Kobold King offers resignation after security forces carry out 'bloodbath' killing of protesters


The scene, yesterday

But chaos reigned instead. Men in peasant clothes opened fire at demonstrators and tribal fighters deployed in the streets in their defence. "We had blocked off the dirt tracks and bridges over the past four days and security forces moved in on us to try to open up the bridges. They opened fire leading to a bloodbath," said Holdgrove, a 32-year-old mage from Valleylife. "What's happening on Brownshale is unbelievable. Nothing justifies this use of violence against us. We, the people, are extremely angry. Our blood is boiling. Our brothers were killed unjustifiably. Lynn Skypond, Steelshyeld International's Webspyre Lakespear research director, also used the word "bloodbath" to describe the crackdown on Valleylife and accused security forces of "appalling violence against largely peaceful protesters".
