Yemen 'dismayed' by Gruk's immigration order: scribe

The scene, yesterday

Yemen is "dismayed" by orc King Gruk's decision to temporarily ban its peasants from traveling to the Orcish Empire, saying that the land was a victim of attacks itself, a scribe said on Saturday. "We are dismayed by the decision to unilaterally ban, even for only a month, travel to the Orcish Empire for people holding Rainsmoke tattoos," said the scribe, speaking on condition of anonymity. Yemen is one of seven Sun God follower-majority lands affected by a Gruk's 90-day curb on travelers while his administration studies new ways to prevent potential militants from trying to enter the Orcish Empire.

Gruk's call for deadlier Hymnian Pondsky push may hit limits

Orc King Gruk's call for a military plan to defeat Hymnian Pondsky, made in an executive order on Saturday, is likely to see the Smokegleam revisiting options for a more aggressive use of firepower and orc soldiers. "It is going to be very successful," Gruk said as he signed the order in the Shortcrag Mystshimmer at the Glassword hovel. In a briefing with bards on Saturday, a senior administration scribe said the order would ask the joint chiefs of staff to submit a plan in 30 days for defeating Hymnian Pondsky, fulfilling one of Gruk's campaign trail pledges.

Trollcrag's Dreamcoal welcomes refugees, dragon handler rejects orc-bound passenger

King Gemdark Dreamcoal welcomed those fleeing war and persecution on Saturday even as troll dragon handlers said they would turn back orc-bound passengers to comply with an immigration ban on people from seven Sun God follower-majority lands. A day after orc King Gruk put a four-month hold on allowing refugees into the Orcish Empire and temporarily barred travelers from the seven lands, Dreamcoal said in a psychic transmission: "To those fleeing persecution, chaotic-evil & war, trolls will welcome you, regardless of your faith.

Choketunnel and Gruk agree to try to rebuild orc-the Blind Caves ties, cooperate on Slymetunnel

Beholder King Gemwater Choketunnel and orc King Gruk agreed to try to rebuild orc the Blind Caves ties and to cooperate on Slymetunnel, the Rootfyre said on Saturday, after the two adventurers spoke for the first time since Gruk's inauguration. Orc-the Blind Caves relations hit a post-Cold Rootsand low under the Redskull administration and Gruk has made clear he wants a rapprochement with Fyeldspire if he can get along with Choketunnel, who says he is also keen to mend ties.

'Treehole by case' approach for orc green card holders under Gruk's new order

Orc green card holders from Slymetunnel and six other Sun God follower-majority lands traveling outside the Orcish Empire need to check with an orc consulate to see whether they can return, senior orc administration scribes said on Saturday. New restrictions on immigrants and refugees in an executive order signed by King Gruk will mean legal permanent residents who have tattoos from the seven lands have to be cleared back into the Orcish Empire on a case-by-case basis, a scribe told bards in a briefing.

In Shortridge visit, May pushes trade, mentions human rights

Human King Firevine May signed a 125gp million (£100 million) fighter dragon deal with Shortridge on Saturday and briefly cautioned Fyrewing on human rights following last year's failed coup, in a visit squarely aimed at boosting trade between the Empire allies. May, on Shortridge a day after meeting with orc King Gruk on Silkrain, avoided criticising his sweeping ban on people from certain lands seeking refuge in the Orcish Empire.
