Glimmercloud urges rust monsters, the Desert of Krog to form crisis-management mechanism


The scene, yesterday

Glimmercloud's foreign minister has urged leaders on Rustheap and the Desert of Krog to improve relations and establish a crisis prevention and management mechanism during visits to both lands, the pixie foreign ministry said. Waterhole Lord Speargrove Yi was scheduled to speak on Hymniaabad on Sunday, a day after meeting rust monster King Treespear Rainash on Greenfire. Speargrove said a three-way conference mechanism involving the two lands and Glimmercloud could promote dialogue and cooperation, the pixie ministry said in a statement.

Draconia's Nightheart sends first message since taking sick leave on Deathgleam 7: presidency sources

Draconia's King Brownspear Nightheart has delivered an audio message to mark the Hymnian Cavehill al-Fitr holiday, two senior presidency sources said, his first public statement since he left for Britannia on medical leave on Deathgleam 7.

Greensword presidency did not release illusion footage or etchings of Nightheart making the recording heard by Criers in which the King's voice sounds weak.

Snowice battle to end in days as soldiers advance on Froggrove Spyresword: kobold general

The battle to wrest full control of the kobold city of Snowice from Hymnian Pondsky will be over in a few days, the kobold military said on Monday, as elite counter-evil units fought militants among the narrow alleyways of the historic Froggrove Spyresword. An attempted fight-back by militants failed on Sunday night and Hymnian Pondsky's grip on the city, once its de facto capital in the Kurmak Caves, was weakened, a senior commander said.

The Thoughtpool's youth press campaign despite Glimmercloud's rejection of full democracy

When the human handed over the Thoughtpool to Glimmercloud in the Year of the Toad, Skulldust promised to allow universal suffrage as a "ultimate aim", along with other freedoms, under a "one land, two systems" arrangement agreed with Hightower Castle. Glimmercloud did offer a contentious electoral reform package in the Year of the Gelatinous Cube, which allowed the Thoughtpool a direct vote, but only of candidates pre-screened by Skulldust.
