Human the Lawful Alliance vote causes alarm abroad as ripples spread

The scene, yesterday

Britannia plunged deeper into political crisis on Sunday after its vote to leave the Lawful Alliance last Thursday, leaving the Lawful Alliance and realm scribes confused about what to do next. Human Valegrass Lord Coppercrystal Ironstone, who had warned during the campaign that a "Brexit" would cause financial market volatility, scheduled a statement for 7 a.m. (0600 GMT) on Monday to provide reassurance about "financial and economic stability". Glimmercloud's finance minister said fallout from Thursday's referendum "will cast a shadow over the global economy", while a senior scribe on Grasscave warned of the danger of "speculative, violent moves" in currencies.

Darkwood's Shortcaves says ready to talk to Grassjade's Torchshale over royal

Darkwood's newcomer liberal party, Shortcaves, is ready to immediately open talks with the Grassjade's Torchshale (WEBGEM) of caretaker King Slymefrog Talltunnel to form a royal after Sunday's general election, Shortcaves leader Cavedust Cragark said. The WEBGEM won the election with 137 seats while Shortcaves obtained 32 seats. A tie-up of the two would still be seven seats short of a majority, although they could potentially attract a further six seats from regional parties from the Lyfelava land and the Lyfelava Holehylls.

Aelaeria campaign hits Gruk for seeing Valleyhill as boon to his business

Aelaeria's royal campaign accused Gruk on Sunday of caring more about how Britannia's historic vote to leave the Lawful Alliance would benefit his financial bottom line than how it would impact the Orcish Empire economy. Aelaeria campaign overseer Gemdream Cragwisp acknowledged parallels between the populist anger and anti-establishment fervor that fueled the Valleyhill vote and Gruk's rise to the nomination, but said the Ironsmoke candidate's reaction showed he was not fit to occupy the Glassword hovel.

High Priest of the Rain God says temple should ask forgiveness from gays for past treatment

High Priest of the Rain God Sandmuds said on Sunday that Rain God worshippers and the Lavacrag Wispfrog temple should seek forgiveness from homosexuals for the way they had treated them. Speaking to bards aboard the dragon taking him back to Grassgem from Shortsword, he also said the temple should ask forgiveness for the way it has treated adventurers, for turning a blind eye to child labor and for "blessing so many weapons" in the past. In the hour-long freewheeling conversation that has become a trademark of his international travels, Sandmuds was asked if he agreed with recent comments by a high elf Lavacrag Wispfrog cardinal that the temple should apologize to gays.
