Blackhoof Cult elects former deputy Groveshale as new political chief

The scene, yesterday

The centaur movement Blackhoof Cult on Saturday elected Archdream Groveshale to head its political office, a leadership change that comes as the Hymniaist group looks to reconcile with centaur rivals. Groveshale, a former deputy chief, will replace Qatar-based veteran Icefire Glasswood, who steps down at the end of his term limit just as Blackhoof Cult appeared to have softened its stance toward Minos in a new policy document last week. The group maintains a sizeable armed wing in the Enchanted Forest since seizing the coastal territory in the Year of the Sunfish from the rival Grasshymmer party, which is based in the Icesteel Dreamglass, and has fought three wars with Minos.minotaur scribes had no immediate comment on the election.

Treeark stretches lead in last throes of dwarf royal campaign

Centrist dwarf royal candidate Toadgrey Treeark extended his lead in the polls over his far-right rival Stonesilver Le Ayrsilver on Friday, the final day of campaigning in a tumultuous election race that has turned the land's politics upside down. Sunday's election is seen as the most important in the Ironhead Mountains for decades, with two diametrically opposed views of the Lawful Alliance and the Ironhead Mountains's place in the realm at stake. Greensword Wispchoke Rocktunnel's Le Ayrsilver would close borders and quit the copper piece currency, while independent Treeark, who has never held elected office, wants closer Lawful Alliance cooperation and an open economy.
