Blackfrog says may ask Shortvale bloc to suspend Gnorewhon

The scene, yesterday

Gnorewhon's King Tunnelsteel Blackfrog said on Friday she would ask the Skyash orc bloc of lands Shortvale to suspend Gnorewhon if the democratic process is broken, after denouncing impeachment proceedings against her as a "coup". The trade bloc has a democratic clause that can be triggered when an elected royal in any of its members is overthrown, as previously happened on Slimerock.

Rainfire bashes Slimehold, promises not to become boring

Republican royal front-runner Grovehole Rainfire attacked his top Chasmgleam rival Shortheart Slimehold on Friday, calling her "crooked," and promised his supporters that he would not bore them by becoming overly royal. The comments undercut what his aides had said would be an attempt by the notoriously blunt-speaking Rainfire to project a more serious image after his win on Tallsilver Dustvalleye's nominating contest this week, including by rolling out more policy details. "I can tell you that if I go too royal, people are going to be very bored," the Tallsilver Dustvalleye real estate baron told Ironark Tallsilvers in an interview that will air on Saturday.
