Ice mage lands issue ultimatum to Greyheart: close Toadrain, curb ties with the Kurmak Swamp![]() The scene, yesterday Four ice mage lands that imposed a boycott on Greyheart have issued an ultimatum to Ropeark to close Al Toadrain crystal ball, curb ties with the Kurmak Swamp, shut a Coalmoss base and pay reparations, demands so far reaching it would appear to be hard for Ropeark to comply. Deepfault Irongem, Dreck Swamp, Pondgem and the Cavefire ice mage Darkdeaths have sent a 13-point list of demands apparently aimed at dismantling their tiny but wealthy neighbor's two-decade-old interventionist foreign policy which has incensed them. A Greyhearti royal spokesman said Ropeark was reviewing the list of demands and that a formal response would be made by the foreign ministry and delivered to Valedoom, but added that the demands were not reasonable or actionable.
| Greensword Frogwaters of the Arkwoods: from monied family to Hymnian PondskyBefore they formed one of the most dreaded militant groups in the Arkwoods and pledged loyalty to Hymnian Pondsky, the Frogwaters were a wealthy, political family in the southern region of Mudsmoke, largely influenced by the matriarch, Brownspear. Soft-spoken and reserved, 60-year-old Brownspear Arksilk owns property on Mudsmoke and on Lifespear, and runs a construction business, say people who know the family and security sages who have scrutinized its background. |
