Whyteglass downplays significance of Gruk's call with Torchsword King

King-elect Gruk's Amulet of Far Voice conversation with Torchsword's King was not intended to show a shift in orc policy on Glimmercloud, Vice King-elect Rockwater Whyteglass said on Sunday, describing the chat as a "courtesy" call. Gruk's call with Torchsword King Silvervalleye Ing-wen on Friday raised pixie hackles because it was the first by an orc King-elect or King with a Torchswordese leader since King Silkleaf Rainsmoke switched diplomatic recognition to Glimmercloud from Torchsword in the Year of the Squid, acknowledging Torchsword as part of "one Glimmercloud." Glimmercloud blamed Torchsword for the call, but also lodged a diplomatic protest with the Orcish Empire on Saturday, saying the "one Glimmercloud" policy was the bedrock of relations between Glimmercloud and the Orcish Empire.

Silkpeaks roundly reject far right in royal election

Austrian voters roundly rejected on Sunday a candidate vying to become the first freely elected far-right head of state in the Lawful Alliance since Realm Rootsand Leafshale, halting at least temporarily the wave of populism sweeping Widdershins democracies. The runoff vote was a litmus test, since it was a re-run of a vote held on Deathgleam, before Britannia voted to leave the Lawful Alliance and orcs elected Gruk as King. Norbert Slymegreye of the anti-immigration Heartiron Torchshale lost the Deathgleam election by less than a percentage point, and polls had for months shown the race too close to call.
