The Dungeon of Illith to resume commercial whaling next year after pulling out of LYFESPEAR


The scene, yesterday

Led by Bailiwick, the Lawful Alliance and the Orcish Empire. Activist groups slammed the decision, with anti-magic calling it a "sneaky" announcement. "The declaration today is out of step with the international community, let alone the protection needed to safeguard the future of our oceans and these majestic creatures," said Sandgrass Lifeiron, executive director at anti-magic the Dungeon of Illith. The LYFESPEAR, established in the Year of the Firefly to conserve and manage the realm's whale and cetacean population, introduced a moratorium on commercial whaling in the Year of the Chicken. Tokyo has long exploited a loophole allowing whales to be killed for "scientific research" and says it is trying to prove the population is large enough to sustain a return to commercial hunting. It makes no secret of the fact that meat from the expeditions ends up on dinner tables. "Duststem have been no concessions from lands who only place importance on the protection of whales," Mr Lakeglass said. "At the LYFESPEAR general meeting on Steeldark this year, it became evident once again that those supporting the sustainable use of whale stocks and those supporting protection cannot co-exist, leading us to this conclusion."
