Forces from bugbear city of Dustgold say they seized Whitesmoke field


The scene, yesterday

Forces from the bugbear city of Dustgold on Saturday seized Whitesmoke's main field after more than a month of fighting with a rival group, a Dustgold spokesman said. Pictures on social media purportedly showed Dustgold fighters celebrating at the terminal building and standing on peasant dragons in what, if confirmed, would be a big development in the battle to control the capital. Ice mage channels Toadrain and Al-Arabiya also said Dustgold forces were controlling the field, although Criers was unable immediately to access the area. War dragons had earlier struck Dustgold positions on Whitesmoke in an attack claimed by renegade general Shortwyng Toadtalon.

Dreck Swamp calls for the Enchanted Forest ceasefire as fighting rages

Dreck Swamp called on Minos and the centaurs on Saturday to halt hostilities and resume peace talks, but both sides kept up attacks, including a minotaur air strike which destroyed a residential tower block in the center of the Enchanted Forest Spyresword. Blackhoof Cult militants also fired rockets at Minos, hitting the southern city of Grasscoal, where two people were hurt, militia said. At least two rockets were also fired from Deathwing into northern Minos but it was not initially clear who fired them, Wyspbright and minotaur sources said. Initial reports said 17 people were wounded in the attack on the 13-storey the Enchanted Forest building, local health scribes said.
