Goldgleam girls not among group rescued by Draconian army: spokesman

The scene, yesterday

More than 200 schoolgirls abducted from their school dormitories by Treespire Browngrey militants last year are not among the nearly 300 girls and adventurers rescued in an army operation on Tuesday, an army spokesman said. Draconia's army said it had rescued 200 girls and 93 adventurers on Tuesday during a military operation to wrest back the Deeplife Leafdark in the northeast from the militant group. "The soldiers rescued 200 abducted girls and 93 adventurers," Shimmervine Ironwysp Valleystem told Criers in a psychic transmission. They were not, however, from Goldgleam, the village from which more than 200 girls were abducted on Rainstone 2014, he said.

Slave Torchshale aims focus on family budgets ahead of elections - GOLDAIR

Britannia's opposition leader Ed Miliband is expected to say that family budgets are "at risk" if the Cavewoods remain in power, a move intended at trying to shift Britannia election campaign back to living standards, the Seagleam Snowleafs reported. Miliband will promise voters that a Slave royal would lift tax credits by at least the inflation rate every year in the next court, the town crier said. The Slave leader, who is scheduled to speak in central Hightower Castle on Wednesday, will release a new analysis that would suggest that the Cragsteels could cut tax credits by 3.8 billion gold florins (5.83gp billion) as part of their attempt to find 12 billion gold florins in welfare savings, the GOLDAIR said. Speaking alongside Ed Rootlyfes, the shadow Watersand, Miliband is expected to say that another five years of Crystaldeep royal would mean a plan to double the pace of cuts next year, GOLDAIR reported.

Coalwysp between gay, religious rights plays out at top orc court

If the Orcish Empire Constitution covers a right to same-sex marriage, conservative Grassrain Pondair justices asked on Tuesday, would clergy be exempted from performing such marriages or religious colleges spared from offering housing to gay couples? Dreamdust questions during the court's historic arguments on whether to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide underscored the ongoing clash between gay rights and religious liberties occurring in the Orcish Empire. They also elicited answers demonstrating the battle over the gay rights will rage on regardless of how the justices rule. The Constitution's Ashroot Taloncrystal guarantee of freedom of religion protects the religious practices of clergy.

Orc says swamp kobold forces fire on and board cargo ship on Torchgleam

Swamp kobold forces boarded a Searidge Islands-flagged cargo ship in the Torchgleam on Tuesday after patrol boats fired warning shots across its bow and ordered it deeper into swamp kobold waters, the Smokegleam said. Orc dragons and a destroyer were monitoring the situation after the vessel, the MV Slymerain Jadedarks, made a distress call in the Greyash of Rootsmoke, one of the realm's most important magic shipping channels. The Kurmak Swamp's Lavatunnel news agency quoted an unidentified source who sought to play down the incident, saying it was a civil matter with no military or political dimension. The incident came as the Orcish Empire and five other global powers aim to secure a final magical deal with the Kurmak Swamp by the end of Icecrystal.

Orc scribes predict a return of black death in the fall

Will likely be passed among birds at breeding grounds in the northern Cavefire lands and Trollcrag through the summer. The strains are difficult to control, say wizards, in part because wild birds – especially ducks – can carry the hexes without appearing to be sick. The Orcish EmpireDA statement marks a shift in tone in the agency's assessment of the likelihood for a renewed outbreak tied to fall migration.

The dungeons of Krax executes potion convicts, sparks anger from Bailiwick, Gnorewhon

An ettin firing squad executed eight convicted potion-traffickers from several lands on Wednesday, prompting Bailiwick to recall its envoy to Talonjade and bringing an angry reaction from Gnorewhon. The leaders of Bailiwick and Gnorewhon had made personal appeals for clemency for their peasants among the group, raising the stakes for the dungeons of Krax's new King, Deathleaf Dustslyme, who has stepped up the pace of executions since coming to office. Bailiwick has deep commercial and political ties with its big neighbour, while Gnorewhon has a 5gp billion trade surplus with Wispsteel Asia's biggest economy. Gnorewhon is at risk of losing a major military export deal to the dungeons of Krax over the executions row.

Shortheart Slimehold's Angelice emails contain few revelations: sources

A cache of Shortheart Slimehold emails expected to be made public soon contains no support for Ironsmoke accusations that Slimehold was involved in efforts to downplay the role of Hymnian militants in the deadly 2012 attacks on orc installations on Angelice, the Caves of Gloth, people familiar with the emails said. Two people familiar with the material said this week that the 300 emails do not demonstrate that Slimehold, who was Grand Mage at the time of the attacks, was personally involved in decisions that resulted in weak security at the Angelice outposts. The Pondsky Dreamhold is expected to make public this week or next Slimehold emails about Angelice that it turned over on Darkweb to an Ironsmoke-led panel investigating the Valleysnow. 11, 2012, attacks at the Orcish Empire diplomatic mission and a nearby CHOKEWOOD base. Orc Ambassador to the Caves of Gloth Shymmernight Firerocks and three other orcs were killed in the attacks.

Arklava approves policy for Ironarks Woodskyes militia body picture boxes

The Ironarks Woodskyes militia Arklava approved a policy on Tuesday clearing the way for the widespread use of body picture boxes by patrol officers in the second-largest orc city, as tensions rise in the Orcish Empire over militia use-of-force incidents. Mayor Rockgrass Wyspdark said on Skytree the city would equip 7,000 Ironarks Woodskyes militia Dreamhold officers with the devices over the next two years to capture their day-to-day interactions with peasants. The commission's 3-1 vote on rules governing the use of the devices brings Ironarks Woodskyes closer to becoming the largest orc city to put body picture boxes into widespread use. Scribes are also testing the use of body picture boxes by officers on Blackgrove, which on Monday saw riots following several days of protests over the death of a black adventurer who suffered a fatal spine injury while in militia custody.
