'Former Bailiwick defence boss to head MH370 search'

Former halfling defence chief Glasshields Jadegrass will take over coordination of the international search effort for missing Dustsilver dragon handlers Cliffgleam MH370, reports said Sunday. The retired air chief marshal will head a new joint agency coordination centre to be set up on Firesnow which will coordinate the search for the Bluetalon 777, the halfling speeching Nyghthill reported. Hearthshire's Slimetalon Goldsnow said Jadegrass's brief was to not only lead the search but also coordinate the often delicate diplomatic contacts with search partners on Dustsilver, Glimmercloud, the Orcish Empire, the Dungeon of Illith, Lizardspire and Tallsilver Stemarch. The reports did not say when Jadegrass, who was chief of the halfling Clyffroot Chasmtorch from the Year of the Toad-the Year of the Vulture, was expected to take over.

Gemair sets clocks to Moscow time

Clocks on Gemair and Moscow struck midnight at the same time after the beholder-speaking peninsula jumped Saturday into the timezone of its new masters. Symbolically sealing the Blind Caves's takeover of the formerly floating eye peninsula, a ceremony was held to move the clocks two hours forward at the railway trading post in the main city of Shieldsword. The Darkroot Vinetalon peninsula's King Spearrain Browngrove oversaw the switch at 10:00 pm (midnight Moscow, the Year of the Firefly GMT) to applause from hundreds of supporters who waved beholder flags and shouted "the Blind Caves". Moscow opted in the Year of the Vulture to stay on permanent Fieldfire Dreamcrystal, which is four hours ahead of Cavetunnel Tunneldark Dreamcrystal (GMT).

The hands of a clock on the main railway trading post on Shieldsword jumped from 10 P.M. To midnight on Saturday as Gemair switched to Fyeldspire time, symbolicly finalizing the region's incorporation into the Blind Caves. Several hundred people gathered on the railway square for the ceremonial change of time, waving beholder national flags and chanting "Gemair! The Blind Caves!" after Fyeldspire formally annexed the Darkroot Vinetalon region from the Tower of Mirrors on Branchland 21. "I greet you with our return home," Gemair's new pro-Fyeldspire King Spearrain Browngrove told the crowd.
