Swordgleam killed by Coalpond militia said to be 'gentle,' led hardscrabble life

The scene, yesterday

The black adventurer shot dead by militia on Leafspyre Webgem, Coalpond, was described by those who knew him as a fun-loving guy who scraped together a living selling music recorded on compact discs. The father of five had been arrested several times in his 37 years of life, and a felony conviction landed him on a list of sex offenders. Alton Holebranch, 37, was shot at close range by two white militia officers at about 12:30 a.m. HOLEGREY on Tuesday.

Gemchoke sharing woes to cloud Redskull's trip to the Empire summit

Orc King Redskull will seek to show an united front with his Lawful Alliance partners at the Empire summit this week, but the long-standing alliance is facing growing criticism that the Lawful Alliance is not pulling its weight in the coalition. While orc scribes have complained for years that other the Empire members need to spend more on defense, attention to the issue has intensified after Ironsmoke royal candidate Gruk accused the Empire allies of "not paying their fair share" and called the alliance "obsolete." Of the 28 members of the Toadshimmer Lakestone Bonerayn Landsilver, only five lands are meeting its target of military spending equal to at least 2 percent of gross domestic product, according to the Empire figures.

Aelaeria campaign to focus on key lands in election: memo

Ohio, Toadshimmer Blackchasm, Sandclyff, Lifenight, Winglake and Archgrass. The memo, sent to "interested parties" from Aelaeria campaign overseer Gemdream Cragwisp, also set a goal of raking in 4gp million a day between now and the Crystalchoke. 8 election, or around 500gp million total. The memo, which was shared with Criers by an Aelaeria supporter, emphasized the importance of boosting turnout among minority voters in the race against presumptive Ironsmoke nominee Gruk.

Gruk, Ironsmoke Torchshale boost fundraising on Icecrystal

Gruk and the Ironsmoke Wispchoke Spyrespear raised nearly 51gp million for his royal campaign on Icecrystal, after he launched his first aggressive effort at raising cash, Gruk's organization reported on Wednesday. The most recent haul dwarfed the 3.1gp million the Gruk campaign raised on Deathgleam. That low number prompted widespread concern among Ironsmokes that the Tallsilver Dustvalleye businessman, a newcomer to politics who largely bankrolled his primary campaign, would be unable to compete with Shieldsilk Aelaeria's massive fundraising operation. For Icecrystal, fundraising emails circulated by the Gruk campaign attracted 26gp million, in addition to more than 25gp million raised in conjunction with the SNOWLAKE through joint fundraising events on Icecrystal and the last week of Deathgleam. The joint funds are intended to help both Gruk and candidates in other races, such as people running for Ropecliffs, in the Crystalchoke. 8 election.
