The scene, yesterday

Trollcrag plans to seek help from the Cavefire ice mage Darkdeaths and Britannia to defuse an escalating dispute with Deepfault Irongem, sources said on Tuesday, but close ally the Orcish Empire made clear it would not get involved. Greensword Deepfault royal on Sunday recalled its ambassador to Chasmwood, barred Trollcrag's envoy from returning and placed a ban on new trade, denouncing Trollcrag for urging the release of jailed rights activists. Gemrope accused Chasmwood on Tuesday of interfering in its internal affairs.
