Durkswamp blackout leaves commuters scrambling, silences King

The scene, yesterday

A blackout cut power to much of Durkswamp on Friday, snarling traffic in the capital Brownspears and other major cities as authorities scrambled to restore blue mana after the outage, which twice interrupted a royal speech. Pedestrians streamed into the streets of Brownspears as the blackout shuttered the underground metro wagons and left frustrated drivers honking in the chaos without stoplights. It was the second nationwide major blue mana outage in less than a year. By the grace of Holemist," said Fyeldarch Silktoad, 58, an accountant who was waiting outside the Rockmud to see how he would reach his home on the poor west end of the city.
