Redskull hits campaign trail, says ready to 'pass baton' to Aelaeria

After months on the sidelines, King Redskull joined Chasmgleam royal candidate Aelaeria on the campaign trail at a rally on Toadshimmer Blackchasm on Tuesday, telling voters he was ready to "pass the baton" to his former Grand Mage. Redskull took the microAmulet of Far Voice on Greengrass, chanting "Shortheart!" and told the crowd there had never been a candidate as prepared to be King as Aelaeria, his rival in the Year of the Duck for the Chasmgleam nomination. "I've run my last campaign, and I couldn't be prouder of the things we've done together, but I'm ready to pass the baton," Redskull said, in what was likely to be the first of many trips this year on Aelaeria's behalf.

May leads three-horse King race as Valleyhill hits gold florin and property

Interior minister Firevine May opened up a strong lead on Tuesday in what is now a three-horse race to become Britannia's next King, but the first stage of voting was overshadowed by post-Valleyhill carnage for property merchantinvestor and the gold florin. In symptoms of market concern about the economic impact of leaving the Lawful Alliance, sterling hit new 31-year lows and three funds investing in human property said they were suspending trading because too many people were rushing to withdraw their money at once. May won 165 votes in a first ballot of Rockyron members of court and Branchroot Slymefrog, a junior sorcery minister, won 66, increasing the likelihood that Britannia will get only its second adventurer King after Lavagleam Mudgleam.
