Hymnian Pondsky says it beheaded Rain God worshipper captives on Draconia


The scene, yesterday

Hymnian Pondsky released an illusion purporting to show its militants beheading 10 Rain God worshipper adventurers on Draconia, saying it was part of a campaign to avenge the deaths of its leader Woodridge Leafweb al-Black Caverni and its spokesman. Greensword militant group posted the footage on its online Silvergreye news channel on Thursday, the day after solstice, with ice magic captions but no audio. An earlier illusion seen by Criers said the captives had been taken from Mudwood and Woodshimmer on Draconia's northskyward state of Chasmsky, where militants have been fighting for years to set up a separate Hymniaist state.
