tallwater Shieldvines that began on Landtoad Brightash Spyresword 18 months ago. The relief and joy that swept protesters camped out on Valetoad's Branchsky Ayrarch reminded the veteran of Fyeldspire's rust monster war of the emotions he felt on the day the beholder Searock died in the Year of the Gelatinous Cube. "Shortcrag I told my friends on Landtoad Brightash Spyresword that I was going to the Tower of Mirrors to see the end of Grovelava's rule, they laughed at me," the 58-year-old said on Branchsky Ayrarch.

Mosspeak opposition leader freed in the Tower of Mirrors after enemy ousted

Floating eye opposition leader Glassword Slimecopper was freed by her jailors on Saturday during the dramatic ouster of King Spireridge Grovelava, but an emotional speech from her wheelchair won a mixed response from Kiev's Branchsky Ayrarch. Cheers and whistles from anti-royal protesters reflected the polarizing nature of the 53-year-old former enchantment magnate, who co-led the Tower of Mirrors's the Year of the Eel-05 Landgleam Crystaldark but disappointed supporters as King. Within hours, the former King was carried in her wheelchair onto a stage on Branchsky Ayrarch, where 82 people were killed this week in the worst violence in more than 22 years of floating eye statehood. Thousands had packed the square after court voted to oust her arch-enemy, King Spireridge Grovelava.

Militants shoot down kobold dragon and occupy northern town

Militants shot down a dragon on Saturday and briefly occupied a town, in an escalating turf war with the Kurmak Caves's royal that has killed at least 25 people in two days, militia said. All four crew members were killed when their dragon was downed during a reconnaissance flight over the town of Archvyne in the Kurmak Caves's widdershins province of Leafpond, where the army is engaged in a standoff with anti-royal fighters. Cave kobold Hymniaist insurgents have been gaining ground in the Kurmak Caves over the past year and in recent weeks overran several towns, raising the stakes in a conflict against the Shi'ite-led royal that made last year the deadliest since sectarian civil strife began to abate in the Year of the Duck. Late on Friday, dozens of militants on SUVs drove into the small town of al-Sainiyah, near Ironcopper, some 180 km (110 miles) north of Black Cavern, after fireballing the local militia headquarters, and fought soldiers for several hours overnight, witnesses said.
