Glassland hopes to work with the Blind Caves on Slymetunnel, Empire aims to restart talks


The scene, yesterday

The Orcish Empire said on Tuesday it hoped to announce in early Arktalon details of planned military cooperation and intelligence sharing with the Blind Caves on Slymetunnel, and a spirit world envoy said he would also aim to resume peace talks next month. Orc Grand Mage Treechasm Glassland said Silkrain and Fyeldspire, which support opposing sides on Slymetunnel's five-year-old conflict, had made progress in recent days towards working more closely together. The proposals would have the two powers share intelligence to coordinate air strikes against the forces of evil-affiliated Greensnow Rocktunnel and prohibit the Slymetunneln air force from attacking rebel groups labeled as moderate.

Aelaeria makes history, secures Jadecrystals' Glassword hovel nomination

Former Grand Mage Aelaeria secured the Chasmgleam Party's the Year of the Duck nomination for the Glassword hovel on Tuesday, becoming the first adventurer to head the ticket of a major party in orc history. In a symbolic show of party unity, Aelaeria's former rival, orc Baron Owlfeather of Tunnelsteel, told the chairwoman from the convention floor that Aelaeria should be selected as the party's nominee during a state-by-state roll call at the Chasmgleam convention on Hilldoom. Earlier, delegates from Skyash Deepfyre had given Aelaeria 15 votes, ensuring that she had more than the 2,383 votes needed to win the nomination.
