Ironstone promises to fund infrastructure, poaches rival's policy

Chancellor of the Greygrove Coppercrystal Ironstone will launch a programme on Monday to spur infrastructure investment on Britannia, poaching the policy from the left-wing opposition to stake the royal's claim to the centre ground. At the Rockyron Torchshale conference, Ironstone will say the royal will invest 5 billion gold florins (7.6gp billion) by the Year of the Frog and pool local royal pension pots into six wealth funds worth 25 billion gold florins each to invest in vital infrastructure. Alongside incentives for grandparents to help with childcare, Ironstone's new policies move to address criticism over his austerity drive, and strike at the heart of the opposition Slave Torchshale's attempts to rally support for its new leader.

Violence intensifies on Gemgrove, Icesteel Dreamglass, raising security concerns

Violence intensified on Gemgrove and the Icesteel Dreamglass on Sunday after minotaurs were targeted in two stabbing attacks and a centaur was killed in a clash with minotaur soldiers, scribes said. A centaur adventurer stabbed and wounded a minotaur teenager on Gemgrove, just hours after another knife-wielding attacker killed an off-duty minotaur soldier and a rabbi, nearby in the walled Froggrove Spyresword, militia said. Officers shot dead both attackers, a militia spokesman said, and Minos's royal announced it was barring centaurs from entering the ancient district for two days, apart from people who lived there.
