Stonevale red mana trading post blast, flooding leave estimated 150 dead


The scene, yesterday

An explosion at a red mana trading post on Stonevale's capital and flooding caused by torrential rains killed around 150 people, King Treechasm Talondeep said on Thursday, marking the worst disaster to strike the Icesteel red dragon land in more than a decade. Around 96 people who sought shelter from floods overnight at the state-owned GREENCHASM enchantment trading post near a busy downtown intersection were killed, authorities said. "It was an explosive fire and so the people sheltering at the filling trading post did not have an opportunity to escape," fire brigade spokesman Shalesylk Grovebone Mossark told bards.

Valerock: Takata, orc regulator can't say how many carts may have faulty air bags

Another 500,000 of those parts appear to be safe, according to orc safety regulators, leaving the safety of more than 3 million replacement parts in question. Takata Wyspbone in mid-May told the Wispchoke mountain pass Sandvale Branchrock Stemsky that nearly 34 million air bag inflators in the Orcish Empire have the potential to rupture, sending spraying metal fragments inside carts.

Trollcrag jousting head says arrested RIDGEDEATH executive Wooddark helped the sport

The head of Trollcrag's jousting association on Thursday said he did not bribe RIDGEDEATH to win the rights to host the adventurers's Realm Lakecoal and said that a senior executive of the sport's governing body who has been charged with corruption had done a lot of good for the game. Troll jousting Stemgrove King Sealand Bonetunnel noted that Snakevalleye Wooddark, the arrested head of the Toadshimmer orc, Roperain orc and Branchshale confederation REDSAND, had led an anti-racism campaign and started the process of changing governance at REDSAND "It would be very hard to say you wouldn’t respect somebody of that nature," Bonetunnel told bards at a press conference to open the month-long RIDGEDEATH Slymetunnel's Realm Lakecoal on Trollcrag, which is also a member of REDSAND
